To make the holiday bright and unforgettable, it is better for the birthday person to prepare an entertainment program in advance.

    All guests of the holiday participate in the competition. The facilitator gives each participant a piece of paper and a pen. The task of the contestants is to write as many famous namesakes of the birthday boy (actors, singers, athletes, politicians, TV presenters, etc.) as possible. You have 5 minutes to complete the task. The winner of the competition is the participant who compiles the largest list of famous namesakes of the hero of the occasion.

    Game "Guess the mask"

    All guests of the holiday participate in the game. To carry it out, you need to prepare masks in advance with a hole cut out for the face. On each mask you need to write the name of an animal. For example, cow, hippopotamus, tiger, fly, fox, crocodile, penguin.

    At the beginning of the game, the host calls the first volunteer to the center of the hall and puts a mask on him so that he does not see what is written on it. After this, the player begins to ask the guests leading questions, trying to guess the word written on his mask. Guests can only answer them with “Yes” or “No”. You can't give any hints. After he guesses the word, the presenter invites the next person to the center of the hall, and so on. The game continues until all the masks are gone.

    Sample questions

    • Do I have a tail?
    • Am I with wings?
    • I can fly?
    • Am I making sounds?
    • Am I green?
  • All children invited to the holiday participate in the competition. They are divided into 2 teams. The presenter holds out a small volleyball net in the center of the hall. The teams stand on opposite sides of it. The presenter gives each participant a small balloon.

    Game “Congratulate the birthday boy”

    All children invited to the holiday play the game. Its essence is to cheerfully congratulate the birthday person on his birthday.

    The host invites the hero of the occasion to the center of the hall. He puts on a specially made skirt with handles at the ends. The kids stand around the birthday boy, take the skirt with their hands by the handles and pull it on. The skirt opens like a parachute. After this, the presenter pours on it pre-sewn from any light fabric bags.

    On the count of three, the guys begin to make waves with their skirt and say “Happy Birthday!” At the same time, the bags fly up, bringing pleasure to the birthday boy.

    Game "Fly"

    All children invited to the birthday party play the game. The leader arranges the kids in a circle, and he himself stands in the center. In his hands he holds a stick with a rope, at the end of which a toy in the form of a fly is attached. Children must catch it with their hands. The presenter's task is to spin the fly over the guys' heads, not allowing them to grab it. As soon as the leader tells the children that the fly is angry, they must quickly sit down so that it does not bite them. After that they start catching her again. The game continues until interest disappears.

    At the end, the presenter can invite the children to sing the song “Fly-Tsokotukha” together, showing different movements.

    All interested children participate in the competition. A small circle with a dot in the center is marked on the floor. Participants stand around him at a distance of several meters. They are given the same number of flat stones.

    Their task is to hit the point in the center of the circle with a pebble. At first they just throw them from where they stand. It is very difficult to hit the target the first time. After the first throw, they approach the landing spot of their pebble and try to get into the center of the circle, hitting it with a click. You can knock down your opponent's pebble with your own, preventing him from hitting the target. The participant whose pebble lands first on the point in the center of the circle wins.

    All children who are present at the festival participate in the competition. To carry it out, you need to prepare an improvised screen by making a cut in the fabric a little more than 10 centimeters. This fabric needs to be attached to a box with an opening bottom (so that you can change items in it).

    The children's task is to put their hand into the box through the slot and guess by touch what fruit is in it. You can hide an orange, banana, strawberry, apple, peach, etc. After the participant has identified the fruit, he can pull out his hand along with the contents.

    After the competition, you can take out fruit slices for the children.

    Game "Mystery glasses"

    All children who are present at the holiday participate in the competition. They are divided equally into 2 teams. Whatman paper is hung in front of each group of participants, with the clean side facing the players. On back side cells are drawn on which numbers are written - from 0 to 9.

    Each participant must go to the Whatman paper and pierce it anywhere with a toothpick. After all the children complete the task, the Whatman paper is turned over and the amount of points that the players scored is counted.

    The team with big amount points.

    Game "Letter set"

    All children who want to participate in the game. They are divided equally into 2-3 teams. The facilitator gives each group of participants one identical set of cards with letters. The players' task is to form a word from these letters. The words relate to the theme "Birthday". The team that is the first to raise the given word above its head and show the presenter and spectators receives 1 point. Shouting words is prohibited. The completed word must be presented to the presenter and shown to the audience. After the teams have guessed the first word, the presenter gives them the next set of cards and so on. The group of participants with the largest number points.

1. Musical congratulations on the woman’s anniversary “Mask Show”

Note: Such a congratulation is easy to carry out impromptu and, despite the fact that it is musical, those congratulating you do not have to sing, but only artistically, as if on behalf of their character, congratulate the birthday girl to a pre-prepared phonogram. The character's image is created using special masks or appropriate props.

SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS:

Option #1. Voluntary.

The organizer’s decoy may be as follows: “It’s not for nothing that our program is called “Everything for You,” because today, in fact, all the flowers, compliments and congratulations are only for our birthday girl (name). As a child, for our birthday, we were waiting for a wizard in a blue helicopter, but as we grew up, we realized that miracles often happen where they are made, where they create miracles themselves.. And now I offer it to everyone who loves our birthday girl and who wants to be involved in little miracle- a surprise in her honor, come out to me. There should be exactly seven such participants - the most magical number in the world. (As a rule, there are always close relatives or friends at the anniversary who want to take part in this congratulation)

Also, the participants of the congratulations can be determined using the game moment “Bag in a circle”. To do this, all the props are folded into an opaque bag or package and, accompanied by lively music, are passed around in a circle (guests pass the bag to their closest neighbor at the feast), the one who has the bag in his hands when the music stops (the DJ makes these stops on purpose) takes it out , without looking, puts on a mask and goes into the center of the hall. This happens several times until all the masks are taken apart.

Then the presenter quickly explains to the participantsThere is fun and solemnly announces the exit of each of them, and the participants take turns coming out and congratulating the culprit as brightly and emotionally as possible.

(Note: if they will be used latex masks, then let the participant put it on immediately before his exit, because It is uncomfortable to stay in them for a long time).

We celebrate birthdays year after year. And the scenario can be monotonous if it revolves only around the table and alcohol. It's sad, isn't it? True hospitality is when you take care not only of your stomach, but also of your soul.

The lavish 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 competitions designed to amuse the gathered company and train the ingenuity of the guests!

Cool table competitions for the fun company “Spy Passions”

Many competitions involve solving mysteries in the face of a lack of information. A person at any age loves riddles, especially if the winner receives a gift!

Tentacle forks

The essence of the game is simple: recognize an object blindly. The guest's eyes are blindfolded, and he cannot touch the object with his 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 select in advance ordinary household items like a comb, toothbrush, pencil, candy, orange, etc. To make the task easier, the player can ask questions like: “Is this edible?”, “Is this a hygiene item?”, “Is it made of wood?” ? and others who can help solve the problem.

You are allowed to answer “Yes” and “No”, no more. The one who guessed more and more accurately wins. You are guaranteed to laugh until you cry!

Who am I?

Each participant has a piece of paper with an inscription attached to their forehead using tape. This can be any noun: a living creature or 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 takes turns asking a leading question (“Am I an actor?”, “Am I a woman?”), to which you can only answer “Yes” or “No.” The first person to guess his character (or another word) wins. Anyone who guesses incorrectly is eliminated from 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 pieces of paper.
The gift is wrapped in the first layer of foil, and a leaf with a riddle is attached 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 simpler ones on top. Someone reads the inscription. The first person to guess the riddle has the right to remove a layer of foil and read the next one. The process is repeated.

The one who guessed the best one gets the gift. difficult riddle and removed the last layer of foil.

Game "Killer"

The number of participants is unlimited. To draw lots you will need coins and an opaque bag. The coins must be identical, and only one must be marked (of a different color or with some symbol).

All players take out a coin without showing it to others. That participant. whoever comes across a marked coin is considered a “killer”.

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” “kills” in a random order - he blinks, meeting the victim’s gaze, trying to ensure that his actions are not noticed by other players. The killed participant immediately declares loudly, placing his coin on the table:
-Killed!
And leaves the game.
The participant who suspected the “killer” says (pointing to him):
- I suspect.
But only two suspects together can catch the “killer”. Until the second suspect shows up, the “killer” has time to take the first one out of the game. The goal of the participant with the marked coin is to “kill” all participants before he is exposed.

Guess the prize

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

The treasured bag contains 5 gifts for each letter. A - orange, H - scissors, T - plate, O - postcard, N - handkerchief. If the prizes are complicated, you can give guests small hints. Whoever guesses the item first gets it.

Emergency!

A simple game that requires no props and will delight any crowd.

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! An unexpected “truth” not only increases the level of endorphins, but sometimes reveals the secrets of the subconscious...

Question answer

The meaning of the game is clear from the name - with the clarification that both are written on cards and placed in two piles with the text facing down.

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

You will discover that your friend is hiding sandwiches in the most unimaginable places, and best friend howling at the moon at night, sitting on the roof...

Story

In front of the players are sheets of paper with letters of the alphabet. Someone chooses one of them, and all participants must come up with one word starting with 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 reached demonic disorientation.” The brighter your imagination works, the more fun the game!

Table vocabulary game “Say the Same Thing”

WITH in English The name of the game can be translated as “Say what I say.”

It can take place if there are at least two people.
Its essence is as follows: on the count of one, two, three, players pronounce any random word.

The task of the participants is to come to a common denominator (word) through step-by-step associations. On the next count, players must pronounce the next word that relates to and combines the previous ones spoken.

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

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

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

A Tale with Missing Words

The presenter writes a fable in advance, the characters of which are participants in the holiday. Only the fairy tale lacks some words that the players are asked to come up with. Each person takes turns calling a noun, adjective or verb, depending on what is required in the text.

Revelry of imagination and the most ridiculous and funny epithets are welcome! When all the blanks are filled in, the universal creation is read aloud.

Noun and adjective

The principle here is the same 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 and epithets, and the last one voices the hidden word.

The result is something like “a glassy, ​​charming, sexy, mysterious, grumpy cutlet.” The game is played quickly. Guests change roles so that everyone comes up with a noun.

"In my pants..."

The meaning of the game must remain a mystery until the very end. Participants sit in a circle, and everyone tells the neighbor on the left the name of a film, TV series or cartoon. The player remembers, but tells the next one in line a different name, and so on until the end. After this, the presenter asks everyone to say “In my pants...” and add the name of the film heard from a neighbor.

Imagine that someone has “The Lion King” or “Resident Evil” hiding in the designated place!

Cool competitions for a fun company at the table “Discover your talents!”

There are games that explore intelligence, artistry, and creativity. Who is the most talented? Who will impress the guests the most and make them laugh until they cry? The competitions presented below can provide answers to these questions.

Dancing while sitting

Contestants sit down on stools in the center of the hall and begin to dance to catchy music without leaving their seats.

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

The audience votes for the best chair dancer.

Princesses-non-laughs

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

If within a certain period of time all the “sour faces” are cheerful, their opponents win. If not, the “non-laughers” win.

Sculptor

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

The speed of sculpting and similarity to the original are assessed. Players receive 2 prizes for the “beauty of the masterpiece” and the efficiency of production!

My mouth is full of worries

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

Skyscraper

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

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

Speed ​​solving puzzles

Small puzzles with 54 pieces are quite affordable, but you can take more complex ones. Participants are divided into 2 teams and excitedly assemble the picture at speed. Puzzles that are too large can bore 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 individually. In the first case, the leader selects 1 person from each group and tells them a word. Start with something simple, like the names of animals or ordinary objects. Then there may 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 birthdays, congratulations and toasts are important.
But not everyone likes 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 under certain conditions! For example:

  • the congratulation should be related to food (“let there be life in chocolate!”);
  • give a speech for the birthday boy in a thematic style (for example, like “brothers” with criminal words, in the style of “Alice in Wonderland” or the works of Tolkien - depending on the company that has gathered);
  • the congratulation is associated with animals (“beautiful like a butterfly”);
  • compose a rhyming greeting on the fly;
  • say a toast in a foreign language;
  • congratulate the hero of the occasion, using the ENTIRE list of words taken “out of thin air” (sun, rainbow, newspaper, slippers, president...).

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

Magic story

Guests are divided into 2 equal teams, each participant needs to write words on pieces of paper. The latter should relate to a specific topic, for example, one group writes what comes to mind in connection with the concept of “Birthday”. Another comes up with associations for the birthday person 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”...). The words may be taken at random, but that's not that interesting.

The teams then exchange their notes, with the blank side up. Players take turns taking out pieces of paper and coming up with a sentence with the specified word. The team must come up with a story that is interconnected in meaning, then the turn goes to the opponents.

"Not at ease"

As they say, look at your neighbor's plate - you'll always have time to look at yours. The competition is held over food. The driver names any letter of the alphabet, and the participants must name the corresponding product on their plate faster than others.

The use of ё, и, ь, ъ, ы is prohibited. The first one to guess becomes the new presenter. If no one can name the word starting with the specified letter, he receives a prize.

A good holiday requires advance preparation. You need to prepare a bunch of dishes - what other fun? – you may ask. But it’s the cool table competitions that will make the atmosphere fun, and the company around the table won’t be bored.

You can involve guests in the preparation process: ask them to bring props (don’t say what for!) or crafts that will decorate the holiday.

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

It’s wonderful when during a festive evening there are many delicious dishes and drinks on the table. But this is not enough for complete fun. In order for everyone who came to unite and have a great time during the celebration of the round anniversary, it is important to know how to entertain guests at the anniversary.

When starting to plan leisure activities, owners should imagine what age category of people will be present. For younger audiences, more frisky competitions are suitable. For older people - calm ones.

To prepare for entertainment program follows in advance. It would be nice to buy small gifts and souvenirs that will be a great incentive to participate in leisure activities.

When 2-3 toasts have already been raised to the traitor, the guests have had a good snack, then you can start having fun. When thinking about how to entertain guests at your anniversary, you can include a couple of well-known competitions in the program, but it would be nice to also prepare new ones.

Dance on the newspaper

This entertainment has been known for a long time, but is still popular. Several pairs of men and women come out. Cheerful music plays and the contestants dance on a large laid out newspaper. Gradually it is folded in half, then in half again, and so on until the couple can fit on a piece of paper. The most inventive men can eventually take their partners in their arms and dance this way. After all, the main thing is not to leave the newspaper, then you can win. The couple that lasts the longest on paper is awarded a prize.

Sedentary dancing

4-5 people are called. They sit on chairs facing the audience. The host invites them to dance on chairs. Participants write out the pretzel for a minute, after which the command “stop” is heard, and the organizer says that they are tired. He explains that the dancers' legs are tired and now they are allowed to dance using any part of the body except the legs. After a couple of minutes, the following announcement sounds that the hands are tired (they are already dancing without them). Gradually, various parts of the body should be immobilized: stomach, shoulders, head. Now the funniest part begins when the contestants begin to “dance” only with parts of their faces. You will get funny faces when you use your tongue, cheeks, lips, nose and even ears. You can make the task more difficult for participants by telling them that their mouth or tongue is tired. Great mood everything is provided. The main thing is not to forget about the prizes for the participants at the end.

Here's how to entertain guests at an anniversary if the hero of the occasion is a man.

Attentive hero of the day

The hero of the day needs to be blindfolded and asked to find his wife’s hand by touch among several women’s hands. You can place among several participants and men. Then the entertainment will be even funnier, and you won’t have to rack your brains about how to entertain the guests. Competitions will lift the spirits, introduce everyone present and create a pleasant atmosphere.

Playing forfeits will also come in handy. If there are children present at the birthday party, then you can arrange a musical competition, where everyone in turn must sing a line from a famous song. Whoever thinks for more than 10 seconds is out.

Here's how to entertain guests at an anniversary so that guests don't get bored and then remember for a long time a wonderful evening. Nice prizes and souvenirs will also be an excellent reminder of a fun holiday.

Any feast is an occasion to gather loved ones and relatives. And to make it more fun, you need to diversify it with table competitions. The options are described in the article.

Options: black, weight 4 kg, large ears; blue eyes, height - 45cm, your smile from ear to ear; cunning eyes, screams worse than the director, weight - 3 kg.
  • Guests know how to behave in standard situations. Now it’s worth imagining that an acquaintance has taken place: aliens and an astronaut, the owner of a haunted house, a yeti and a hunter, a man from the future with his relative from the last century. A couple of guests need to get into character and stage an unusual acquaintance.

  • Chamomile– a daisy is made from a cardboard circle and plain paper. Write tasks on the petals (depict a butterfly, tell a funny incident from your life, kiss the hand of all women present). All desires should be easily fulfilled at the table.
  • Forks– the participant is blindfolded and given two forks. Next, you should put any object (pencil, folder, flower) on the plate. Touching the item only with forks, the player must guess it.

When choosing games, consider the number of people and the age of the guests. Prepare the props in advance and think about the sequence of competitions.
