Competitions for the 35th anniversary « Congratulations on the anniversary

"Exemplary Soldiers"

Many people know that in the army, privates must have time to get dressed while the match is burning. Let your men command “Rise!” (when a match is lit) they run up to the chairs with clothes and begin to put on everything that was given to them. Whoever manages to pull on the most items wins. To make it more fun, among typical military paraphernalia, place children's caps, pacifiers, and women's toiletries. And then look at what your valiant defenders of the Fatherland are going to wear to intimidate the enemy. The most suitable “soldier” for service and the most extravagant one receive prizes.

Active games

On a birthday, all guests want to feel young and have a lot of fun. Why not satisfy their need for active entertainment? You can play games in your apartment, on the street, anywhere. The main thing is to think through the scenario and charge your guests with a positive attitude.

For a large company

This competition will require some free space. Prepare balloons of two colors according to the number of birthday guests. Have guests divide into teams by color and tie balloons to their feet. At the birthday boy’s signal, everyone begins to burst their opponents’ balloons with their feet, while protecting their own. The team whose ball remains the last on the battlefield wins.
Mark a circle on the floor or otherwise limit the playing area. Place a wide-brimmed hat on the heads of two players. Tie each person's leading hand behind their back. To receive the title of champion in this competition, it is important to protect your headdress, but rip the hat off your opponent’s head. At the same time, remember that leaving the circle is prohibited.
Form opposite-sex couples. Place a balloon between each person's belly. When the music starts, each couple begins to dance merrily. But, at the same time, the guests try to protect the ball from being crushed.
Each team has at least 4 people. First, give them time to consult: you need to choose the name of the animal or bird that they will portray. Then blindfold the contestants and mix the players among themselves. After the signal, everyone makes the sounds of the creature they chose. And that's the only sound they can make. In this cacophony, people must form teams anew. The team that gathers together and joins hands the fastest is recognized as the champion.
Organize a silent relay race. To do this, mark the points for changing participants: large circles of bright color. For the first player, pull a rubber band between your legs and attach a rattle, bells or bell. Everyone strives to get to the nearest point, creating as little noise as possible. Ringing and strumming can only be done while passing the rubber band to another person.

Don't be afraid to embrace traditional games.

Have a sack run! To do this, prepare two large clean bags and sufficient space for action. Place the players in two equal lines. Participants climb into them and get to the finish line as quickly as possible and gallop back, exchanging with another competitor. The team that completes the task faster will win.
Here is another variation of the relay race. The participants’ task is to run with a spoon with a tennis ball to the designated place. Instead of a ball, use a chocolate egg or other object that can be easily dropped. If something falls, you need to go back to the beginning and run over it again.

For several people

For this competition, prepare a bag of clothes (take an equal amount) for every two guests. One of the pair is blindfolded. He must dress the second person correctly without outside help, but usually the result is something funny and awkward. The winners are those who were able to dress relatively correctly and quickly.
A group of players enters the center of the hall. Clothespins are hung on their clothes in equal numbers, and each person is tightly blindfolded. While the music is playing, everyone’s task is to outweigh as many competitors’ clothespins as possible and keep their own.
The competition is suitable if the room has a crystal clean floor or carpet. Two players of the same height and build get down on all fours. Each person has a piece of paper (make sure it is large enough) with a word attached to their back. The winner will be the one who reads someone else's word, but does not show his own. At the same time, standing up, tearing off a piece of paper and lifting your hands off the floor is prohibited.
You can organize a competition with running in bags differently: instead of bags, simply offer to jump to the finish line on one leg. The organizer chooses the leg; he can change it in the middle of the route. To make the task more challenging, organize the game outside near a small hill. Then players will have to jump both up and down the hill.
Divide the participants into two teams of equal size and capabilities. Each of them is given a long string. The team that will “seam” all the participants to each other faster than its opponents will win. This can be done by passing the rope through belt loops, sleeves and other protruding parts of the wardrobe. Use a strong, but not too wide rope so that you can play without any incidents.
Attach small gifts for guests to thin threads under the ceiling. Everyone cuts or rips one for themselves blindfolded, provided that they are not allowed to stand on pieces of furniture. Each guest will receive a prize if they work hard and show ingenuity.
Report that the participants were allegedly bitten by a poisonous snake. But stay positive and have the next competition. Invite them to dance, despite the problems, in the second minute tell them that their legs are numb. Now you need to continue to move to the music, but you cannot move your lower limbs. And so from toe to head. The winner is the dancer who was able to move energetically, ignoring adversity.

"Water carriers"

Surely all the men in your team, when they were little boys, carried toy cars with them on a string. Encourage them to think back to their childhood and see how their driving skills have improved since then. There are two possible assignment options.

1. Men line up along one line and begin to carefully pull cars with glasses standing on them, full to the brim. It is important not only to complete the task faster than everyone else, but also not to spill water: a truck whose glass contents begin to spill over the edges returns to the start and begins its journey again.

2. Participants must go through an obstacle course while pulling the car behind them. Place a few pins, and let the “water trucks” go around them in a “snake”, then they can drive the truck through a bridge (a piece of paper or a board on the floor), go around some obstacle and return to the “garage”. The winner is the one who brings the water first and does not spill it.

Competitions for the feast

While guests are too relaxed after eating, you should not take them out for active games. But you can start the fun at the table. The funny and cool elements of this program have been tested in practice on more than one holiday. Listen to your imagination: almost any way to diversify a birthday or anniversary will do.

For a large company

This game is suitable for those who are not yet familiar with it, because the competition is aimed at uniting guests. Everyone is given a forfeit with a word. In three minutes, with the help of brief communication with each other, people should be divided into teams of two to three people each. For example, guests with forfeits “pencil”, “wooden ruler” and “putty” are the office team.
Organize a competition for artistic book lovers. To do this, select three people and let them discuss in private. Their task is to retell a well-known book in the genre of horror, thriller or trash comedy. Everything depends on the decisions of other players. The team that tells the most exciting story will win.
This can be considered a mixture of playing forfeits and pantomime. All guests receive a piece of paper on which the type of activity with the suffix “ist” is written: scuba diver, pianist, fetishist, illusionist, parachutist, and so on. The owner of the piece of paper must silently show his occupation. The one who does it most funny and convincing wins.
Another variation of this paper game differs in content and is called “Show Your Country.” The point is that you must write the name of the country on the forfeits. The one who received the forfeit must show this state through a well-known landmark that is located in it. It will be interesting to watch the participants in the game and how this or that country will be shown.
Distribute papers to the participants of the celebration with funny questions in the spirit of “How did the birthday boy learn to speak,” “How did he take the first step,” and so on. Those who drew out the question need to depict this event. The winner is the one who does it the most funny and the one whose action is guessed the fastest. These are interesting reasons to look at yourself through someone else's eyes and laugh heartily.
A fun competition for a birthday party with alcohol would be this one. Bring each guest two glasses on a tray, but show them from a distance. One contains water, the other vodka (drinks can be changed, for example, red wine and cherry juice). The player's goal is to choose a glass of water. If this does not happen, he is obliged to drink a glass and fulfill the wish of the birthday boy. But try not to put too much into the program. Don't let all competitions be related to alcohol.
An object is placed in the middle of the table. The game task of each birthday party guest is to come up with an original use for it. Everyone takes turns calling out their ideas, and the one who lasts the longest wins.

For several people

This competition will help you find the main destroyer. Take two bowls and two sheets of thin A4 paper. Use a stopwatch to note the time, and the mission of a pair of players is to tear the sheet into shreds without cheating in half a minute. The contestant who completely tears up his sheet or the one whose piece is smaller will win.
You can feel immediate childish joy from the next game. Give each guest a glass of water, a straw and one empty glass. The player's goal is to pour the liquid from full to empty faster than others using only a straw. The winner is the one who carried the maximum amount of water faster than the rest.
Give the contestants album sheets, as well as good writing markers. At the same time, their hands are tied behind their backs, because the guests will have to draw with the help of their teeth. This is not easy, but you need to try, because the birthday boy’s task is to guess what his friend or girlfriend was trying to portray.
A similar entertainment is called “Like a chicken with its paw.” Invite guests to write congratulations to the birthday boy on whatman paper. The subtlety is that you need to do this with your foot. To do this, secure the sheet to the floor so that it does not slide off at the wrong moment, and hold the marker or felt-tip pen between your thumb and forefinger.
For each participant, place a row of ten burning thin candles. The champion is the one who blows out the most lit candles the fastest.
Distribute markers and one A3 sheet of paper for everyone to the guests of the holiday. On it they will draw a portrait of the birthday boy: let them take on one of the details of the face. The peculiarity of the competition is that you need to draw with your non-dominant hand or with your eyes closed, depending on the wishes of the birthday person.
One participant stuffs his mouth with marshmallows. The chosen player is given a little-known poem, which the player recites with lively and expressive intonations. The rest of the participants in the celebration should write down on paper what they hear. The winner is the one who recorded a version of the verse that is close to the original text or the one whose creation caused more laughter.

Only a woman can do this

Women participate (and if they really want to, men can also take part if the company is too fun). Each participant receives a task: as quickly as possible and, most importantly, to simultaneously apply lipstick and write an SMS, that is, we paint our lips with one hand and write an SMS with the other, for example, “Happy Birthday.” The participant who completes the task efficiently and quickly will become the winner and receive a prize, for example, a diary for creating a schedule so that she does not have to do several things at once.

Darling, give me a dress

All the participants' eyes lit up, because they saw the most amazing dress in the window of a cool store, but it was worth a lot. And each girl, woman, in turn, must go to the center of the hall and come up with her number for her beloved, for example, a poem: I will go out into the field naked, Let the bear eat me. Anyway, poor thing, I have nothing to wear. It can also be a song, a dance, or any performance that the participants come up with in order to “beg” their favorite dress. Whose performance, in the opinion of the guests, will be the best, that participant will receive a prize, for example, a brooch for a future dress.

Finally

It’s hard to say right off the bat what exactly is the key to a successful celebration. This includes a well-designed menu, a holiday program, the choice of a good host, and the turnout of invited guests. The choice of venue for the event, as well as how to decorate the room for a birthday, is also important. You can leave it all in the hands of professionals who will happily arrange everything the way you want. Or you can do it yourself. A few brightly colored balloons, festive posters addressed to the birthday boy, and as they say, the trick is in the bag. Be sure to think about how you will reward guests for participating in competitions, because adults are the same as children, only bigger. When preparing the room, remember that decorating the table and seating also takes some time.

Why not do it today?

Each of the guests takes turns pulling out a forfeit, which indicates the action that needs to be done. In case of refusal, the guest drinks a glass of any alcohol in one gulp (at the discretion of the public). The actions of forfeits should be unusual, for example: Drink a raw egg; Knock on a neighbor’s door and kiss him/her; Run to the store in just a T-shirt and buy beer; Publish a funny photo on social networks or write a funny status, for example, “I’m my mother’s fool, I eat herring with sugar”; Dial the third or tenth number in your phone book and recite a poem, for example, “I came to you with greetings” and so on. A cheerful mood and memorable moments of the party are guaranteed to each of the guests.

Music and art competitions

Guess the song

For the competition, you need to select short quotes from songs of the generation that your participants represent. It is unlikely that pensioners are familiar with the repertoire of Dima Bilan, and students are not familiar with Maya Kristalinskaya. Two teams play and the lines of their hit songs are read to them. Those who are the first to remember the melody and artist earn two points, if only the melody - one.

Original acquaintance

Pairs of guests participate. Each couple is given a theme - an unexpected place where they met. The couples take turns performing skits, and the audience rewards the most artistic ones. Examples of tasks - meeting places: a dentist's office, the roof of a high-rise building, a dark underground passage or alley, a lingerie boutique for women, the middle of a pond.

Exclusive T-shirt

Each artist is given a regular white T-shirt. Using spray paint or regular spray bottles filled with colorful solutions, artists must paint their T-shirt in an avant-garde style. The most compelling work of art is identified by the audience, and the participants keep their artwork as a souvenir.

Model on the catwalk

Two groups of guests compete in applying evening makeup. Each team's model is a man from the neighboring team. After the make-up, the model must walk down the catwalk, for which they need to prepare high-heeled shoes of the appropriate size. The winner is determined by the audience.

Accurate portrait

At least 5 people must participate in the game. Each player is given a piece of paper and a pencil. You need to draw a portrait (or a friendly cartoon) of one of the guests present (your choice). Then the drawings are passed around the circle, and everyone leaves on the back the name of the person who, in his opinion, is drawn on the piece of paper. When the portrait is returned to its author, the number of correct comments is counted. The most recognizable portrait and its artist wins. And the drawings are given as souvenirs to those depicted in them.

Fools

Well, what’s a party without jokes? This game lasts throughout the evening. For the competition, you need to prepare in advance leaves (with a sticky side) with the inscriptions “Fool” and “Fool”. The notes will hang on a stand or easel in the corner of the room. Throughout the party, each guest can take a note and discreetly stick it on the back of any guest. Having seen such a note on someone's back, guests should remain silent about it. At the end of the evening, the most glorious “Fool” and the most glorious “Fool” are determined by the number of such notes.
