Fun wedding competitions for guests. Contests for adults' birthdays at the festive table: it won't be boring

Birthday is perhaps the most favorite holiday not only for children, but also for adults. Relatives and friends gather around the table, toasts and congratulations are made, and gifts are presented.

It’s incredibly nice to see all the people who care about you and who mutually care about you. Every family member, friend or colleague who is invited to the celebration on this day tries to give the birthday person as many pleasant moments as possible.

In turn, the host of the holiday must make sure that the guests feel comfortable in the company and do not get bored during the feast. The easiest way to cheer up the adults gathered around the festive table at a birthday party is to hold table competitions. This will make the holiday special, will cheer up the guests, and most importantly, all invitees will be able to take part in comic competitions at once.

Table competitions for birthdays

A feast that does not stand out in any way will not be remembered by anyone. Don't let boring food and drinks become your holiday.

If you manage to cheer up your guests and make them laugh, then everyone will remember their birthday and everyone will like it. Next year they will come to you with even greater desire, remembering the previous holiday.

"Acquaintance"

The guest sitting at the edge of the table is given a roll of toilet paper. He must tear off as many pieces for himself as he needs and pass the roll to the next one. Everyone does the same.

The competition is held to get to know the birthday person. After all, someone knows him more, and someone less, and most importantly, each from different sides. How many scraps a person has in his hands, so many facts about the birthday boy, or interesting stories together, he must tell.

Everything will be interesting to listen to. Perhaps we will remember those cases that were long forgotten.

Necessary attribute for the competition: toilet paper roll. Since everyone will still be sitting at the table, it is better to purchase a colored roll rather than a gray one. For example, pink.

“Like it - don’t like it”

The guests have already visually become acquainted with each other, even if they did not know each other before. Each participant in the feast is invited to tell what he likes and what he doesn’t like about the appearance of the neighbor on the right.

After everyone finishes their story, it is necessary to announce what the competition was about. Participants must kiss what they don't like about the neighbor on the left. You are guaranteed half an hour of laughter at your birthday party. Perhaps someone will say that he doesn’t like his neighbor’s mustache or his tie.

Warn everyone in advance that you shouldn’t be offended at each other, because it’s just a game.

"Button"

There will be only one winner of this competition out of all participants. The last one is given a button, which is placed on the tip of the finger.

The person must pass this button to the guest sitting next to him so that it ends up on his finger and does not fall off. If the button is dropped, the participant is eliminated from the game.

So in the end there are only two participants left who will pass the button to each other until it falls. The winner is awarded a prize. This could be a set of sewing threads or a certificate for manual dexterity.

Required attribute- button.

It is best to choose a large one, with holes in the middle, and also bright, so that after a fall it will be easy to find. Just in case, keep a couple of spare buttons, exactly the same.

"Rumors about the birthday boy"

Participants in the feast are given a sheet of paper. The first participant writes on it what he knows about the birthday person, then folds the sheet so that only the last word remains visible on it. Passes a sheet of paper and a pen to a neighbor. He must continue the sentence on this word, adding his information.

So, after the last participant, a whole story of gossip about the birthday boy will remain on the sheet. By the way, this is approximately how they are born. One said it, the other didn’t hear enough and thought of it himself.

The resulting story can be given to the birthday boy as a souvenir.

Required Attributes: a piece of paper and a pen.

"Deaf Phone"

The famous children's game "Deaf Telephone" can be played as a table competition.

If the last person to name the word he heard pronounces it correctly, he deserves a prize. And if not, then a fine.
A fine can be considered to be fulfilling the wish of the birthday boy, drinking a glass of wine or something like that.

"Praise with adjectives"

Participants are asked the question: “Who is our birthday boy?” They must answer with an adjective. For example, handsome, smart, brave, desperate, purposeful, and so on. One after another, the guests praise the birthday boy. You can't repeat yourself.

The game continues until the participants begin to think about what to say and drop out of the game. The one who says the most compliments – adjectives – to the birthday boy wins.

"Remember all"

Every guest invited to a birthday party knows the birthday person well. Surely they have many interesting and funny stories. Why not remember them and laugh again.

Guests take turns telling funny stories related to the birthday boy. If someone cannot remember, they are out of the game. The one who tells the most funny stories wins.

The winner can be awarded a certificate for the best memory or given some small gift.

"Charade"

Each participant in the feast, except the birthday boy, is given a piece of paper and a pen. The task is to describe yourself. These can be qualities of a person, adjectives describing his appearance, or facts about his appearance.

After everyone has finished, the sheets are handed over to the birthday person. He reads out what is written and must guess which of the guests wrote it to himself.

It will be a lot of fun if guests describe themselves with humor. It is important that you only write the truth, but not lies. However, everyone can praise themselves.

Required Attributes: sheets of paper, it is better to take small pens, cut into squares.

"Lottery"

Why not make a win-win lottery for guests in the form of a competition. After all, the birthday boy will receive his gifts in any case, and the guests will have nothing left as a keepsake.

As guests arrive, they need to be given tickets with numbers. As soon as the feast is in full swing and everyone has gathered in one place, you need to start holding a holiday lottery. This could be the moment when the birthday person blows out the candles on the cake. So each guest will receive their own small gift.

Attributes required: small low-budget gifts - prizes (mugs, plates, notepads, pens, photo frames, notebooks, towels, toys, mirrors, sweets), sheets of paper with numbers. Prepare lottery tickets in advance equal to the number of guests.

"Congratulatory"

And while every competition should bring some fun to the gathering, don’t forget about the birthday boy, who makes sure everyone is at the same table and having a good time.

Buy a notebook with a thick cover in advance. It will be good if it has a festive look or an inscription suitable for a birthday. The person sitting at the edge of the table is given this notepad and pen. His task is to sincerely wish the birthday boy everything he wants. This is how each of the guests writes their sincere congratulations.

It’s good if the guests sign their words so that the host of the holiday knows who wrote what. The notebook remains with the birthday boy as a keepsake. He will be able to re-read whatever he wishes as many times as he wants, charging himself with this positive energy.

Required Attributes: a pre-purchased notebook, preferably with a thick cover that will last a long time, a pen for writing congratulations. Keep a few pens in case one of them stops writing.

Now you know that it is not necessary to have an extensive dance floor in order to hold competitions at a birthday party; it is enough to just gather your family and loved ones at one table and have fun. Spend your time not only usefully, but also with joy.

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

But the guests drank and ate... talked about the latest news from the lives of their loved ones and the country as a whole... danced... and some prepared to be bored... But that was not the case!

Good hosts always have something in stock that will not only relieve boredom, but will also bring the guests of the holiday closer together, and will also be remembered by everyone for a long time with fun and humor - these are, of course, various competitions.

They are very different:

• movable (with and without objects),
• musical,
• drawing,
• verbal, etc.

Today I will introduce you to those that can be carried out without leaving the table.

NOTE! They can be performed in different versions, change the rules, add items, increase or decrease the number of participants - in a word, take a creative approach to drawing up a program of fun and amusing table competitions for an adult company sitting at the table.

Let's start with the simple - what's at hand (literally and figuratively!)

"The alphabet is near us"

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

Players playing in a circle name objects - products - things starting with this letter, which are located directly next to them and which can be reached with their hand or touched.

Option! - add adjectives to the list of nouns: B - incomparable salad, incomparable lipstick (from a neighbor), endless pasta, C - nice vinaigrette, sugar cake...

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

Here's another game with letters.

"Burim in order"

Starting with the first letter of the alphabet, the players come up with a mini-congratulation (depending on the occasion of those gathered) or simply sentences that are appropriate for this holiday.

The phrase should begin first with the letter A, the next one with B, then C, and so on. It is advisable to come up with funny phrases like:

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

Attention! What is important here is the sequence of letters in the alphabet and the meaning of the invented sentences. It is clear that some letters (ь-ъ-ы) are skipped.

The winner is the one who came up with the funniest phrase. Decided by unanimous vote.

There was the ABC - it was up to the poetry!

“Tell me what’s in the package!”

If there are people at the table who can write poetry (the level of poetry, of course, will be taken into account, but the main thing here is different), then offer the next competition.

Several poetry masters are given an object, which is packed in an opaque fabric box-bag. They should quietly look at what they got and write a poem about the item. Guests listen and guess.

Important! You cannot name what is hidden, you can only poetically describe its purpose, appearance...

The writer of the longest and most original piece wins.

Everyone loves fairy tales!

"Modern fairy tale"

Equipment: sheets of paper, pens.

The players are divided into two teams. Usually they are divided according to the “we sit next to each other” principle. Each chooses (option: the driver assigns) a profession. For example, cooks and truck drivers.

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

For example, the fairy tale of a brave cook begins with the words: “Once upon a time my grandmother had a piece of ham worth two and a half kilos...” We advise the program creator to come up with starting phrases in advance for the different professions of the participants.

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

Try this too! It is not teams who play, but individual participants. Then more time is given for preparation, and it will be easier for the guests to select the winner.

Everyone’s favorite since childhood, “Broken Phone”

Here, the more people, the better.

The driver (or the first person sitting) thinks of a word (phrase), writes it 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 that you need to whisper quietly and as close as possible to what you heard. The latter speaks the word out loud.

The funny thing begins at the moment when, if there is a mismatch between the input and output, a “showdown” begins - at what stage, for whom what went wrong.

Robot YES-NO

The host prepares cards with the names of the animals in advance and announces that the guests will guess them by 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 presenter shows a card with the correct answer.

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

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

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

Competitions with paper

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

Chipmunk Speaker

Props:

• nuts (or orange, or bread),
• paper,
• pen.

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

The “speaker” puts nuts (orange slices, a piece of bread) behind his cheeks so that it is difficult to speak. He is given a text (poetry or prose), which he needs to pronounce as clearly as possible (as far as the contents of the “cheek pouches” allow). The “stenographer” is trying to write down, as he understands, what he heard. Then they compare it with the “source”.

The winner is the couple whose “transcript” is the most correct.

Option! One “speaker” is selected, and everyone is recorded.

"Explain in 30 seconds"

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

We play like this:

1. Guests are divided into pairs. It can be by lot, it can be at will, it can be next door at the table. Each pair is a team.
2. Players receive pens/pencils and pieces of paper (each has several of them - 15-20).
3. Everyone writes 15-20 (discuss this in advance with the players) of any nouns that come to mind: on one piece of paper - one noun.
4. Leaves with words are hidden in a box/bag/hat.
5. First, the first pair-team plays: they take turns taking 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 horse-drawn carriage, “frying pan” is a pancake maker.

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

You have 30 seconds to do everything. You can agree on a minute - depending on the state of the company)))

The number of words a team guesses is how many points it will receive.

Then the turn passes to the other pair of players.

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

The team that guesses the most words wins.

Fun table competitions with answers

Prepare: a box containing pieces of paper with various questions written on it.

Attention! In winter they can be made in the form of snowflakes, in summer in the form of apples, in autumn in the form of colored leaves, in spring they can be flowers.

We play like this:

Everyone takes turns pulling out paper pieces of paper with questions and answering them not only as truthfully as possible, but also funny.

Questions could be:

• What was your favorite toy as a child?
• What was your most memorable vacation?
• Have your New Year's wishes ever come true?
• What's the funniest thing that happened to you in childhood that you remember?
• What's the funniest purchase you've ever made?
• If you have an animal at home, what funny incident can you remember (what did it eat)?
• 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 pleases the most guests.

Are you asking? I answer!

Let's prepare:

• cards with questions,
• answer cards,
• 2 boxes.

We play like this.

One box contains questions, the other contains answers.

The players sit down, if possible, alternating: man-woman-man-woman... This will make the answers more interesting!

The first player takes out a card with a question and reads it aloud to his neighbor at the table.

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

Sometimes the question-answer coincidences are very funny)))

Questions could be like this (assuming that the company is close and everything is on a first-name basis):

Two truths and a lie

This fun competition at the table for an adult company does not require any preparation. Best suited for a company where the participants do not know each other very 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 guess correctly, the player (the liar) wins nothing. If you guess wrong, you receive a small prize.

Variant of this: everyone writes down their statements on pieces of paper, marking the false ones, give them to the presenter (the host of the party), and he reads them out in turn.

One more?

Several competitions for a drinking group that wants to become even more drunk.

Find the crocodile

This game can be played during other games, as an additional game. It essentially lasts the whole evening, but at the very beginning you need to tell the guests its rules.

At some point in the party, the host secretly gives one of the guests (the “hunter”) a clothespin (crocodile) and he must attach it discreetly to the clothes of a “victim” he has arbitrarily chosen (or put it in a lady’s purse or 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 get into? and starts counting out loud from 10 to one. Guests are looking to see if they are the target of a prank.

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

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

Drinking alphabet chain

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

The game goes in circles. The first player names the celebrity's first and last name. The next person must also name a celebrity whose name begins with the first letter of the previous one.

To make it clearer, look at the example:

The first player makes a wish for Cameron Diaz. The second by Dmitry Kharatyan. Third Hugh Grant. The fourth is by Georgy Vitsin. And so on.

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

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

Insert your two cents

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

Phrases could be:

The task of each participant is to insert “their” phrase into the conversation so that others do not understand that this is a phrase from a piece of paper. After the player has said 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 the sheet was uttered can try to incriminate the player. He must repeat the phrase that he thinks was used. Of course, there is a chance that he will not guess correctly.

If the accuser makes a mistake, he drinks a “penalty glass.” If you guess correctly, then a penalty kick is awarded to the person who was caught using the phrase from the sheet.

Guess the brand

If the company name is included in the slogan, then you can shorten it. For example: Who goes where, and I (to Sberkassa). 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 hints or several possible answers.

For example: Who goes where, and I... (at VDNKh, to Moskvoshway, to get married, to Sberbank).

Find your soul mate

If the company is about half women and men, then you can play this game. Although, it will fit, with some degree of conditionality, in other cases.

To do this, you need to prepare small cards in advance 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 other guests in turn questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.” Direct questions like “Is your name Angelina?” or “are you Brad’s wife”? prohibited. Questions like “Do you have children with your significant other?” are allowed; “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 cards of pairs you prepare, the better. Since only half of the guests will play in the first round (when they find their soul mate, they are deprived of the opportunity to look for theirs). Therefore, after the first round, new cards are dealt and the second round begins.

Option: in the first circle they are looking for a woman's soul mate, in the second - men.

Do you have..?

This game is suitable for a large company and for celebrating a variety of holidays.

The company is divided into two teams with an equal number of participants. We must try to have the same number of women in each.

The presenter, starting with the words “Do you have...?”, reads out the list of things you are looking for. Members of each team need to find this thing and show it to the leader.

Team members search in pockets and purses, those who find them show the item they are looking for, the team receives a point for each item found. For one named item, the team gets only one point (no matter how many five thousand dollar bills the team members have, the team can only get one point for the item with the bill).

So, do you have...?

• 5000 ruble banknote;
• Notebook;
• photo of the child;
• mint chewing gum;
• candy;
• pencil;
• keychain with at least 7 keys;
• penknife;
• 7 (or 5) credit cards per person;
• small change in the amount of at least 95 rubles (for one person);
• hand cream;
• flash drive;
• nail polish;
• shoe sponge...

The list of things can be supplemented at will.

Play and have fun with your guests at the festive table!

Don’t forget that each competition can be creatively reworked to suit your company.

Let your friends remember this day not only for the most delicious dishes, but also for the funniest and coolest competitions.

Eat! Drink! And don't be bored!

The presenter brings a bag into the hall, and in it are tokens with different letters. Guests sitting at the table take turns taking a “letter” out of the bag and, without hesitation, name any word starting with this letter. The effect of surprise and the high rate of responses give a comical result. Moreover, at the end of the competition the presenter says: “Now we know who is thinking about what now!”

Each number is unique

Each of the guests takes turns pulling out their own forfeit from the hat, which contains any number from 1 to 15, for example. As soon as all the guests have learned their numbers, each participant in turn names this “his” number and begins to list everything that exists and does not exist in the world associated with this number, for example, if a guest pulled out the number 1, he can list: the saying “Alone in the field not a warrior"; catchphrase “One to One”; name any player who plays number 1; name the first element in the periodic table - hydrogen; sing a song with the number 1 “Once a year the gardens bloom” and so on, if, for example, a guest comes across the number 7, he can also remember some athlete with number 7; remember that there are 7 wonders of the world in the world; catchphrase “On 7th heaven”; the saying “Seven do not wait for one” and so on. The main thing is to use your wits and rummage through your memory, and then you can find your own unique “stories” for all the numbers: movies, songs, sayings, numbers of players and elements, catch phrases, and so on. Whichever guest can name the most facts about their number will win.

A lot of words

Each of the guests takes turns pulling out their own forfeit from the hat, in which any letter of the alphabet is indicated. And at the “start” command, the presenter sets a time for the participant - a minute, and during this minute the participant must name as many words as possible starting with the letter he pulled out. At the end of the game, the title of winner and the prize will be taken by the participant who can name the most words starting with “their” letter.

Cinema on the table

You need to print out notes in advance with famous catch phrases from movies and preferably about food, for example, “What a disgusting thing this jellied fish of yours is,” “He who doesn’t work, eats,” “Sit down to eat, please,” and so on. The presenter announces the beginning of the competition and the guests look with their eyes for the notes on the table, read and guess the films from which the phrases are taken - “The Irony of Fate”, “The Adventures of Shurik” and so on. Whichever guest finds the most notes and guesses the most movies will win a prize.

Traveling by country

The presenter prepares “compromising evidence” on the countries for this competition - any two pictures characterizing a specific country. The presenter takes turns showing two pictures, and the guests at the table guess the country itself. Whoever has the most guessed countries is the winner. Examples of pictures:
1. Bear and balalaika (Russia);
2. Carnival and coffee (Brazil);
3. Sombreros and maracas (Mexico);
4. Pizza and gladiator fights (Italy);
5. Tulips and cheese (Holland);
6. Banks (institutions) and watches (Switzerland) and so on.

Full spoon

Each participant receives a tablespoon (the same). There is a bowl of grapes (olives) on the table. At the command “start”, each participant collects grapes in his spoon. Whichever guest fills his spoon with the most grapes in one minute is the winner.

In conjecture

For some time, all guests are transformed into certain heroes, and which ones will be determined by the forfeits. So, everyone in turn pulls out their phantom, which indicates the name of the hero (possibly from both a real story and a fictional one). Guests do not say anything to anyone about the name of their hero, but only for a while transform into a fantasy role, for example, Jack Sparrow, Julius Caesar, Stalin, Terminator and so on. Using phrases and behavior of celebrities, guests should show the characters as believably as possible. This will result in very interesting communication at the table, and whichever guest can guess the most characters among the guests will also receive a prize.

Ten minutes of transformation
