These fun games and contests are not just for birthday parties. They can be used at any fun holiday - from a family celebration to a corporate party.
To have a great time, you only need a few ingredients: good company and rich imagination. You will have to decide on the company yourself, and we will help you with your imagination. Here are the top fun contests, most of which don't require props and can be played anywhere.
1. "Unexpected find"
A very funny contest, because you can laugh at the participants to your heart's content!
Competition description: You need to wrap large pieces of different products in foil and put them all in a paper bag. The host calls the product. Players take turns taking foil-wrapped "delicacy" out of the bag and taking a bite, no matter what's in there. Then they put it back in the package and pass it on. If the player does not want to bite, then he is out. The winner is the one who got the named product, and he receives it as a gift =).
The highlight of the game in the "delicacy". The more original they taste, the more interesting it is to observe the reaction of the participants. Here are examples: onion, garlic, lemon, hot pepper, liver sausage, a piece of lard, a pie.
Number of players: 5-10, depending on the number of products.
2. "Magic package"
The essence of the competition: hold out until the very end.
Competition description: participants become in a circle. A paper bag is placed in its middle. Everyone in turn must go to the bag and pick it up, without using their hands and standing on one leg. The highlight of the competition is that the presenter cuts off 5 cm of the bag with each circle with scissors. The winner is the one who does not lose his balance, falling lower and lower.
Number of players: 4-6 people.
3. "Close tango"
The essence of the competition: hold on to the smallest piece of fabric while continuing to dance the tango.
Competition description: we choose 2-3 pairs, you can have the same sex. For each pair on the ground we spread the fabric big size- it could be an old sheet. Participants must dance to the music on this fabric. For a laugh, give each man a flower in his mouth and ask him to look serious.
Every 20-30 seconds, fold the fabric in half. The players keep dancing.
This continues until there is no space left on the fabric at all. The couple that continues the dance without touching the floor will win.
Number of players: 2-3 couples.
4. "Delicious relay race"
The essence of the competition: come to the finish line first.
Competition description: It is necessary to divide the guests into 2 teams of 3-5 people. The first participants are placed a slice of cucumber, chocolate or cookies on their foreheads. It must be moved to the chin without using hands. If it falls, the player starts over. The baton is then passed to the other team member. The team that finishes first will win.
Number of players: 6-10 people.
5. "King Elephant"
The essence of the competition: do not get confused and become the Elephant King.
Competition description: players sit in a circle. The Elephant King is chosen, which is the "head" of the circle. Each participant chooses an animal to portray and a special sign. For example, a worm can move thumb right hand. The Elephant King extends one arm up.
The Elephant King shows his signal first. The next player must show his signal, and then his. The other repeats the signal of the previous one and shows his own. And so on in turn. At the end of the circle, the Elephant King must repeat all signals. If someone gets confused, then he sits at the “end” of the circle. The winner is the one who is in the place of the Elephant King and does not get confused for three laps.
Number of players: up to 11 people.
6. "Classic charades"

7. "Non-fictional story"
The essence of the competition: work together to come up with a funny story.
Competition description: This competition will provide an opportunity to relax at the table, but continue to have fun. Players sit in a circle and take turns, several sentences at a time, to tell funny story. In terms of meaning, each sentence must correspond, forming one text. The one who laughs or smiles is out. And so on until the very end, until there is a winner.
Number of players: unlimited.
8. "Dynamic racing"
The essence of the competition: find the Item, ahead of rivals.
Competition description: players are divided into pairs. We tightly blindfold one of the partners. We put the Item (anything) away from the participants, and in the space between them and the Item we create insignificant barricades. You can use bottles, for example.
Those who remained in a pair with open eyes, must tell the partner where the Item is. The latter still has to guess the voice of his partner, among the voices of the opponents' partners.

When a good company gathers at the table, the party promises to be boring!
But then the guests drank and ate ... talked over the latest news from the life of their loved ones and the country as a whole ... danced ... and some prepared to be bored ... But it wasn’t there!
Good hosts always have something in stock that will not only disperse boredom, but also bring the guests of the holiday together, and will also be remembered for a long time by fun and humor - these are, of course, various contests.
They are very different:
- mobile (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 options, change the rules, add items, increase or decrease the number of participants - in short, be creative in compiling a program of fun and funny drinking competitions for adult company sitting at the table.
We start with a simple one - what is at hand (literally and figuratively!)
"The Alphabet Beside Us"
The facilitator calls any letter of the alphabet, except four Y-Y-L-b(you can also agree on the exclusion of the letter Y).
Players in a circle call objects-products-things that begin with this letter, which are directly next to them and which can be reached or touched.
Option! - add adjectives to the list of nouns: B - incomparable salad, incomparable lipstick (from a neighbor), endless macaroni, C - pretty vinaigrette, sugar cake ...
The game goes on until the words are exhausted. The last one to call wins.
And here is another game with letters.
"Burime in order"
Starting with the first letter of the alphabet, the players come up with a mini-congratulation (depending on the occasion of the audience) or simply sentences that are appropriate for this holiday.
The phrase should begin first with the letter A, the next with B, then C, and so on. It is desirable that funny phrases be invented, such as:
“It’s great that we are here today!”
- It used to be...
- That's …
- Lord...
Attention! The sequence of letters in the alphabet and the meaning of the invented sentences are also important here. It is clear that some letters (b-b-s) are skipped.
The winner is the one who came up with the most funny phrase. Decided by unanimous vote.
The alphabet was - it's up to the verses!
"What's 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 offer the next competition.
A few psychics are given one item, which is packaged in an opaque cloth-box-bag. They should quietly consider what they got and compose a poem about the subject. Guests listen and guess.
Important! You can’t name what is hidden, you can only describe the purpose in verse, appearance…
The writer of the longest and most original work wins.
Everyone loves stories!
"Modern fairy tale"
Inventory: pieces 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 himself (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 choose (an option assigned by the driver) in a modern way, using professional vocabulary and terminology.
For example, the tale of a brave cook begins with the words: “Once upon a time my grandmother had a piece of ham for two and a half kilos ...” We advise the compiler of the program to come up with starting phrases in advance for the different professions of the participants.
Everyone has fun! Prize for the winning team: sweets, a bottle of champagne for everyone ...
Try it too! Teams do not play, but individual participants. Then more time is given for preparation, and it will be easier for the guests to single out the winner.
Beloved by everyone since childhood "Spoiled Phone"
Here, the more people, the better.
The driver (or the first person sitting) thinks of a word (phrase), writes it down on a piece of paper (for the purity of the experiment!))) And passes it along the chain, whispering in each other's ears.
Everyone remembers to whisper quietly and as close as possible to what they heard. The latter speaks the word aloud.
The funny begins at the moment when, with a mismatch between “input-output”, “showdowns” begin - at what stage, for whom, what went wrong.
Robot YES-NO
The driver prepares cards with the names of animals in advance and announces that the guests will guess them, asking any questions that he can answer only with the words YES-NO (in extreme cases, “I can’t say”).
The game continues until the animal is guessed, and the host shows the card with the correct answer.
Questions can be about wool (whether short or long), about legs, paws, about whether there is a tail (fluffy or smooth), about claws, neck, about what it eats, where it sleeps, and so on.
Game option! It is not an animal that is guessed, but an object. Then the questions will be about the size, color, appearance, purpose, presence in the house or on the street, the ability to pick it up, the presence of numbers, the presence of electricity in it ...
Another variant of the game is frivolous. You can guess items from a men's or women's wardrobe, underwear, or for the most daring - from an assortment of adult stores.
paper contests
And here's another game where the funniest thing is also a mismatch.
chipmunk speaker
Props:
- nuts (or orange, or bun),
- paper,
- a pen.
Those sitting at the table are divided into pairs: “orator” and “stenographer”.
The “orator” puts nuts (orange slices, a piece of bread) in his cheeks so that it is difficult to speak. He is given a text (poetry or prose), which needs to 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 compared with the "source".
The couple whose "transcript" is the most correct wins.
Option! One “speaker” is selected, and everyone writes down.
"Explain in 30 Seconds"
- pens / pencils according to the number of players,
- small slips of paper
- box/pouch/hat.
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 sheets of paper (each has several - 15-20).
- Everyone writes 15-20 (specify this in advance with the players) of any nouns that come to mind: on one sheet - one noun.
- Sheets with words are hidden in a box / bag / hat.
- First, the first pair-team plays: they take turns pulling out sheets of words and must explain to each other the word that they came across, but in no case naming the noun itself.
For example, the word “cart” is a cart drawn by horses, “frying pan” is a pancake baker.
After the first word is guessed, you can get a sheet with another.
Everything is given 30 seconds. You can 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 passes to another pair of players.
The time limit makes this competition spectacular, loud, noisy and fun!
The team that guessed the most words wins.
Fun table 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 it can be flowers.
We play like this:
Everyone takes turns pulling out paper sheets with questions and answering them not only as truthfully as possible, but also funny.
Questions might be:
- What was your favorite toy as a child?
- What vacation do you remember the most?
- Have New Year's wishes ever come true?
- What was the funniest thing that happened to you as a child?
- What's the funniest purchase you've ever made?
- If there is an animal at home, what funny case Can you remember (what he ate)?
- What did you dream about as a child and did it come true?
- What's the funniest prank you can remember?
- Do you love your housemates and why?
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 will please the most guests.
Are you asking? I answer!
Let's cook:
- question cards,
- answer cards,
- 2 boxes.
We play like this.
Questions are in one box, answers are in the other.
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 table neighbor.
He takes, without looking into the box, a piece of paper with an answer and also reads it out.
Quite funny sometimes it turns out coincidence question-answer)))

Two truths and a lie
This is a fun table competition for an adult company that does not require preparation. Best suited for a company where the participants do not know each other too well.
Each player must say three statements or facts about themselves. Two true, one false. Listeners vote to decide which one is false. If they guessed correctly, the player (liar) wins nothing. If you don't guess right, you get a small prize.
Option - everyone writes down their statements on sheets of paper, marking false ones, give them to the host (party host), and he reads them out in turn.
One more?
Several competitions for a drunk company that wants to become even more drunk.
Find the crocodile
This game can be played in the process of other games, as an additional one. It, in fact, lasts the whole evening, but at the very beginning it is necessary to tell the guests its rules.
At some point in the party, the host secretly passes a clothespin (crocodile) to one of the guests (“hunter”), and he must attach it discreetly to the clothes of a “victim” chosen by him (or put it in a lady’s purse or in a man’s jacket pocket). Then he gives a sign to the leader that the task is completed.
As soon as the clothespin has found a new owner, the presenter says “The crocodile has escaped! Who did he go to?" and aloud starts counting from 10 to one. The guests are looking to see if they were the target of a prank.
If within 10 seconds the “victim” finds a lurking “crocodile hiding in a bag or clinging to a collar” – the “hunter” drinks a penalty glass. If it does not find it, the “victim” must drink.
You can limit the search area (the crocodile clings only to clothes) or give more time.
Drinking alphabet chain
For the competition you need: glasses with your favorite drinks, memory for names and knowledge of the alphabet.
The game goes around. The first player says the first and last name of the celebrity. The next one must 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 chooses Cameron Diaz. The second Dmitry Kharatyan. Third Hugh Grant. Fourth George Vitsin. And so on.
You can name any famous people, politicians, actors, athletes. A player who cannot find the right name within 5 seconds (approximately) must drink his glass. Then the glass is filled, and the move passes to the next player.
The longer the game lasts, the more difficult it is to pick up new names (you can’t repeat yourself), the fun and the company are rapidly gaining degrees.
Insert your five cents
The organizer of the competition needs to prepare leaflets with phrases that are far in meaning from the theme of a feast or birthday. Give each of the guests a card with a phrase at the very beginning of the party.
Phrases can be:
The task of each participant is to insert “his” phrase into the conversation so that others do not understand that this is a phrase from a piece of paper. After the player has spoken his phrase, he needs to wait a minute, after which he says “Win!!!” During this time, any other guest who, during the conversation, suspects that a phrase from a piece of paper was spoken, can try to convict the player. He must repeat the phrase he thinks was used. Of course, there is a chance that he will not guess.
If the accuser is mistaken, then he drinks a “penalty glass”. If you guessed right, then a penalty is assigned to the one who was caught using the phrase from the sheet.
Guess the brand
If the name of the company is included in the slogan, then you can abbreviate it. For example: Who goes where, and I (to the savings bank). This slogan is included 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 clues or multiple answers.
For example: Who goes where, and I ... (at VDNKh, to Moskvoshveya, to get married, 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 is suitable, with some degree of conventionality, in other cases.
To do this, you need to prepare in advance small cards on which to write the names of famous couples. One name per card. For example:
- 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".
Task: everyone must find their soul mate by asking the rest of the guests in turn questions that can only be answered with “yes” or “no”. Direct questions like "Is your name Angelina?" or "you are Brad's wife"? prohibited. Allowed questions like "Do you have children with your soul mate?"; “Are you and your significant other married?”; “Do you and your significant other live in…?”
Those who find their soul mate by asking the minimum number of questions win. The more couple cards you have, 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 comes second a circle.
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 big company and to celebrate a variety of holidays.
The company is divided into two teams with an equal number of participants. We must try to have the same number of women in each.
The host, starting with the words “Do you have ...?”, Reads out a 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 pockets and purses, finders show the item they are looking for, the team gets a point for each item found. For one item named, the team gets only one point (no matter how many five thousandth bills the team members have, the team can only get one point for the item with a bill).
So, do you have with you..?
- banknote of 5000 rubles;
- Notebook;
- photo of the child;
- mint chewing gum;
- sweetie;
- pencil;
- keychain with at least 7 keys;
- penknife;
- 7 (or 5) credit cards per person;
- a trifle 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 arbitrarily supplemented.
Play, have fun with guests for festive table!
Do not forget that each competition can be creatively redesigned for your company.
Let this day be remembered by your friends not only the most delicious meals, but also the most fun and cool contests.
Eat! Drink! And don't be bored!
On vacations and holidays, we like to relax or travel with friends. To make your vacation more fun and exciting, check out a few cool games, which will help you laugh a lot, once again train your convolutions and learn a lot about each other. They do not require special props, so go for it!
1. Hat
All participants come up with ten words, write them on pieces of paper and put them in a hat. And then the fun begins: the players take turns trying to explain, show or draw the words they come across in a limited amount of time, and everyone else tries to guess them. The most successful receive victory points, honor, fame and a medal around the neck.
2. Associations
Everyone sits in a circle, and someone speaks any word in the ear of his neighbor, he must immediately say his first association to this word in the ear of the next one, the second says to the third, and so on, in a chain, until the word returns to the first. If from the "elephant" you get a "stripper" - consider that the game was a success.
3. Get to know me
Several people sit in a row. The leader must, blindfolded, by touch recognize the hidden person in the sitting ones. Moreover, you can guess by different parts of the body - for example, by the arm, legs, hair, depending on how far everyone is ready to go.
4. Crocodile
This is a popular game in which participants use gestures, movements and facial expressions to show a hidden word, while other players try to guess it. The driver is forbidden to pronounce any words or make sounds, use or point to surrounding objects, show letters or parts of a word. The lucky one, who guesses what it is about, in the next round he himself depicts the word, but already different.
5. Cucumber
One leader is selected, and all the rest become in a very close circle - literally shoulder to shoulder. Players' hands must be behind. The essence of the game is to imperceptibly pass a cucumber behind the backs of the host and, at every opportunity, bite off a piece of it. And the task of the presenter is to guess in whose hands the cucumber is. If the presenter guessed correctly, then the player caught by him takes his place. The game continues until the cucumber is eaten. It is very funny!
6. Contact
The host thinks of a word and calls the rest of the players the first letter of this word. For example, the word catastrophe is conceived - the first letter "K". Each of the other players comes up with a word that starts with that letter and tries to explain to the others what exactly they have in mind without naming it. If one of the players understood which word was intended by those who explained, then he says “There is a contact!” and both (the one explaining and responding) begin to count aloud to ten, and then each say his own word. If the word matched, then the leader calls the second letter of the word, and the game continues, only now you need to invent and explain the word with the initial letters already given. If the word did not match, then the players continue to try to come up with and explain a new word.
7. Danetki
Good old detective fun. Danetka is a word puzzle, a confusing or strange story, part of which the presenter tells, and the rest must restore the sequence of events. Questions can only be asked that can be answered with "Yes", "No" or "Irrelevant", hence the name of the game.
8. I never...
With the help of this game you can get to know people better. The chips of this game are any items, such as coins, toothpicks, and so on. The game begins like this: the first participant says something that he has never done in his life (“ I never..."). All other participants in the game who did this must give one chip to this player. Whoever has the most chips at the end of the game wins.
9. Secret Keeper
Very addictive and extremely mind-blowing game. The host thinks of a phrase, slogan or quote known to all participants. Names the number of words in it. Then the players ask the "keeper" any questions. Each answer must contain a word from the hidden phrase. The answer must fit in one sentence. Analyzing the facilitator's answers, the players give their version of the "secret".
10. Fanta
Good old children's game. The players collect one of any item, which are put into a bag. One player is blindfolded. The leader pulls out things in turn, and the blindfolded player comes up with a task for the pulled out thing, the owner of which must complete it. Tasks can be very different: sing a song, dance or walk the iron.
The festive table is not only delicious food and drinks. It is also a meeting of people who have gathered in one place for some kind of celebration. And in order for it to pass highest level the owner of the house must make every effort to do so. And as an entertainment, you can dilute the feast various games, quizzes and other activities where guests can show off their talents or knowledge.
Comic tasks at the table will help guests unwind, relieve the jitters of an unusual environment and get to know each other better. But, of course, their main function is to raise the degree of fun. In order for the comic tasks to succeed, the host of the celebration needs to prepare in advance. To do this, you can use the topics below.
sobriety test
The simplest, but at the same time very funny task. Especially if the host and guests during the celebration of any event use alcoholic drinks. But, even a sober person can not cope with such a task. That will cause an attack of laughter in those around you.
As a sobriety test task, you can use various tongue twisters:
- Lilac tooth picker from under the tuck
- In Kabardino-Balkaria valocordin from Bulgaria
- Fluorographer fluorographed a fluorographist
- The Staffordshire Terrier is zealous, and the black-haired Giant Schnauzer is frisky
- It's pointless to comprehend the meaning of meaningless thoughts
The list of such tongue twisters can be continued for a very long time. They can be found on the Internet or special dictionaries.
I love and I don't love
