Having fun and having fun in a friendly company, or Competitions for a woman’s anniversary

An anniversary birthday - a special type of name day - is celebrated, as a rule, crowded and magnificent, and therefore requires more careful preparation. Such a celebration is best organized as a surprise holiday. The birthday boy also takes part in preparing the evening, but for some time it is better to keep certain moments secret for him.

How to start a holiday

The celebration hall is decorated in accordance with the theme of the holiday: welcome posters, photo collages, flowers, garlands, balloons. The whole atmosphere should be imbued with the anniversary birthday, for which you need to select appropriate music, decorate the festive table in a special way, etc.

Such an evening begins with a ceremonial part, but the hero of the day is congratulated in a special way, for example, you can sing in chorus a song written in honor of the hero of the occasion. There is no way to do without congratulations in verse. You can compose them yourself or use ready-made ones.

For the hero of the day who is young at heart and has a good sense of humor, you can organize a game “Find the Treasure”, where the treasure will be all the gifts prepared for the birthday. To prevent the birthday boy from getting confused, he is given a treasure map in the form of a scroll with clues. Guests can also take part by directing the treasure hunter with the words “cold” or “hot”. After the drawing, the birthday boy is given real gifts.

With the start of the festive banquet, a small “warm-up” can be done at the table, starting competitions for the woman’s anniversary with an auction.

Tasty questions

It happens that guests behave very actively throughout the holiday. In this case, asking questions at the table about food would be an excellent solution. Most likely, they will whet the children's appetite. This kind of entertainment is usually enjoyed by both adults and children.

You will need to prepare different products and place them on plates. It should be a mixture of sweet, spicy, salty, sour. The participant will need to guess which product he was given to try (his eyes must be blindfolded). Or all actions can be replaced with questions:

Auction

To cheer everyone up at the beginning of the holiday, immediately after the first toast, you can hold an auction for guests. For fun, you need to prepare several lots that supposedly belonged to the hero of the day. Examples of such lots:

the first diaper of the hero of the day;
the car he played with as a child;
the shoes he wore to kindergarten;
laces for these shoes;
photo of the birthday boy's first teacher.

Before the auction begins, the presenter announces that the one who says the last good word about the hero of the day will win the competition. A prerequisite is that the epithets that are awarded to the hero of the day must be harmless, and, of course, they can be pronounced only once. The winner who came up with the most recent original compliment, in addition to the lot, is awarded a certificate for “The Most Eloquent Guest.” A toast sounds “To the most extraordinary hero of the day.”

Funny table contests for adults' birthdays

Drink water faster than anyone else

10 glasses are placed in front of the participants. You can use plastic ones. Pour water into 9 glasses, and vodka into the tenth glass. (everyone thinks that there is water in all glasses). The task is to drink all the contents for a while. On command, participants begin the task. The one who drinks first wins. Watch the drinkers closely when it comes to drinking a glass of vodka.

Tell a poem - a competition with a trick

Participants must recite a poem of their choice, with expression and intonation. Then, the presenter says that he will now determine the winner. But! The winner will be the one with the largest foot size.

Dream in a bag

At the beginning of the party, guests write notes with wishes to the hero of the occasion and sign with their name. The notes are placed in a bag. The organizer of the competition prepares tasks for the participants in advance, writes them down and also puts them in a bag, only in a different one. The competition begins - the birthday boy first takes out notes from the first bag and says what is written there, naming the person who wrote it. Then, from the second bag, the one whose note the birthday boy took from the first bag reads the task that must be completed. Thus, you need to demonstrate your attitude towards the birthday person and the sincerity of your wishes.

Draw the birthday boy

Each guest is given a pencil and paper. The task is given - to draw the birthday boy as he knows how and how he sees him. It could be a friendly cartoon, caricature or something abstract. The winner is determined based on voting results. All paintings are awarded to the hero of the occasion.

Meeting the birthday boy

Each guest in turn must talk about how he met the birthday boy, but in only three words. For example, a store, winter, the last century. The rest of those present must complete the description of the acquaintance. The one who describes it more accurately wins.

Competition "Gift for the hero of the day"

When all the gifts brought to the hero of the day have been presented, there is an opportunity to please the birthday boy once again. An anniversary toast, a ditty, or a song may be suitable as an intangible gift. For guests, write tasks on cards and place them in balloons. Each guest chooses a ball, bursts it and completes the specified task.

Sorting

To play, you need to assemble two teams of up to 10 participants each (there should be an equal number of players). The presenter says the condition according to which the players will line up. The team that quickly and accurately completes the task wins. The players must be fairly familiar with each other. Examples of tasks:

line up by name (in alphabetical order);
line up according to height;
line up in ascending (or descending) age order;
build in descending order of apartments or houses;
arrange everyone in order of hair color changes (from blondes to brunettes).

Cool contests for a woman's birthday

Name the countries

All those present are divided into two teams, one team has only men, the other has women. Each team is given paper and pen. Men should write down the names of countries in the masculine gender, and women – in the feminine gender. The team that names the most countries wins. (There are more feminine countries - Italy, Germany, Portugal, Bolivia, etc.)

Compliment to the birthday girl

Guests give the birthday girl different titles - princess, duchess, queen, queen, charming girl, etc. They do this in turns. whoever hesitates and cannot come up with an idea is eliminated from the game.

Do it at the same time

Women should prepare lipstick and a mobile phone. Men can also take part in the competition. Their task is to paint lips and write SMS at the same time. Whoever completes the task faster wins.

Exchange

To participate in the competition, everyone present is divided into pairs. The start command sounds and they begin to exchange things, for example, the man gives the woman a tie, watch, jacket, and the woman gives earrings, a scarf, a handbag. Whoever has the most items in exchange is the winner.

What's in front of you

Men take part in the competition; women's objects are laid out in front of them - eyebrow tweezers, curling irons, epilators, etc. Participants write down the name on a piece of paper in the order in which the objects are placed. The winner is the one who copes first and does not make mistakes.

Grandmother at the market

This competition is for a woman’s 60th birthday. The players should be placed in a circle (the game can be played at the table). The presenter says: “Granny went to the market and bought a coffee grinder...”. At the same time, he turns the handle with his hand, imitating the movement when grinding coffee, the players take turns repeating the words and movement after him. The next circle is “Grandma went to the market and bought an old iron.” Continuing to turn the coffee grinder, with your left hand you begin to stroke everything one by one. Then the grandmother bought a foot-operated sewing machine (foot movement is added), then a rocking chair (the players also begin to rock). And finally, a cuckoo clock (everyone says “cuckoo, cuckoo”). The main thing is to perform all movements at the same time; whoever gets confused is out of the game.

Quiz “As you were, so you remain”

Contests for a woman's 45th birthday can start with a quiz competition. The host offers to participate in the prize draw without showing it to the guests. For the correct answer to the quiz, guests receive a candy point. The number of candies determines the winner, who is awarded a certificate for “The most inquisitive guest.”

Sample list of questions about the hero of the day

On what day of the week was the birthday girl born?
His data at the time of birth (weight, height).
Where did this happen?
What time of day?
What was the name of the teacher in the kindergarten where the hero of the day went?
Her favorite toy.
Best friend at school.
What is her math grade on her certificate?
What is her education?
Where was her first day of work?
Where did the hero of the day meet her future husband?
When did the birthday girl get married?
What was the weather like on your wedding day?
The exact ages of her children.
The birthday girl's favorite food.
Favorite song.
What is the size of her summer cottage?
What kind of trees grow there?

After the quiz, the host invites everyone to sing the hero of the day’s favorite song. The birthday girl solos, everyone sings along. Texts for everyone must be prepared in advance. The program will continue with dancing, but not simple dancing, but on chairs.

Organization rules

In addition to preparation, the organization of the quiz itself also plays an important role. Active children are sometimes not so easy to interest in intellectual play. There are several tips to help organizers cope with this task:

You need to create a buzz around the quiz before it even starts. You can invite the guys to split into teams. Let them think about a name, a motto, and choose a captain. Teams can answer questions one by one, and for each correct answer they will receive a token. Whoever scores more wins.

If there are not very many children at the holiday, then each child can play for himself. You can take the quiz right at the table.

Before asking a question, children can be asked to choose a topic. That is, you will have to divide all the questions into groups. For example, animals, plants, cartoons, sports and so on. Here everything will depend on the interests of the young company.
There must be musical accompaniment. It will be boring to answer questions in silence. For quizzes, it is better to choose rhythmic tracks without words.
As a result, absolutely all participants should receive memorable prizes.

Drill

The game involves two teams - men's and women's. Each has its own captain. The women's team is lined up in a corridor with the captain at the end. The men's team starts the game. The captain must walk through the ladies' line without a single smile and kiss the captain of the women's team. If he laughed (and the ladies constantly provoke him), then he must give a forfeit, and we appoint a new captain for the men's team. If the male captain successfully completes the task, the female captain is replaced, and the forfeit is also taken from her. The game continues until all the men on the team have passed the line as captain. Then the teams switch places, and the female captain walks through the male line and kisses the male captain. At the end, the prisoners and forfeits are counted and played out.

Dance on chairs

For a fairly relaxed company, you can offer cool competitions for a woman’s anniversary. Participants must be seated on chairs so that they can be clearly seen by all other spectators. Music is turned on with specially selected and well-known melodies - waltz, gypsy, lezginka, rock and roll, twist, tango, Russian “Barynya”. The tunes change every 30 seconds, and guests show off their talents without rising from their chairs. The competition can be complicated by asking guests to dance only with their hands, heads, etc. the winner is awarded the prize “The Best Dancer” and is offered a toast “To the most cheerful guests at the holiday.”

Catch a fish

For the competition you need to prepare several paper fish. Participants are divided into pairs, and a fish is tied from behind to the partner’s belt so that it drags along the ground. During the dance, men try to step on the fish and tear it off, while protecting their lady's fish. The couple that keeps their fish until the end wins.

Ode to the hero of the day

For a woman’s 50th birthday, the “Ode to the Jubilee” competition will come in very handy. The host invites guests to write an ode in honor of the respected birthday girl. The rhymes that need to be used for this are posted in advance. To stir up interest in the competition, it is also advisable to announce the prize (in the form of a bottle, for example, champagne) in advance. Here are some sample rhymes for the ode:

The competition continues all evening, summing up the results, the winner is awarded the coveted prize and a certificate “For the gift of poetry.”

Remember everything

Divide the players into pairs and line up with their backs to each other. Participants tune in to each other, trying to remember his appearance as accurately as possible. The presenter invites everyone to remember their partner in detail, and no even sidelong glances are allowed. Here is an approximate list of tasks that everyone answers in turn:

What is the partner's name?
The color of his eyes.
How long are the trousers (even if the lady is wearing a skirt, the question should sound exactly like that).
What kind of shoes does your partner wear?
What's on your partner's neck?
Which hand is the watch on?
How many rings are there on your hands?

In the same way, you can ask the color of lipstick, earrings, tights, ties, etc. The pair that guesses the maximum number of correct answers wins.

Warm heart

All volunteers are given the same ice cubes. On command, they try to melt the ice by squeezing it with their hands and rubbing it on their chest. The one who manages to do this first receives a certificate “For the warmest heart” and a prize - a glass of champagne.

The host announces any dance and has a hat in his hands. You can dance in pairs or alone. Suddenly he puts a hat on the head of one of the players. The main thing is not to be left with the hat when the music suddenly stops - you will have to give away the forfeit. There is a nice variation: if a couple is dancing, you can put a hat on your partner and take the lady away from him in the dance. When enough forfeits have been collected, the second phase of the game begins. The presenter must have prepared tasks in advance for redeeming forfeits. Each phanta owner draws a card from a hat and completes a fun task. For relaxation, you can dilute the dancing with song competitions.

Volunteer singers are invited to join the circle; they receive cards with the names of political figures of different generations (Stalin, Brezhnev, Gorbachev, Yeltsin). On the other side are the names of the songs that the participants must perform. But it must not only be sung, but performed in an image that matches the image of the leader. It’s better not to overthink the themes and lyrics of songs and choose the well-known “Katyusha” or “Yolochka” to everyone.

You can't erase the words from a song

All guests play (can be used as a table option). Everyone is given a pen and a piece of paper on which they must mark lines from six of their favorite songs - 6 phrases. When guests have completed the task, they are offered a clue:

song number 1 – feelings at the first kiss,
song number 2 – memories of the first wedding night,
song number 3 reminds me of the honeymoon,
song number 4 – feelings a year after the wedding,
song number 5 - what I think about today alone with you,
thoughts from the morning after the golden wedding.

"Honorary wind blower"

Closer to the final part of the holiday, you can hold a competition for the anniversary of a 55-year-old woman for the title of “honorary wind blower.” The birthday girl should also participate in it. Each volunteer is given a balloon, which must be inflated as quickly as possible until it bursts. If the shape of the balls is unusual, the competition is more fun and difficult. If the hero of the day wins, in addition to a diploma, he is awarded the title “Chief Candle Blower.” If one of the guests, then he becomes the “First Assistant to the Chief Candle Blower.” After all the titles are awarded, the anniversary cake is brought out.
