New Year's corporate parties with cool competitions are always a long-awaited event. Only in them the director in a hat with a deer, a formidable accountant in the role of the Snow Maiden, a courier and other employees dance in one circle. In order for the holiday to be enchanting, you need to take care not only of a rich feast, but also of an entertainment program that will unite employees at the end of the outgoing 2021 and the new 2022.
The road to the festive table
This competition is good to hold at the beginning of the holiday. The team is divided into two teams. The presenter asks interesting and humorous riddles. One correct answer - one step to the table. The distance for placing teams is selected depending on the number of participants. Sample riddles for the competition could be: - what can be seen when a woman raises her leg, the word is 5 letters, starts with “p” and ends with “a” (heel); — the hairy head fits deftly into the cheek (toothbrush); - who doesn’t get their hair wet in the rain? (bald); - Why does the goat have sad eyes? (because the husband is an asshole); - takes it to one place, and gives it to another (ATM), and so on.
New Year competitions for corporate parties with jokes at the table
At the beginning of a corporate New Year's party, you should not focus on active games with jokes; it is better to hold a couple of original competitions at the table.
While the guests are sober and constrained, they are unlikely to be able to have fun from the heart, joke about themselves and their comrades, or adequately respond to the humorous jokes of the host. Another thing is calm but funny quizzes, puzzles, competitions, auctions, forfeits, toasts, jokes, etc. for the New Year for a corporate party.
They defuse even the most tense atmosphere, lift your spirits, relax you and put you in a festive mood. Which in itself is very difficult, given the presence of superiors and subordinates in the same restaurant hall.
- If you are celebrating the New Year with colleagues: the “Unusual Answer” competition
Such competitions for the New Year 2022 for a cheerful company are suitable for those who decided to celebrate the holiday away from home. Believe me, the funniest games are played at work with colleagues.
So, the game is for the participants to be able to answer the following question: “What would you do if...”. Guests are divided into two teams. Participants ask the first question, and the second one gives funny answers. The competition is suitable for cheerful, resourceful and creative employees.
List of interesting questions:
- For an accountant and manager: “What will you do if you lose the entire company budget and employee salaries in a casino?”
- For the HR officer and ordinary employee: “What will you do if you are locked in the office?”
- For an IT specialist, accountant and secretary: “What will you do if your dog eats an important document with which you have to go to management in the morning?”
- For the cleaner and cook: “What would you do if you accidentally spilled detergent on your boss’s desk and ruined your paperwork?”
- For secretaries and newbies: “What will you do if you get stuck in an elevator with your boss?”
As you can see, the questions can be varied. But what the answers will be: funny, witty, or even peppery - it all depends on your company and imagination.
- Corporate competition “Toast by alphabet”
To warm up, each participant must make a selected toast with wishes. Then all the words must be said in alphabetical order.
That is, the first toast begins with the letter “A”, the second with “B” and so on. “And now I want to wish you a fragrant and tangerine New Year”, “Be healthy and happy, dear friends”, “Strong friendship and success to everyone in the coming year” - and further in the same spirit.
The winner will be the one who makes the most original and fun toast.
A little advice! It is better not to use alcoholic drinks in this competition; the alphabet is large, so the game can turn into something unpleasant.
- Fun competition “Transform into a Tiger”
Since next year will pass under the auspices of the Black (Blue) Tiger, it’s time to appease him by dedicating a New Year’s competition to him. The point is this: everyone, for 15 minutes, must communicate with each other not in ordinary voices, but roar like a Tiger. The loser will be the one who forgets himself by speaking in his own voice.
Those who last all this time will receive a prize - a soft toy in the form of a soft plush calf. The more jokes and fairy tales, the better. This fun and simple game for the New Year 2022 will undoubtedly appeal to all corporate party participants.
Everybody dance
Everyone is welcome to participate. The presenter plays a cheerful and lively song, or vice versa - a slow and smooth one. Participants will need to dance, but not just dance, but only with a certain part of the body. To do this, everyone chooses a card on which a specific part of the body will be written. For example, fingers, head, legs, butt, stomach and so on. As soon as the music starts playing in the hall, the participants join the dance with their specified part of the body. The most eccentric and artistic person is awarded a prize.
"Where am I?"
For this fun, you can select several people who are positioned with their backs to the rest of the audience. A piece of paper is attached to the back of each player, on which is written the name of some organization or institution, and if a sufficiently friendly company has gathered, then you can use such places as a toilet, maternity hospital, etc.
The public will see the names of these objects and answer leading questions from participants who, not knowing what is written on their backs, will ask again and again, while at the same time trying to understand what they are talking about. Such competitions for a New Year's corporate party with jokes will certainly be accompanied by ridiculous answers and bursts of laughter, which will greatly amuse everyone present at the party.
Get away from your significant other
Friends, anything can happen at a corporate party and therefore it is better to think through various excuses for your significant other in advance. Each of the participants takes out their own forfeit, which indicates a specific situation for which the participant must come up with the funniest excuse. For example, you have three lipstick marks on your shirt; you came home wearing men's shoes; you have a napkin in your pocket with Natalie’s phone number and name; you have a man's tie in your purse and so on. There is a prize for the most fun and interesting excuse.
"Boxing"
Among the party participants, you need to select two stronger men for a boxing match and put real boxing gloves on their hands. The boundaries of the ring will be marked by spectators holding hands. The presenter, with his comments, should strive to heat up the atmosphere before the future fight, and his participants prepare and warm up at this time. Then the judge explains to them the rules of the fight, after which the “boxers” appear in the ring. Here they are unexpectedly given lollipops, from which they must, without removing their gloves, remove the wrapper. The one who does it first wins.
Let's remember our childhood
The boss or leader in this competition acts as Santa Claus, to whom the children - all employees - will take turns telling their rhyme. Only you have to come up with a poem yourself and do it in such a way that you get funny lines with a request to your boss, for example^ Good Grandfather Frost - a beard made of cotton wool, Let's increase our salary in the new year. Or this: Santa Claus, red nose, Let's not work too hard. And so on. Whichever employee proves himself best and whose verse is recognized as the best, Santa Claus promises to fulfill his wish.
“Don’t take it off!”
When the fun is in full swing, and New Year's competitions for office workers follow one after another, you can try the following entertainment. Place a variety of clothing items in a box. Then the music starts playing, and at the presenter’s signal, the participants pass this box to each other. When the music suddenly stops, the one who currently has the box randomly pulls out one of the objects from it, which he must put on himself and not take it off for half an hour after that. And the competition continues. The process of this competition and the view of the audience after it are best filmed - it will make a very funny video.
Drawing a New Year's boss
For the competition you will need a large Whatman paper (a piece of wallpaper) and a marker. Each of the participants takes turns taking out his forfeit, which indicates a specific detail of the boss that he must draw, for example, the left eye, right hand, left ear, nose, shoulders, hat, suit, and so on. And each participant, in turn, with his eyes closed, goes to whatman paper and draws what he has, only the boss must be “New Year’s”, that is, if the costume is a Santa Claus costume, whoever draws the face or chin must also draw Santa’s beard Frost. Each employee must show not only his intuition and correctly position the body parts, but also supplement the drawing with New Year's details: you can draw a sleigh, bells, a bag of gifts, and so on. A Picasso-style painting should please the boss.
Fun competitions for the New Year of the Tiger for a corporate party at work
- Funny competition "Ice Breath"
Players will need paper snowflakes cut out, so have some paper and some scissors ready in advance. The task is simple: at the leader’s command, quickly cut out a snowflake, and then with your “icy breath” blow it away further than your opponent can manage. The one whose snowflake gets to the finish line indicated by the leader faster will receive a prize!
- New Year's dexterity competition “Cut the gift”
We will need scissors and a rope on which we will hang gifts: stationery, snacks, firecrackers, small toys, and so on. The rope with prizes is stretched at the height of the players. Those who want to take part in this fun game are given scissors in their hands, blindfolded, then they are spun around their axis and led towards the rope.
The task of the competition participant is to cut off any gift in one attempt. The participant who is lucky enough to snag the last prize is awarded separately - after all, this is the most difficult thing to do.
- "New Year's cleaning"
Participants are invited to collect the trash that was previously scattered on the floor (believe me: scattering New Year's trash is fun too!) into containers that the host will offer. And the presenter’s imagination simply knows no bounds! For example, it is quite possible that you will have to “put away” sweets in a champagne bottle, and newspapers in balloons. Whoever cleans up the trash first will be the winner!
- Creative competition for the New Year 2022 for a corporate party
For this competition you need to invite several pairs of participants. Each pair is given a Whatman paper and a pack of felt-tip pens. The first participant is blindfolded - he will become an artist. The task of the second player in the pair is to guide the artist’s hand so that a picture is created on a given topic.
Which one? Yes, of course, winter! Draw a portrait of the Snow Maiden, Father Frost, a decorated Christmas tree, or even your company’s logo in a wreath of fir branches!
- Team work competition “Decorate the Christmas tree”
You will need two sheets of whatman paper with pre-drawn Christmas trees and several dozen Christmas tree decorations - balls, garlands cut out of paper, as well as figurines that are not related to Christmas tree decorations (shoes, dishes, animals). The players are divided into 2 teams, each team receives a Whatman paper on which a Christmas tree has been drawn in advance.
Paper decorations are placed on the table. The players’ task is to find and “hang” more correct Christmas tree decorations on their Christmas trees, despite the fact that they are blindfolded. The winner will be the team that “decorates” its Christmas tree more beautifully and does not hang shoes or ladles on it.
- Competition "Delicacies for the Tiger Cub"
This competition is for food lovers. For the competition, delicacies for the Tiger are prepared in advance, that is, those foods that they like to eat. These are pieces of bread or crackers, cheese, cold cuts and others.
Each participant stands near an empty plate, everyone is blindfolded and laid out one piece of some product. The first person to name all the products correctly will be the winner.
- Funny New Year's competition for New Year 2022 “Dialogue between a man and a tiger cub”
Animals talk to each other with sounds inaudible to humans. The game is based on this property. One participant portrays a tiger cub, the other remains a man. The person is wearing headphones so that he cannot hear the tiger talking.
The tiger addresses the person with a pre-prepared speech or question; the person does not hear the sounds, so he must read his lips what is being said and voice his guesses. It is better to prepare questions for the employee portraying the Tiger in advance.
To a meeting on skis
The game can be played both for teams and for individual participants. Guests are late for an important meeting, but the roads, as luck would have it, are covered with snow. Therefore, you need to get there on skis. Each participant receives two album sheets and two sticks. At the “start” command, the participants get on their skis (on two landscape sheets: one foot on one sheet, and the other on the other) and begin to move towards the goal in such a way that the sheets do not disappear from under their feet. The participant who arrives at the meeting the fastest will win.
Competitions and quizzes for the New Year for a corporate party in the sauna
As a rule, you never get bored in a sauna. A bath session involves changing the steam room mode and relaxing, filled with cool water treatments or leisurely conversations with friends. In addition, most modern saunas are equipped with a billiard room, massage chairs, karaoke and TV.
And yet, in order for your company to remember a joint holiday for the New Year 2022 for a long time, you should take care of some exciting game in advance. After all, nothing brings a team together more than the opportunity to feel like a child again.
There are a great many games that could be played in saunas. Of course, you can have fun with them in any other setting. But if you take into account the specifics of the sauna, you can come up with something truly unusual. What is worth playing, and what should you avoid during bath procedures?
A few safety rules for large companies:
One of the win-win options is calm conversational games, games with drawings, or classics of the genre - cards.
- First of all, it is always relevant!
- Secondly, it gives the necessary rest to your body, which has been heated by steam procedures.
- Thirdly, physically active games in a sauna with a slippery floor can lead to an accident, but quiet time relaxes and puts you in a peaceful mood.
You should not organize highly intellectual games, even if you are all truly experts and erudite. After all, a bathhouse is a place where not only the body, but also the brain rests.
In addition, do not forget about time. If you like long board games, then it is better to indulge in them at home in a calm environment. When a game takes several hours, going to the steam room, it will have to be constantly interrupted, which obviously will not benefit the gaming mood.
There is too great a danger of mixing up the move, losing the cards, or flooding the playing field with water.
Any alcoholic games or bets are absolutely contraindicated in the sauna. If at first it seems fun, then such a pastime often ends very sadly. Inappropriate actions of intoxicated players can lead to injuries or even worse consequences, and the most harmless among them will be disputes on the topic: “Who will spend the longest in the steam room” or dive into a snowdrift.
But an excellent option for having fun in a large and noisy company can be good old forfeits, various competitions and games: “Guess who I am?”
The rules of the last game are very simple, everyone must think of a person who is fairly well-known to the majority of those present. After writing her name on a piece of paper, they pass the note to the person sitting next to her.
Everyone must identify the character they have received to the other players, but they do not have the right to look at the name written on the piece of paper.
The goal, by asking a variety of questions with “Yes/No” answer options to those present, is to guess which of the heroes they got. Moreover, if the answer to the question asked is “no,” the turn passes to the neighboring player.
A little more movement
At the end, you shouldn’t hope for rest, another dance competition awaits everyone. It will require a host who can pronounce a few simple phrases and guests who can learn a few more movements. The movements, like the words, are quite simple: “high trees” (the dancers must stand on their toes and point their arms up), “thin trees” (you need to close your legs and hug yourself with your arms), “low trees” (time to squat), “fir trees fluffy” (you need to spread your arms out to the sides and spin around in place). One of the group (the leader) must take turns shouting out these phrases, and the dancers must perform the appropriate movements, without getting confused.
"Flying gait"
New Year's corporate competitions are rarely complete without equipment, the role of which in this entertainment can be played by simple glass or plastic bottles. You need to select several participants in this competition, place bottles in a row on the floor in front of them, and then blindfold each one. Next, participants must blindly walk the distance without touching a single bottle. It is not easy for a person who has temporarily lost his sight to do this, and he will twist and sweat in every possible way to complete the task. But the trick is that immediately after the volunteers are blindfolded, all the bottles are quietly removed. It will be funny for everyone present to watch how the participants in the game, stepping very carefully and dodging in every possible way, overcome a completely clear space. Of course, the bottles must be removed extremely carefully so that none of the competition participants suspects a dirty trick.
