Below is a selection of games for a group of people. The games are suitable for both work corporate events and just meetings with friends.
If you also have fun games in mind, then you are welcome to comment. I will definitely post these games in the post.
I would like to immediately thank Savina Yana for the selection of games.
Ring throw
Empty bottles and bottles of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are lined up close together on the floor. Participants are asked to place a ring on the bottle from a distance of 3 m. Whoever manages to put a ring on a full bottle takes it as a prize. The number of throws for one participant must be limited.
The ring is cut out of thin cardboard. Ring diameter - 10 cm.
In a plate
The game is played while eating. The driver names any letter. The goal of the other participants is to name the object that is currently on their plate with this letter before others. Whoever names the object first becomes the new driver. The driver who says the letter for which none of the players could come up with a word receives a prize.
It is necessary to prohibit the driver from always calling the winning letters (е, и, ъ, ь, ы).
Sweetie
Participants sit at a table. A driver is chosen from among them. Players pass candy to each other under the table. The driver's task is to catch one of the players passing the candy. The one who is caught becomes the new driver.
Crocodile
The players are divided into two teams. The first team chooses a concept and shows it in pantomime, without the help of words or sounds. The second team tries to guess what is being shown to them in three attempts. Then the teams change roles. The game is played for fun, but you can count points for solved pantomimes.
It is possible to guess: individual words, phrases from famous songs and poems, proverbs and sayings, idioms, fairy tales, names famous people. A concept can be shown by one or several people.
Comic test
This test can be carried out with the participation of everyone present. Participants are given pens and pieces of paper. On the sheets of paper they must write certain abbreviations in a column. Opposite each of them, participants are asked to write a line from a song or poem.
After everyone has completed the task, the meaning of incomprehensible abbreviations is announced and each participant can find out for himself and show his neighbors at the table the results at the specified moment (determined by a line from the song).
You can come up with any abbreviations, the main thing is that they correspond to the theme of the holiday. To prevent the entertainment from dragging on, three to five moments are enough.
For example, to celebrate the results of the past year, you can suggest the following names of moments and their abbreviations:
PDG (first day of the year),
PNG (first week of the year),
SG (mid-year),
NDOG (week before the end of the year),
IP (total profit),
LR (best employee), LMF (best manager of the company), PIG (end of year bonus). KTU (labor participation rate), etc.
What to do, if…
Participants are asked to consider difficult situations from which they need to find an original way out. The participant who, in the opinion of the audience, will give the most resourceful answer receives a prize point.
Example situations:
What to do if you lost your employees' salaries or public money in a casino?
What to do if you are accidentally locked in the office late at night?
What should you do if your dog ate an important report that you have to present to the director in the morning?
What to do if you are stuck in an elevator with the CEO of your company?
Accuracy
For accuracy competitions, it is best to use a factory-made Darts game.
A simpler option is to throw markers or felt-tip pens (with the cap open) from a distance of 3-5 at a target drawn on a sheet of paper attached to the wall. The most accurate participant receives a prize point.
The marker should be intended for drawing only on paper, then accidental traces of it can be easily washed off with alcohol.
Best toast
The facilitator informs the participants that, without a doubt, a real man must be able to drink properly. However, the goal of the competition is not to drink more than others, but to do it most gracefully.
After this, each participant receives a glass of drink. The competitors take turns making toasts and drinking the contents of the glass. The one who completes the task best receives a bonus point.
The best compliment
Since a real man must be gallant and be able to find an approach to a woman’s heart, in this competition participants compete in complimenting the fair sex.
The one whose compliment the women like more than others gets a bonus point.
We all have ears
The players stand in a circle. The presenter says: “Each of us has hands.” After this, each participant takes his neighbor on the right by left hand and with the words “Each of us has hands,” the players move in a circle until they make a full turn. After this, the leader says: “Everyone has a neck,” and the game is repeated, only now the participants hold their right neighbor by the neck. Next, the leader lists the various parts of the body, and the players move in a circle, holding the named part of their neighbor to the right and shouting or singing: “Everyone has...”
The listed body parts depend on the imagination of the presenter and the degree of looseness of the players. For example, you can list arms (separately right and left), waist, neck, shoulder, ears (separately right and left), elbows, hair, nose, chest.
Dancing on an ice floe
Each pair of participants is given a newspaper. They must dance so that neither partner steps on the floor outside the newspaper. At each signal from the leader, the newspaper is folded in half and the dance continues. Music changes all the time. If any of the partners leaves the newspaper during the dance, the couple is eliminated from the competition. The last couple remaining in the game receives a prize.
Auction “Pig in a poke”
During the break between dances, you can hold a silent auction. The presenter shows the participants the lots, wrapped in wrapping paper so that it is not clear what is inside. To provoke the audience, the presenter jokingly announces the appointment of this subject.
The auction uses real money, and the starting price of all lots is quite low. The participant who offers the highest price for the item buys it.
Before being given to the new owner, the item is unwrapped to satisfy the curiosity of the public. It is advisable to alternate funny and valuable lots to increase the excitement of the public.
Examples of lots and applications:
Without it, we will not be happy with any feast. (Salt)
Something sticky. (Lollipop candy or lollipop, packed in a large box)
Small that can become big. (Balloon)
Item required for business man. (Notebook)
An item for those who want to leave their mark. (Set of colored crayons)
Cold, green, long... (Bottle of champagne)
An integral attribute of civilized life. (Toilet paper roll)
Brief joy. (Box of chocolates)
A simulator for those who want to learn how to put on a good face when bad game. (Lemon)
A gift from Africa. (Pineapple or coconut)
Bombers
To play, you need two or three glass jars and metal money (it is advisable to prepare small change in advance, without hoping that the participants will find it themselves).
Those wishing to take part in the competition are divided into two or three teams. Each team receives glass jar and the same number of coins (at least three for each participant).
The presenter marks the starting line, at a distance of 5 meters from which he places the cans. The participants' task is to hold a coin between their thighs, walk to their jar and, without using their hands, place the coin into the jar. The team that throws the most coins into the jar wins a prize.
Ball under the chin
Two teams are selected and stand in two lines (alternating in each: man, woman) facing each other. The condition is that the players must hold the ball under their chin; during the pass, they must not touch the ball with their hands under any circumstances; however, they are allowed to touch each other in any way they want, just so as not to drop the ball.
Dress up the lady
Each lady holds a ribbon twisted into a ball in her right hand. The man takes the tip of the ribbon with his lips and, without touching his hands, wraps the ribbon around the lady. The winner is the one with the best outfit, or the one who completes the task faster.
Resourceful guests
Several couples are invited. Each participant in the game is blindfolded. Then several clothespins are attached to different areas of the clothing. At the leader’s signal, you need to remove all the clothespins from your partner. The couple that completes the task faster wins the competition.
Where to invest money?
The presenter calls two pairs (a man and a woman in each pair): “Now you will try to open a whole network of banks as quickly as possible, investing only one bill in each. Get your initial deposits! (Gives the couples candy wrappers). Pockets, lapels, and all secluded places can serve as banks for your deposits. Try to process your deposits as quickly as possible and open as many banks as possible. Get ready, let's start! The facilitator helps the pairs complete the task; after 1 minute, the facilitator sums up the results. Presenter: “How many bills do you have left? And you? Fabulous! All the money is invested in the business! Well done! Now I will ask the women to switch places and withdraw the entire amount from their accounts as quickly as possible. Open banks, withdraw money! Attention, let's start! (Music plays, women look for money from other people's partners).
feed me
The guests are divided into pairs. Each pair consists of a man and a woman. The task of each pair is to work together, without using their hands, to unwrap and eat the candy that the host will give. The first couple to do this wins.
Pass the card
Arrange the guests in a line “boy” - “girl” - “boy” - “girl”. Give the first player in line a regular playing card. The task is to pass the card from one player to another while holding it in the mouth. Don't use your hands. You can complicate the task, and after each transfer the presenter tears off a piece from the card. In this game, guests can be divided into teams and have a team competition.
Kisses
The host calls two men and two women into the game. It's up to you to decide how best to distribute pairs of players - by belonging to the same gender or the opposite. Then, blindfolding the two participants, the presenter asks them questions, pointing to the one he wants. “Tell me, where are we going to kiss? Here?". And he points, for example, to the cheek (you can use ears, lips, eyes, hands, etc.). The presenter asks questions until the blindfolded participant says “Yes.” Then the presenter asks: “How many times? So many?". And he shows on his fingers how many times, changing the combination each time, until the player says: “Yes.” Well, then, having untied the participant’s eyes, they force him to do what he agreed to - for example, kiss the man’s knee eight times.
The game is a joke
There will be no winners or losers in this game, this game is a joke to amuse the guests. Two participants are invited to it - a man and a woman. The rules of the game are explained to the man - “now the lady will sit on this sofa and take a sweet candy into her mouth, and your task is, blindfolded, to find this candy without using your hands and take it with your mouth too.” The whole comedy of the situation lies in the fact that as soon as the man is blindfolded, the man is placed on the sofa or couch instead of the promised lady. Believe me, no matter how long your chosen gentleman will try to find the candy from the “lady,” the guests will laugh heartily.
I love - I don’t love
The host asks all the guests sitting at the table to name what they like and what they don’t like about the neighbor on the right. For example: “I like my neighbor’s ear on the right and don’t like his shoulder.” After everyone calls it, the presenter asks everyone to kiss what they love and bite what they don’t like. A minute of wild laughter is guaranteed for you.
With my eyes closed
Wearing thick mittens, you need to determine by touch what kind of person is in front of you. Guys guess girls, girls guess guys. You can feel the whole person
Do not laugh
Players squat in a circle (woman-man-woman). Everyone is warned not to laugh (the presenter is allowed). The presenter “solemnly” takes his right neighbor (neighbor) by the ear. Everyone else in the circle must do the same. When the circle is closed, the leader takes the neighbor on the right by the cheek (nose, knee...), etc. Those who laugh leave the circle. The one remaining wins.
Cycle of matches
A group of MZHMZHMZHMZH forms into a circle, they take a match, cut off the tip with sulfur... The first person takes the match with his lips and passes it in a circle from person to person until the circle has passed. After this, the match is cut (about 3 mm) and the process is repeated... And so on until a piece of 1 mm in size remains.
Sweeties
It is desirable that an equal number of men and women participate, who sit in a circle according to the MZHMZh scheme... Take a baby doll / doll / toy / etc.. Each of the players says in turn: “I kiss this baby there,” and names the place, where to kiss him. You can't repeat yourself. When it gets to the point that someone can't name a new place to kiss, everyone takes turns fulfilling their last request with their neighbor(s). Drinking some alcohol before (during) the game is encouraged.
Colors
The players stand in a circle. The presenter commands: “Touch yellow, one, two, three!” Players try to grab the thing (object, part of the body) of the other participants in the circle as quickly as possible. Those who do not have time are eliminated from the game. The leader repeats the command again, but with a new color (object). The last one standing wins.
Pin
Reminiscent of game 5 (With clothespins), but a little more explicit... (for 4-8 people). Pins are taken (the number is arbitrary, usually approximately equal to the number of players), everyone except the presenter is blindfolded, then the presenter pins these pins on the participants (at random - they can all be on one person, they can be on different ones) - then, naturally, the participants try to find them on each other . Moreover, if a person knows that there is a pin on him (for example, he felt it being pinned on him), then he is obliged to remain silent (you cannot look for pins on yourself). Since pins are often hidden behind sleeve cuffs, on the backs of clothes, on socks from the soles, etc., the process of finding them is usually quite fun
Erotic train
Part of the company remains behind the door, from where they are called out one by one in the order “boy-girl”. Everyone who enters sees a picture: a column of people (“boy-girl”) stands, depicting a train. The presenter announces: “This is an erotic train. Train departs". The column starts moving and, depicting the movement of a train, makes a circle around the room. The presenter says: “Stop (such and such).” The train stops. After which the first car kisses the second, the second - the third, and so on until the end of the train. After which the newcomer is invited to take a place at the end of the train. Presenter: “The train is leaving!” They make a second circle around the room. Presenter: “Stop (such and such).” Then - as usual: the first car kisses the second, the second - the third. But, when it comes to the last one, suddenly the penultimate one, instead of kissing, makes a grimace and screams and rushes at the last one. Not expecting such disappointment, the last carriage can only hold a grudge against the newcomer.
Card
One playing card required. Easily replaced with a calendar or any cardboard of suitable size. Before starting the game, everyone is invited to learn how to hold the card in a vertical position with their lips by sucking in air. Let me explain in more detail. Make your lips a “tube”, as if you were kissing. Place the card on your lips, as if kissing its center. Now, drawing in air, release your hands, trying to hold the card so that it does not fall. After 3-5 minutes of exercise, almost anyone can hold the card for at least a couple of seconds. So, they sit in a circle in the order “boy-girl”. And thus, alternately holding the card on both sides, they pass it around. Particularly exciting is the random fall of a card :). You can play for speed, for time, for flight. The last option seemed the most preferable.
The odd one died
The game is built on the principle of the children's game “The odd one out.” 5-6 guests are invited to participate in the competition. Large glasses (or glasses) are placed on the table, one less than the number of participants. Vodka, cognac, wine (whatever you want) are poured into glasses. At the leader’s command (for example, clapping your hands), the participants begin to walk around the table. As soon as the presenter gives the conditioned signal (the same clap), the participants need to grab one of the glasses and immediately drink its contents. The one who doesn't have enough glasses is eliminated. After this, one glass is removed from the table, the rest are filled, and the game continues in the same way as described above. The main thing is that there is always one less glass than the number of players. The game ends when one of the two remaining participants drinks the last glass. In the absence of appetizers and sufficiently capacious glasses, the finale looks indescribable, since it is usually difficult to call it walking around the table.
Pencil
Teams in which men and women alternate (3-4 people) must pass from first to last a simple pencil, and it is passed clamped between the nose and upper lip of the players! Naturally, you cannot touch the pencil with your hands, but everything else can be touched with your hands. “A heartbreaking sight,” especially if people have already taken a certain amount of alcohol.
Zoo
Game for older children preschool age, but goes great at parties. 7-8 people participate, each chooses an animal and shows the others the characteristic movement of this animal. This is how “acquaintance” happens. After this, the host from the side chooses the player who starts the game. He must show “himself” and another “animal”, this “animal” shows himself and someone else, and so on until someone makes a mistake, i.e. will show another “animal” incorrectly or show an eliminated one. The one who makes a mistake is eliminated. The game ends when two remain."
Composition
The presenter gives everyone a blank sheet of paper and a pen (pencil, felt-tip pen, etc.). After this, the creation of essays begins. The presenter asks the first question: “Who?” The players write the answer to it on their sheets (the options may be different, depending on what comes to mind). Then they fold the sheet so that the inscription is not visible and pass the sheet to the neighbor on the right. The presenter asks a second question, for example: “Where?” The players again write the answer to it and again fold the sheet in the above manner, and again pass the sheet. This is repeated as many times as necessary until the presenter runs out of imagination for questions. The point of the game is that each player, answering the last question, does not see the results of previous answers. After finishing the questions, the sheets of paper are collected by the presenter, unfolded, and the resulting essays are read out. The results are very funny stories, with the most unexpected characters (from all kinds of animals to close acquaintances) and plot twists..
In bags around the tree
2 people compete. They get into bags and kick. The top of the bags is held with your hands. At a signal they run around the tree in different directions. The one who runs faster wins. The next pair continues the game.
Hockey
Santa Claus stands with his back to the Christmas tree. This is the gate. Participants, 2 - 3 people, take sticks and try to score a goal against Santa Claus.
Bring the snowball in a spoon
2 players participate. They are given a spoon with a cotton snowball in their mouth. At a signal, they scatter in different directions around the tree. The winner is the one who comes running first and does not drop the snowball from the spoon.
Who will collect the most snowballs?
They play in twos. Snowballs made of cotton wool are scattered on the floor. Participants are blindfolded and given a basket. At the signal, they begin to collect snowballs. The one who collects the most snowballs wins.
Felt boots
Large felt boots are placed in front of the Christmas tree. Two people are playing. At a signal, they run around the tree with different sides. The winner is the one who runs around the Christmas tree faster and puts on felt boots.
Give a snowman a nose
2 stands are placed in front of the tree, large sheets with images of snowmen are attached to them. Two or more people participate. They are blindfolded. At the signal, they must reach the snowmen and stick their nose (it can be a carrot). Others help with words: left, right, lower, higher...
Catch a snowball
Several couples participate. Participants stand facing each other at a distance of approximately 4 meters. One has an empty bucket, the other has a bag with a certain number of “snowballs” (tennis or rubber balls). At a signal, 1 participant throws snowballs, and a partner tries to catch them with a bucket. The first couple to finish the game and collect the most snowballs wins.
The most sensitive
Only women participate in the competition. The participants stand facing the audience. Behind each is a chair. The presenter quietly places a small object on each chair. On command, all participants sit down and try to determine what kind of object is under them. Looking at and using hands is prohibited. The first one to determine wins.
Thick-cheeked lip slap
Props: a bag of sucking candies (like “Barberries”). 2 people are nominated from the company. They begin to take turns taking candy from the bag (in the hands of the leader), putting it in their mouth (swallowing is not allowed), and after each candy they call their opponent “fat-cheeked lip slap”)) Who stuffs the most candy into their mouth and at the same time says “ magic phrase,” he will win. It must be said that the game takes place under the cheerful shouts and whoops of the spectators, and the sounds made by the participants in the game lead the audience to complete delight!
Participants with Christmas tree toys go out to the middle of the room (before this, you can hold a competition to make this toy from scrap material). Everyone is blindfolded and everyone is rotated several times around their axis. Everyone’s task is to go in the direction where, in his opinion, the tree is located and hang a toy on it. You can't fold it. If the participant chooses the wrong path, he is obliged to hang the toy on what he will “bury himself” in.
The winner is the one who hangs the toy on the Christmas tree and the one who finds the most original place for the toy (for example, the ear general director).
Frosty breath. A fairly large paper snowflake is placed on the table in front of each participant. The task is to blow off your snowflake so that it falls from the opposite edge of the table. This continues until everyone has blown off their snowflakes. After the last snowflake falls, announce: “The winner is not the one who blew away his snowflake first, but the one who was the last, because his breath is so frosty that his snowflake “frozen” to the table.”
Chief Accountant
On large sheet Whatman paper randomly depicts various banknotes. They need to be quickly counted, and counting should be done like this: one dollar, one ruble, one mark, two marks, two rubles, three marks, two dollars, etc. The one who counts correctly, without getting lost, and reaching the farthest bill, is the winner.
Storyteller
Guests are reminded of the plots of famous Russian fairy tales and are invited to compose and tell new versions - in the genre of detective story, romance novel, tragedy, etc. The winner will be determined by the guests through applause.
Two oxen
A long rope is put on the participants of the competition like a harness, and each of the two participants tries to “pull” the opponent along with them, in their own direction. At the same time, everyone tries to reach the prize, which is located half a meter from each player.
Horror
The conditions are as follows - there are five eggs in the cassette. One of them is raw, the presenter warns. And the rest are boiled. You need to break an egg on your forehead. Whoever comes across something raw is the bravest one. (But in general, the eggs are all boiled, and the prize is simply awarded to the last participant - he deliberately took the risk of becoming everyone's laughing stock.)
The most attentive
2-3 people play. The presenter reads the text: “I’ll tell you a story in one and a half dozen phrases. As soon as I say the number three, take the prize immediately. Once we caught a pike, gutted it, and inside we saw small fish, not just one, but seven.” “When you want to memorize poems, don’t cram them until late at night. Take it and repeat it once or twice at night, or better yet 10.” “A seasoned guy dreams of becoming an Olympic champion. Look, don’t be tricky at the start, but wait for the command: one, two, march!” “Once I had to wait for a train at the station for 3 hours...” (if they don’t have time to take the prize, the presenter takes it). “Well, friends, you didn’t take the prize when you had the opportunity to take it.”
Sea wolf
The game involves two teams of two people. The presenter gives the task: “If there is a strong wind at sea, the sailors know one trick - they tie the ribbons of the cap under the chin, thereby securing them tightly to the head. Capless cap - one per team.” Each player executes the command with one hand.
Diver
Players are encouraged to wear fins and look through binoculars with reverse side, follow the given route.
Pass the hat
All participants stand in two circles - internal and external. One player has a hat on his head, he needs to pass it around in his circle, there is only one condition - pass the hat from head to head without touching it with your hands. The team with the number one player back in the cap wins.
Break the pot
The pot is hung on a stake (you can put it on the ground or on the floor). The driver is blindfolded and given a stick. The task is to break the pot. To complicate the game, you can “confuse” the driver: before giving him the stick, circle him around several times.
Cheerful monkeys
The presenter says the words: “We are funny monkeys, we play too loud. We clap our hands, we stomp our feet, we puff out our cheeks, we jump on our toes and we even show our tongues to each other. Let's jump together to the ceiling, bring our finger to our temple. Let's stick out the ears and the tail on the top of the head. We'll open our mouths wider and make grimaces. When I say the number 3, everyone with grimaces - freeze.” The players repeat everything after the leader.
Baba Yaga
Relay game. A simple bucket is used as a stupa, and a mop is used as a broom. The participant stands with one foot in the bucket, the other remains on the ground. With one hand he holds the bucket by the handle, and in the other hand he holds a mop. In this position, you need to walk the entire distance and pass the mortar and broom to the next one.
Golden Key
Participants in the game will have to portray scammers from the fairy tale “The Golden Key”. Two pairs are called. One in each pair is the fox Alice, the other is the cat Basilio. The one who is the Fox bends one leg at the knee and, holding it with his hand, together with the Cat, who is blindfolded, hugging each other, overcome the given distance. The first couple to “stumble” receives a “golden key” - a prize.
Banks
Participants in the game are invited to look from a distance at a set of cans of various sizes and shapes. You cannot pick them up. Each player has a piece of cardboard from which they must cut out the lids so that they exactly match the holes of the cans. The winner is the one with the most lids that exactly match the openings of the cans.
Jelly
For this competition, prepare some delicate dish - for example, jelly. The participants' task is to eat it as quickly as possible using matches or toothpicks.
Harvesting
The task of the players of each team is to move the oranges to a certain place as quickly as possible without using their hands.
Discoverer
First, the competition participants are asked to “discover” a new planet - inflate it as quickly as possible Balloons, and then “populate” this planet with inhabitants: quickly draw little figures of men on the ball with felt-tip pens. Whoever has more “inhabitants” on the planet is the winner!
Cooks
One participant from each team. We need people who cook well. For a certain time, you need to create a holiday menu, the names of the dishes in which begin with the letter “N”. Then one participant from the team will come to the table and take turns announcing their list. Those who say the word last will win.
Make your neighbor laugh
The leader is randomly selected. His task is to perform an action with the neighbor on the right so that one of those present laughs. For example, the leader takes his neighbor by the nose. Everyone else in the circle must do the same. When the circle is closed, the leader again takes the neighbor, this time by the ear, knee, etc. Those who laugh leave the circle. The winner is the last participant standing.
Broken phone
A simple but very fun game, known since childhood. One of the guests quickly and vaguely whispers a word to the neighbor on the right. He, in turn, whispers what he heard to his neighbor in the same manner - and so on in a circle. The last participant stands up and loudly pronounces the word given to him, and the one who started the game says his own. Sometimes the result exceeds all expectations. A variant of this game is “Associations”, i.e. the neighbor does not repeat the word, but conveys the association with it, for example: winter - snow.
Table obstacle course
To play, you will need cocktail straws and tennis balls (if you don’t have it, you can crumple up napkins) according to the number of participants in the race.
Preparation: courses are prepared on the table according to the number of participants, that is, glasses and bottles are placed in a row at a distance of 30-50 cm from each other. Players with a straw in their mouth and a ball are ready to start. At the leader’s signal, the participants must, blowing through a tube onto the ball, lead it along the entire distance, bending around oncoming objects. The first player to reach the finish line wins. The task can be complicated by inviting guests to blow on the ball with an enema or syringe.
The main thing is that the suit fits
To play you will need a large box or bag (opaque) in which various items of clothing are placed: size 56 panties, caps, size 10 bras, glasses with a nose, etc. funny things.
The presenter invites those present to update their wardrobe by taking something out of the box, with the condition not to take it off for the next half hour.
At the presenter’s signal, the guests pass the box to the music. As soon as the music stops, the player holding the box opens it and, without looking, takes out the first thing he comes across and puts it on himself. The view is amazing!
And in my pants...
Before the game, blanks are made (clippings of newspaper headlines, and the topics of the headlines can be very diverse. For example: “Down and Feather”, “Competition Winner”, etc.).
The clippings are placed in an envelope and run in a circle. Whoever accepts the envelope says loudly: “And in my pants...”, then takes a clipping from the envelope and reads it out. The resulting answers are sometimes very funny. The wittier the clippings, the more fun game.
Share your options for holding competitions in the comments.
Corporate parties have long become an integral part of the joint recreation of colleagues. And since all companies have different staff and budgets, they celebrate holidays differently. But no matter what the celebration, just sitting at the table and listening to music is not the most fun thing to do. It is much better to prepare competitions that will entertain everyone present.
There's a place for everything
If you are planning a holiday in a large corporation that allocates significant funds for the celebration, then it may be worth ordering the event from a special agency in order to really hold it. But more often than not, employees have to come up with entertainment on their own. What should be taken into account?
- How many men and women are there in the team? If almost all employees are of the same gender, then it is better to do without paired competitions.
- What is the situation in the company, how closely do colleagues communicate? For a large team, where some do not even know each other’s names, it is worth preferring neutral games, one might say, “strictly business” ones.
- Average age employees. For those under 30-35 years old, entertainment of a more free nature is suitable. But if most employees are already over 50, it is better to choose competitions carefully, focusing on classic options.
In any case, you should not stoop to shallow jokes or include in the program such entertainment that someone will feel embarrassed to take part in.
Everything in pairs
Pair competitions are very popular because they are appropriate both in a large team and where there are very few people. The most important thing is that there should be approximately equal numbers of men and women among the employees. Participants are divided into teams of 2 people - a man and a woman. Competitions are held between teams:
- "Barber". At the leader’s command, the women begin to style the man’s hair: tying ponytails with small elastic bands. The one who does it wins greatest number beams in the allotted time. She is given a mirror, a comb or a set of hair ties.
- "Synchronous". In this competition you need to work together, this is the only way something can work out. The essence of the competition: team members hug each other with one hand, and the other is free (each has only one). They must inflate and tie the balloon. The first one to cope with this wins. It is better to choose something neutral as a prize, for example a box of chocolates.
- "Stickers and Peels." This competition will be most appropriate for a young team. The presenter places stickers on each woman (you can use stationery stickers or ordinary children’s stickers) in the same places: on the face, on the hands, on clothes. Men must remove all stickers within the allotted time without using their hands or mouth. The one who removes the most stickers wins. Prize: stationery.
By participating in such competitions, you can become much closer with your colleagues, but at the same time not go beyond the bounds of decency.
Based on popular shows
You can see ideas for competitions for a party with colleagues on TV. Today there are many shows where both teams and individual participants compete. Most popular games:
- “Guess the melody” - you need to prepare for such a competition in advance by recording a soundtrack of popular songs.
- "What? Where? When?" – a game for intellectuals, where the whole team can participate, divided into teams; such entertainment sometimes becomes traditional if you come up with a challenge cup that will be played at every corporate event.
- “Crocodile” is a game that probably has the largest number of fans, because it is interesting both to those who play it and to those who watch it.
You can guess not only words for a while, the competition also includes:
- titles of films and books;
- phrases from songs;
- lines from famous poems;
- Proverbs and sayings;
- names of famous people, etc.
Such entertainment is good because it is suitable for people of any gender, age and social status. As a prize, it is best to give the winner a cup with the inscription “the most musical” or “the most erudite.”
Outdoors
Celebrating some holidays with colleagues on the road doesn’t happen very often, so you need to do everything to make the day memorable for everyone. The simplest, but by no means the most boring, is to organize a relay race:
- participants are divided into two or more teams;
- For each team there is an obstacle course made of plastic bottles, which must be run around in a zigzag;
- at the end of the strip, a stick is stuck into the ground and a bottle of drink is placed, a stack plastic cups and a plate with a snack (for example, cheese or sausage);
- at the command of the leader, the first team members, running around the bottles, get to the glasses, take one and pour a drink into it;
- then, holding onto the stuck stick, they make 5-7 turns around it, run back and pass the baton;
- the next participants follow the same path, only they no longer pour, but drink what is poured;
- third participants do the same thing, but at the end of the journey they have a snack.
The difficulty of the competition is that after several turns around the stick, not everyone is able to run in a zigzag. The relay race can be made more difficult by extending the obstacle course. Of course best time for such competitions – summer. It is best to make the prize for a relay race something related to sports: a ball, dumbbells, ping-pong rackets, an arm trainer, etc.
Every joke...
If colleagues have known each other well for a long time, games at a joint party can be even more piquant. However, few people like jokes “below the belt”. Among the competitions for a close company, the most popular are:
- "Guess the object." Various small items are placed in a large bag: children's toys, stationery, etc. The most important thing is that they should be strong and bulky (pencils and pens will not work, but you can take a metal hole punch). Several participants must guess the object by sitting on it. Chairs for this game should be chosen with a hard seat. The toy can also become a gift.
- "Friendly cartoon." Participants are given sheets of paper on which they must draw a portrait of one of the employees (those present) within the allotted time. The remaining team members must guess who it is. The one whose drawing is the most realistic wins. Prize - brushes, paints, markers, album, etc.
- "Attention to detail". One of those present goes out the door, but before that he is warned that the colleagues remaining in the room will now change something in their appearance. Then the person who came out is called back, and he begins to guess what has changed. But the point is that nothing has really changed. The team decides how long to torment their colleague, but if he guessed for himself that there are no changes, then he is considered the winner, and he is awarded the title of the most attentive and awarded the corresponding diploma or cup.
Such events are appropriate only where employees are more friends than colleagues. After all, all people are different, some may be so offended that it will be awkward to work with them later.
Corporate party- This is not only a way to unite the team, but also a fun pastime. In order for it to be such, you need to try. Games at a corporate party will lift the spirits of everyone present and brighten up any evening. Which ones are the most popular? Cool games at corporate events they are usually organized in the form of competitions in which several team members, and sometimes entire teams, participate.

Let's take a closer look at these games and competitions:
- “Don’t take pictures all evening!”
- "Remember all".
- "Accuracy".
- "Deaf telephone" and others.
“Don’t take pictures all evening!”
Surely every man in the team will come to the corporate event in a formal suit, and women will wear dresses for the occasion. Such outfits seem too strict, they are not quite suitable for fun, but dark colors The costumes are not at all pleasing to the eye. This competition will help you add excitement to your business image. It is best suited for men. Women in this case will act as spectators.
Big cardboard box the most unusual and bright elements wardrobe: hats, glasses, carnival masks, clown noses, skirts and much more.

"Remember all"
On sheets of paper you need to write one word each and form two teams of players. Each team chooses a piece of paper with a task word. They need to remember and sing a song containing this word. The team that sings the most songs wins. Unity in this competition is not the least important.
"Accuracy"
Games at corporate parties, funny and cheerful, usually have ambiguous connotations. Participants are divided into pairs: a man and a woman. The woman’s task is to firmly hold an empty bottle without a cap between her legs. A nail is attached to the man's trousers, which must be used to get into the neck of the bottle. This will not be easy to do. Under the laughter of colleagues and cheerful music, someone will have to become a winner.
"Deaf Phone"
We all played “Deaf Telephone” as children. Do you remember how fun it was? Why not borrow corporate party games from your childhood? It is best to choose words for participants that are complex and close to the profession. Participants can be confused by words that sound like obscene expressions. The longer the “deaf phone” chain, the more unexpected the last player’s answer will be.
"Zodiac sign"
Perhaps it is thanks to the corporate party that colleagues will open their eyes to many qualities of each other that were not known until now. Games at corporate parties, funny in nature, become even more fun if the participants have artistic talent. The essence of the game is that each person must depict his or her zodiac sign without words; you can only use gestures and facial expressions. The rest will have to guess. It is best to play the game in a cheerful group.
"Musical chairs"
Competitions and games for corporate parties do not have to be new; we should not forget about those that have become a tradition. No party is complete without musical chairs. The rules are simple and have long been known to everyone. The number of chairs is one less than the number of players. To the music, the participants move and dance around the chairs, and as soon as it turns off, everyone must take their place on one of them. The loser does not have enough chair, the game continues for elimination. The chairs are removed with each loser. There will be one winner.
Dance
Games at a corporate party in a team should lift your spirits and create a special atmosphere. Any number of people willing are invited to participate in the competition.

"What? Where? When?"
Another game familiar to everyone can become a “feature” of your corporate evening. Everyone knows the rules of the game. There should be two or more teams, but the tasks must be thought out in advance. It would be a good idea to link them to the theme of the evening or to the specialization of your company.
"Voice"
Team cohesion can become the object of careful testing with the help of games at a corporate party. Every day, spending everyday life with the same people, we remember them not only by their appearance, but also by their voice, and sometimes we recognize them by the sound of their steps. The “Voice” game involves testing your memory for the voices of your colleagues.
One participant is selected and turned with his back to the table. Each colleague speaks one phrase, changing his voice. The player, relying on memory and intuition, must determine who exactly the voice belongs to and voice the name of this person. This way you can not only have fun, but also test the degree of cohesion among employees.
"Not looking"
To play at a corporate party, a volunteer is selected and blindfolded. Without looking, by touch, he must recognize his colleagues and say their names. To confuse the participant, you can take off your tie, wear a push-up bra over your shirt, try on a wig, and so on. You may hear many unexpected answers to the question, which will undoubtedly be fun.
"Colleague"
Pieces of paper are placed into the container, on which the names of the employees and their position are written. Any number of people can participate. Players take turns taking out a piece of paper. Each of them must show by gestures, habits and facial expressions whose name he got. The task of everyone else is to guess the position held and name their colleague.
"Let's shake hands"
Games at a corporate party for getting to know each other are usually held at the very beginning of the feast. Shaking each other's hands at the first meeting has been a tradition for a long time, and everyone knows about it. The entire team needs to be divided into two teams. A competitive spirit will help you make acquaintances quickly. To the music, people sitting at the table will have to shake hands in a chain. The team finishing first will be considered the winner.
"Snowball"
Games at a corporate party in a team, held for getting to know each other, can also develop the memory of the participants. Employees sit in a large circle. One of them says his name. The next one is the name of the previous one and your own. So, from the starting player, everyone must say the names of all the previous people and then their own. The most difficult task, of course, will go to the person who will have to name all the names.
Mobile competitions for corporate events
Movement is life. Moving competitions will make you move a little. You can arrange a relay race among the participants. The tasks should not be too difficult. Teams of 5-6 people will have to strive not only to win and complete their tasks, but also to be a spectacle for observers.
"Director's name"
One letter is written on A4 sheets, and these sheets are compiled into a word. Or rather, in the name of the director of the enterprise. Teams must unravel the word encrypted on the sheets and quickly line up in in the right order so that the name is readable.
"Important Paper"
Participants of two teams must form two circles. Their hands are located behind their backs, and in the mouth of one of their colleagues there is an “important” paper. You need to pass it only with your mouth, holding the edge of the sheet. The team that does this faster will be the winner. It is important that the paper goes around a full circle and does not fall.
Competitions and games for corporate parties are the basis of a successful evening. Determine your own goals for the event in order to choose the right program for your pastime. Remember that each goal is achieved in its own way, but the shortest is good mood and a positive approach. In any case, games and competitions are an important component of the so-called team building. They can be arranged not only at corporate events, but also during breaks in the work process.

Then they fold the sheet so that the inscription is not visible and pass the sheet to the neighbor on the right.
