Find out the anniversary work
For this competition, you need to ask the hero of the day in advance to do his work, based on his hobbies, for example, draw a picture, write a short poem, make ikebana, bake a cupcake, and so on. Then, in accordance with the work of the hero of the day, it is necessary to select copies of this category, for example, if the hero of the day baked something, you can buy cookies, a pie, a cupcake in the store, if the hero of the day wrote a poem, download the same short poems from the Internet. At the festival, the host displays works, baked goods on the table, if these are poems, printed on a stand, and so on. Each guest must recognize the work of the hero of the day and attach a piece of paper with his name to the work that, in his opinion, the hero of the day has completed. Guests who recognize the birthday boy's work will receive prizes.
Applause or hum
Another wonderful competition with which you can find out who knows the hero of the day best. To hold this competition, the host must also communicate with the hero of the occasion. The birthday boy should tell him some real life stories. After this, the host dilutes the stories of the hero of the day with any tales and invites guests to find out what is true and what was made up. If the guests hear the truth, as they think, then they should applaud, and if it is fiction, they should start buzzing. The participant who managed to find out the most truth wins.
Gifts for 55
This is a fun and quite interesting competition. Everyone is welcome to participate. Each participant receives 55 rubles and at the command “start” all participants go to the nearest store or stall to make their purchases. And they must buy as many items as possible for the hero of the day, only the items must be different, for example, if it is a stick of coffee - one stick or one lollipop of the same name as part of a set. The participant who quickly rushes to the hero of the day with his gifts (without change) will receive his prize.
The most careful driver
Even at 55 years old, many people love to play and be childish. Therefore, at a gala event to celebrate the anniversary, you can safely hold various fun competitions.
To conduct this competition, you need to find several toy cars with a flat roof. In addition, the presenter will also need several skeins of nylon thread and plastic cups. The threads must be tied to the front bumpers of the cars, and the glasses, after pouring water into them, must be placed on the roofs.
The essence of the competition is that participants need to pull the car to the finish line without spilling a drop of water. The participant who manages to do it faster wins.
Count - don't get tired
It’s a wonderful date, and this age opens up a second wind, which means both the birthday boy and his guests are full of strength and positive energy. And to prove their prowess, each of the guests is invited to test themselves in action. Each participant is given a box of matches (a package of beads or boxes with flowers or stars. In general, at the discretion of the presenter). At the command “start”, all participants begin to count objects. Whoever did it faster won. And in order not to count later, the host simply prepares identical sets in advance for all guests - 55 pieces of matches or beads, or some other items. The fastest accountants will receive a prize.
Do you know the hero of the day?
The perfect contest for a 55th birthday. The presenter announces the start of a quiz, the purpose of which is to identify the person who knows the hero of the day best. Before holding this quiz, the host must talk to the hero of the occasion in order to compile a list of correct answers. After the list of questions and answers is ready, you need to select “chips” that will be awarded to guests for correct answers. Sweets would be an ideal choice.
The host asks the guests approximately the following questions:
— Where did the hero of the day study?
— What is the birthday boy’s favorite dish?
— Favorite movie, song, book, TV series?
— What was the name of the hero of the day’s best childhood friend?
— The name of the hero of the day’s first teacher?
To ensure the competition is fair, the host may ask guests to write down their answer rather than shouting them out.
Real or fake
The host asks each guest in turn to determine whether it is real or fake. For this competition, you need to prepare in advance all kinds of jewelry, simple stones and, if possible, precious stones, pearls, and so on. Each guest is shown one item, and he guesses whether it is real or fake, because sometimes it is quite difficult to distinguish real gold from gilding, real pearls from a simple piece of costume jewelry, a diamond from a simple piece of glass. If the guest correctly answers the question: “Real or fake,” he, of course, receives a jeweler's prize, for example, a magnifying glass.
"Deceptions"
Two couples (married couples can also be used) are blindfolded, and five pins are attached to their clothes. They turn on slow romantic music and the couples have to find all the pins on each other at speed. The winner is the couple that is the first to realize that everyone has been deceived - for example, on the girls, as promised, five pins are attached, and on the young people - only four. Before the meaning of the deception reaches the subjects, they must rummage through all the clothes of their other half in more than one circle.
Deft hands
For this game, guests are divided into 2 teams with the same number of people. For each team, there is a 3-liter jar of cucumbers or tomatoes at the same distance. At the “start” command, the first participants run to their jar and must get one cucumber with their hand (not every hand will fit into the jar, you will have to be smart, tilt the jar, reach with your fingers), then the participant eats the cucumber and runs back to his team, passing the baton to the next participant. The race continues until one of the teams has emptied the entire jar. Whoever does this first will win.
Competitions for the 55th anniversary of a woman, a man
Notable A's
Guests are divided into several teams of 3-4 people. Each team receives a task: in 5 minutes, make a list of achievements or significant events based on the numbers “5” from the life of the hero of the day, for example, 1. At the age of 5 he was already performing on stage; 2. In 1995 received a certificate for excellent work; 3. Married at the age of 25; 4. In the 5th month of this year I bought a new car and so on.

Host and hostess
Everyone is welcome to participate. Male and female participants are blindfolded. Men need to hammer a simple nail into a board, and women need to chop, for example, an onion. Based on the results of the competition, the best, fastest, neatest pair of host and hostess is chosen, they will receive their prize, for example, for the hostess - an apron, and for the host - some kind of tool (screwdriver or set of nails).
Riddles in kilometers
The essence of the competition is for each of the guests to take turns guessing their own simple riddle, and at the same time testing their intuition and knowledge of geography. The tasks are: how many kilometers from the place where we are sitting to... (Moscow, Paris, Africa, Cyprus, Greenland, and so on). Naturally, the presenter will learn the correct answers in advance from the Internet or books. Whichever guest gives the correct answers or names at least approximately the correct mileage will receive a prize.
55 questions
The competition is held by the hero of the day himself. He guesses a word (object), and the rest of the competition participants take turns asking questions to find out what exactly is guessed. The number of questions asked should not exceed 55. If the guests completed the task before asking the 55th question, then they collectively decide how the hero of the day should pay off - with a song or a dance.
Oh those three letters
Each guest is invited to decipher the three letters of the birthday person (full name) in their own way. For example, the birthday boy is Alexey Eduardovich Bobrikov. And the participant deciphers: a great ace of extravagance. There is a prize for the most interesting decoding option, which can be chosen by applause from the guests.
Taking socks apart
Participants are divided into 2-3 equal teams. A basin with a large number of women's (for example, flowery) and men's (for example, simple black) socks is placed in front of each of the teams. Each team must, faster than the others, sort out the socks into pairs and put them on, if a man puts on men's socks, and a woman puts on women's socks. The team in which the participants are the fastest to end up wearing socks from identical pairs is the winner.
5 and 5
Since we are celebrating our 55th anniversary, the main number of the holiday is 5. So, the guests are divided into teams of 5 people, each team stands in a row and the following set is located at the same distance from each team: a 5-liter bottle, a bowl of water and a plastic glass At the “start” command, the first participants run to their goal, take water into a glass and pour water into a bottle, then run to their team and pass the baton to the second participants, the second also run to the goal, fill a glass with water and pour it into a bottle, then back and pass the baton. The team that fills their water bottle the fastest will be the winner.
Cheerful gardeners
In this competition, couples (male-female) will have to plant potatoes in a friendly and fun way. Guests are divided into pairs, each pair is given a bucket of potatoes (10 tennis balls) and holes (simple bags). The man digs a hole, that is, holds a bag, the woman throws one ball into it, and the man quickly ties it into a knot. And they do this with all the other balls. The pair that “plants the potatoes” the fastest, that is, puts all the balls into bags and ties them, that pair is considered the winner.
As a keepsake for the birthday boy
Each of the guests, on a separate sheet of paper, leaves his wish for the hero of the day in the form of a drawing and warm words, trying to leave an identifying mark on his masterpiece, for example, a signature or a characteristic sign. The birthday boy takes turns looking at the drawings and reading the wishes of the guests and determines which friend they belong to. If the hero of the day guesses the guest, the guest receives a prize.
Interesting grimaces
Each of the guests draws out his own forfeit, which indicates a specific situation, for example, at the checkout in a supermarket, in the toilet, at a meeting in the State Duma, on an airplane, and so on. Each of the guests must show with an appropriate grimace where he is. One shows, the rest guess. It will be both fun and interesting.
For good measure
For this competition, you need to prepare a large sheet or Whatman paper with a photograph or drawn image of the hero of the day and a separate column with written categories, opposite which guests will have to write their associations in turn. The column might look something like this: Flower. Beast. Bird. Drink. Film genre. Weather phenomenon. And so on. Each guest in turn approaches the stand and enters his association in the appropriate order, that is, what weather phenomenon he associates with the hero of the day, what bird he resembles, and so on. This way, each guest will try to answer better than the rest, and the birthday person will have a cheerful stand as a good memory.
Ear, nose... ear, nose...
A wonderful table competition that is perfect for celebrating a 55th birthday. It does not require any attributes, and it is better to hold it in the middle of the banquet, when the guests are tired of active competitions and have drunk a little.
The host invites the guests to grab their left earlobe with their right hand, and place the fingers of their left hand on their nose. When the leader claps, you need to change hands. That is, after the host clap, the guests should grab their nose with their right hand, and their right earlobe with their left hand. The intervals between the first claps should be quite long so that guests can easily change hands. However, with each clap, the speed should increase, so that it will be much more difficult for the guests to keep up with the presenter. Each participant who mixes up the hand movement is eliminated. The guest who lasts the longest without making a mistake wins.
The Diamond Arm
Teams of 3 people participate: one of them is the famous Semyon Semyonich from the film “The Diamond Arm”, and the other two participants are smugglers. For each team, a bandage of the same length and a bag with jewelry, for example, coins, beads, simple chains, etc., also in the same quantity, are prepared. At the command “start,” the smugglers begin to bandage the hand of their Sena. The team that completes the task faster and hides all the jewelry under the bandaged hand will win.
