Fun games and contests for children and adults. Fun contests for children and adults Children's contests for adults

The presenter describes in two or three words the hero or heroine of fairy tales and cartoons, without naming names, and the children must guess who they are talking about. Raised his hand - answered, answered correctly - received a prize. Examples: yellow cartoon characters, neither people nor animals, eating bananas (minions), female sex, blue hair, excellent upbringing (Malvina), from the feline family, in his world he is the king (The Lion King) and so on.

Guess the animal

The presenter pronounces 2-3 words, and the child must guess the animal. Whoever raises his hand first answers, and whoever has more answers will receive a prize. For example: neck, spots - giraffe; saliva, hump - camel; horseshoe, cart - horse; king, mane - lion and so on.

Lost color

All children stand in a circle, and the leader explains the rules: when he says: “One, two, three. Find the red color! ”, The guys should find this color on the clothes of the guests or in the hall and put their hand to it. Those who could not find anything sit down, and for the rest the competition continues. Now the presenter names a different color. And so on until one participant remains.

Aliens

Large balloons and markers are required for this competition. Children are explained that they have in their hands the planets of the Universe, on which there are no inhabitants yet. Each participant must "populate" his "planet" with little people. The winner is the one on whose ball there are more drawn creatures. You can also give a prize for the most original alien.

Strongest couple

Children are divided into pairs. The main task of each pair is to prove themselves to the fullest and not to unhook their hands for anything. The presenter takes turns giving commands, for example, "run from the tiger", "squat down fast-fast", "fly like an airplane", "catch a butterfly" and so on. The pair that unlocks their hands is eliminated, and the strongest and most artistic pair of guys will receive a prize.

Everyone for vaccination

Children are divided into 2 teams, the participants of which line up in 2 rows. Each team is given a syringe (without a needle). Opposite each team, at a certain distance, there is a basin or other container with water. And next to the first team members is an empty container. The task of the teams is to transfer water from one container to another faster than the rivals using a syringe, while one participant replaces the other. Whose team will cope faster, she won.

In the footsteps of the wild beast

Children are divided into 2-3 teams with the same number of participants. Teams line up in separate rows. Each team (first participants) receives two tracks (tracks of a wild animal cut out of plain paper, for example, a tiger track). At the start command, the first participants put the first track, take a step, then the second, step on it and so shift the tracks and use them to get to the goal. And this very goal will be the mark on which the bowl of cakes will be located, for example. As soon as the participant reached the goal, he eats one cake and runs back, already free running, passes the baton and tracks to the second participant. The team that goes the fastest in the footsteps of a wild animal and eats all its prey (cakes), and the first participants will again come first, will be the winner.

How many insects does the birthday boy have

The presenter declares that the birthday man has many insects and the guests will have to count them. In advance, in the room where the celebration will take place, there are different insects, for example, 7 butterflies, 7 ladybirds, 7 bees, cut out of paper or small toy figures, in the same number. Insects can be placed anywhere - on walls, on the ceiling, on a chandelier, on a table, and so on. Whoever of the guests is the fastest and correctly counts all the insects, he will receive a prize.

Turtles

In this competition, each of the guests of the holiday has the opportunity to feel like a turtle. So, the guests are divided into teams with the same number of people. At the same distance from the teams there are bowls with goodies (cookies or sweets in an amount equal to the number of team members). The first participants are given basins (bowls). At the start command, the first participants get on all fours and put the basin on their backs and set off to their goal (to the bowl with treats), take one treat and back to their team, pass the basin and the baton to the next participant. The team that snails the distance faster and grabs their treats will be the winner.

Birthday snowman

An ice cream package for everyone and a special ice cream spoon for each participant. At the start command, each participant on his plate with the help of a spoon puts a ball of ice cream on the ball, trying to make the tallest snowman. Whoever manages to build the tallest birthday snowman in a minute will receive a prize.

An inflatable ball is placed in the middle of the table. Two participants are blindfolded and sit down at the table. They are invited to compete in blowing this ball.

When they begin to blow forcefully on this plate, they are amazed, and when their eyes are untied, they are indescribable delight.

2. Contest "Funny replacement"
The competition requires a girl and a guy. The girl lies down and lays out the leading cookies, nuts (anything edible, but not large) on it. In the meantime, the guy is blindfolded and told that he, with his eyes closed and without hands, should eat the superimposed from the girl. The trick is that during the explanation of the competition, the girl is replaced by a guy (to be discussed in advance). With the permission of the host to start the competition, the guy begins to get sophisticated, collecting pieces of food, not suspecting a replacement.
Begins to suspect that something is wrong only when a wild rzhach is heard))))

3. Competition "Impatiens"
The boys take turns into the room with the girls. Boys should be blindfolded and hands behind their backs. The boy needs to guess all the girls who are present. Hands are tied behind, you have to act only with your head in the truest sense of the word. Everyone just falls out laughing when a young man just sniffs the whole girl, licks or does something else with her.
At the end of the competition, the total is calculated: how many correct and incorrect answers. Based on this, the first place is awarded .

4. Adult competition "Train Schedule"

The essence of the game: you need to pass a cucumber behind your backs imperceptibly from the host and bite off a piece of it at every opportunity. And the task of the driver is to guess in whose hands the cucumber is. If the leader guessed it, then the player caught by him takes his place.

On command, one of the couple must touch the other with the clothes from the bag he received in one minute. The winner is the couple that "gets dressed" faster and more correctly than the others. It's fun when there are two men in a pair and they get a bag of purely female clothes!

The players must read what is written on the backs of the opponent's pair and, at the same time, prevent their

10. Contest "Transfer"
Two glasses are placed on a table (chair or other surface). Nearby is a straw (well, through which they drink). The task of the participants of the competition is to pour water from one glass into another as quickly as possible.

The players are divided into two teams. The facilitator gives two empty boxes without an inner paper box. Objective: to quickly pass the boxes to teammates ... by nose. If the box falls, it is lifted, put on the nose, and the competition continues. Everything seems to be simple, but dexterity is indispensable.

On which we did without contests. But ... There were so many requests for help in organizing the holiday in the comments that I went around the Internet three times in search of games and entertainment that would not be very childish and did not require the presence of an adult presenter.

The task, I can tell you, is very difficult. There are funny contests, but those that are too early to hold in adolescence, and they can only cheer up drunken guests. This does not suit us ...

Where to begin

There are many ready-made free scripts on the "Holiday Again" website. These are not only a selection of contests, but also full-fledged home quests and creative programs (culinary, photo parties, etc.)

Obstacle dance

First stage. We pull one rope at a height of 1 meter, and the other at a height of 50 cm from the floor. You can move a little, not one above the other. As a rule, there is nowhere to tie in the apartment, you have to hold the ends of the upper and lower ropes in your right and left hand.

Now we turn on dance music (preferably fast Latin) and ask the lower rope to step over, and climb under the upper one. If there are few guests, several dance circles.

Second phase. We blindfold two participants and ask them to overcome the obstacles. We quietly remove the ropes ... it remains to observe the efforts of the careful dancers.

Frozen artist

Presenter: "We need two people who draw well." He gives them a felt-tip pen: “Only today you don’t need this, I’ll enchant you. Imagine that you have an invisible sheet of paper in front of you, prepare a felt-tip pen and ... freeze! "

We call the other two participants, to whom we give the album sheet in their hands (it is better to attach it to a solid base). The point is that the artists with the felt-tip pens should stand motionless, and their assistants would move the sheet along the tip of the felt-tip pen, trying to capture a drawing that everyone could understand. It can be a portrait of a birthday boy, a birthday cake with candles, just a house with a tree and the sun. Everything turns out funny, try it!

Siamese twins

On the cards you need to write any part of the body, call all the guests and build them in pairs. Each pair pulls a card and sticks with the part of the body that fell out to them, like Siamese twins. Noses, heels, backs of heads, elbows, knees, backs. Now you need to tie a handkerchief to each other. Let one pair do it, the others just watch. The winner is the one who had the most difficult situation. Try to put a handkerchief on the "twin" if your backs are glued together ...

What did you do there?

The game is equally fun for both children and adults, since it is difficult to think of something more fun than random coincidences of questions and answers.

We write on the tablets:"Dentist's office", "Director's office", "Toilet", "Bathhouse", "Bakery", "Cinema", "Mail", "Park", "Zoo", "Theater", "Hairdresser", "Basement" , "Construction", "Kindergarten", "Pension Fund", "Uninhabited Island", "Fitness Club".

The player stands with his back to the guests, the leader puts a plate with one of these inscriptions on his back. The guests know what they are talking about, but the "lucky one" answers at random. Players can be changed. Here is a sample list of questions (you cannot answer "yes" or "no"):

Do you go there often? (Every Friday, three times a week, rarely but with pleasure)
Do you like this place? (It can be better, I still don't understand for sure)
Who do you usually go there with?
Which famous person would you like to meet there?
What do you usually take with you there? Name three subjects.
What do you usually do there?
Why did you choose this place?

We change the plate and the player. It's fun when they go to kindergarten once a month with Alla Pugacheva, take a laptop and a toothbrush with them, do ballet there or eat pizza) &

Downed pilots

I once held this game on February 23 at school, but all the spectators were so carried away that I boldly propose to organize it at a birthday party. Oddly enough, recklessly.

We make 5-6 paper airplanes, and put 20 pieces of paper lumps in a basket. One person lets the planes go (choose the longest side in the room), all the others try to shoot down the flying planes. If this is a competition to find a winner, we give 5 attempts each.

Defile

Can be held at the moment when you want to invite guests to the table. Build them at the opposite wall and solemnly announce (you don’t need to give out roles in advance): “A famous yogi, a dancer from the east, Baba Yaga, a fairy-tale Princess, a Cannibal, a Shushera rat, a ballerina from the Bolshoi Theater, one-legged Pirate, the President of Russia have arrived at the gala dinner , bodybuilding champion, famous supermodel (actress), toddler who learned to walk today.

All guests need to walk a few steps in the image and sit down at the table.

Unlucky sculptor

There is no need to inform anyone in advance about the name of the competition, otherwise the meaning will become clear, and we do not need this. All guests must go to another room, only the host and three players remain. You appoint one as a sculptor and ask him to put the other two in the most uncomfortable positions. For example, let the first one freeze, squeezing from the floor in the top position, and the second one sits on his back, clasping his hands behind the lock. And now the presenter changes the one who is most difficult in the new sculpture, for the sculptor himself. Since he himself invented torture for others, take the rap :-).

Now you can start one new player from another room. Now he is a sculptor who must inspect the previous strange statue and create his new one, again inventing complex poses. We repeat everything, the sculptor takes the place of the victim himself. It's always funny, try it! Naturally, all other guests enter one by one and remain in the room until the end of the game.

snowman

Build several people (4-6) one after the other, sideways to the guests. Show the latter a simple drawing of a snowman and ask him to draw THIS on the back of the previous player. He tries to understand what he was depicted, draws on his back what he understood (silently). So we get to the first in this queue, which on blank paper should depict the initial drawing. Usually the snowman turns into a face :-). The rest of the details are lost along the way.

Guess what's in hand

Thanks to the weirdness of the stuffed toy makers, this competition is funny. We blindfold the player and offer to guess what he is holding in his hands. For example, when we suggested identifying a snake in a Santa Claus hat with a gift bag, the girl said it was a snail. Guests are always surprised that they could not guess such an obvious animal. It's funnier if a person comments out loud on their guesses.

What the Indians would call you

This is not a competition, just an excuse to laugh at the table while eating the cake. I found a picture on the Internet and laughed myself. These are comic names that the Indians might give you. The first column is the first letter of the name, the second column is the first letter of the surname. I, Irina Panasyan, would be called the Playful Pelican ...

Verbal shape-shifters

Solving the shape-shifters is fun. Let me remind you that these are:

Milk is boiling over the standing sand (which means - Water does not flow under the lying stone).

I will not list all the options with the answers, just copy the link, there are about 100 options:

http://livk.ru/category/igry/perevertyshi/

Upside-down pictures

Print these pictures and cut them up so that the answer is not so obvious. In principle, you can cover half with a sheet of paper directly on the monitor. First, show the first one: “You see, here a huge crow grabbed the little man with its beak. Guess what you see if you turn the picture over. " The correct answer is: "A man in a boat near an island, to which a huge fish swam." There is a lot of this on the site that I give!

Puzzle

Move 3 matches so that the arrow points in the opposite direction. There are answers to all riddles!

I advise you to buy fireplace (long) matches. This is clearer in the company.

Questions and Answers

This is absolutely definitely a win-win entertainment. Tested on thousands of children and adults' parties. I found a site that has selected questions and answers that are relatively suitable for a 12-14 year old birthday.

You need to conduct it like this. It is enough to have questions only for the presenter, you can read in a row. But the answers should be printed on separate sheets of paper and invited guests to draw out a piece of paper at random: "Do you brush your teeth?" - "Yes, I have a lot of talents ..."

Draw 3D

Now, even among adults, creative workshops are popular, so let's not lag behind. I like that this particular drawing ALWAYS turns out for EVERYONE, but it looks very impressive. What do you need? Album sheets for each person, a simple pencil, felt-tip pens and 5-7 minutes of time.

Place the left palm on the sheet and draw a pencil around the outline. Now we take a felt-tip pen of any color and draw parallel lines at a distance of 1 cm from each other. Just a straight line from the edge of the paper, and where the outline of the hand begins, you need to draw an arc. After the contour of the hand, continue in a straight line. I think everything is clear from the picture. It turns out a real 3D drawing! In my opinion, great!

With felt-tip pens of other colors, we repeat the bends of the first lines, it's already quite simple. If you put a date on the picture and hang it in a frame, you will remember for a long time how you had a good time with friends on your birthday.

What else is there on this site ...

There are great quest scenarios:, and that you can organize for your guests. In both quests, you can change the tasks themselves (complicate or facilitate).

If there are only girls at the party, take a look and.

... There are tasks that can be used not only in the new year.

More ... At this age, they often finish their studies in music and drawing, so I advise you to look at:

Video: Game "Mafia" for teenagers

When a good company gathers at the table, the party promises to be fun!

But the guests drank and ate ... they talked the latest news from the life of their loved ones and the country as a whole ... danced ... and some got ready to get bored ... But it wasn’t there!

Good hosts always have in store something that will not only dispel boredom, but also bring the guests of the holiday closer together, as well as everyone will remember for a long time with fun and humor - these are, of course, various contests.

They are very different:

movable (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 versions, change the rules, add items, increase or decrease the number of participants - in a word, be creative in drawing up a program of fun and amusing table contests for an adult company sitting at the table.

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

"The alphabet is next to us"

The presenter names any letter of the alphabet, except for the four Y-S-L-B (you can also agree to exclude the letter E).

Those who play in a circle call objects-products-things starting with this letter, which are located directly next to and which you can reach with your hand or touch.

Option! - add adjectives to the list of nouns: B - incomparable salad, incomparable lipstick (at the neighbor's), endless pasta, C - pretty vinaigrette, sugar cake ...

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

And here's another letter game.

"Burime in order"

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

The phrase must begin first with the letter A, the next with B, then B, and so on. It is advisable to come up with funny phrases, such as:

- And it's great that we have gathered today!
- It happened that ...
- That's …
- Gentlemen ...

Attention! The sequence of letters in the alphabet and the meaning of the sentences invented are 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. It is decided by a friendly vote.

The ABC was - it's up to poetry!

"What is 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 propose the next competition.

Several handymen are given an item, which is packed in an opaque cloth-box-bag. They should quietly consider what they got and write a poem about the subject. The guests listen and guess.

Important! You cannot name what is hidden, you can only describe the purpose, appearance in verse ...

The writer of the longest and most original piece wins.

Everyone loves fairy tales!

"Modern fairy tale"

Inventory: sheets 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 herself (option - the driver appoints) a profession. For example, cooks and truckers.

After 5-7 minutes of preparation, the teams should voice any fairy tale they have chosen (option - assigned by the driver) in a modern way, using professional vocabulary and terminology.

For example, the tale of a gallant cook begins with the words: "Once upon a time there was a piece of ham at my grandmother's place for two and a half kilos ..." We advise the compiler of the program to come up with starting phrases in advance for different professions of the participants.

Everyone has fun! The winning team will receive a prize: sweets, a bottle of champagne for everyone ...

Try it like that! Not teams are playing, but individual participants. Then more time is given to prepare, and it will be easier for the guests to allocate the winner.

Loved by everyone since childhood "Spoiled Phone"

Here the more people, the better.

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

Everyone remembers that you need to whisper quietly and as close as possible to what you heard. The latter reads the word aloud.

The funny begins at the moment when, if there is a mismatch between the "entry-exit", "disassembly" begins - at what stage, at whom what went wrong.

Robot YES-NO

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

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

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

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

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

Contests with paper

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

Orator chipmunk

Props:

nuts (or an orange, or a roll),
paper,
pen.

Those sitting at the table are divided into pairs: "speaker" and "stenographer".

The "speaker" shoves nuts (orange slices, a piece of bread) by the cheeks so that it is difficult to speak. He is given a text (poetry or prose), which must 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 it is compared with the "source".

The couple with the most correct "transcript" wins.

Option! One "speaker" is chosen, and everyone writes down.

"Explain in 30 Seconds"

pens / pencils according to the number of players,
small pieces of paper,
box / bag / cap.

We play like this:

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.
Players receive pens / pencils and pieces of paper (each has several - 15-20).
Each writes 15-20 (to stipulate this in advance with the players) of any nouns that come to mind: on one sheet of paper - one noun.
Leaves with words are hidden in a box / bag / hat.
First, the first pair-team plays: they take turns pulling out sheets of paper with words and must explain to each other the word that they come across, but in no case naming the noun itself.

For example, the word "cart" is a horse-drawn cart, "frying pan" is a pancake baking machine.

After the first word is guessed, you can take out a piece of paper with another.

30 seconds are given for everything. You can also 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 goes to another pair of players.

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

The team that guessed the most words wins.

Fun drinking 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 they can be flowers.

We play like this:

All in turn take out paper sheets with questions and answer them not only as truthfully as possible, but also funny.

Questions might be:

What was your favorite childhood toy?
What was the most memorable vacation?
Have New Year's wishes ever come true?
What is the funniest thing that happened in your childhood and did you remember?
What funniest purchase have you ever had?
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 is the funniest prank you can remember?
Do you love your housemates and why?

The 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 pleases the majority of the guests.

Are you asking? I answer!

Let's prepare:

question cards,
answer cards,
2 boxes.

We play like this.

One box contains questions, the other contains answers.

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 neighbor on the table.

He takes, without peeping into the box, a sheet with the answer and also reads it out.

Very funny sometimes question-answer matches)))

Questions can be as follows (it is assumed that the company is close and everything is "on you":

Two truths and a lie

This fun competition at the table for an adult company requires no preparation. Best for a company where the members don't know each other very well.

Each player must say three statements or facts about himself. Two true, one false. The listeners vote to decide which one is false. If they guess right, the player (liar) wins nothing. If you have not guessed correctly, he receives a small prize.

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

One more?

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

Find a crocodile

This game can be carried out in the course of other games, as an additional one. It, in fact, lasts the whole evening, but at the very beginning you need to tell the guests its rules.

At some point in the party, the host secretly hands over a clothespin (crocodile) to one of the guests (the “hunter”) and he must attach it imperceptibly to the clothes of the “victim” of his random choice (or put it in a lady's purse or in a man’s jacket pocket). Then he gives a sign to the presenter that the task is completed.

As soon as the clothespin found a new owner, the host says “The crocodile has run away! To whom did he climb? " and counts down aloud from 10 to one. The guests are looking to see if they were the target of the draw.

If, within 10 seconds of the countdown, the “victim” finds a lurking “crocodile, hiding in a bag or clinging to the collar”, the “hunter” drinks a penalty glass. If he doesn’t find it, the “victim” should drink.

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

Drink alphabet chain

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

The game goes in a circle. The first player says the first and last name of the celebrity. The next one should 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 thinks about Cameron Diaz. Second Dmitry Kharatyan. Third Hugh Grant. The fourth is Georgy Vitsin. Etc.

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

The longer the game lasts, the more difficult it is to select new names (you cannot repeat yourself), the fun and the company are rapidly gaining degrees.

Insert your five cents

The organizer of the competition must prepare sheets of paper with phrases that are far from the theme of the feast or birthday. Give each of the guests a card with a phrase at the very beginning of the party.

Phrases can be like this:

The task of each participant is to insert "their" phrase in the conversation so that others do not understand that this is a phrase from a piece of paper. After the player has uttered his phrase, he needs to wait a minute, after which he says "Won !!!" During this time, any other guest who, during the conversation, suspects that the phrase from the sheet has been pronounced, may try to catch the player. He must repeat the phrase that he thinks was used. Of course, there is a chance that he will not guess right.

If the accuser is mistaken, then he drinks a "penalty glass". If guessed correctly, then a penalty is awarded to the one who was caught using the phrase from the piece of paper.

Guess the brand

If the name of the company is included in the slogan, then you can shorten it. For example: Who goes where, and I (to the Savings Bank). This slogan is 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 hints or multiple answers.

For example: Who goes where, and I ... (at VDNKh, to the Moscow seamstress, to marry, 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 will do, with some degree of convention, in other cases.

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

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".

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

The winners are those who find their soul mate by asking the minimum number of questions. The more pair cards you prepare, 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 members. We must try to ensure that each has the same number of women.

The presenter, starting with the words "Do you have ...?", Reads out the 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 their pockets and purses, those who find it show the item they are looking for, the team gets a point for each item they find. For one thing named, the team gets only one point (no matter how many five-thousandth bills the team members have, a team can get only one point for a point with a bill).

So, do you have with you ..?

banknote of 5000 rubles;
Notebook;
photo of the child;
mint chewing gum;
sweetie;
pencil;
a bunch of keys with at least 7 keys;
penknife;
7 (or 5) credit cards from one person;
a small change 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 freely supplemented.

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

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

Let this day be remembered by your friends not only with the most delicious dishes, but also with the funniest and coolest contests.

Eat! Drink! And don't be bored!
