Games and jokes for birthday. Cool contests for a fun company: we sit at the table, sing, dance ...

When preparing to celebrate his birthday, inviting guests to the celebration, the birthday boy needs to choose funny table contests in advance so that the holiday is as bright and interesting as possible, and, most importantly, to avoid awkward protracted pauses or unwanted conversations.

Competitions should be chosen exclusively table- as a rule, adults have absolutely no desire to get up from the table to participate in outdoor games - therefore, an invitation to jump and run is unlikely to be met with enthusiasm by the guests.

At the same time, the number of contests should not exceed 5-6, otherwise even the funniest entertainment program will be unreasonably long and will soon get bored.

Necessary props and organizational preparations

Most of the contests below do not require a host, but some of them will require a host to be chosen by popular vote - which in itself will be a fun contest.
Or agree in advance that one of your loved ones will take on this role.

Props

For the competitive program, you must prepare in advance:

• tokens or medals;
• red box;
• forfeits with tasks;
• blindfold and mittens (according to the number of guests);
• picture cards in a blue or pink (depending on who's birthday) box:
  – scales for weighing trucks,
  - desert,
  - telescope,
  - alcohol mashine,
  - tank,
  - police car,
  - lemon Tree,
  - propeller.
• two bags (boxes);
• question cards;
• answer cards;
• long nose made of cardboard and gum;
• a glass of water;
• ring.

red box

A "Red Box" with phantoms is being prepared separately for those who lost in contests or dropped out of the game.
You can make a "Red Box" yourself, from colored paper and adhesive tape, or buy a ready-made one.

Phantom tasks should be as funny as possible, for example:

• to sing with a serious air a funny song in a false voice without hitting a single note;
• dance while sitting (hands, shoulders, eyes, head, etc. funny dance);
• show the trick (at the same time so that it does not work out - it is clear that there are no magicians among the guests);
• tell a funny poem, make an unusual riddle, tell a funny story, and so on.

Attention: The "Red Box" will be in the middle of the table throughout the entertainment program. As mentioned above, it is for losing participants. Therefore, do not forget to “reward” a phantom to the eliminated contestant - and it doesn’t matter if the tasks are repeated - because everyone will complete them in their own way!

Competition No. 1 "Find a birthday boy"

Guests are blindfolded.
The leader transplants everyone as he wants.

As a result, no one knows who is now sitting where, and who is nearby.

Warm mittens are put on for each guest. You need to feel by touch who is sitting next to you, touching your hands in mittens only to the head and face of a neighbor.
Firstly, it tickles and involuntarily causes laughter!
And secondly, it is very interesting to try to guess a person through touch!

Each participant guesses who is on the left.
You can try to guess only once, the ultimate goal is to find the birthday boy.

Bandages are removed only when the last participant guessed or did not guess his neighbor, but if the birthday boy was found, then the game ends earlier.

Whoever didn’t guess the neighbor pulls a phantom from the “Red Box” and performs a funny task.

Competition No. 2 "Wishes and funny gifts for the birthday man"

This is a very funny contest for resourceful guests with a sense of humor.

First, the Host says the main congratulations.
It sounds like this: “Dear (th) our birthday (ca)! We all sincerely love you together and wish you good health, happiness and prosperity! May all your dreams come true! Now the rest of the guests will complement my wishes!”

Next, each of the participants must say the phrase: , and then pull out a picture from the blue (or pink) box, show it to the birthday man (birthday girl), and explain - why does he give this item to the hero of the occasion? If his explanation was not found, then the contestant reads out the text on the back of the picture.

The next participant, before taking the picture out of the box, again repeats the beginning of the congratulatory phrase “And I know that this is exactly what you really need, so I give it!” and takes out his funny “gift” with an explanation why the hero of the occasion really needs it!

So, for example, having taken out a picture of a desert, the participant first says the main phrase, with which everyone who draws the pictures begins: “And I know that this is exactly what you really need, so I give it!”, and, if your wish was not found, read the phrase written in the picture on the reverse side: “Let them go there, into the distance, forever, holding hands, and all your enemies and enemies will no longer be able to return, capturing all your troubles!”

What should be depicted and written in the pictures is indicated in the section "Preliminary preparation", but we will repeat again:

1. The box contains pictures of unusual objects.
2. On the reverse side, as a hint, wishes are written. First, the guest, looking at the picture pulled out of the box, tries to come up with an original wish for the birthday girl (birthday man), then looks at the hint written on the back of the picture and adds it to his congratulations.
3. You can add other pictures, in any quantity - the more pictures and wishes, the more interesting the contest.

The required minimum number of images for the contest:

• a picture of special scales for weighing loaded KamAZ trucks, on the reverse side it says: “I wish you so much wealth that it is impossible to count, but only weigh it with such scales!”;
• image of a telescope, on the reverse side it says: “I wish that all dreams and their fulfillment were much closer than those stars in the sky that are visible through a telescope!”;
• moonshine, on the reverse side of the wish: “Let a considerable percentage of unbridled fun always play in your veins!”;
• a picture of a tank, a wish: “To always have something to go to the store!”
• picture of police car with flasher: “So that when you go, the people make way!”
• a tree on which lemons grow, the inscription: “So that “lemons” and not only fruits grow all year round!”
• a picture of a desert, on the back it says: “Let them go there, into the distance, forever, holding hands, and can no longer return, all your enemies, taking all your troubles!”
• image of a propeller from the m / f "The Kid and Carlson", the inscription: “May your life always be Carlsson, who lives on the roof and brings many valuable gifts!”

There are two winners in the competition:
First: the one who came up with the funniest birthday greeting (birthday girl);
Second: the one who read the inscription on the picture the funniest.

Competition No. 3 "Tell us about yourself: let's play cards"

1. The facilitator pulls out a card from the bag of questions, reads it out loud.

Competition No. 4 "Intuition"

Each player is put on a hoop with a certain figure on his head. It can be a fruit, a vegetable, a character, a famous person.

The task of the players, with the help of clarifying questions, to which they answer only “yes” or “no”, is to guess who he is.

Instead of hoops, you can make cardboard masks, then the game will turn out not only interesting, but also very funny.

Competition No. 5 "Long nose"

Everyone wears pre-prepared noses.

At the Leader's command, you need to pass a small ring from nose to nose, and at the same time a glass of water from hand to hand, trying not to spill a single drop.

The game is considered over when both the ring and the glass of water return to the "first" participant.
Whoever dropped the ring or spilled water gets a penalty phantom.

Competition No. 6 "Find a common"

Players are divided into teams.
The host shows three pictures that have something in common.
To motivate and cheer the teams, the condition can be this: the team that did not guess the answer drinks penalty glasses.

For example, one picture shows a jacuzzi, the second shows the Eiffel Tower, the third shows the periodic table. They are united by a surname, because each image is an object named after its creator.

Competition No. 7 "Hat for the birthday"

In a deep hat you need to put a lot of folded pieces of paper with laudatory descriptions of the birthday man (birthday girl), For example:
- smart (smart),
- beautiful (beautiful)
- slender (slender)
- talented (talented)
- economic (economic), and so on.

The guests are divided into pairs. One partner takes out a piece of paper, reads the word to himself and explains to his partner with the help of gestures what it means.
If the answer is not found, you can suggest one with words, but without naming the word itself, but describing its essence.
The team with the most correct answers wins.

You can't pair up. One person takes out a piece of paper and gestures the word, while others guess.
For each correct answer, the player receives one point.
The player with the most points wins.

Competition No. 8 "Get to the bottom of the truth"

A certain object, for example, a carrot, needs to be wrapped in several layers of foil.
Each layer is accompanied by a riddle or task.

If the guest guesses the correct answer or completes the task, he unfolds the first layer. If not, he passes the baton to a neighbor and receives a penalty phantom.

Whoever removes the last layer wins a prize.

Competition No. 9 "Gossip Girl"

This funny competition is more suitable for a small company, because you will need headphones for all participants. Or several volunteers may participate and others will oversee the process.
Players put on headphones and listen to music loudly so that extraneous sounds are not heard.
Without headphones, only the one who speaks the first phrase remains. It must be some secret about the birthday girl (birthday boy).
He speaks it loudly, but in such a way that it is impossible to hear all the words clearly.

The second player passes the phrase that he supposedly heard to the third, the third to the fourth, and so on.
Guests who have already broadcast "Birthday Gossip" can take off their headphones and watch what other participants end up broadcasting.
The last player voices the phrase that he heard, and the first one says the original.

Competition No. 10 "Second half"

Guests will have to include all their acting skills.
Each player chooses a piece of paper on which is written the role that he has to play.
The roles are paired: the goal is to find your partner as soon as possible.

For example, Romeo and Juliet: Juliet can perform the text: “I am standing on the balcony and waiting for my love” and so on.

Competition No. 11 "Joint Efforts"

The host offers to write a fairy tale about the birthday girl (birthday boy).

Everyone comes up with their own story, but on a common sheet, each player will write only one sentence.

The tale begins with the sentence "One fine day / es (name) was born."
The sheet is passed around.

The first person writes a sequel based on the first sentence.
The second person reads the sentence of the first, adds his own and folds the sheet of paper so that the third guest can see only the sentence that the person in front of him wrote.

Thus, the fairy tale is written until the sheet returns to the guest who first began writing it.

Together, you will get a very funny story about the hero of the occasion, which is then read aloud.

Competition No. 12 "Honest Answer"

One guest takes out a card from the deck with questions, and the one to whom the question is addressed - from the deck of answers.

We wish you a noisy, fun feast!

Watch the video with a very funny contest (watch time 4.5 minutes):

A birthday celebration should be truly interesting and memorable not only for the birthday person, but also for all invited guests. Therefore, the celebration program should include entertainment moments that will enliven the atmosphere of the holiday and allow guests to feel at ease and cheerful. We are talking about games and competitions at an adult birthday, which can be held both at the table and on the playgrounds of the banquet hall.

Entertainment without leaving the feast

Table games set the tone for the whole holiday, help guests get to know each other and serve as an excellent occasion for making regular toasts.

Our compliments

This game is played at the beginning of the banquet, after the first toasts. Its essence lies in the fact that the guests alternately say to the birthday man one compliment, expressed in the form of an adjective; words cannot be repeated. The one who gives the last compliment will be the winner of the competition.

Let's get acquainted!

One of the guests is given a roll of paper towels. Further, the task of each participant is to tear off as many small pieces from the roll as he wants and pass the roll to a neighbor. Everything must happen very quickly so that the roll goes around the entire table while the music is playing. After that, the guests are invited to count their pieces of paper - and each tells about himself as many interesting facts as he counted the pieces.

Funny synonyms

The host invites the guests to name synonyms for the word "drink". The one who pronounces the last synonym is declared the winner and makes a toast to the birthday man.

Like - don't like

Guests are invited to take turns pronouncing the phrase “I like the neighbor on the right ...” (a part of the body or an item of clothing is called) and dislike (the word is also called). After all the guests have spoken their phrases, they are invited to kiss what they like and bite what they don’t like. This game causes a cheerful revival in all its participants.

Nectar of funny wishes

The host gives one of the guests a glass; those present are invited to say an unusual wish for the birthday man and at the same time pour a little alcoholic drink into the glass, passing the vessel in a circle. The one who, with his gesture, fills the glass to the brim, makes a toast for the hero of the occasion and drinks "nectar" for the health of the host of the evening.

Mass games and contests

In order for the festive party not to turn into a feasting conversation, from time to time it needs to be enlivened with mobile entertainment, which is held on a conveniently located playground and involves a large number of participants. These are great birthday contests at home and on the street.

"I wish on my birthday..."

4-5 guests are invited to participate in the game. Each of them says: “I wish on my birthday ...” and continues the phrase with three wishes for the hero of the occasion. When all the wishes are said, each participant receives a lollipop. Now the contestants must repeat their wishes with a candy in their mouth (you can’t bite and swallow candies). Further, the number of sweets increases until one of the participants can no longer pronounce the phrase articulately: such a contestant is eliminated from the game, and the contest continues. The winner is the participant who "talks" everyone else with a mouth full of candies.

The smartest!

The host invites 10-12 guests to participate in the competition. Participants are located on both sides of the competition organizer at a distance of 3-5 meters from the table.

The game begins with the words of the host "Bring me from the table ... (the item is called)", after which the contestants must run to the table to the music, find the right thing and return to their place with it. The latecomer is out of the game. You can start the game with napkins, then the task becomes more complicated - among the items are called cell phones, watches, and so on; and closer to the final, participants are invited to bring socks or shoes.

An important condition of the competition: you can not bring your own things!

The winner is the one who reaches the final last. This game is equally liked by both the contestants and the spectators, who take an active part in it, helping the participants with the search for the right item.

Merry milkmen

Three teams of 3 people are invited to participate in this game. Each team is given a glass and a medical glove with pierced fingertips. Before the eyes of those present, the presenter fills the gloves with vodka (in fact, it is water, but neither the guests nor the contestants are aware of this). The gloves are tied and the game begins.

The task of the teams: while the music is playing, “milk” as much “milk” as possible. At the same time, one of the contestants holds the "udder", the second - a glass, and the third acts as a milker. The team whose “nada” is higher wins.

After that, the milkers raise their glasses to the health of the birthday boy. Since the participants think that the glass contains vodka, it is quite interesting to watch their faces as they consume the “alcoholic drink”, which is usually a lot in the glass!

Supermacho

The host invites three couples to participate in the competition. The conditions are as follows: while the music is playing, the ladies must, with the help of the other guests, put on their gentlemen as many items of clothing and accessories as possible; and the result should be the image of a "real macho". As a result, the number of items is recalculated (they are not removed!), and the audience must determine the winner.

Then comes the second, no less interesting, part of the competition: moving to an erotic melody, men take off their clothes and accessories. The "king of the striptease" is also determined by the audience.

Who is my husband?

5-6 married couples participate in the competition. The ladies are blindfolded, after which the men are seated on chairs with their backs to the participants, whose task is to find their mate in the following sequence: by nose, by hair, by hands, by eyebrows and by shoes. The winner is the couple in which the wife correctly identified her husband more times.

Concert from guests

This entertainment program is usually held in the middle of the festive evening and requires advance preparation. To do this, you need to attach creative tasks for guests under the seats of chairs in advance (for example: sing a song, read a verse, play a pantomime, and so on). At that moment, when the party is in full swing, the host announces that the guests have prepared a concert for the birthday boy, and invites those present to get and announce their "concert numbers". 5 minutes are given for preparation, and the entertainment program begins. Each "artist" receives a prize for his performance.

Let's have fun with the music!

Musical outdoor games set a lively tone for the holiday and serve as a kind of transition to a disco break, during which guests can dance; ladies - to put themselves in order, and men - to chat and smoke.

jumping orange

All guests are invited to sit on chairs close to each other and put their hands on the shoulders of their neighbors. The host puts an orange on the knees of the extreme participant. The task of the participants is, while the music is playing, to throw an orange to their neighbor as soon as possible without resorting to the help of their hands. The one who did not have time to get rid of the fruit is out of the game. The place of the eliminated is taken by the extreme contestant, and the game continues until there are a couple of winners left.

congratulatory rap

Three men are invited to participate in this music competition. All of them are given rapper caps and glasses, then the appropriate music is turned on, and they must take turns performing couplets-wishes to the birthday man in rap style.

To help the performers from the audience, girls are called to the support group, who must also move to the music and, if necessary, help the "artists". The winner is determined by the birthday man with the help of his guests.

Teetotal Contest

All guests stand in a large circle, and the presenter hands one of the participants a liter bottle of vodka. The participant's task is to have time to get rid of the bottle before the music stops. The one who did not have time is eliminated, and the competition continues. It's especially fun to watch the last two contestants as they struggle to hand the bottle to their opponent with a look of panic on their face. In this game, the loser receives a bottle of vodka as a consolation prize, while the winner receives the main prize - champagne with a portrait and autograph of the birthday man.

dance marathon

The host announces the name of the competition and invites all guests to line up one after another, after which he asks the question: “Does our (the name of the hero of the occasion is called) have a beautiful waist?” The guests answer: "Yes!" Then the host invites everyone to take the neighbor standing in front of the waist, and the guests dance the lambada. Then, according to the same principle, the guests take each other's hands and dance sirtaki. The list of musical compositions can include "dance of little ducklings", lezginka, "seven-forty" and other popular dances. The musical break ends with a "brook", leaving which the couples are invited to take their places at the table.
