Rules
The essence of this fun event is that with the help of a hat you can find out what each participant in the celebration is thinking about. The toastmaster approaches any guest and puts on him a mysterious headdress that supposedly reads thoughts . At the same time, the sound engineer plays songs pre-selected for the competition. Advice: if there are many guests at the wedding, it is better to choose the most colorful and witty to participate in the game.
In order for the competition to go off with a bang, you need to think in advance about what questions the host will ask the talking hat and how it will answer. It is more convenient to play the game according to a written script. You can use the simple plots presented in this article, or you can show your imagination and come up with your own!
"Pour, drink, have a snack"
To hold this competition for the New Year 2022, we will need a spacious room, two chairs, 2 bottles of any alcohol, two glasses or glasses, as well as two plates with cold cuts (cheese, sausage, balyk, tomato, cucumber, pickled mushrooms, etc. ). On each chair we place a bottle of alcohol, a glass and a plate of snacks. We organize two teams of 5 - 6 people and line them up at a distance of 3 - 4 meters from the chairs.
Next we distribute the roles:
- the first person must run up to the chair and pour alcohol into the glass, after which he must return to his team and pass the baton to the next participant,
- the second needs to run to the chair, drink the contents of the glass and return to the team,
- the third participant, having taken over the baton, runs to the chair and has a snack.
The competition for adults lasts until the last glass of alcohol is drunk and the last piece of sausage is eaten. The team that completes the task faster and more accurately wins. For the New Year 2022 - this is just a godsend!
Scenarios
The presenter announces a competition and says: “I found one item in the attic of my house. And it is not simple, but magical. This is a hat that knows what you're thinking. Let's check if this is true." Then the toastmaster takes out his hat and approaches the first subject and says: “The moment of truth! Now we will know what thoughts inhabit your head!” The host puts the headdress on the guest, and the DJ plays a witty or funny line from the song .
There are other, no less interesting and fun, scenarios for this competition:
- Fortune telling . The presenter can conduct this competition in the extravagant image of a gypsy (gypsy). At the beginning of the game, the toastmaster can announce that today he is more generous than ever and will predict the future for free using a magic hat. Then the track that plays after the host puts the hat on the guest will be a prediction;
- Wish . In this competition, the musical accompaniment voices what the guest, bride, groom or parents of the heroes of the occasion wish to other people.
How to fill the pauses?
The mind-reading hat is a very interesting competition option for guests, especially if you choose the right song fragments. But a large share of responsibility lies on the shoulders of the presenter, who should make interesting comments after the tracks have been announced.
Important! Throughout the entire competition, you need to monitor the mood of the guests: whether they react to jokes, whether they like this competition or not. If those present did not appreciate this game, then it is better to stop it.
When the toastmaster goes from one guest to another, there will likely be awkward pauses. To avoid this, you need to diversify the seconds of silence with jokes and witty comments . These phrases can be either improvised or prepared in advance. Here are some options for phrases that can be used to fill pauses:
- And now we will play, we will unravel your thoughts.
- So we learned the whole truth, how are you, guests, not tired?
- Why is the neighbor not cheerful, hanging his head?
- Can't find a place for ourselves, we're coming to you, bride!
- Somehow our father-in-law is depressed, maybe you don’t like your son-in-law?
“Whoever didn’t have time is late”
To play this game we will need 5 - 7 people. A stool or small table is placed in the middle of the room. A certain number of glasses are placed on it - one less than the number of participants in the competition (if 5 people are playing, 4 glasses are placed, etc.). An alcoholic drink is poured into a glass and cheerful, catchy music is turned on. Adult participants must walk or dance around the stool until the musical composition stops, after which they have time to take a glass and drink its contents. The one who doesn't get it is out of the game. The glasses are filled again with alcohol, the music is turned on and the game continues according to the same scenario. Don’t forget, after one of the participants leaves, one glass must be removed from the table. The winner is the one who manages to take the last remaining glass. Please note that it is preferable to use low-alcohol drinks such as champagne or wine.
Props
Props are one of the most important components of the competition. It’s good if everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The course of the game depends on the props and their quality. All you need for the competition is a hat, musical equipment and recordings of songs . But it's not that simple.
Magic hat that reads minds
What should the headdress be like?
- The hat should not damage the ladies' lush hairstyles , so it is advisable that the headdress be large, but at the same time light;
- In order for the headdress to retain its appearance and keep its shape, it must be made of dense material;
- The hat should be bright and attract the attention of guests. You can choose a hat to match the style of the wedding (for example, you can find a nautical style hat);
- If the celebration takes place on the street, then it is better to choose some kind of light headdress, for example, a headband or a wreath.
In order not to violate the rules of hygiene, it is better to acquire several hats.
Music
Song fragments should be selected to the appropriate issue or situation. They should be fun or unexpected. It is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the recording and to ensure that the songs during the competition are played at a sufficient volume so that all guests can hear them. It is advisable that the song fragment is not very long, 15-20 seconds is enough .
Note! The song fragments selected for the competition should be fun and humorous, but in no case should they offend or embarrass people.
Some examples of suitable songs:
- Irina Alegrova “All of us women are bitches”;
- Yuri Nikulin “But we don’t care”;
- Igor Nikolaev “Let's drink to love”;
- Flowers “We wish you happiness”;
- Nadezhda Kadysheva “I got drunk and drunk”;
- Elena Kukarskaya “Little by little”;
- Natalya Mogilevskaya “Love me like this”;
- Alla Pugacheva “Call me with you”;
- Cote d'Azur "I want to get married";
- Alina Vegel “I want, I want, I want”;
- Andrey Mironov “I’m getting married”;
- Oleg Mityaev “It’s great that we are all gathered here today.”
"Crossing"
To hold this competition for adults for the New Year 2022, you will need a spacious room, 4 chairs and two couples (a guy and a girl). We place the chairs at a distance of 3 - 4 meters from each other. The guy must move the girl from one chair to another 10 times. At the same time, each time there must be different positions (i.e. the first time he can carry the girl in his arms, then on his neck, then carry her on his back, etc.) Repeating the poses is prohibited! The winner is the couple who completes the relay race faster, using the most diverse and original positions.

Benefits of participating in competitions
It cannot be overestimated, since it is in competitions that resilience, the ability to pull oneself together, strength, resourcefulness, etc. are demonstrated. This is why it is very useful for children to participate in any competition. As mentioned above, not all children are ready for this, so you should wait a little. However, those who have participated in the competition at least once will probably want to do it again and again. You will only have to prepare the child a few times; in the future, you will only need support.
The main thing is for the child to understand: his most important fans and even fans (you can call yourself that as a joke) are his parents, who, no matter the outcome, will consider him a winner. This will be the most effective motivation.

Try to guess
Surely, you have already played this game, which is sometimes called “Friday,” or you have seen its principle in some films. Interesting and fun entertainment at the table!
The cards are attached either to the forehead or to a special cardboard rim. Probably, the second option is preferable; the poet will either have to make such headbands ourselves, or buy a ready-made version of the game in advance. The essence of the game is to put a card on your forehead with the designation of a person or character (this should be a person known to everyone). Each participant should see the cards of other participants, but not his own. Select cards with inscriptions in advance. You can prepare them immediately at the table for all participants - distribute empty cards and pens. Players write any name and attach it to the forehead (rim) of the person sitting, for example, on the left.
Options for possible inscriptions: Michael Jackson, the name of one of those present, Sherlock Holmes, Britney Spears, Olga Buzova, Philip Kirkorov, Terminator, Little Red Riding Hood and so on. In general, everyone should have a chance to guess what is written on their card. Now the solving process begins with leading questions: each participant can ask one question and voice their answer. Then the next player asks a leading question, and so on in a circle. Examples: “Am I a woman?”, “Do I sing?”, “Am I a foreign star?”, “Am I starring in Blue Light?” and so on. It is advisable to say an answer option when you are completely sure of it. An incorrect guess must be penalized (for example, by skipping a question). The last one who does not guess what is written on his card fulfills the wish of the birthday boy. It could be a song, a poem, a dance. Surely, the birthday boy or girl will really like the competition.
Bon appetit
Looking for a little fun at the table? We offer you an interesting idea, but you will have to prepare a little for it. By the way, it’s best to take this exciting quiz before eating – it greatly increases your appetite!
For this exciting competition, prepare in advance pictures of unusual dishes that characterize certain countries. For example: float cake (Australia), feijoada (Brazil), risotto (Italy), mussels and fries (Belgium) and so on. In general, you need to find traditional dishes of certain countries.
The players' task is to look at the picture and determine which country the food shown in the picture belongs to - where it is especially popular. All answers must be recorded. The participant who answers correctly more often than others will win. Of course, the winner gets a prize!
Panic
Interesting writing competition. So, this entertainment is quite appropriate for a birthday party and will cheer up any company. The only preparation for the competition: stock up on a lot of small pieces of paper and pens.
Players are divided into pairs, and it is more interesting if this is done by lot. Each team (pair) is given a pen and a lot of pieces of paper. It’s good if everyone writes at least 25 words (each on a separate piece of paper).
Write without consulting each other, and without discussing it - just what comes into your head. Condition: these must be simple nouns and not made up words. Example: potato, bowl, guitar, window, sea, sky, closet, bed, forest, fox, plate, child, sofa and so on.
All pieces of paper are thrown into a bag (opaque bag) or a hat. Now the fun begins. Start the game with any pair. The first player receives a bag of papers, after which he takes out one of them and tries to explain to his partner what is written there. For example, he took out a candy wrapper with the inscription “orange”. He says: “An orange fruit, like a tangerine, but a little bigger.” If this description is not enough, it explains further. As soon as your partner guesses the word, you can move on to the next piece of paper. You have a minute to complete the competition. During this time you need to unravel as many words as possible. Next, the partners change places: the one who guessed guesses. Of course, the pieces of paper that have been solved must be put aside. The next pair plays next. The team with the most “solved” candy wrappers wins. This is by far one of the most fun birthday contests you can do.
