A cheerful company gathered together in nature ... What was the reason for the meeting? Birthday, anniversary, alumni meeting, festive corporate party or just a friendly picnic with friends - in any case, this event should not be boring and ordinary. Taking care of a treat that will be especially appetizing on fresh air, the organizer should not forget about entertainment for guests.
Companies are different: both reckless youth and respectable colleagues, but any team will not refuse to have fun by participating in competitions or at least watching them. The main thing is to choose and organize these competitions correctly!
We bring to your attention a large selection of various games and entertainment for outdoor activities among adults. Among them there are mobile, and more calm, and requiring work with the head, as well as harmless practical jokes. Choose those that are more suitable for your guests, you can combine several diverse ones. A festive mood is guaranteed to you long before the start of the meeting: while you are planning and preparing the props, you will involuntarily begin to tune in to a cheerful mood, and at the end of the holiday, the smiling faces of your friends in the photographs will remind you of your talent as an organizer.
Of course, for the winners you need to prepare memorable prizes and souvenirs.
And now - contests for every taste!
Various relay races
One of the most common mobile contests. Outdoors, there are even more opportunities for them. Relay races can be easily adapted to any "story", if the party is themed, for example, pirate, beach, etc.
You can run in turn for anything and with any tasks and obstacles. Here are a few interesting options, which differ from the standard type of running in bags or with the ball between the knees.
"Poured, drank, ate."
On the table for each team there is a glass, a full bottle and a sliced lemon. Participants are divided into teams of 3 people, the first one should, having reached the table, pour a glass, the second one should drink, and the third one should have a bite of lemon. The glass does not have to be hot!
"Lastotrass".
The distance must be covered with fins, looking through the binoculars, turned reverse side. The passage of the track will bring a lot of pleasure to the audience!
"Eyes".
For each team, a circle with a diameter of about 50 cm is drawn. The participants are blindfolded in turn, and they stand in the center of the circle. Task: take 8 steps out of the circle and return back. The team counts steps aloud. The next participant can start the task only if the previous one managed to return to the circle, and not miss or stop at the border - in this case, you will have to repeat! The team with the best eye, whose members completed the task faster than others, wins.
"Ouroboros".
If anyone does not know, this is a snake biting its own tail. Participants become a "train" by holding each other by the waist or putting their hand on the shoulder of the person in front. The first participant (the head of the snake) should try to catch the "tail" - the last participant. It's more fun to play with more people.
"Transmitters"
This is a kind of relay race in which you need to pass one object to another in various unusual ways. It is important not only that the object reaches the last participant faster, but also that the condition is correctly observed and the object does not fall.
Different options for what and how can be transmitted:
- ball under the chin;
- a stick, holding it with your feet;
- a book in the armpits;
- a button on the index finger;
- holding an egg with your backs or foreheads, lower it to the floor without breaking it (it is better to play on the sand).
Another interesting “transfer” with the host is the “Delicious Bagel” game. Players stand in a circle, the leader is in the middle. In the hands of the players, hidden behind their backs, is a bagel, which they pass around in a circle, and seizing a convenient moment, bite off a piece of it. The presenter must guess in whose hands the bagel is in, or catch the offender “on the hot” - while biting off.
If he did not succeed before the bagel was eaten, a forfeit is due from him! Instead of a bagel, you can take a cucumber.
Team games
You can divide the participants into groups according to various criteria: for example, the captains alternately choose their team members, or the boys against the girls. Here the winner will be not one person, but the whole team, so the prize for the victory should be either intended for each participant, or be symbolic, for example, a diploma, pennant, ribbons, wreaths of winners, etc.
You can, of course, play any sports game - beach volleyball, football, mini-golf, etc. But no less interesting can be comic contests, competitions, and not only sports!
"Wet serve".
Teams are separated from each other by a line (if available, you can use a volleyball or tennis net). In advance, you need to prepare balloons in which a little water is poured (an odd number, preferably 5-7). The balls are thrown into the game one by one.
Players must throw them to the opponent's side, trying to make the service become "wet" not in their half. The game lasts until the last ball, and then the number of puddles is counted. You can play on the beach or just in hot weather. A fun squeal is guaranteed in the girls' team!
"Ninos".
It is more effective if this game is played by young people against girls. The guys will be "rhinos": a "horn" is attached to their forehead - a piece of adhesive plaster pierced with a pushpin. And the girls need to be tied around the waist balloon so that it is located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe most piquant place.
The task is clear: the “rhinos” must pierce the balls, it is impossible to catch the girls with your hands. You can limit the place of the game and the time it lasts (for example, by playing music).
"Sharks of business".
A “poverty line” is drawn or marked with ropes on the ground - two lines at a distance of about 2-2.5 m. “Sharks” will swim in this “river of business”: at first there are only two people in their team, they must hold hands. The task of the rest of the participants is to overcome the “poverty line”. But while they are between the lines, the “sharks” can catch them, and then the participant will join them, extending the “sharks” chain.
"Telepaths".
Each team has 5 people. At the expense of "one, two, three" they must, without agreeing, raise any number of fingers on one hand. And then the rule comes into play: you need to throw out fingers until each team has either the same number of fingers, or different number each player, that is, from 1 to 5. We remind you that you can’t collude out loud! The team that manages to do it first wins.
The competition is able to unite the company and teach to understand each other without words. Another variation of this game is to line up in a certain position in 10 seconds (the presenter counts loudly): by height, by hair color from light to dark, build a triangle, “eight”, “circle inside a circle” ...
"Table".
Each team of 3-5 people led by the captain is given a melon and a knife. The task of each team is to cope with the treat as quickly as possible. The rules are as follows: the captain cuts and distributes, and he himself has the right to eat only the last slice. Instead of a melon, there can be a watermelon, a large apple, a pie.
Conductor at karaoke. You need a leader and two teams. Each team chooses a song that they know well. The host will conduct: thumbs up - singing aloud, down - to himself. The teams begin to sing at the same time, and the leader gives them signals when to sing silently, and when to turn on the voice again. Sometimes it may not happen at the same time. The downed player is out. In the end, the last "singer", the most attentive, will receive the main prize.
Pair games
Of course, only two will not necessarily participate in the game. It means that competitions are based on the interaction or opposition of two participants. But who will be these two - it will become clear during the game!
"Halves".
Couples participate - a guy and a girl. They cling with their elbows, and with their free hands (one of them has the left, the other has the right), they must perform some action, for example, put on mittens, tear the newspaper into small pieces, unwrap 2 candies and treat each other!
"Who is in front of me?"
The host is in the center of the circle of guests, he is blindfolded. The circle begins to move around the leader until he says "stop". Now he needs to approach the person who is opposite and try to find out who is in front of him. You can not introduce any restrictions, this is already a rather difficult task.
But if the company is close, it will be fun to identify a friend or girlfriend ... by smell, not using touch, or just by the hand. If the guess is correct, the recognized takes the place of the driver. If after 2 versions the friend is not identified, the circle rotates again.
The host sits on the rug in the middle of the circle, and in the circle there are guys and girls mixed up. Everyone, except the leader, is wearing a hat. Each girl tells one of the guys a color in the ear, and he tells her the name of the flower. The host announces, for example: “White rose!” If these words are not assigned to anyone, nothing happens, and the leader tries again. If there is only a "White" guy or a "Rose" girl, then they should put a hat on the leader and take his place. But if both are available, then they should try to put their hat on the leader, and if it doesn’t work out, then on the partner.
Who remains in his hat or no hat at all - leads. Spat…
"Duel".
Young people are always happy to fight for the glory of beautiful ladies. The duel will take place on the grass, on the sand or in a shallow pool. For the belt of swimming trunks or trousers of each participant, a long flap of fabric is plugged in the back, each participant has his own color. The rules are simple: you need to be the first to snatch the opponent's flap, not allowing him to snatch his own, and victoriously throw the "pennant" up, to the delight of the fans.
"Bottle Towns".
Teams of men participate in this competition, and the girls will have to be laughing spectators. First you need to build figures for knocking down from wooden blocks, boxes or empty plastic bottles and give them intriguing names. Each team must have the same number of figures (one for each participant).
Then an empty bottle is tied to the back of the participants by the belt of their trousers. The length of the rope is about 50 cm, hanging down, the bottle should not reach the ground. And now you need, swinging the bottle, knock down all the figures without using your hands.
Water games
Very often, companies gather on the beach, by the river or near the pool, combining relaxation with swimming. Many games can be played with the expectation that immediately after them it would be nice to take a dip!
"Shell Princess".
This game must be played on the sand. Together, rake up a large sandy mountain, on top of which lay a large shell or pebble. Then all the participants, sitting around the mountain, begin to slowly rake up the sand in their direction, until the “princess-shell” slides right into the hands of ... the loser.
"Minefield".
One of the participants lies down on the sand, and around him the other players put a pebble. Condition: pebbles should not touch the lying one. He must rise to his feet without hitting a single "mines". Of course, friendly advice is allowed!
"T-shirt for memory".
This is not a competition, but rather just fun entertainment. You will need spray paints in spray cans and white T-shirts - 1 for each participant. Paint a T-shirt, as fantasy tells, give it to one of the guests (and another participant will give it to you), put it on - and run to take pictures. And from the holiday, a wonderful souvenir will remain as a keepsake!
"Aquagrim".
You can use ordinary gouache. Swimsuit-wearing guests pair up for a "simultaneous body art session". After that - a fashion show of each participant, a photo session and an immediate bath!
For an intellectual company. Not sport alone lively fun
Some people prefer not reckless fun, but games that force you to be smart, logical thinking, quickness of mind, and also with pleasure to develop these qualities in joint games. Well, we have something to offer smart and smart girls!
"Keyboard".
Everyone is standing in a circle. Each is a letter on the keyboard (any, in order). Clap your hands - press the letter. All together clap twice - space. Punctuation marks are not printed. The leader, standing in a circle (he will monitor the correctness), comes up with a phrase for printing (proverb, line from a song, etc.). He commands who will start printing (“From Lena clockwise - they started!”).
If someone clapped out of tune, the presenter asks again “What word are you typing?”, Giving you the opportunity to correct yourself. If the "seal" is lost, it will start again, but without the confused player. The phrase will be able to finish the most attentive (sometimes there are only two of them) ...
"We throw balls and words."
Everyone stands in a circle, passing a ball or other object to each other. When giving the ball, everyone says any noun, and the taker must answer with the appropriate adjective or verb. For example, "Butterfly" - "Bright!" or "Flies!" Giving the ball further, you need to say a new word. Seems easy, doesn't it?
But the leader, standing in a circle, gradually increases the number of balls! So you have to work both with your hands (passing the balls) and your head (inventing words) at the same time, and do it quickly! An excellent training of thinking, besides, very cheerful and reckless.
"What's on the back?"
One participant draws the contours of some simple object (a house, an apple, a fish, etc.) on the back with another finger. Depending on what he felt, the participant tries to show this object to other guests without using words, and they must guess what was depicted on the back.
"Gwalt - encryption."
One of the participants steps aside, while the others take out a card from the envelope, each of which contains one of the words that make up a well-known proverb or a line from a song. Then the participant falls into a circle, where everyone begins to repeat only his word at the same time. In this hubbub, you need to try to make out all the words and put them into the desired line.
Prank games
Most often, the goal of these games is not victory, but the cheerful mood of spectators and participants. The only pity is that they cannot be repeated twice in the same company!
"Ropes".
Longer ropes are thrown over the bush, to the ends of which boxes with prizes are tied (it seems so at first glance). The host announces to the audience that they need to wind their rope around a stick as quickly as possible and get a prize.
The catch is that the guests will wind each other's ropes, only from different ends. And the prizes are tied with completely different ropes, the ends of which are securely hidden.
"Labyrinth".
Several obstacles are installed on the track - a stool, a bowl of water, a rope is pulled. The participant is asked to go through the maze - first, to train and memorize the route, with their eyes open, then they are blindfolded.
Everything is quickly removed from the track, and the participant, under the advice of laughing spectators, overcomes non-existent obstacles.
"Sandpaper".
Men are given a stick, the ends of which are covered with red paint for a length of 5 cm, and a piece sandpaper. The task is to clean the stick of paint as quickly as possible. The game is especially popular after 5 shots.
"Strong breath".
A tennis ball is placed on a stool. Two are called to participate. The host asks them to simultaneously blow on the balloon from different directions. In whose direction he rolls, he lost - the breath must be strong.
After the participants have tried this a couple of times, the facilitator complicates the task by blindfolding the blowers. While they are taking in more air, the tennis ball is quickly replaced by... for example, a plate of flour!
More fun contests for everyone
These are competitive games that do not require division into teams: everyone can participate at the same time. In such games, there may well be a winner who deserves the main prize. The rest are just having fun!
"Sweet Nothing".
You need to take turns saying a kind word to your neighbor. Whoever could not pick up an option that has not yet been heard in 5 seconds is out. The most affectionate - a prize and a kiss to the loser!
"Prize ball".
In advance, you need to inflate a lot of balloons, hide a piece of paper with the word "prize" in one of them. The rest can be empty or filled with water, confetti, etc. Hang balloons all over the site. Guests will pierce them until the prize paper is found.
"Into the piggy bank!"
Each player is given a jar - piggy bank, you can stick identification stickers on them. On the grass, stumps, the path, several handfuls of little things are scattered. Participants must collect it with bare feet and take it to their “piggy bank” - also, of course, without the help of hands. Who will be "richer"? Shows the end of the game.
Permanent hits
Simple and well-known games, loved by many companies, allowing the holiday to always go with a bang. Although they are not original, many conservatives prefer them to new notions. We will only remind you of some of them.
"A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it."
This game is always popular not only at adult holidays. It can be safely included in the program of games under open sky for kids.
Each participant receives a role (pulls it out by lot) and some element of props. Then the facilitator begins to read the text of the tale, and everyone plays the role to the best of their imagination. Texts can be invented by yourself or found on the Internet, the main thing is that the words-names of roles in the fairy tale occur as often as possible.
It is especially interesting when there are many participants, and the distribution of roles is non-standard. Let them be received not only by the prince and princess, but also by the "horse" on which the prince rode, or the "balcony" on which the princess dreamed.
"Crocodile".
To show a certain word, song, movie without using speech ... What could be more exciting? It is better to play in teams so that one comes up with a riddle for a player from the other team, and he plays pantomime in front of his “friends”. You can prepare riddles in advance by writing them on cards, and pull them out at random.
Fant can be taken for losing in any previous contest or just take one thing from the players. Often, a hyped bottle is used to determine who to do the task. Well, the tasks themselves are in abundance on the Internet.
You can purchase ready-made Fanta for Adults sets on various topics, including frivolous ones, for every taste!
Mafia is a game of all time, suitable for both indoors and for a picnic.
You can come up with a lot of interesting things when going to an open-air meeting. As you can see, it is not at all necessary to turn it into an ordinary barbecue. Let it be fun and extraordinary.
To capture the most interesting moments, take care of the photographs. It is best to invite a photographer - after all, any guest, even if he is a maestro of the camera, will also want to participate in competitions. Choose, organize and have fun to the fullest!
When adults go out into nature, to the forest or to barbecues for just a few hours, they want to leave all their seriousness for this time and arrange games in nature for cheerful company adults.
Of course, outdoor games require some training, fresh ideas, but you can limit yourself to the usual set:
- playing cards;
- fun with the ball;
- famous game "crocodile".
But vacationers will like fun, perky games for fresh air that will captivate everyone present at the picnic much more.
Web
For this competition, you will need a rope that you need to randomly pull between the trees to form a semblance of a web. After that, the participants must quickly get through the "web" without touching it.
Silent system
The host must line up the participants in a row and explain to them the rules of the game. So, the leader, passing behind the formation, each participant will clap his hand on the back a different number of times (which is his serial number). Then, at the signal, the participants must silently, without uttering a sound, line up in the indicated order. The joke is that the host can assign the same numbers to two participants, and skip some. This is where the row confusion comes in. It is useful to shoot such games in nature for a fun company, because later it will be funny for the participants themselves to look at themselves from the side: winking, inarticulately mooing, pushing each other. Fun entertainment!
Boar hunting
With great success, you can add this game to outdoor games for a company of adults, in which you first need to recruit two teams of hunters and a “boar victim”. Hunter weapons can be stickers, and each team has its own color. They need to be glued to the target - a cardboard circle lined with circles, tied to the “boar” just below the back. The fleeing "boar" must dodge, and the goal of the hunters is to hit as accurately as possible. After the agreed time has passed, the game stops and the winning team is determined, which hit the target more often. She gets the prize or she comes up with a punishment for the losing team. This and other fun competitions in nature will amuse any company, turning an outing into nature into a great vacation.
Swamp
In this game, each participant, in addition to Have a good mood, you will need a piece of cardboard or paper. Nearby, it is necessary to protect the territory of a conditional “swamp” with branches and other improvised materials, which the participants must overcome. But they cannot go straight through the swamp, but only over bumps, which are pieces of cardboard. The game is quite simple, but requires a certain dexterity, and stumbled and "drowning" participants will cause everyone to laugh.
sardines
This is the name of the game, which is the classic game of hide and seek turned inside out. If in the latter one driver is looking for all the other hidden participants, then in the “sardines” everyone is looking for one. Moreover, the one who found the hidden person joins him, and this continues until the last participant has to look for everyone else. Of course, the hiding place must be large enough to accommodate all the players hiding in it.
Gift Hunters
At a barbecue picnic by the lake, this game is perfect. Its participants need to be divided into several teams, which will be united by the goal to find hidden treasures faster than others:
- beverages;
- fruit;
- snacks.
A dozen notes are made, each of which indicates where to look for the next one. In this case, part of the notes must be hidden, and the other can be placed in exchange office. To get it there, you have to complete a pre-designed task, which can be very unusual and fun. From this fun, you can make an interesting corporate game in nature that can rally a new team.
Tear off your hat
Anyone who is looking for games for outdoor activities can play this simple but fun game in any outdoor area or park. The participants in the game must form a circle, in the center of which they launch two players who have:
- one hand is tied to the body;
- a hat is put on the head.
In the game, everyone seeks to remove the hat from the opponent's head and not allow their own to be stolen. Noise and fun for 20 minutes are provided.
Bring the egg
This funny game good for a picnic and will require the formation of two teams of participants. A member of each team must bring to a real or conditional pan a raw egg, which lies in a spoon sandwiched between the teeth, and pass it to the cook. Of course, the egg cannot be taken in hand.
Video about outdoor games for a company of adults
Hat
Participants are divided into pairs or teams, they are given an arbitrary number of pieces of paper on which they write phrases or individual words. The papers are folded and folded into a hat. The first team is determined by lot. One participant must guess, and the other must guess the word. In a minute, you need to explain to your team as many words from the pieces of paper as possible, without naming them directly or using the same root words. The game continues until the end of all pieces of paper with riddles. Then the results are calculated, the team that guessed the most words wins.
ball games
Comic football variant
Outdoor outdoor games for teenagers can be interesting not only for classic football, but also for its parody form. For example, you need to divide the participants into two teams, outline the gates, because goals will have to be scored here too. Then the players of each team are first divided into pairs and the right leg of one player is tied to the left of the other. And now the players, hobbled in this way, are trying to take possession of the ball, bring it to someone else's goal and score a goal. More often, they fall on the grass with laughter.
"Blind" soccer player
Another variation on the theme of football. You can safely play it in the forest, since even the semblance of a football field is not required. A contestant ready to look ridiculous is chosen as the "blind" football player who is blindfolded. A ball is then placed in front of him, and the player himself is spun. Then he must blindly hit the ball. The first participant can be chosen by lot, and the winner can nominate another “victim” as a prize. It turns out a kind of mobile ball game in the air.

The host announces:
- That's it, the game starts.
Cymbals - a puzzle game
Number of players: any
Optional: coins
The participant is blindfolded and seated on a chair. The leader sticks two coins on the thumb and forefinger with wax and starts tapping to the right and left of the participant's head. The participant guesses where the sound is coming from. It's easy, but when they knock right in front of your face, it's very difficult to guess, even if you know the essence of the joke.
Climb under the table - game (competition) for adults
Number of players: any
Extras: no
When the grass is soft underfoot, it is a pleasure to crawl on it. All participants sit at the table, strictly put their elbows and do not peep down! One climbs under the table and takes off the participants' shoes, changes, etc.
The participants, meanwhile, watch each other's stern faces. Whoever laughs first, fulfills the desire that everyone has thought up in advance. Here you have room for imagination: approach strangers and offer them to buy kefir at a reduced price (while selflessly chattering that today is international kefir day), climb on the table and shout at the top of their lungs to the Martians to take you home, run all over the recreation center (of course, with unfamiliar vacationers) and yell " Robbery! Guard!"...
The weekend was so hot that I didn't want to go outside at all. And dragging to the beach is just torture when the thermometer is +35. Therefore, I stocked up in a stall with magazines and newspapers and, drinking cold cola, relaxed my brain with non-irritating, including women's reading matter.
Bears - boom!
It is more interesting if no one (or the majority) in the company knows about the rules of the game. The host asks the participants to stand in line, he himself becomes the first and declares: “You are the bears. The bears go for a walk (everyone waddling stomp in place), the bears are tired - they sat down to rest (“the bears” squat down), rested - they went again. - tired, sat down. So you can repeat, supplying the story with details in the style of "the sun was shining, the birds were singing," etc. When everyone relaxes and sits down again, the host says: "Bears - boom!" - and easily pushes the next one with his shoulder The bears fall one after another like dominoes, everyone laughs in surprise: indeed, the bears - boom!
Who's going north?
Here, too, as in "Bears" - the fewer participants know the rules of the game, the better. Ideally, if only the host knows them. He suggests going on an expedition to the north. For this you need to get together. Everyone should offer the things necessary for the trip. Everyone sits in a circle, the move is passed from participant to participant with some object (spoon, fork, pencil - whatever). The leader (he knows the rules and always goes north) starts. He says: "I'm going north and I'm taking with me ... a warm scarf" and passes the move to a neighbor. Passing the move (that is, some object), says the word "please" and adds "And I'm going north." The next player, who does not know the rules (there are usually no ones who guess right away), says "I'm going north and take with me ... warm gloves" and silently passes the move. The host states: "And he is NOT going north." Actually, the meaning of the game is that when passing the move, the players must say the magic word "please", and everyone, as a rule, focuses on the list of things and cannot understand the logic by which the leader takes some on an expedition, but not others. After some time, those who managed to guess what the matter is, try to push the others to the right idea, and begin to take all sorts of extremely "useful" things on this journey with them to the north.
- swimwear or suntan products, while saying the word "please" louder. You can also suggest, saying that only polite and well-mannered people go north. The game ends when everyone has guessed how to go north.
maternity hospital
All participants are divided into pairs: M and F. Outside the pair - only the leader. All men in the game are mothers of newborns, all women are fathers. The game simulates a situation where mothers in the ward behind a closed window are trying to tell fathers standing on the street details about the baby. Accordingly, they do not hear each other - you can only use gestures. The couple sit opposite each other. The facilitator distributes leaflets to the “mothers” where the details are written, for example, it is necessary to show with facial expressions and gestures that “this is a boy, and his ears are just like those of your grandfather” (it is desirable that for each pair the tasks are equivalent in complexity of display). The host gives pens and clean sheets of paper to the "fathers". At the command, the couples start the game: the “mother” man tries to convey to the partner what the host wrote to him. The woman-"father" writes down on her piece of paper what she saw and understood. Time is limited - for example, a minute. The couple wins, in which what the “father” woman saw will be closer to the leader’s task.
Snake
The facilitator approaches each player and says: "I am a snake, a snake, a snake ... I crawl, crawl, crawl ... Do you want to be my tail?" He replies: "I want!" - and stands behind, clasping the "snake's head" around the waist. So they approach everyone else and already in chorus ask them to join. When the snake becomes long and no one else wants to be a tail, the snake says: "I am a hungry snake, I will bite my tail!" - and tries to catch his tail. Players need to hold on tightly to each other, and the tail needs to dodge their heads. Those who got off are out of the game, and the snake continues to catch its tail.
You can make the game more difficult: when new players join the tail, they must crawl on all fours between the legs of the snake, starting from its head. This game has a rule - you can not refuse. If the company is large, you can collect two snakes, each trying to catch the tail of the other. The winning snake "eats" the loser - she crawls between the winners' legs.
Swap places!
The company sits on chairs (there are one less than the participants) in a circle leading in the center, he announces: "Change places everyone who has ..." - he can call anything from "who has blue eyes" to "who has had more than ten lovers" or "who loves blonds (blondes)", "who does not wear thongs" ... The longer the game, the more frank the questions. The named players (blue-eyed or blond-lovers) must stand up and quickly move to one of the vacant seats. If the selection criterion applies to the leader, he also takes part in the search for a seat, then the one who did not have enough chair becomes the new leader. If only one person stood up, then he will continue to play the game, and the old leader takes his place. So that people do not stay too long, you can periodically command: "Change places everyone who is in a good mood now!"
MPS
It requires one "dunno" victim. The rules are explained to him: he asks questions to the players in a circle, the players answer him "yes" or "no". The task of the "dunno" is to guess who is hiding under the abbreviation MPS. Everyone becomes in a circle, the "dunno" (he is in the center) begins to ask questions. The trick is that when answering the question "Is this a man?", one player can say "yes" and the next one can say "no" (because the MPS is "My right neighbor", and each player standing in the circle says about your neighbor on the right). Usually the "dunno" guesses who the MPS is when he starts asking the same question in a circle. But it happens, as a rule, around the fifteenth. There is also a variation on the same theme: a sticker is glued to the forehead of the "victim", on which any character is written - be it Alexander Pushkin, Pinocchio, or even the victim herself. You can make fun of even more and call the victim a pumpkin or swine flu. The goal of the victim is to get yes/no answers to his questions, to guess as quickly as possible what is written on her forehead.
hanging pear
Play game. You need to choose an artistic couple - preferably a girl and a young man, but not necessarily. The two leaders separate them and explain the task. One is told that he will have to go into the room, take a chair and pretend to screw in a light bulb. A partner or partner will interfere with him in every possible way. The goal of the player "with a light bulb" is to use gestures to explain to a friend that he is doing the right thing and soon the room will be light. You can't speak. The second is explained that the first player portrays a man who decided to hang himself, and the task is to dissuade him from a crazy step without words. While they are being instructed, the rest are also explained what the essence of the matter is, and when the participants in the game enter the room, the audience is already having fun in advance.
Snowflakes
Everyone in the company is given a "snowflake" - a small ball of cotton wool. Participants loosen their "snowflakes", at the same time launch them into the air and start blowing from below so that the fleece stays in the air as long as possible. The winner is the one whose snowflake is the last to fall on the floor.
noah's ark
The facilitator writes the names of animals on pieces of paper in advance (each creature has a pair: two hares, two giraffes, two elephants ...), folds the papers and puts it in a hat. Each participant pulls out "his destiny", and the host announces that now you need to find your partner, but you can not make sounds and speak. It is necessary with the help of facial expressions and gestures to portray your animal and look for "like yourself." The first pair to reunite wins. You can think of characteristic animals like a hare (showed his ears - and you're done), it's more interesting to come up with someone less recognizable, such as a hippopotamus and a lynx.
broken fax
Two teams are playing. Everyone runs after each other, everyone gets a piece of paper and a pencil. The last in both rows, the host shows a simple drawing, the participants must draw the same mine on their sheet, lying on the back of the player standing in front, who: in turn reproduces the drawing according to sensations. The team whose final drawing is more similar to the original wins.
cavalrymen
The more pairs, the more interesting. It is necessary that in each pair there is a guy (even better if it is a guy and a girl). The cavalryman puts on a cap or panama and sits on the stove (on the back) of the "horse". The goal is to pluck as many hats from the "enemies" as possible without losing your own.
You will need a couple of dozen balls of two colors and a lot of space. Each participant ties an inflated balloon to his leg (so that the balloon lies on the ground, but rather drags a little). The task is to destroy all the opponents' balls with kicks and save your own. The player whose ball is hit is out. The one with the last whole ball left wins.
Kangaroo
This prank game resembles the popular "crocodile" (or "associations" - when the players are divided into two teams, a "victim" is selected from the group of opponents, a word or phrase, the name of a movie or book is suggested to her - and you need to convey this information to the audience with facial expressions and gestures. theirs to guess). But here everything is easier.
The host, having called one player aside, asks him to show the kangaroo. The catch is that absolutely everyone knows what the word is. Their task is to build any kind of ridiculous guesses, just not to say "kangaroo". Usually the game goes on for a long time: the unfortunate kangaroo pokes at his stomach and jumps in front of the audience dying with laughter, who bewilderedly suggest: “a pregnant hare ... a lame dinosaur ...” and shouts: "Showing for idiots again!" - and stop.
snails
On the ground, you need to draw two lines at a distance of two to three meters. The task of the players is to get from the start to the finish line as slowly as possible, but in no case stopping or changing the direction of movement. The slowest "snail" wins.
Words words
A game for a quiet, rainy evening in the country. There are several variations.
First:
for everything about everything is given no more than three minutes. For that a short time participants must write a short story in which all words (including prepositions) must begin with one letter.
Second: choose a word that is not too long, but not too short. It must be a singular noun. The same three, and maybe five minutes are given. During this time, only from the letters in the word (if there is one "H" in the word, then the word cannot be used with a double "H") you need to compose as many words as possible (also nouns and also in the singular). The one with the most words wins.
Third: almost man-made "Erudite". A word is invented, and prefixes and suffixes are added to it to form new words. You can assign both horizontally and vertically. Strictly one letter from each player.
Princess on the Pea
The participants in the game stand facing the audience, behind each chair. The host puts a spoon, a spool of thread or a small cube on it - and covers it with a thin pillow. Players take turns sitting on a chair and trying to guess what the object is under them. Time - 2 minutes, no more. Another variation: put on a chair walnuts(well, almost peas?). In this case, the player is trying to determine how many there are - this option is closest to a fairy tale.
