TOP 10 funny and cool competitions at corporate events

Fool me Each of the participants is given a whole pack of chewing gum, for example, “Orbit”. At the “start” command, each participant begins the chewing process. The task is to chew all the plates faster than the others and inflate the largest balloon. The winner and owner of the strongest jaws will receive a prize.

By centimeters For this competition you will need a centimeter and prepared certificates (medals), into which the vocations and titles of the guests will then be written. The host names the category, and guests who feel that they can take a prize in this category take part, and the measurements decide everything. Then everyone will be able to receive their own certificate, for example, “Outstanding Breasts”, “Elf Ears”, “Legs from Ears”, “Wasp Waist”, “Musical Fingers”, “Miniature Palms”, “Almost Twine”, “Navel-Mariana Trench” ", "Julia Roberts Smile" and so on.

How to hold a corporate event

It's no secret that a successful corporate event can revive even the most tired employees and leave a lot of positive memories.

A good celebration has 2 components:

• quality organization;
• fun competitions.

And if with the first everything is relatively simple - you need to find a special event company or delegate the preparation to a responsible employee, then with the second there may be difficulties. After all, only you know the characteristics of your team and can determine which competitions at a corporate party for employees will be not only fun, but also appropriate.

Below we offer several options for entertaining and cool competitions for employees.

Competition "Collective Toast"

This game can be perfectly combined with a feast. The host begins to say a toast, sets the general tone, and at the most interesting moment breaks off the toast mid-sentence. And the person sitting next to the presenter should continue. And so the toast continues along the chain until the last corporate party participant.

To make it more fun, the host can limit the number of words that each participant can say. For example, everyone can add 2 or 3 words to the toast. Then the result will be long and funny.

Desired color

Participants again stand in a circle. The presenter says a color out loud, for example: “Green!” Children must very quickly find an object of this color nearby and pick it up. Anyone who does not have time to find such an item is eliminated. And the participant who remains last becomes the winner. (there is a fun children's game with similar rules - Traffic Light).

Competition "Cinema on the Table"

You need to prepare for such a competition in advance. The organizing team is looking for funny phrases from famous films. Each phrase is written down on a separate piece of paper and hidden somewhere among the dishes on the festive tables.

After the assignment is announced, each employee at a corporate party must find as many pieces of paper with phrases as possible and guess which movie they are from.

Important! You need to select phrases from well-known films so that most participants can guess their name.

For those who guessed the most phrases, you need to prepare a gift. It can be symbolic, or you can come up with something meaningful and useful. It all depends on the budget of the event.

How to properly prepare for games and competitions for the New Year 2022

The New Year should be celebrated joyfully and interestingly. But it very rarely turns out that guests amuse themselves. As a rule, even if there are people in the company who are able to entertain and make everyone laugh, at some point they get bored with everything and the holiday turns into monotonous gatherings. To prevent this from happening, you need to take care in advance of how to interest those present.

It is better to celebrate the New Year with friends, family and loved ones, colleagues (at a corporate party), but with entertainment and fun games. You can choose sedentary competitions at the table and “dilute” them with active activities, in which you should definitely involve even children. It is better to come up with competitions for the New Year 2022, New Year's games and entertainment in advance to interest every guest. To do this you need:

1. Think through a scenario of several games, write everything down on a piece of paper. You don't need to rely on your good memory. As a rule, in the holiday bustle, many things are forgotten. If everything is planned out, there will be no problems.
2. Stock up on props. It is advisable to put everything you need into packages and sign them. At the most crucial moment you will not need to look for anything.
3. Consider a place for games. It is not always possible to hold a competition due to the size of the room. It is worth finding out in advance in what conditions the holiday will take place.
4. Prepare prizes. You can also put them in bags.
5. Choose music. It’s worth downloading New Year’s themed ringtones in advance and organizing the files into folders.

It is advisable to immediately identify assistants for yourself. It is very difficult for one person to carry out everything, as overlaps may occur. It is better if there is an assistant who will be brought up to date in advance.

If competitions require something from participants, you need to inform them about it in advance. The intrigue is lost a little, but in some situations it is necessary. For example, individual children's competitions often require that the child learn a poem or song in advance.

On a note!

Competitions are also needed so that unfamiliar people who find themselves in the same company loosen up and begin to communicate with each other, and not just with those with whom they had good contact before.

Competition "Who am I?"

The game is perfect for those moments when everyone has already eaten and now you want to take a little break. Here you already need to form teams. To simplify the process, you can combine all the adults at the table into a team. If there are children at a corporate party, then it is better to make a separate team out of them.

So, the number of players in a team is 8-10 people. It is important that the number of players is even. Each player receives a thin paper strip on his forehead, and we attach the role to it with tape or a paper clip. How to choose roles: these should be the names of famous people.

The essence of the game: the person who has the card attached to the headband does not know what role he got. But at the same time he clearly sees what roles went to those sitting around him. The goal of each player is to find out who he is as quickly as possible by asking leading questions to others. It is worth paying attention to the fact that asking direct questions and giving hints is prohibited. This way the whole charm of the game is lost.

Another option: since there are an even number of participants, they themselves can come up with a role for the person sitting opposite them. In this case, everyone writes the name of a famous person on a piece of paper and attaches it to the headband of the person sitting opposite.

Cool harmless competitions for everyone

25 compliments

All guests of the holiday should be divided into 2 teams and each should be given a blank sheet of paper. In 2.5 minutes, each team must write 25 compliments on their sheet. After this, the presenter selects the sheets and compares the inscriptions on them, crossing out identical compliments. The team that writes the most original congratulations is declared the winner.

Connection

There are also competitions for the birthday boy, in which he takes part along with the invited guests, and here he gets the main role. The birthday boy is seated in the center of the room on a chair or at the head of the table, so that from there he can see everyone gathered. Only the host stands behind him and from there shows the guests cards with some facts (“wears a suit,” “gave birth to twins,” “traveled abroad,” “rides a bicycle,” etc.) concerning someone of those present. The one to whom this fact applies must rise from his seat, and there may be several such people. The birthday boy’s task is to understand what fact connects these people.

find me

The presenter should distribute pieces of paper to everyone present at the birthday party, on which they must give a description of their appearance. After this, all the leaves are collected in a box or bag. The presenter takes the first piece of paper out of the box, reads it out, and everyone tries to guess who this description fits. Each contest participant has only one attempt for each description. The one who can identify the most guests from their descriptions wins the competition.

Magic ball

This modern birthday competition is a bit like the American habit of wrapping small gifts in many large boxes. Well, we can transfer this tradition as a joke to our holiday. To do this, we will make a “magic” ball.

First you need to prepare: find short riddles and write them on scraps of paper. Then you need to take a small souvenir and wrap it in foil. Attach a piece of paper with a riddle to the foil with tape. Then wrap the gift again with another layer of foil and attach another riddle to it again. The result of such layers should be at least 6-7. In this case, the most difficult riddle should be in the depths, and the simplest one on the outside.

Next, you need to cast lots to see who will be the first to begin unwrapping the resulting magic ball. Having removed the first layer of foil, the first participant gets to the first riddle, which he must solve in 5 seconds. If he fails, then everyone else comes to his aid, and the one who does it first gets the right to remove the next layer of foil and guess the second riddle. In the end, whoever solves the last riddle wins this prize.

Guess it

Such competitions for adults are quite acceptable at a children's birthday party. Guests should be divided into two teams, which should be seated on opposite sides of the table. Determine a leader for each team. The first team must think of a word on a topic related to the birthday celebration, and its leader must secretly tell this word to the leader of the opposing team. He should try to portray this word to his team with facial expressions and gestures. Players can ask him questions, but the host can only nod yes or no.

You can guess the word within 3 minutes, and if it remains unguessed, the team is punished with a phantom, for example, by singing a song in honor of the birthday person.

How to use?

An object is placed on the table in front of the competition participants. Next, they take turns to come up with a real action that can be performed with this object. The player who could not come up with the next application is eliminated from the competition. In the end, there is only one winner.

Conductor

The leading “conductor” distributes cards with the names of cities to all players - “tickets” with destinations. He then starts asking if the player knows what country his city is in. If he answers correctly, then the conductor punches his ticket. The winner is the “traveler” who collected the most composted tickets.

Competition "Piglets"

The game definitely falls into the “funny competitions” category. It’s worth saying right away that such entertainment should be offered in the second half of the celebration, when everyone has relaxed, sipped a little alcohol and is ready for bold experiments.

Purpose of entertainment: to enjoy the cold jelly dessert the fastest. But you need to do this without using your hands and as funny as possible. Roughly speaking, the louder the participant grunts while eating jelly and the more he gets dirty, the greater the chances of winning.

There is a point with the selection of participants: choose only those who are willing, since not everyone wants to take part in such an action.

Competition "Flying gait"

There is already active action here. One volunteer is selected from all the corporate party participants and shown a pre-prepared obstacle course. Chairs, skittles, and low stools can be placed there.

The volunteer is asked to carefully memorize the entire obstacle course and the placement of objects on it. After this, the participant is taken aside, ostensibly in order to blindfold him. Meanwhile, the obstacle course is being removed.

As a result, the volunteer tries to get around obstacles that no longer exist, constantly trying to feel for the presence of objects ahead. It turns out especially funny when the audience begins to tell the participant where to go so as not to trip over obstacles.

Competition "Playful kitten"

Players are invited to portray a company of small kittens, one of which at the end of the game will receive a prize - a figurine or toy of a kitten. Participants should play kittens as touchingly as possible. During the competition, the host tells the story: “You kittens are great guys. Have fun and go for a walk together." At this moment, the participants most cheerfully depict kittens running for a walk. You can jump, run, hiss, play with each other.

Meanwhile, the presenter continues the story: “The kittens ran a lot, and were quite tired. They sat down somewhere and dozed off.” Players sit on the floor or squat and sleep.

The next part of the story: “The kittens rested, stretched their paws, and went to dance.” Here the players must demonstrate complex dance movements, jumping, they can dance in pairs or one at a time. And in the midst of dancing the command “Stop” sounds.

As for the presentation of prizes. Determine in advance by what criteria the winner will be selected. Options:

• the one who danced the longest after the “stop” command;
• the one who stopped first;
• the one who froze in the most interesting or difficult pose.

The main thing is that the players do not know by what criteria the winner will be selected. If you decide to repeat the game several times, the winning criterion can be changed each time to make it more interesting.

And one more tip: if there is a photographer invited to a corporate event, then ask him to photograph this competition. Rest assured, the photos will turn out great!

Music competitions

Ditty competition

Unusual competitions set to music are always fun. For this singing competition, you need to prepare prizes and a list of interesting words that should be inserted into the ditties you are composing. From the guests present, you need to put together several teams of 3-5 people. Then the presenter says a word that each team must insert into their ditty. About 3-5 minutes are allocated for creativity. The team that does not have time to compose anything is eliminated from the competition, and the rest perform their ditties to the music. Next comes the turn of a new word and new ditties.

The team that manages to compose the most ditties wins. If several teams completed the task equally well, then the winner is determined by the volume of applause.

Who thinks about what?

If you decide not only to dance, but also to take a funny musical break, then you should first ask the host to prepare cool music competitions. He will select in advance fragments from songs that can somehow characterize the appearance or thoughts of the guests, and will also find a spectacular hat. When all the guests are sitting at the table, the host announces that he has acquired a magic hat that can read minds. After that, he puts it on the guest’s head and at the same time an excerpt of the song is played.

Competition "Best Sculptor"

There is already a game and a competition for creativity. It is necessary to create 2 teams of those interested. Each team receives an equal number of balloons and tape. In a short time (no more than 5 minutes), teams must create a male or female figure from the balls.

Everyone else present at the corporate party will act as a jury and, using voting or the volume of applause, will choose the winner.

Important! Such a game can be either in the category of “competitions for adults” or simply as an entertainment show. This or that option depends on the cohesion of the team, the presence of children in the room and the characteristics of the corporate culture at the enterprise.

Cool competitions for the New Year 2022 for a large company

If a large company gathers for the New Year, competitions are a must. This will help unite the team and give everyone the opportunity to take part in the fun. Games for a fun company should be massive.

"Unusual Song"

This game can be played with a large group. No props needed. The presenter gives the task, inviting the participants to sing a song that everyone knows. For example, it could be “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.” Everyone sings one line to the music. At some point, the music is stopped and the presenter utters an unusual phrase. For example, if there is a stop after the word "herringbone", the person running the game might say "advertisement". And then the participant on whom the game stopped must come up with a continuation. For example, it could be: “The best Christmas trees are only in our forest. Contact us by phone...” Then the singing resumes and the song is gradually sung to the end with stops. The one who comes up with the most original performance will win.

“Let's listen to the news!”

This fun competition will evoke a sea of ​​positive emotions among guests. To carry it out, you need minimal props: pens and pieces of paper. The presenter writes in advance on sheets of paper a set of words that are completely unrelated to each other. He further tells the participants that they brought him news, but it is difficult to read. It invites players to restore the offers themselves. The trick is to come up with an interesting set of words. These could be combinations like this:

1. China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
2. Santa Claus, wheel, chair, north, bag.
3. New Year, kitchen, tights, pan, scabies.
4. Santa Claus, Tiger, herring, window, barrier.
5. Nettle, tinsel, Kirkorov, fishing rod, ship.
6. Football, shovel, Christmas tree, Snow Maiden, tangerines.
7. Snowman, beard, tights, bicycle, school.
8. Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.

The funnier the news, the more interesting it will be. For example, from the last set you can make up: “In the Moscow Zoo, during winter washing, a rug was discovered in a boa constrictor.” The one who offers the funniest news will win.

"The best"

In order for people in a large company to get to know each other better and get to know each other better, you can hold a very interesting competition. To do this, you should hang small souvenirs or sweets on the tree in advance. This could be delicious chocolate. Each gift should be accompanied by a note. It should contain a description of the person to whom this gift is intended. Descriptions might be something like this:

1. The owner of the brownest eyes.
2. The best high jumper.
3. I graduated from school with a medal.
4. The biggest bully.
5. The best boss.
6. The owner of the highest heels.

Everyone present must work together to determine who should receive the prize. The answer should be written on the back of the pieces of paper. The competition seems simple, but it is meaningful. The game helps us learn something new about each other.

Game "Truth Detector"

To play, you need to prepare 2 decks of cards in advance. One will contain questions, and the other will contain potential answers. During the game itself, the presenter approaches one of the participants and offers to take a card out of the pile of questions and ask one of his colleagues about it.

After the question is addressed, the presenter approaches the participant whose turn it is to answer the question and offers to draw a card from the deck with answer options. The player draws a phrase and reads it as an answer to a question.

The essence of the game is in inconsistent and funny answers to the question. Example: Question - can you hold a meeting and tell all employees about the company's plans for the next 5 years? The answer is why are you asking such a stupid thing, as long as I drive to work in 5 minutes, while I’m stuck in a traffic jam, I’ll do it.

The main thing is to choose funny questions and answers, based on the specifics of the enterprise. If you do this well, you are guaranteed a fun evening!

Say a name

For this game, you need to prepare the props in advance: cards with inscriptions (on some - the beginning of any name, and on others - the ending), backpacks (one for each team).

All players are divided into teams. Each team is given a backpack, each backpack contains cards with the first syllables of their names. The “Say a Name” game is played in a room in which the children can be seated on chairs at one end and a table can be placed opposite. There should be baskets with the endings of names on the table.

The presenter turns on the music and the team members, in turn, run to the table, select from a basket the ending of the name that matches one of the cards, return and give the backpack to the next player. After the music stops playing, the presenter counts how many names each team has. The team with the most names wins.

Competition "Chinese Smile"

The rules are simple: all participants are given a lemon. You need to eat it without sugar, faster than other players and at the same time not stop smiling. The winner is the one who fulfilled all the conditions and finished the lemon first.

The list of funny and table-based competitions for corporate parties for adults can be continued endlessly. But the main thing is proper organization, a carefully thought-out script and a good presenter. And there will definitely be fun there!

Cars

For this game you will need props: a small toy car for each participant, a selection of fun music, a large skein of strong thick thread. Cut the skein of thread into small equal pieces (about 1 meter), then tie a thread to each machine.

Rules of the game : place cars on the floor, one in front of each participant. To the music, they must wind the thread until the machine is in their hands. When the music stops, those whose cars were left on the floor are eliminated. And if there are a majority of them, then the one who already has the machine in their hands wins.
