Game “Building a house blindly”
To play the game you will need: • scarf - 8 pieces; • parts of the house printed on separate sheets; • Whatman paper; • felt-tip pens of different colors - 8 pieces. So, for this game you will need eight people. The presenter gives everyone a piece of paper with a part of the house - the wall of the first floor, the wall of the second floor, the wall of the third floor, windows on the first floor, windows on the second floor, windows on the third floor, doors and roof. We give everyone a felt-tip pen and blindfold them. What is the game: each of the participants must go to whatman paper and draw the part of the house that they had written. The task is not easy. After all, all participants are blindfolded. Those sitting in the hall watch everything that happens. After all the participants have drawn, the presenter unties their eyes and shows them what they have created. Each participant is given memorable gifts.
Personalized gifts for Builder's Day
Often on professional holidays they give personalized gifts with congratulations or humorous phrases. These are flash drives, mugs, diaries, thermoses, calendars, etc. - pleasant little things that your colleagues will be happy to use at work and at home.
You can order such gifts in almost every city in Russia, production from 1 piece, 2-3 days. What could it be? Sets of sweets in personalized boxes, beer mugs, personalized diaries, Oscar figurines, flash drives with an individual signature, calendars, etc.
Competition "The best leader of the evening"
To carry out you will need: • fresh cucumber; • fresh tomato; • bell pepper: • cutting board; • chef's knife; • plastic bowl. The presenter selects 3 pairs of participants. In each pair, it is necessary to decide who will be the leader and who will be the assistant. Before each pair of participants, the facilitator lays out all of the above. The conditions of the competition are as follows: with the hands of a helper, each of the leaders had to cut all the vegetables and put them in a plastic bowl. At this time, the helper himself does nothing, he can only pick up the knife and the product, but the manager, controlling his hands, makes all the necessary movements. The winner is the pair who completes the task faster and better.
Corporate event scenario:
“Building is a peaceful profession!”
Builder's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of August; this year this day falls on the 12th. At this time it is still warm during the day, but in the evenings it is much fresher.
When preparing for a corporate event, think about the best place to spend Builder's Day. It’s great to go out into nature, but so that you can go into a house (for example, at a recreation center) and relax. It’s great to have a corporate event on a boat. If the company's funds allow, the ship is rented for the whole day and it is only at your disposal. The holiday will be perfect in a cafe or restaurant. Where there are already ready-made menus, table settings, etc. But in any case, you will need an entertainment program that will allow you to remember Builder's Day 2012 for many, many months.
To create a festive mood, the room where the holiday will take place needs to be decorated. In addition to flowers, balloons filled with helium, released to the ceiling, and left with serpentine curls with strings, look very beautiful. These same balls can then be used in entertainment and competitions.
Attach a wall newspaper and a “Builder’s Day” poster to the wall in a visible place.
You can also prepare the attributes of a builder in advance: Helmet, Brick, Trowel, and place these items on a pedestal as a symbol of the ongoing celebration.
The presenter begins the celebration with words:
There are many professions necessary for the beneficial existence of a person. But the construction profession is the most peace-making one. After all, the first thing after destructive wars and cataclysms is that a person begins to restore homes, entire cities. The profession of BUILDER is rightfully a peaceful profession.
Congratulations in verse on Builder's Day

It was created for geologists, foremen, for welders, designers, for everyone who is associated with the construction regulations, who makes success in construction! All these professions are not simple, As it seems to us all at first glance, This requires golden hands, “Be intelligent” - people say! And today, we congratulate them, We wish them all creative victories, We wish you health and happiness, And beneficial, long life!
The floor is given to the director of the enterprise. It's time to remember how the enterprise was organized. In what year was it founded, how did it develop, what names and changes did it undergo? What important and significant objects were built. What heights have you reached? Plans for the future, development prospects.
Usually, certificates, medals, orders are awarded at a professional holiday
It is important to prepare and recognize all the noteworthy workers. Awards are presented by high-ranking guests of the enterprise
Next, the floor is given to the veterans of the enterprise, they are guests of honor. If there is an opportunity to celebrate everyone, remember what successes this or that veteran has achieved. I remember the stories that were prepared in advance by veterans of the enterprise (retired). Veterans can be supported by young construction workers.
Presentation of memorable souvenirs. Souvenirs are given to everyone present so that the memory remains and the corporate party participants can use it. There are many souvenirs associated with Builder's Day: helmet openers, keychains, trowels, etc.
After the ceremonial part, competitions and games are held. Musical pause.
Competition "Building a High-Rise"
For the competition you will need: • Whatman paper; • colored markers. We divide everyone who wants to participate into two teams with an equal number of participants. We attach whatman paper at a certain distance, and give each of the participants colored markers. The presenter gives a signal that indicates the start of the competition. Each participant must run up to whatman paper and draw a square. This is all done in the form of a tower until the presenter stops the competition. Then the number of pieces for each team is counted. The team that drew the most geometric shapes won. We reward each participant with memorable prizes. Game “I can build...” This game requires 4 people. Let's combine them into pairs. The presenter gives a command, and each of them in turn voices the structure that he could build. We give an example: “I can build a garden” and so on. The game is played in two stages. The first one lasts no more than 2 minutes. The presenter must count the number of structures built. Whoever named the least gets a small memorable surprise and is eliminated from the competition. We pair the winners and continue the competition. Time - two minutes. Whoever names the most wins and is awarded the title of “Best Builder of the Evening.” For a more interesting game, you can prohibit pronouncing names that have already been mentioned.

Balls
Decorating always helps create a festive mood, so it's worth spending a little to give your office a makeover.

Of course, I always suggest “inflating” the holiday with the help of beautiful thematic compositions. It could just be cute fountains, bouquets and garlands. If you wish, you can order the decorator a figure made of balloons: a builder, a house, construction tools and equipment.
Often they decorate the hall where the ceremonial part is supposed to be held, office rooms, construction sites of popular objects in the city, a tent in which a banquet is planned, etc.

Builder's Day Cake
I'm talking about those cakes that, first of all, are decorations themselves.
They are certainly delicious, and such masterpieces are an excellent prop for a holiday photo shoot. Instead of a cake, you can order small cakes - popcakes and cupcakes, which are also always decorated in the desired style. At least bricks with helmets.

Music
If on a holiday your team is greeted at the office entrance by a small orchestra playing construction hits, the smiles of your colleagues are guaranteed. You can invite bards, a saxophonist, a cover band. Let it be fun from the very morning! This is especially appropriate if no further events are planned.
Competition "Sweet Tower"
To carry out you will need the following: • milk chocolate bars - 6 pieces. Before the start of the competition, the presenter must break two chocolate bars onto three plates. So, we call three willing people. The organizer announces the terms of the competition: you need to build a chocolate tower from this material. The one who builds the fastest and whose tower will stand and not fall, wins. All participants receive memorable prizes. Game "Helmet" An entertaining game intended for the entire team of builders. The organizer of the holiday invites everyone to stand in a circle. After the command, cheerful, energetic music sounds; each player must put a helmet on his head, take it off and give it to another. After some time, the music stops and whoever is wearing the helmet is eliminated. The game is based on elimination. The winner is the one who is left alone with the helmet. Such a player receives the title “Most Agile”. If the organizer notices that someone is cheating, then he has the right to automatically remove the player.
History of the industry and holiday
The beginning of the construction industry can be considered the 10th century, when the first buildings made of stone began to be erected in Rus'. And even though the speed of construction of temples, princely palaces, and apartment buildings was minimal, they were able to survive to amaze contemporaries with their sophistication and monumentality.
Construction in Rus'
During the Stalin era, the first communist and youth construction projects appeared
Attention was paid not only to the construction of housing stock, but also industrial construction. However, engineers still preserved the pre-revolutionary traditions of decorating facades, erecting buildings with high ceilings and spacious halls, wide staircases
Everything changed dramatically after the war. The country was destroyed, and the primary goal was to provide housing for the people. This is how the idea of building high-rise buildings without frills appeared. “Khrushchev buildings” were erected in the shortest possible time, and citizens were incredibly happy to “have their own corner,” even if it was a minimal area.
It was at this time that builders and foremen, plasterers and painters, estimators and masons, and project managers became especially in demand. A simple man in a helmet from all the posters called on young people to take part in the nationwide construction project.
The construction boom of the late 50s inevitably affected the holiday calendar. On the initiative of Khrushchev, who was amazed by the scale and speed of construction of the Zhigulevskaya hydroelectric power station, an official holiday of builders was established in 1956, which was celebrated in the summer in August. In fact, in those years, just over 10% of Russia's housing stock was built. Therefore, the holiday itself can be safely considered a tribute to the builders of the 50s.
Despite the collapse of the Union, the date of the celebration, when it is customary to celebrate, has been preserved. It is floating and always falls on the second Sunday in August.
Competition "Let's build it brick by brick"
To carry out you will need: • empty match boxes; • PVA glue. Two participants are invited for the competition. Empty matchboxes and glue are laid out in front of them. The participants' task is to build a house. Mandatory condition: the house must have windows, a roof and doors. Ten minutes are given to complete the work. The winner is determined by audience voting. Whoever has the best and neatest house is the winner. Such a player receives the title of “Best Handler of the Evening.” The remaining players receive memorable prizes.
Options
In order for the event to be memorable and give a lot of positivity, you need to try not to turn it into banal gatherings at the table. will take care of all organizational aspects.
When planning a corporate event, it is necessary to take into account many nuances - the number of people, time and date of the event, organize transportation for participants and their meals, and also write an interesting script in which everyone will be involved. If this is not done, some employees will stand on the sidelines and get bored, which will negatively affect the overall atmosphere.
Here are just a few ideas that can be implemented:
- Creative talent competition. In any company, including a construction company, there will be people with hidden or obvious abilities. Turn the celebration into a little competition and let everyone show what they can do. Playing the guitar, singing, magic tricks, dancing - everything is limited only by your imagination;
- Festive party in a cafe or restaurant. It definitely needs to be “diluted” with fun competitions. You can invite stars, hold master classes, play “Mafia” and other board games. It is advisable to play with the theme of construction so that the participants do not forget why they gathered here;
- A trip to nature. We recommend this option to you, because fresh air, physical activity, and teamwork have the best effect on the overall atmosphere in the team.
Competition "The most dexterous porters"
• empty cardboard box; • balloons (pre-inflate); • wooden shovel; • cart, or plastic basket. To participate, you must assemble two teams of four to five people. In front of each team we place a box with inflated balloons and give out 1 shovel. We place the basket at a decent distance from them. So, the conditions. Using a shovel, each participant must move the ball from the box to the basket. You cannot hold the ball on the shovel with your hands. If it falls, then the participant starts all over again. So, each team member must do this. The winner is the team that completed this task the fastest and most efficiently. We reward the winners with memorable prizes.
Fedya the dancer
You will need 3 teams of 3 people. If there are not too many people, you can leave only two teams, because each competition requires a sufficient number of spectators. The props here will be cheap wallpaper and wide packing tape. The teams’ task is to choose “Fedya” among themselves and wrap it in wallpaper, just like in everyone’s favorite movie. After this, he must dance some cheerful dance to a well-known melody. The winner is the team that was able to wrap “Fedya” correctly, make the right holes in the right places on the wallpaper, and the wrapped participant, in turn, danced better than others. All further competitions take place one after another, as they are a logical continuation of the previous event.
Why should we build a house... Should we draw it?
The presenter invites everyone to take part in the competition. Depending on the number of employees, they can be divided into teams - “brigades”, the captain of each of which will be called a “foreman”.
So, for the competition you will need:
- sheets of paper (they can be mounted on the wall or used for this on an easel);
- markers;
- impermeable blindfolds.
Host: Everyone knows that a builder is a jack of all trades,
At least he can build a palace - just like that, out of boredom...
And today he has a super important task -
Build a city in an instant on sheets of paper!
Participants are asked to draw urban infrastructure objects (apartment building, clinic, kindergarten, school, store, etc.) on sheets of paper while blindfolded.
If the competition is between teams, then each will have to create their own city with the same objects. If each employee participates individually, then a collective “city” should emerge.
In order to decide who will draw which building, you can write all the objects on small pieces of paper, mix them and invite the participants to draw them out.
Since the players will be blindfolded, the rest of those present can verbally help them, indicating where and how to draw (left or right, higher or lower), or, conversely, try to confuse them.
Host: Yes... Our city turned out to be a nice one, but every builder knows first-hand how all real estate requires properly executed accompanying documentation.
So, what am I talking about, because we have a bureaucratic mess - we have a city, but it doesn’t have a name - we need to fix this urgently!
City name
All participants can participate and propose their own version of the city name; the most original and creative name should win. To make it easier to decide, you can organize a vote with the results counted.
After the name of the “city” is given, it will be possible to decorate the wall with the resulting drawings with the name, and organize an interesting place for memorable photographs.
Another option to continue the competition is that the presenter can invite the participants to decide on the position of mayor of the city and give him a large toy medal with the inscription “mayor” as a distinctive and memorable souvenir.
Construction is life
Presenter : Today our respected builders tried their hand at urban planning, and even gave a name to their own city.
But construction is neither more nor less, but a whole life, and probably each of those present has many interesting and funny stories behind them.
Next, everyone is invited to share their funny stories and memories of their work.
Roofing pie
The competition is individual. Several people can play. At the preparation stage, small festive caps are hung at a height of average height or slightly lower. There should be as many of them as there are people playing. Participants receive a large cap and put it on, after which they are tightly blindfolded. Then they spin you around and force you to squat. When standing up, the player must hit the one that is suspended with his cap. The winner will be the most accurate. It is imperative to involve young people and recent company employees in competitions. After each, the presenter names the winners and separately notes the new and young ones. This will be a smooth transition to the next part of the event.
Active team building
Big game
This is a very interesting event for large groups from 100 to 500 people. There are a lot of interesting props of huge sizes: 3D tic-tac-toe 2.5 meters high, four-meter Jenga, puzzles of several square meters, gears with a diameter of up to 1 meter, etc. Read more about the Great Game here.
Sports team building
For Builder's Day, you can organize sports tournaments, competitions or Olympics of any scale. These can be real football matches and athletics competitions. More often, customers choose sports competitions with interesting props, in which people with different levels of physical fitness can take part. There are ready-made solutions with an inflatable obstacle course (“Challenge Accepted”).
Quest
The interactive quest does not involve much physical activity. All tests involve the presence of unusual props that need to be opened, put together like a puzzle, passwords guessed, etc. There are many different thematic quests, there is a choice. .
Chain reaction
This is an interesting game with a set of giant construction sets, similar to the school construction sets that are used in labor lessons. The size of the parts can be more than a meter. From these parts, according to a special scheme, you need to make a mechanism that will participate in the final task. Once all teams have completed their work and placed all the assembled elements side by side, they will create a mechanical chain that will power the large clock. If any command makes a mistake, you need to quickly correct it and start the chain reaction again. Interesting!
Jeep tour or corporate bike ride
Outdoor activities are an excellent option for celebrating a professional holiday or Company Day. Jeep tours are suitable for groups from 9 to 50 people. Breakfast, picnic, photo session along the way. Lots of impressions and bright emotions.
Bike rides are suitable for people with different physical fitness, since the routes are offered not only difficult ones in the Moscow region, but also short and simple ones in Moscow parks.
More about jeep tours. More about bike rides.
Creative programs
Many creative programs can also be carried out in the office, but most often customers choose a cozy restaurant or cafe. Some establishments offer banquet halls or summer areas for such master classes and art team building.
There are two options:
Creating an overall picture from fragments or a corporate gallery
This team building lasts about two hours. Your team will be divided into small groups of 2-7 people, and together you will create one large canvas or a series of paintings in the same style. I described in more detail how everything will be organized here.
The plot is chosen in advance. The paintings will be dedicated to your company (we call the large canvas “Company Mascot”). The finished masterpiece can decorate a large wall in the office and remind you of joint creativity on Builder's Day for many years to come.
Musical and rhythmic program “Nobody cares”
Oh, this is very cool! The program is hosted by a traveling musician who collects noise percussion instruments around the world. He has percussion and a large darbuka drum for each employee. At some point in the program you will be divided into groups and will be helped to learn different rhythm parts. In the finale, the entire construction team will unite into a single orchestra. Fun, loud and impressive!
All this lasts 40-80 minutes. It can be held in the office, in a restaurant, in the fresh air, in a tent. More details here.
