Adult games and competitions in nature, in the countryside, in the forest

Link to the first selection of outdoor activities

Everyone loves outdoor recreation. Fresh air, delicious food and fun entertainment will make a simple picnic a great time. If everything is clear with the first two points, then you will have to work hard with the third. How to choose and organize leisure time correctly in order to have fun and not get discouraged? This is what we will talk about now.

In order to properly organize your vacation and choose suitable entertainment, you need to decide how exactly you want to spend your time. There are many different variations of outdoor recreation.

The first option is the simplest - relaxation without entertainment. It is enough to organize a picnic and just enjoy the surrounding beauty and clean air. But only after all the goodies have been eaten and there is nothing to do - the vacation will quickly become dull and will not bring bright impressions. However, such a pastime cannot be ruled out - after all, everyone has different tastes and sometimes you just want to relax.

The second option is suitable for lovers of active recreation. It is enough to dilute your leisure time in nature with various sports games. You can play volleyball, football or badminton.

The third option is somewhat unusual, but very interesting. Various quests, paintball and airsoft will give you unforgettable emotions and vivid impressions.

The fourth option is the most popular and interesting. Diversify your leisure time with competitions. Absolutely everyone can take part. It is enough to prepare an exciting program.

It is the last option that we will talk about in more detail. Below are some interesting outdoor competitions for adults that will be a pleasant addition to your picnic.

Competition "Guess Who"

Perfect for a noisy and cheerful company. The competition goes like this. One of the guys needs to be blindfolded. Girls are hardly lined up. The guy must determine who is in front of him using any means available. Girls, in turn, are not allowed to say a word or do anything that could give them away.

All the guys are blindfolded in turn, and the girls are swapped. After all participants have voiced their answers, the number of points for each player is calculated and the winner is determined.

Then we do the opposite - we blindfold the girls.

Cultural and entertainment birthday party in nature

To prevent the feast from turning into a banal drinking session, we think through fun competitions and other entertainment in advance. If it’s not so difficult to deal with food, then sometimes there are problems with the cultural program. But we celebrate our birthday in nature; there is a lot of room for implementing various ideas.

And you know, in order to have a great time, organize people, you don’t need to hire a toastmaster, you don’t need to have any special abilities. And you just need to sit down, type in the search “ fun birthday contests ” and choose what is really suitable for your company.

Competition "Beer Checkers"

To carry it out, you need to draw a kind of chessboard with chalk or paint on the asphalt or grass. In each cell you need to place a small glass of beer (for the more daring, you can put cans or bottles of beer). Of course, the packaging should be different.

The players take on a real game of checkers, where the checkers themselves are beer. And when one of the players hits the checker, he must drink its contents as a reward. You cannot refuse your prize - this is perceived as a personal insult.

DIY tent game

This game is perfect for playing somewhere in the forest. All those present must be divided into two teams and given the task of building a real hut. The time should not be stretched, but it is better to limit it to 20-30 minutes. The hut must have strong walls and a roof. A prerequisite is that all team members must fit into it. You can use any materials - sticks, leaves... The team whose hut will be more stable, stronger and can accommodate all participants will win.

First toast for 18 years

I don’t know where I got it, but I used this poem as a toast. It should be read out at the beginning of the holiday, slowly, with logical pauses. A very philosophical toast for 18th birthday.

18 – oh, what a date! Even if it is not an anniversary, it is not round, It is the dance of the waves and the riot of the garden. There are two wings behind my back!

These are eight Fridays a week, a time of trial, error and dilemmas. Beauty and spirit in a healthy body, This is life without problems for now!

This is the time of self-affirmation. This is the best time in life. Happy Birthday! Have the best birthday ever! And still no fluff, no feather!

I liked that at the end there was a hint about upcoming exams. It turned out that they killed two birds with one stone: they congratulated them on their birthday and

“Pass the bag” relay race

Good old-fashioned relay races can also be a great way to have fun.

You need to prepare a small bag of peas or sand. At the venue, draw two parallel lines at a distance of 5-7 meters from each other. Or simply designate them conditionally, where two trees can become the starting point. Next, you need to divide everyone present into 2 teams. Players from both teams line up next to each other near one of the lines. The first participant is placed on his head. Players from both teams start at the same time. The participant must walk with this small bag on his head to the second line, sit down, turn around three times around his axis, return to the team and pass the bag to the next player. If the bag falls during the task, the player returns to the team and performs all the actions again. The team whose members complete the task first will win.

It is interesting to conduct a relay race when everyone present has had a little drink and it will be more difficult to complete the task.

Tell me, friends, what do you do in winter?

Children: We play snowballs, build a fortress, a snowman, ski, skate, and sled. Snowman: I love sledding. Can I play with you too? Instructor and children: Of course you can. We will be happy to play with you. Snowman: I suggest that all participants divide into two teams and organize a relay competition. Do you agree? All Yes! Instructor: Whose sled is the fastest?

Two adult players sit on the sled facing each other and take the rope in their hands. A line is drawn between the sleds. At the signal, the players pull the rope towards themselves, raising their feet on the sled (as an option, you can help yourself with your feet). The winner is the one who pulled the opponent into the circle across the line into “their” territory. Instructor: Mom and Dad are relaxing, and the kids are going to play.

Everyone stands in front of the sled in the outer circle. To the music, the children begin to move in a circle. As soon as the music stops, the children must quickly take the free sled. Another sleigh is removed and the game continues. Children who do not have enough sleds are eliminated from the game. Instructor: Some on a hill, some on a mountain, Some in a wide yard, Some on sleds, some on skis, Some higher, some lower. Down the hill - wow, Up the hill - wow, Bang! Breathtaking! (A.

Game "Bring it whole"

For this fun game, you need to divide everyone present into teams of 2 people. One of them will be a cook, and the other a courier. Roles can be assigned by drawing lots. The chef's task is simple. He needs to stand with a conventional frying pan (or a real one) and wait for the courier. But for a courier the task is more difficult. He is given a spoon and a raw egg. The task is to bring the egg, lying in a spoon, which is clamped in the teeth, intact to the cook. The distance between team members must be at least 5 meters. But the more, the better. The team whose courier brings the whole egg first will win.

Festive menu in nature

Before your trip, you should think about the menu. What is a holiday without gluttony! Well, such are our traditions. If this is a holiday in nature, then we definitely marinate the meat and make barbecue . You can also make baked fish on the grill instead of shish kebab (or together with it).

It’s optimal if you have a small refrigerator in which you can store some of the food and simply cut the rest. But, nevertheless, you don’t need to take a lot of perishable food with you, and if it’s hot outside, then you shouldn’t put chocolates on the table, no one will eat them anyway because of the melted chocolate.

But take as much liquid as possible (I'm talking about soft drinks). The same applies to fruits and vegetables. Sandwiches , canapés, in general, anything that you can just grab and run on, go great in nature Well, don’t forget about a couple of salads, it’s a holiday after all! By the way, there must be some special feature on the menu at the holiday. For example, some unexpected cocktail that will amaze all guests with its taste, in the good sense of the word. On the Domovenok-Art blog there is a recipe for one of these drinks - this is our tropical punch , which at one time created a sensation! Or here's another idea: homemade Baileys liqueur is a wonderful drink.

Game "Time to Jump"

This entertainment is analogous to jumping over a fire. But if jumping over fire is quite dangerous, then jumping over a “log” is very simple, and most importantly, safe for health. For the role of a log, you can choose a person who is fast asleep, who will definitely be found not far from strong drinks. Just remember that you definitely need to jump over the newly made “log” an even number of times, because otherwise it won’t grow J

The main thing in the game is to have time to capture each participant during the jump.

Raffle game “Let’s get into formation together”

Before the start, one leader is selected. Next, all players line up in one line with their backs to the leader. The presenter must walk along all the participants and pat each one on the back or shoulder with his palm. The number of times a person claps is the serial number of a person. After everyone has received their share of claps, the participants must line up in a row, following their serial number. At the same time, no one has the right to utter a word. The whole catch is that the presenter can give the same number of claps to some participants.

It looks very funny when all the participants, winking, stamping their feet and whistling, try to create a formation. So be sure to film it - it will be interesting for the players to watch themselves later.

Competition "Back to Childhood"

Find the birthday girl’s old hat, cap, bib, solemnly take it out of the bag and feel nostalgic - together remember when she wore this accessory, offer to try it on. And then bring out a stool and ask to stand on it and read a children's poem (for example, something from Agnia Barto). Awesome photos guaranteed :)))

We didn’t hold these competitions (we didn’t have time), but they seem to us very interesting and suitable for celebrating a girl’s birthday, including for 18 years:

Game "Pass it to someone else"

You can play it during a meal, when guests are already starting to get a little bored. All participants sit in a circle. One of the players is given a button. He places it on his index finger. Next, he must pass it to the next player without touching this button with his hands - only from finger to finger. And so on in a circle. The participant who was unable to pass the button is eliminated. The game continues until one winner is determined.

At first glance, the game is simple, but in reality it is quite difficult to pass the button. Especially in a noisy, cheerful company that whistles and shouts trying to knock down the players and distract them.

Game "Who's missing?"

It is best to play when the company is large and people in it are unfamiliar. But even when everyone knows each other well, this will not make the game any less interesting. One of the participants is blindfolded. At this time, someone present is hiding. Next, the person who was blindfolded has their eyes untied. He must guess which of the participants is missing, and when he succeeds, he must also describe what he was wearing. You can make the task more difficult. While guessing the missing guest, everyone else should not stand still, but constantly move in order to distract the guessing player.

Game "Unusual Figure"

This game is a variation of the well-known charades. One person is selected to be the judge. All those present are divided into teams of two. One of the team members must draw a figure on the back of another participant with his finger. You can make the figure simply imaginary, or you can glue a regular piece of paper on which to draw the figure with a pen, and then simply trace its contours with your finger on the player’s back. Reporting what is depicted is strictly prohibited. Next, the participant must dance, or simply step forward, to depict this figure. All other players must guess what was depicted on the participant’s back. The team whose figure is recognized by the majority of those present wins.

Game "Spin the Bottle"

You will need a regular bottle and several small sheets of paper. It is desirable that the number of leaves be slightly greater than the total number of all participants. Each player writes 1-2 tasks on a piece of paper, rolls it up and puts it in a bottle. Tasks should be interesting and funny. For example, climb a tree stump and depict an animal drawn in a picture or depict your friend who is present here drunk, etc. Next, spin the bottle and the one to whom it will point must take out one task and complete it.

A boring country summer. Summer Fun Ideas

The virtual miniature farm that many of us played on social networks can easily be organized in real life at your dacha. Children will definitely enjoy this activity. This is where their toys and your ingenuity can come in handy.

Everything that grows in your garden can become material for creativity. As you can see, paintings can be painted not only with watercolors and oils, but also with onions, parsley and carrots. For boys of all ages, you can use available materials to build a track for circuit racing. Use a little imagination and you will have a great place for radio control car competitions.

A garden labyrinth is also a type of track for toy vehicles. Or for children to run around, if you make it big and choose impressive-sized plants.

An old awning and a watering hose can make a wonderful slippery surface on which to slide downhill.

When you have a group of people in your yard, you can have fun together playing a homemade bowling alley. To do this you will need several bottles filled with water and a couple of balls.

Or have them throw darts at colorful balloons. And in each ball you can put a note with the prize number.

The task of making a funny scarecrow out of everything at hand can be considered a kind of test for your design abilities. And such an “accessory” will come in handy for you - if not to scare away birds, then to add a touch of positivity and spontaneity to the landscape composition.

For active recreation, a homemade climbing wall is suitable. Chipboard sheets, strong long bolts and many bars of various shapes - ready!

By burying an empty plastic bottle in the sand, you can create an almost real volcano. Pour soda into a bottle, add a little dye and any detergent. Now carefully pour in the vinegar and watch the “eruption”.

Another interesting sandbox game is to bury various “treasures” and then look for them. To reinforce the teaching point, you can bury letters or numbers.

On the playground, you can build a tunnel with your own hands from a piece of large diameter pipe. It will be fun for the kids to hide here, and it’s good for practice. We have no doubt that adults will be the first to try this attraction.

The tunnel may also be made from old tires. They need to be dug into the ground correctly - one by one - and then painted in bright colors.

At the dacha there are many opportunities to play famous games in a new way. For example, you can lay out stone slabs so that you can jump into hopscotch. Or draw them on a chess lawn. We wrote how to do it here.

How do you like these tic-tac-toe?

Why don't you draw a twister right on the grass?

Stones! They can be painted, thrown at a target or into a bucket, counted, or built into towers. You can use them and everything that grows in your dacha to make patterns with your whole family.

Stretch a rope or elastic band between the trees so that it looks like a spider web. Now you can play: make your way through it carefully and quietly so as not to wake up the evil spider. Adults can also play this exciting game, after being inspired by the film “The Entrapment” with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery.

You will need a drill and a couple of plastic buckets of different sizes that need to be attached to the board. You will get a simulator for practicing accuracy. You can throw balls, stones, balls, toys, etc. Not only children will enjoy playing this.

If your warm and cheerful company doesn’t mind getting wet voluntarily, then build something like the one in the picture. The essence of the game is that when the ball hits the target, a bucket of water tips over onto the person sitting on the chair.

Here's another fun activity with water. From plastic containers, unnecessary empty packaging, pieces of an old garden hose, you can make a wall along which water will flow in an intricate stream. Here you will need not only imagination, but also logic!

There are many ideas on how to make the landscape of your dacha playful. For example, trimmed branches and tree trunks are suitable for treadmills and balancing.

Kids will surely enjoy jumping on the stumps.

Or walk along an intricate path that can, on occasion, serve as a bench.

You can try to recreate a sandbox-gazebo project made from live willow on your site. It was invented by architects from PPAG architects. Five-meter cuttings of willow are rooted and woven, forming a kind of tent. From spring to autumn, willow will provide natural shading for the sandbox, turning it into a cozy living house.

Make the most of summer and your suburban area! Do whatever the children and you like! The main thing is to be together. Psychologists say: spending time in the company of parents and grandparents, our children feel loved and important. And because of this they grow up healthy and happy.

How do you spend your time outside the city? Tell us about it in one of the topics in this FORUMHOUS section! Do you like boating? In this video, watch how to make a canoe.

Game "Lucky"

Suitable for a company that loves strong drinks. The participant is blindfolded. Take three stacks or plastic cups. Vodka is poured into two of them, and ordinary water into the third. The player's task is to drink the contents of one glass and wash it down with another. It’s very funny to watch these, because not everyone is able to drink water with vodka.

If you don’t have enough time to prepare, but you want to entertain your friends and family with something more than just a competition or a game, a quest will be an excellent solution.

12 ready-made various tasks will help you spend an hour and a half with fun and excitement. See more details here.
