In our hearts, we all believe that there are never too many holidays, and funny and cool birthday contests for a fun company will help make this event even more memorable. You need to spend your birthday in such a way that you don’t regret the wasted efforts later, so that the guests speak of it gratefully for a long time after the celebration. Of course, not everyone can afford to call the toastmaster, and the leader from the outside knows the team, its talents and features less well. Therefore, it is worth putting various, funny and simple contests in your notebook in advance, with the help of which you can guarantee to amuse the guests without offending anyone. You also need to take care of necessary props, gifts to the winners.
Creative contests
Almost all creative family funny birthday contests are suitable for any venue for the celebration - both at home, and for nature, and for a restaurant or cafe, and for a sauna.
Like a chicken paw
Almost anyone can write by hand in any condition. But this epistolary activity can be approached creatively, as in this competition. The host calls a volunteer among the guests, who whispers any rather difficult word in his ear or invites the player himself to pull out a card with this word from the bag.
Next, he needs to write this word on paper, but only with his foot, inserting a felt-tip pen between his fingers. Spectators must guess from his scribbles what was guessed. The first person to guess what is written wins.
Understand me
This will require small tangerines that can fit entirely in a person’s mouth, as well as cards on which hard-to-pronounce words are written. The contestant puts a tangerine in his mouth, after which he tries to read aloud the words written on the cards, and the guests try to make out his sounds. Whoever guesses the most words will be the winner. Such contests may well be suitable for the birthday of grandparents.
Why did you come to the party?
The host prepares notes in advance with various frivolous answers written to the question “Why did you come to the holiday?”.
For example,
- Cry into your vest.
- Eat for free.
- Borrow money from the owners.
- There was simply nowhere to sleep tonight.
- I don't know why, but I have a date with a birthday boy.
He puts all the notes in a bag, and then goes around the guests, who should pull out a note and read its contents to his question about the purpose of his arrival.
Top secret
Each player receives a paper strip on which he must write something that he has not told anyone before. Everyone can remember some not very nice story about themselves, for example, stealing sweets in childhood. It is better to write in a distorted handwriting so that no one can guess from it who this confession belongs to. When everyone has written their confessions, the facilitator gathers them together and reads them out one by one. After each story, everyone tries to guess who it belongs to. If the guess is correct, then the author drinks a "penalty" and says "It could happen to anyone."
Let's congratulate everyone together (competition with inventing adjectives)
To conduct this fun, not vulgar contest, the host needs to write a small congratulatory text, in which all adjectives would be absent, leaving sufficient spaces in their places.
The presenter complains to those present at the table that he cannot find suitable adjectives in any way, and asks them to help him so that the holiday does not overshadow. In response to this, the guests begin to remember any adjectives, and the host writes them down. The task can be complicated to make the competition even more fun.
For example, a workpiece might look like this:
"________________ guests! Today we have gathered at this ________________, ________________ and ________________ holiday in order to congratulate our ________________, ________________ and ________________ birthday. The guests heartily congratulate and wish: ________________ health, ________________ mood, ________________ success! Today everyone is happy for you: your ________________ daughter, and ________________ relatives and friends, and ________________ friends, and your (your) ________________ wife (husband) does not take his ________________ eyes off you! Guests are delighted with your ________________ table, ________________ hospitality. Let's raise a glass to your ________________ well-being. And ________________ the guests will now shout in your honor ________________ “Hurrah!”.
Or this (you can change the birthday girl to the birthday boy):
“Before us sits (Name of the birthday girl)! She has only ________________ advantages, no ________________ disadvantages. It boasts a ________________, ________________, ________________ look. She has ________________ hair, ________________ eyes, ________________ figure, ________________ mind, ________________ intelligence, ________________ talent and ________________ survival in extreme situations. And we ________________ and ________________ love her for it! Today on this ________________ autumn (winter / spring / summer) day, we are your ________________, ________________ friends and ________________ relatives came to congratulate you on this ________________ holiday, your birthday. Today you celebrate a rather serious ________________ date. We wish you ________________ health, ________________ happiness, ________________ good luck, lots of ________________ money and all the best ________________. Your ________________, ________________, ________________ relatives and, of course, ________________, ________________, ________________ friends!”
Guests can be invited to select adjectives on a specific topic - legal, medical, erotic, etc.
Finishing touches
To conduct this competition, you need to multiply some unfinished drawing on the printer. Players are required to finish it, while using their unloved hand (usually the left). The winner is the one who correctly guesses which object was conceived in the drawing, and also brings his copy to the end better than others.
face dance
The funniest music competitions birthday parties can also take place right at the festive table. The presenter needs to pick up fragments of cheerful melodies, and ask the guests to dance a dance to a certain melody, but not the usual one - with their feet, but only with facial expressions. Participants in the fun can arbitrarily move their facial muscles, the best mimes can start with one part of the face, for example, eyebrows, then gradually connect other parts of the face to the “dance” until everything that can move on this part of the body dances. The participant with the most hilarious pantomime is declared the winner.
Harmonic
The host gives the first participant in the competition a sheet of paper, on which he must continue the poetic congratulations to the birthday man and sets the initial phrase, for example, “Our Peter Ivanovich is well done.” Having written his line in rhyme, the first player wraps the paper, hiding what is written from everyone except the neighbor, and passes it around. The following members also come up with lines to rhyme with the opening phrase. It turns out that the versifier sees only the previous phrase, but not what was written before.
After all the “poets” have been marked on paper, the presenter takes it away and reads an ode dedicated to the birthday man with an expression.
paint a portrait
Creative funny contests can leave a gallery of unforgettable portraits painted by the guests of the holiday for the birthday man. Each person is given a sheet of paper and a felt-tip pen, while their hands are tied behind their backs. Artists must write a portrait of the hero of the occasion, holding a felt-tip pen in their teeth. The birthday boy himself chooses the one he likes from all the "canvases" and awards his author with a prize.
Answer faster than your neighbor
The contestants must stand in a circle, and in its center is the host, who randomly turns to any of the players and asks the most unexpected question, looking intently at the person sitting opposite. But he should not answer, but his neighbor, sitting on the right. If the person whom the host is looking at answers, then he is eliminated from the competition. Also, if the right neighbor does not figure out in time that it is he who should answer, he also leaves.
The competition continues until, in addition to the host, there is only one player left who has the right to claim a small prize.
writing competition
Players sit in a circle and each receive a piece of blank paper and a pen. The host then asks “Who?”, And everyone together writes someone’s name at the top of their sheet, after which they fold a strip of sheet with a written fragment of text inward so that what is written is not visible, and pass the sheet to their right neighbor. A new question follows from the host “Where did you go” and the actions of the players are repeated. So, gradually the host asks all the prepared questions, and the players write their stories on different pieces of paper.
This competition is very popular, because when you read each leaflet together at the end, you get very funny stories that cause a storm of laughter.
Gossip
This competition requires headphones for each participant, so small companies usually participate in it, and most often this very fun competition is interesting for teenagers. So each participant puts on headphones that play loud music so they can't really hear what's going on around them. Only the host, who speaks the first phrase, does not have headphones. Usually it hides some secret concerning the birthday man. The first player needs to pronounce the phrase loudly, however, the participant deafened by the music will be able to hear only parts of it. Then he also loudly conveys what he heard to his neighbor, who - to the next, and so on.
Players who have already broadcast the “gossip” about the birthday boy can take off their headphones and, together with the rest of the guests, listen to how this gossip changes before their eyes. In the end, the last player pronounces the final version of the gossip, and the host reminds everyone of her original.
Fire
All players participating in the competition are given a couple of sheets of paper and informed that there was a fire in their house. Players must decide which item they would rescue first and draw or write that item on the first sheet. On the second sheet, they must indicate the reason for this preference. Then the papers are folded into two boxes: in one - objects / people, and in the other - motives. It is desirable that the guests write not trivial things, but treat the task with humor.
After that, the facilitator randomly pulls out a piece of paper from the boxes, first shows the image / name of the item, and then an explanation of why it should be saved. Funny phrases are obtained, for example, "I will save my mother-in-law, because it is pleasant to walk on it."
mobile contests
labyrinth
This entertainment requires one player, and the leader will need a long rope, from which he will lay out a labyrinth on the floor. The player is blindfolded and offered to go through this maze, while the guests will tell him the direction in which to move. But as soon as the player's eyes are blindfolded, the rope is immediately removed, and the audience makes fun of the intricate trajectory of the player, which they themselves set.
dress me up
funny contests for young people are often associated with dressing and undressing. AT this case you will need women's and men's clothing, both upper and lower. Items for ladies are put in one bag, and for gentlemen - in another. A boy and a girl participate in the competition, as well as two assistants for each. The host gives each team a bag of clothes (it will be more fun if a woman gets men's items, and a man - women's). Then both teams are given a minute, during which the assistants must remove the clothes from the bag and put them on their “mannequin”. The winner is the one who coped faster or did it more accurately.
Quack quack
All guests sit on chairs set in a circle (the more, the better). The leader becomes the center of the circle, who is blindfolded, handed him a pillow and spun around its axis. At this time, those present randomly change places. A disoriented blind driver begins to look for the knees of the players, but he must do this with a pillow, without touching people with his hands. Having found someone's knees, the driver calmly sits down on them, and the player on whom he sat down must say “quack-quack” in a modified voice. By the sound of the voice, the driver must guess on whose knees he landed. If he guesses correctly, he concedes to him the position of the driver, and if not, then he returns to the center of the circle and the game is repeated.
Diver
The "victim" of this fun competition can be both men and women. The participant needs to put on fins and overcome the distance in them, looking forward through the binoculars, turned upside down.
Believe me, it is not so easy to do this, and the laughter will stand for a long time! So this birthday contest can be considered one of the most hilarious.
Find a birthday boy
The host blindfolds the participants of the competition and seats them in the order he needs so that no one knows where he is sitting himself and who his neighbors are. All guests have warm mittens on their hands, and with such hands you need to identify your left neighbor by touch, feeling only his face and head. Wool tickles and already causes laughter, by which you can guess who is sitting next door.
Everyone has only one chance to name a person, and the common task for everyone is to find a birthday among them. As soon as the hero of the occasion is discovered, the game ends, but he may also be the last one. Those who incorrectly guessed their left neighbor are punished with a phantom, which they pull out of a box or bag and perform in public.
Balloon blowing
The host puts an inflatable ball in the center of the table and blindfolds the eyes of two participants in the competition, after which he seats them on opposite sides of the table. He explains to them that they should try to blow the ball to the opponent's side. At the same time, he quietly replaces the ball with a plate with a slide filled with flour. On command, the blinded players begin to blow on the alleged ball with all their might, raise a cloud of flour suspension, and when they untie their eyes, they stare dumbfounded at their powdered faces. Agree, this will be one of the most fun and unforgettable birthday contests. For a long time you will have something to remember!
Compliments for the birthday
You need to find a deep hat in which to put a lot of folded pieces of paper on which laudatory epithets are written for the birthday man: handsome, smart, economic, talented, slender, etc. All participants in the competition need to be divided into pairs: one will pull out a piece of paper, read the word to himself , and he must explain to his partner with gestures what the word is. If the partner does not guess, then you can use suggestive hints that do not name the word itself.
Each correct answer is awarded one point. The couple with the most points wins, meaning they can guess the most words.

It is the parents who prepare the celebration program, the festive menu and the decoration of the room for the birthday boy and his little guests.
Behind this fuss, they forget about another category of guests - the parents of these children that will lead them to the feast and will surely stay until its end. As a standard, adults watch the children from the table, talking on secular topics with other parents and tasting dishes carefully prepared by the hosts of the evening. You can’t call such a pastime particularly interesting, but there are entertainments that can bring all adults together and create a closer bond between them and children.
Holiday program for children
And yet, for starters, it’s worth developing a holiday script for the birthday boy. In the case of young children under 7 years old, entertainment like searching for “treasures” or investigating a case is easy to do. about the “missing” birthday cake. Ideas for such scenarios can come up with great amount, and you don’t even have to order animators and spend money on props.
For example, in the missing birthday cake scenario, you just need to prepare the box in which this cake supposedly should be, a note from the "kidnapper" and the toy thief himself. A treat can be “stealed” by a doll, the baby’s favorite robot, or even a real character in which one of the parents will dress up. It is necessary to frame the case in such a way that the children completed the tasks of this "thieves" while having fun in competitions.
When inviting an animator or dressing up as a character yourself, find out from the children who they are into. For the effect of interaction with the character to be positive, it must be recognizable and loved by children.
In the end, the kids, of course, will receive long-awaited delicacy and a sea of positive emotions from past contests, pretty tired and giving their parents a break. Adults themselves can also participate in the production, playing other characters or simply helping the guys through the tests of the “cake thief”. This will help rally parents and their children, for which adults will also tell you later. thank you very much .
Possible ideas for competitions for children
Beyond the main scenario children's birthday must necessarily consist of contests that are interesting to children. They can be quite budgetary, but they will still bring a lot of joy to kids. A few ideas for entertainment that will suit children from 2 to 10 years old.
crazy egg
The essence of the game is to transfer the colored egg in a teaspoon from one plate to another. For the competition, you will need to buy plastic plates, boil and paint two dozen eggs, prepare teaspoons and put two pairs of stools on opposite sides of the room. Two teams of children will have to move all the eggs for a while without dropping a single one, and the team with the most eggs by the end of the competition wins.
Help me pick up the leaves
Some character, perhaps the birthday boy's favorite toy, asks the kids to collect for her all the leaves scattered on the floor. For special leaves, she will give a sweet prize, they will be marked with a special icon on the back. For the game you have to cut a few dozen leaves from thick colored paper and affix a special symbol on some.
This idea can be made more useful and educational for kids if you write letters on the back of all the leaves and ask them to find, for example, only vowels. For musical kids, you can draw notes.
Mr. Frankenstein
Don't let this name scare you. the essence of the game is harmless: children take turns with eyes closed will try to attach a part of the character's body to his image on the poster. The character can be absolutely anything, and you will need to make multiple body parts- nose, ears, mouth and so on. It is better to do the drawing on whatman paper, so that it is convenient for the child to attach another leaflet with plasticine or a button.
Wind, wind, you are mighty
In this game, the guys must move your ball faster from one part of the room to another, but this can only be done by blowing on the balloon. The competition area must be clean and spacious enough for the little ones to roll on the floor and blow on their balloons. For the game it is enough to prepare a dozen fairly dense balls, leaving some in reserve, and the award "For the mighty breath."
Book antonyms
This contest will be able to “kill” three “birds with one stone” at once: help in the development of the thought process in kids, increase interest in books and cheer them up at the holiday. The essence of the game is that the presenter pronounces the name of the book or fairy tale, but using only antonyms. The game has the following options:

Gift for everyone

To do this, you need to blindfold all the guys, unwind them and give them the opportunity to pull a gift for themselves from the ribbon hung in advance. Can be used as gifts key chains, stickers, pens and small toys.
Little wizards

After that, the kids take turns pulling out pieces of paper with desires and fulfilling them: dancing, reciting a verse, hugging everyone present, and so on. This game will especially appeal to the kids if parents also participate in it, because you can see them in an informal setting.
Birthday decorations
Not only sweets, but also pleasant speeches can to please the hero of the occasion that can be organized into one competition. To do this, you will have to prepare a small rope and a certain number of bagels for each child. The kids will take turns stringing dryers and say something nice to the birthday boy, and the participant with the most rings on the "beads" wins.
Be sure to give the children a break between competitions so that they are not capricious and have time to participate in each. Try to arrange the contests from the most active to the quietest, inserting a tea party between them. At the end of the evening, be sure to treat each kid with a piece of birthday cake.
Guessing the classics
Children nowadays watch and read significant amount works, and some of them are considered classics. Invite the children to play guessing phrases from popular cartoons, songs, books and films that have already become classics. Options may include:
- What do you want old man?- The story of the Golden Fish.

Holiday program for adults
Surely you would also like to spend your baby's holiday fun and easy, like in childhood, and this can be arranged with the help of adult competitions and entertainment. Although parents should look after their child, they have the right to relax and have fun, having received their own separate holiday program. Games during children's competitions will not be possible, but While the kids are relaxing, adults can have fun.
At the same time, while the children are playing with the animator, you can invite adults, especially if they are family friends or relatives, to watch a video. It is not at all difficult to mount a clip from photos and video cuts to children's music, taking into account current technologies. You can either download a special program to your computer and use the editing lessons, or give this work to a special agency.

In general, competitions for children and their parents can be safely alternate one after another, giving each group the opportunity to relax and refresh themselves at the festive table. It will be especially convenient if children and adults are prepared two separate tables, and mom and dad of the birthday boy will pay attention to their table. If one of your couple is not ready to play with the children in the evening, they can take turns.
For parents and especially adult children - brothers and sisters of babies, there will be interesting board games. You can place a designated area for one or two board games so that those who wish can relax there.
Possible ideas for adult contests
Adults also like to participate in competitions, but children's ones are not suitable for them. Therefore, for everyone over fifteen, it is worth preparing separate entertainment. It can be any idea from the following.

Grandma Vanga
Quite an unusual game can be called this one, where relatives try to guess how will the birthday boy grow in the future. For this, it is necessary to prepare whatman paper about A3 in size and draw a table on it with the age of the child and the names of the guests. In the cells of their column, guests will write predictions about anything: growth, character traits, hobbies, and more.

Of course, predictions will be in each cell, and if there are a lot of guests, then you should really choose big drawing paper. After filling the table completely, fold and pack the paper well, hiding it for several years. Give it to the birthday boy for the age of majority so that he can periodically check it and note which of the prophecies came true.

Sweet Nothing
The Russian language is multifaceted and interesting, and adults know how to handle it, inventing really weird words. Especially often people like to come up with diminutive versions of names, on which this competition will be based. Participants need to call the affectionate version of the name of the hero of the occasion in a circle: Vanya, Vanyushka, Vanya and so on.
The winner will be the one who can be the last to come up with their own version of the name. As a gift, he can rely on a drawn card from the birthday man with warm words.
Smart Dad, Smart Mom
It will be extremely interesting for children to watch how their parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles trying to do funny things, so this competition is simply necessary for a children's holiday. Its execution is simple:
- Buy and inflate in advance enough dense balloons so that there are plenty of them for everyone involved.
- Scatter the balls all over the floor. You can draw mocking faces on them or encouraging phrases like “You can!”.

The winner who holds the most balls give a notebook or a postcard.
For one person
If you are young parents, you can try find your baby photos, as well as photos of nephews and, of course, children. If the quality of the photographs is not too different, then it will be difficult to guess who is depicted in the portrait. Such a game can well entice adults during children's competitions.
If necessary, you can deliberately "age" recent photos of children using image editors or third-party services. There you can remove the sharpness of the photo, change its color and add "noise".
Falling back into childhood
Every parent must have experienced an incredible feeling of irritation when a baby spit out a freshly washed and scalded pacifier. Now adults can feel like babies spitting nipples as far as possible and marking their length with chopsticks. For this, nipples will have to be purchased in advance, not forgetting them. sterilize each time before putting in your mouth.
Unlike children, adults are not always ready to entertain themselves with ridiculous tasks, so try not to be too intrusive. Be sympathetic to the fact that some guests feel insecure or simply out of sorts, giving them the opportunity to enjoy delicious food in peace. As the hosts of the evening, you must be courteous and attentive to each invited person, allowing him to rest in a calm atmosphere.
Possible ideas for joint competitions for children and adults
Unlike many previous ones, these competitions are aimed at joint pastime of adults and children. Such games bring together and are the "cherry" of every children's holiday, because adults have long wanted to relax, and children are interested in seeing their parents in an unusual role. Such games should be diluted with children's and adult tasks.
My mighty dad
Many children are proud of how strong and agile their dads are, and this competition will help emerge as a better father, delivering a sea of laughter to mothers. Popes should put a child on your back and crawl, jump and jump from one end of the room to the other on all fours. The winner is the one who will carry his baby first without dropping him (because then he will receive from his mother).
Cacophony
If you want to defuse the atmosphere of the holiday and have the opportunity to make a lot of noise, collect a set of henchmen « musical instruments» and distribute one to each guest. The list of such tools can include:
- Iron pans;
- Metal lids from frying pans;
- Tin cans in which a trifle is poured;
- Glass glasses combined with chopsticks;
- cabinet doors;
- Not very thick countertops that can sound like a drum.
The list could go on and on, including real instruments if they are available at home. They will come down for business toy drums, whistles and children's xylophones, that sound unprofessional. The essence of the task is simple: create your own orchestra or how best to play along with a famous song.
This game will allow you to throw out tension, completely relax and cheer up even the most decadent mood.

Couples are required to participate: men and women. The task of this competition is not to find winners, but to cheer the guests.
A man and a woman supposedly get into a situation where they become parents. The newly-made daddy really wants to know who was born to him, ask a lot of questions. With his wife there is an opportunity to communicate only through thick soundproof glass. The woman's task is to answer the man's questions with gestures.
Prizes can be awarded not for victory, but for participation.
"Balloons"
Two girls must be attracted to participate in the competition. Pre-prepared and already inflated balloons should be scattered around the hall. For each girl, it is best to assign a mentor who will monitor success and achievements.
The task of the girls is to burst as many balloons as possible to the music, however, according to the rules of the competition, it is forbidden to do this with your hands. The winner is the one that bursts more balloons in a certain time.
Required Attributes: bandages to tie hands, balloons.
The prize for the winning girl can be any little thing: hygienic lipstick, comb, mug or plate.
"Birthday congratulations"
The competition is held for all those sitting at the table. Everyone in turn should wish the birthday man one thing. You can't repeat.
The participant who says the most congratulations wins. The rest drop out one at a time if they can't remember anything new and original.
"While the match is burning"
While the match is burning, the participant must tell his story of meeting the birthday man as colorfully as possible. All guests are welcome to participate.
Matches are lit in turn: one goes out, another lights up. When everyone is in a hurry, stammering and stuttering will be extremely fun. Or maybe someone will stir up something extra? Interesting to listen and have fun.
"Flying Walk"
The birthday boy is taken to one end of the hall, and the guests go to the other. Each of the guests includes different music, to which they must demonstrate their gait.
Heading to the birthday man with a flying gait, the task of the guest is to kiss the hero of the occasion and return back. The competition implies maximum attention to the person who will have a birthday, and the musical walk of the participants will cheer everyone up.
"Defective Congratulation"
In advance, you need to prepare a lot of postcards on which there are congratulations in verse. The more complex the rhyme, the better.
Each participant is given two sweets, which, according to the rules of the competition, must be placed on both cheeks. The task of the participant is to read the congratulation with the expression. The prize will be given to the person who makes the guests laugh the most.
Chupa Chups is perfect as a prize for participation.
"Poison Bite"
All contestants are allegedly bitten by a venomous snake in the leg. Since life is full of fun, they should not despair, but dance.
Dancing participants first learn that their legs are numb. You can’t move the numb parts of the body, but you need to continue to dance. And so from head to toe. The winner is the one whose dance was the most incendiary no matter what.
Incentive prizes and the main present for the victory must be made unequal. For example, for participation - mugs, and for the victory - a bottle of champagne.
"Learn by ear"
It's time to test the birthday boy on how well he knows his guests. The voices of relatives and friends can be recognized from thousands. Shall we try? The birthday boy is turned back to the guests.
Each guest calls the name of the hero of the day in turn. You need to know whose voice it is. Since the members will be changing their voices, it will be a lot of fun.
Now you understand what kind of entertainment will make your birthday unforgettable?
In advance, you need to choose more favorite contests. Prepare all the necessary attributes, as well as prizes.
Decide who will run the competition. It is best to choose the most cheerful person from the whole company, who can provoke people and attract the attention of the public. The birthday will be great if everyone takes part in the ongoing games and competitions.
Don't forget to come to good mood, it will surely be passed on to everyone around. Give a smile to people and get them in return. The exchange of positive energy will set everyone on the right track.
Follow some simple but helpful tips:
- Clearly formulate the conditions, explain the tasks to the participants, ask again if they understood you.
- Write down all competitions on paper. So you will not forget their sequence, what they are, what presentations are prepared for them, as well as attributes. This will provide convenience to you personally.
- Don't force people who don't want to participate. Everyone may have their own reasons for this, perhaps a person is shy, or maybe his mood has not yet reached that high level when he wants to rejoice himself and share this joy, win and be involved in everything.
- Decide in advance on the budget that will be directed to the purchase of prizes. It is better to buy more than less. It is impossible to allow the possibility of leaving someone without a well-deserved prize.
- Between each competition, do not forget to pay attention to the birthday man. Dilute the evening with jokes, congratulations and dancing.
- Alternate outdoor competitions with mental ones, give the participants time to rest. You can first hold a dance, and then a competition at the table.
- Feel confident while doing it. If the leader has a fear of speaking, then what can we say about the participants.
- Support the participants and ask the observing guests to do the same. The unity of those invited will benefit everyone, especially if not everyone knows each other well.
- If you have such an opportunity, then participate yourself. You set an example for all guests. Have fun to the fullest.
- Praise and thank you for participating.
No matter how old you are, birthday is a holiday that remains a favorite at any age. Spend it, coming off in full, because that's exactly how highlights interesting and wonderful life.
Drop rules like “The main thing is not winning - the main thing is participation”, go to the end, win, get prizes. Let them not be too valuable, but very pleasant. It is from such small victories that big ones begin.
And in conclusion, we invite you to watch a test for real men called "Earth in the porthole" as well as other fun birthday contests for adults on video:
If you work in a friendly team that loves good parties, then contests for cheerful company you will definitely need it. And if you just throw parties for your friends or children from time to time, then you know what kind of honor they are interesting contests, especially when people in the company are not very familiar with each other, but you still want to overcome embarrassment.
Many people (we will not point fingers, but most often these are not our most positive comrades) sometimes ask the question - why all these contests? Usually I get off with jokes or weightily answer that otherwise it will be boring. In fact, the reason, of course, is not boredom. Any holiday for adults most often involves alcohol, and in order for guests not to be too zealous with breastfeeding, they need to be a little distracted, amused, and simply raised to dance.
Another important aspect- embarrassment, I often encounter this when I throw a party for my children or nephews. They have already gone beyond the age when you can just come up and start playing together, and when children who are unfamiliar with each other are in the same company, you need to help them overcome a little chill in communication.
The only place where you can do without additional entertainment is a youth party in a good club, where it’s not boring without fun competitions for adults, and it’s better to help any company of adults to spend time with pleasure and fun.
Training
Do not think that you will be able to prepare the entire party, including adult board games literally at the last second. I usually set aside a few days for this, because it will require:
- write a script;
- select contests for adults;
- find or buy props;
- stock up on small prizes for the winners;
- minimally rehearse (for example, if it is assumed that several large aunts from the accounting department will compete in bag jumping, then you need to check in advance whether the room can withstand such a scale and whether there is where to turn around).
Ideally, you need an assistant for all this.
Birthday Toast Game
How to prepare fun birthday contests? It is best if they are at least a little connected with the hero of the occasion. An example of the simplest birthday word game is, compiled right there at the table.
What is required for this entertainment? A pen and a postcard in which you need to write a congratulatory text in advance, making gaps instead of adjectives - you will fill them in together with the guests.
The text of the blank for congratulating the birthday man:
Those who do not know what should happen in the end will diligently praise the hero of the occasion, listing him best qualities(young, smart, handsome, experienced), and those who are a little more familiar with this type of table creativity will surely screw up something sudden and caustic.
While the guests are praising the birthday boy, you diligently fill in the words instead of the missing adjectives, and then read the result loudly and with expression to the friendly laughter of the whole company.
Pick up one or two outdoor games on your birthday - for example, a small quest that can be arranged anywhere. Don't make it too long, three to five steps will be enough.
By the way, if you have enough courage, then try to make the main subject of the quest the key, on which the banquet hall is closed.
Good funny birthday contests also come from the usual restrictions - playing with forks makes guests moan with laughter. To hold this contest, you need to take a few ordinary items (if you are organizing a game on your birthday, these can be especially durable gifts that cannot be scratched or broken) and two dinner forks, as well as a thick scarf. The hero of the occasion is blindfolded, given forks, with which he can touch this or that object, and offered to guess what is in front of him.
Children's or teenage holiday? Fun competitions for teenagers will help to defuse the situation no worse than competitions for adults. Fun entertainment can be done with four bananas and a stool (a coffee table will do). The essence is simple - you need to get on all fours, and using only your teeth to clean and eat a banana for a while.
Good contests for young people should be fun and very funny. Competitions for teenagers can also be theatrical. Prepare several sets of props (ordinary household items in unexpected combinations - for example, a hairbrush, a burnt out light bulb and a cape on a chair in one set, and in another a mop, a soft toy and a bright plastic cup), as well as prepare several titles of popular films, focus on your audience - it is better to take what is familiar to everyone.
The essence of the task is to act out a scene from the movie using props. The winners are determined by applause.
"Seated entertainment" at the table
But what if mobile contests for a feast are not suitable? In this situation, it is better to pick up something neutral - the usual word games at the table like "crocodile" go very, very well.
The game "In my pants"
Take ready-made or come up with your own contests for adults - for example, you can use the idea "I'm in my pants."
You don't need to declare a name. The guests sit at the table, each tells his neighbor on the right the name of the film that came to his mind. And he remembers what his neighbor will tell him.
And then the facilitator announces: Now each of you in turn will say the following aloud: "In my pants...", and then - the name of the movie that your neighbor told you.
All guests speak in turn. It will be funny if someone has “Office Romance” or “300 Spartans” in their pants.
i-games
Fun table contests can be based on anything. For example, there are several varieties of "I"-games. One is predominantly teenage - in it two players compete to see how many candies fit in their mouths, after each candy you need to more or less clearly pronounce any stupid phrase, for example, "I'm a fat-cheeked lip-slapper."
The adult version of the game is slightly different - guests must introduce themselves (pronounce the word "I") in a circle until one of them gets confused or distracted (by the way, laughter is also considered a defeat), and the host invites other guests to give him a funny nickname.
After that, the fun begins, which unites all table contests like a chain reaction - it can be very difficult not to laugh, and after a couple of minutes everyone has a nickname that he introduces himself to (for example: “I am a furry pseudopod”, “I am a cheerful armpit”, “I am a rosy-cheeked lip-slap”, etc.)
In the next round, the laugher is given a second nickname, and he must pronounce it in full (“I am a furry pseudopod - green Chingachgook”).
Usually this game ends on the fourth round because everyone is laughing! This competition is best done when the guests are already a little "on the fun".
Not only birthday contests are remembered by guests, but also the end of the evening. At any party, it would be appropriate to pay a little attention to the guests, for preparation you will need several balloons (according to the number of those present, plus a few in reserve), and notes with good rhyming wishes - when the invitees begin to disperse or you need to change their mood to a more positive one, invite the guests to choose their own balloon fate and burst it.
Collective readings good wishes usually accompanied by good-natured laughter and cheer up everyone.
Sample wishes can be downloaded below, and then printed and cut:
Over time, you will collect your own collection of cool birthday contests and, according to the mood of the guests, you will understand which contests for the holiday will go with a bang, and which are better to arrange in a light drunk.
Save yourself universal competitions for the company - so you can be sure that in any situation you will find something to do. If you are a novice presenter and do not have much experience, then it is better to have a separate notebook for board games and contests, as well as prepare props - for example, some games require sets of cards with recorded song or movie names.
As a rule, competitions for drunk company they are often very obscene, and this is understandable - adults become liberated when drunk.
The game "Why did I come here"
Prepare entertainment that involves dancing or hugging, so that guests can express all the warmth of feelings in an appropriate way.
Game "I'll tell you a secret"
An interesting entertainment for which you need to prepare a little - "I'll tell you a secret." What is the essence of the game? Everything is very simple - each of the guests pulls out cards from a hat with a funny text prepared in advance in verse (here you have to try). All cards begin with the words “I’ll tell you a secret”, and then options are already possible, for example:
- I’ll tell you in secret that I don’t wear underwear, if you have doubts, now I’ll show you;
- I’ll tell you a secret, I’m on a diet, I eat only grass, I don’t look at cutlets.
If you're looking for moving contests like best dance or running around chairs, make sure there's enough space around for people of all sizes to feel comfortable.
Prefer contests for a small company? It happens that you need party contests, but it definitely won’t be too big company, try to play something intimate and not requiring a lot of people. These can be text games and contests for a small company, or verbal ones, for example:
- burime;
- writing a fairy tale line by line;
- forfeits.
Changeling Games
Invite guests to guess the lines from the songs. Examples can be downloaded here:
or TV show titles:
But karaoke contests are a great kind of entertainment for a large company of adults, and the older, the more soulful the game. It is necessary to select several participants, as well as establish a jury (usually all the guests who gathered at the birthday table play its role).
And then there is a regular karaoke duel, but each participant must not only perform a song, but also artistically present it - you can play imaginary instruments, use simple props and invite "spectators". Good mood is guaranteed for everyone!
In general, if you need to celebrate a birthday at home, karaoke is a great way to entertain a motley company at the table. It often happens that elderly relatives and young people meet at a birthday party, and people who are simply not very familiar with each other - song games will help unite everyone, and over tea and cake you can play board games - fortunately, now there are enough of them.
If you decide to prepare interesting entertainment and games for a drunk company, then it is better to refrain from what can be perceived as offensive - unfortunately, people do not always separate the gaming genre from reality, especially if they are not sober, which often happens in the company of friends and friends on holidays. Choose the most neutral of your fun table contests, and have a fun gaming toast ready to help you change the subject in the event of the slightest negativity.
You should not stock up too many contests, a person who plays all evening gets tired, whether he is at least drunk, at least sober, but sometimes everyone will be happy to play between toasts and table conversations once or twice. The most interesting will be those competitions in which there was good preparation and organization - people love it when they are taken care of.
In my personal piggy bank there are about fifty different fun games, and I can’t say that this is a lot or a little - birthday contests for children are not used as games for a company of adults.
Now you have ready-made contests for adults, and enough ideas to come up with your own contest for a birthday or any other holiday that you want to make special!
Competitions can also be included in the program of the New Year scenario or any other holidays for adults.
