Games for the hero of the day with guests. A selection of the best competitions for a birthday or corporate event

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

But the guests drank and ate... talked latest news from the lives of our loved ones and the country as a whole... we 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 options, 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 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 four Y-Y-L-B(you can agree to exclude the letter E as well).

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...
- Here it is...
- 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 describe its purpose in poetry, 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, grandma had a piece of ham worth two and a half kilos...” We advise the program compiler to come up with starting phrases in advance for different professions 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's what 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 in advance with the names of the animals 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 objects from masculine or women's wardrobe, items underwear or for the more 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 (slices of orange, 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)))

Two truths and a lie

This fun competition at the table for an adult company does not require 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.

Option for carrying out - everyone writes down their statements on pieces of paper, noting the false ones, give them to the host (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 one. 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 big 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 gets a point for each item found. For one named item, the team gets only one point (no matter how many five-thousandth bills the team members have, the team can only get one point for the item with 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 for one 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!

All guests are divided into several teams of 8 people. Each team is given a piece of paper (whatman paper or a piece of wallpaper). The presenter begins to tell the fairy tale “Teremok”. There was a mansion in the field, it was not low, not high, and in that mansion lived a squeaking mosquito, and each first member of the teams stands on his own leaf, then a clattering fly, and every second participant stands on the leaf next to the first, the violating mouse , and the third participant stands on the sheet and so on: the frog-frog, the bunny-runner, the little fox-sister, the top-gray-barrel and the bear. The task of each team is to fit all the heroes into their tower (sheet of paper). Someone can pick someone up, press them sideways, climb on their back, in general, all methods are allowed. Those who manage to fit everyone into the tower receive prizes, for example, delicious lollipops.

Yes or no

The host asks each guest an interesting question from the life of the birthday person, to which the answer is “yes” or “no.” Whoever gives the most correct answers will win and receive a prize.
Examples of questions:
The birthday boy loves prunes - yes or no?
Does the birthday boy have a driver's license - yes or no?
The birthday boy graduated from school with a gold medal - yes or no?
The birthday boy is great at chess - yes or no?
The birthday boy had measles as a child - yes or no?
The birthday boy knows 3 foreign languages ​​- yes or no?
The birthday boy dreams of a house in Switzerland - yes or no?

Two at the same time

The competition requires an even number of players and a presenter. All players are divided into pairs. Each couple is tied by the hands so that left hand one participant ends up tied to the right hand of the other participant, while the second hand remains free.
Next, each pair is assigned a task. For example, tie a gift with a bow. The couple that finishes it first is the winner.

Wardrobe update

For the competition you will need a large opaque bag in which various items of clothing will be placed. These items should be humorous, for example, you can put a cap, rompers, bras and other things with meaning.
The host invites guests to take one thing out of the bag to update their wardrobe. However, not all guests should pull out, but only those on whom the music stops. This means that the guests must pass the bag to each other to the music, and the one on whom the music stops takes one thing out of the bag and puts it on himself.

Potato

The competition is aimed primarily at the birthday boy. Place several potatoes on a chair and cover them with something. The birthday boy is invited to sit on the covered potatoes and fidget, and he must do this in order to ultimately determine how many potatoes lie under him.

Congratulations on the round date

The bravest ones take part. So, the guests take turns putting a round bagel in their mouth and saying short congratulations in two or three sentences. The guest congratulates, and the hero of the day “recognizes” the text of the congratulator. The guest whose congratulation with a bagel in his mouth is recognized literally by the hero of the day will win and receive a prize.

Bouquet for the hero of the day

Guests are divided into equal teams (5 or 7 people). Each participant receives a rose with the same number of thorns. At the “start” command, the teams begin to form a bouquet for the birthday boy - they remove the thorns from the roses. As soon as each participant frees their rose from the thorns, the team collects all the roses into a single bouquet and presents it to the hero of the day. The team that completes the task first will win and receive a prize, and the birthday boy will be extremely pleased to receive additional bouquets as a gift.

Experienced dumpling maker

Each participant receives an identical pan (bowl) filled with any cereal, for example, rice, in which the same number of dumplings (buttons) is hidden for everyone. Each participant is also given a slotted spoon - a tool of an experienced dumpling maker. At the command “start”, participants begin to look for and remove buttons using only a slotted spoon. The first participant to remove all the dumplings (buttons) from their pot will be the winner.

Preparing for the anniversary

Guests are divided into identical teams. Each team receives festive caps (on their heads) and balloons in accordance with the number of team members. The participants of each team stand in a separate circle and at the command “start”, starting from the first, each participant must put a festive cap on his head and inflate a balloon. As soon as the first participant puts on the cap and inflates the balloon, the second participant begins work - he also puts on the cap and inflates the balloon. And so on in a circle. The team that is the first to complete the task and put on all the caps and inflate all the balloons will be the winner.

Among friends

Guests are divided into teams with the same number of people. All teams stand in a separate circle. Participants take each other's hands and follow the leader's commands, for example, touch your nose, sit down sharply, dance the cancan, fly like an airplane, and so on. The main rule is not to hesitate and not to break the chain of hands. A participant who is slow in executing a command or takes his hand away from the hands of other participants is eliminated from the game. And the most artistic, cheerful and active participants are awarded prizes.

An anniversary is a grandiose event for which they prepare in advance by drawing up a script, inventing skits and competitions, taking into account all the nuances of the holiday.

One of the important parts of the entertainment program are competitions and games that are held for guests and the celebrants themselves.

Each competition will have a winner who will receive a small prize.

Active entertainment

At all such events, there comes a time when it is already difficult for guests to sit at the table - this is a time of active games and entertainment that will allow everyone to warm up and get recharged good mood and vigor.

Dance medley

This is a fun dance competition that can be held at the anniversary of any person, regardless of age, gender and the nature of the room where the celebration is taking place. There can be from 5 to 10 competitors.

All of them are seated in a row (semicircle) so that there is space between the chairs and all those gathered can see the dancers. At the command of the presenter, they turn on the music: a selection of dance melodies is played, well known to everyone - Lezginka, foxtrot, tango, waltz, etc.

Each segment lasts about 15–20 seconds, for which participants must show all their dancing skills without getting up from their chair. The winner is chosen by the public based on his ingenuity and skill.

Jubilee crocodile

This is one of the variations of everyone’s favorite game in which all invitees can take part. The hero of the day himself will be entrusted with coming up with tasks.

One of the teams receives a task, after which its representative tries to use gestures and facial expressions to explain to the other team what was planned.

Words that serve as tasks can be anything - they mean objects or concepts, monosyllables or whole phrases, for example, from famous songs.

The main restriction for those who perform pantomime is to never use their voice to explain, even if it is an irrelevant phrase.

Braid for the hero of the day

Two teams can take part in this game - men's and women's. Each team has three people. As props, you will need six long ribbons (at least 2 m), from which the teams will weave braids.

The hero of the day holds the ends of the ribbons in both hands - three on the left and right. The other ends of the tapes go to the participants in the game. In this case, the teams are on opposite sides of the birthday boy.

At the signal from the team leader, without letting go of the ribbon from their hands, they begin to weave their braid– ducking under other ribbons, bypassing each other, jumping over. The task of both teams is to get ahead of their opponents by completing the weaving first. The braids are left as a souvenir for the players.

Artistic modeling

This creative competition, which involves the participation of two teams. They can include both men and women. The participants’ task is to build a statue of the hero of the day from the given props.

To do this you will need 20 for each team. balloons, one felt-tip pen, a spool of thread and a roll of tape.

Teams begin sculpting at a signal from the leader - first the balloons are inflated, then tied and secured with tape.

Individual details and facial features are drawn with a felt-tip pen, and hair can be made from either thread or tape.

Both figures are then left as an additional present for the hero of the day. And the team that manages to achieve maximum similarity to the original wins.

Truck drivers

This relay competition will require two teams of 3-5 participants and 2 toy dump trucks with strings tied at the front to pull them.

Water is poured into the backs of the trucks and the teams line up in front of their lane. The participants' task is to guide the truck behind them, carefully overcoming obstacles without splashing the water.

When returning, the first player passes the “car” to the next one. Victory is awarded not only for the speed of the team, but also for the accuracy of the participants.

Entertainment without leaving your desk

The feast is an integral part of the anniversary celebration. However, sitting at the table, guests not only eat and drink, offering congratulations to the hero of the day.

The presenter must include in this part many different games and other entertainment that will not allow those gathered to get bored.

Competition "Nesmeyan"

Everyone remembers the fairy tale about the Little Princess. Its holding will amuse any company, lifting the spirits not only of the players, but also of the spectators, which will be all the other guests.

Everyone sitting at the same table is divided into two teams of half - one opposite the other. One of the parts is designated as “non-comedians”, and the second as “comedians”.

The first should take on as sad and dejected a look as possible, and the second should make them laugh by all means.

Each player who laughs joins the mixer team and brings confusion to his former team.

The means of “mixing” can be any - pantomimes, jokes, etc., except direct touches.

Congratulatory rocket

Sometimes you need to warm up a little without leaving the table - to stir up the guests so that the holiday does not lose the overall fun.

Depending on the number and location of tables, guests are divided into two teams.

The order of passing the baton is determined and the first member of each team is given a toy rocket.

At the leader’s signal, the participant must loudly say “Congratulations!”, and then pass the rocket to the next one. He says “Happy anniversary!” (and the third “Happy Holidays”, and then these three options are repeated) and passes the baton to the next one.

The winner is the team that is the first to complete a full circle and hand over the rocket model to the very first participant.

Firstborn

A competition to celebrate an anniversary, to which many married couples are invited. The presenter asks the participants to imagine that the first child has been born in their family.

A wife from the maternity hospital tries to tell her husband about the child. To do this, for each pair of participants you need to prepare one card with information - gender, weight, number of children and some phrase about the child and the mother herself. For example: “Girl, 3 kg, green eyes. I want ice cream."

Information is conveyed only by gestures for 3 minutes, and then the “dads” must voice what they understood from the pantomime. The winner is the couple where the man most accurately conveyed in words what the wife showed.

Letter compliments

This game, which is best played at the beginning of the holiday, will make the congratulations process not only enjoyable, but also interesting. And both for the birthday boy and for the guests themselves.

Each person in turn must say one word of compliment to the hero of the day. But the words cannot be any, but only those that begin with the first letter of the name of the birthday person.

If there are a lot of guests and there are not so many epithets for one letter, then you can name words for all the letters present in the name.

Taking turns changing clothes

The game can be played at an anniversary, where a large friendly company has gathered, in which everyone has a sufficient sense of humor.

To implement it, you will need an ordinary bag into which you put a variety of wardrobe items - headscarves, panties, bras, hats, knitted socks, etc.

At the signal from the host, which is the handing of the bag to the first player (the first at the table), the music is turned on. While she plays, the bag is passed from hand to hand one by one.

From time to time (after 15-30 seconds) the music suddenly stops. The one who has a bag in his hands must, without looking, take out one thing, put it on and wear it for half an hour.

Material wishes

The game is announced at the very beginning of the feast, so that all guests have time to complete the task. You will need a sheet of cardboard for each, a pen/pencil and scissors.

Before the end of the evening, each invitee must cut out a cardboard image of what he would like to give to the hero of the day. Gradually, all the “wishes” are collected together and strung on a thread in random order.

When this unique garland is ready, it is stretched out in front of the hero of the day at head level, having previously blindfolded him.

He chooses one gift at random and cuts it off the string - this item will definitely appear before next day birth. Additionally, the hero of the day tries to guess whose gift he chose.

Facts, just facts

This game is suitable for those companies where not everyone present knows each other. A perforated roll is used as a prop toilet paper, as well as pencils and pens.

All guests, when passing the roll, must tear off several pieces from it. There can be from 1 to 10.

After everyone has a piece of paper, guests write on it as many facts about themselves as the number of pieces they tore off.

Alphabet

These are again congratulations for the hero of the day, which guests will have to come up with, following certain rules. The basis of phrases for congratulations is the alphabet.

You need to come up with a congratulation phrase that begins first with the first, then with the second letter of the alphabet, and so on until the very last.

The first person sitting at the table starts with the letter “A”, for example, “Harlequin congratulates the hero of the day!” and so on.

In this game, it is advisable to choose the winner - the one whose congratulations were the funniest or most inventive (the letters b, b, y and others that do not begin words).

Whose shoe?

All guests will be forced to participate in this entertainment, especially if they are sitting at one large table. The main condition for the game is a long tablecloth that reaches almost to the floor.

The first participant is selected by drawing lots.

He must crawl under the table and take off someone’s shoes—a shoe, a shoe—and show them to those gathered.

If guests guess whose shoes it is, the owner pays for it with something funny - a handkerchief, chewing gum, and so on. The next “driver” is the first victim. The duration of the game depends on the number of guests.

Oh, what a bobblehead!

Very fun game, where guests will kiss a small toy - a baby doll, under the pretext of the host that this is our birthday boy who has just been born.

Moreover, you should name the place of the kiss and comment on it. For example, “I kiss his hand so that he will be strong.”

After all the guests have “kissed” the doll, the host announces the continuation- exactly in the place that was chosen by the player at the beginning, he must kiss his neighbor.

Many will refuse to complete the task. This can be done by “paying off” with a song, dance or poem.

It should be remembered that when choosing games or competitions for celebrating an anniversary, it is necessary to take into account the age (50, 55, 60 or 70 years) and the preferences of the hero of the day and his guests, as well as the characteristics of the place where the celebration takes place.

It is also very important to make entertainment program, based on who the hero of the day is - a man or a woman.

This is only at first glance; it seems that it will be difficult to entertain guests. But in reality it is not so difficult, and many have their own ways to do this. For example, the toastmaster immediately tries to get everyone drunk so that the guests become more cheerful and take part in games and competitions. Many presenters show mini numbers with dressing up and take part in them themselves. And some arrange a stand up so that guests can “load up” with humor and throw all their problems out of their heads. And so we can list for a long time, but we won’t. After all, we have our own ideas on how to entertain guests at an adult’s birthday party at the table. Your guests don't even have to leave the table to get the most out of the holiday.

The first thing we offer you is table games. In this article we will describe several such games, and if you like it and want to watch them all, then you are welcome here.
The first game is ear, nose.
These are the rules in this game. Guests take their left ear with their right hand. And with your left hand your nose. Have you taken everything? Now invite them to change hands. That is, take your nose with your right hand, and take your right ear with your left hand. Did everyone succeed? And so gradually increase the pace so that the guests change hands faster.
The second game - I love it.
In principle, this game can be called differently, we called it that, and soon you will understand why. The first player says the phrase: I love... and then what he loves. For example: I like to eat fruit. This means that the second player must say that he loves, but his sentence must begin with the last letter of the first participant’s phrase, that is, with the letter T (since there are no words with the letter Y). Below is an example of the game:
I love to eat fruits.
I love Stomping my feet.
I love playing tennis
I love sleeping standing
I love Japanese cuisine
And so on. The essence of the game is reminiscent of a city game. If you want, you can change the first phrase to a narrower one, for example, to: I always in the morning... or: one night I...
The narrower and more piquant the phrase, the more fun the guests’ responses will be.

After such harmless games, you can serve something hot. For example, play wish fulfillment. That is, you make cards and write fun tasks for guests on them. Whoever pulled out which card completes this task. Examples of tasks:
1. Take it calmly,
And don’t get mad right away.
Anecdote from you, friend,
So that there is... a lot of laughter!

2. Are you sitting well?
Is it so weak for you to dance?
You drive with your shoulders,
And show us the dance.

3. It’s time for you to say a toast,
You come up with it first.
What did you come up with? Fine!
Now crow him!

For your next entertainment, you need to try in advance. You need to draw proverbs and sayings on sheets of whatman paper. Yes, just draw it. That's how they're pronounced, that's how you draw them. Beauty is not important here, originality is important here. Then show your masterpieces to the guests one by one, and let the guests guess what proverbs you depicted.

Also, games called forfeits are going great. That is, these are the same tasks for guests. Just “softer” and not necessarily in verse. The main thing here is not the rhyme, but what the guests will need to do.
For example:
- put on a false mustache and wear it all evening.
- it suits you so well masquerade mask! Put it on immediately!
- Would you like to try on elf ears?
And so on. And this is just the beginning of the game, because in this way you will decorate all your guests. And when all the guests are beautiful, you can arrange an interesting and unforgettable photo session.

And finally, invite your guests to sing songs. Just not ordinary songs, but interesting and cool songs that have been remade. Look at the lyrics of these songs
