It is quite popular to hold events in bath complexes. Because there is a relaxing atmosphere here that puts the birthday boy and his guests in the right mood. In such institutions everything is provided. In addition to the entertainment and steam zones, there is a banquet hall, where it is convenient not only to raise toasts to the hero of the occasion, but also to participate in the entertainment program. For these purposes, cool competitions for a sauna for a birthday for a fun company were invented. All the best ideas are collected here.
Games are divided into three main categories:
- Children's. Suitable for birthdays of children and adults, where there is a children's audience. Usually this is active entertainment or an easy quiz with prizes.
- Alcoholic. Exclusively for adults. Such competitions are designed to play up drinking by preventing excessive drinking.
- Adults. These are more complex quizzes, active games with a touch of spice and funny competitions for fun photos and videos.
In the article you will find entertainment for each category. Active and table games are presented here. For every taste and color, as they say. So read, choose and play!
To save money, the program is conducted by the guests themselves. Either one person is selected, or the games are divided among several guests. You can act as a presenter as a gift, as an option.
Children's sauna competitions
Children usually do not leave the pool, so it is recommended to spend the main entertainment in this area. A couple of quizzes wouldn't hurt. Let's look at the best options.
Marine relay
Naturally, a sauna is complete without water activities. Especially in a children's company. What's a fun way to beat swimming? Read on.
You will need:
- tennis balls (the number depends on the number of participants);
- buckets (or other containers).
There are containers at one end of the pool and small balls at the other. Participants are divided into several teams. The first representatives take one ball at a time, swim to the other “shore”, throw the ball into a bucket and climb out of the water. Then the second representatives of the teams perform the same actions. That group wins. Participants in which will quickly cope with the task of sending all the balls into the container.
Water volleyball
Quite a well-known game of the beach season. You will need an inflatable ball and a cheerful mood. You can hold amateur matches, or you can turn everything into real competitions.
Collect the balls
You will need:
- balls;
- buckets.
The presenter throws several balls into the water. 2-3 people are invited to participate. The task is to collect balls from the water into a bucket.
The one with the most balls in his bucket wins.
Ship
The competition will only work in large pools, from 7-8 meters in length.
You will need two large air mattresses, which will serve as ships.
Two participants board and gather people onto their ship until the host stops the game.
At this moment, passengers can wait for their ships at the edge of the pool, or splash around in the pool itself.
The player who gathers the most people on his ship wins.
Quest “Find sweets”
Children come to birthday parties not only to have fun, but also to enjoy sweet treats. Only trouble is, the treats were stolen. The children's task is to find them using clues.
All the nuances of the quest are worked out by adults in advance. All details are also prepared in advance.
Mini-quest scenario:
- On the table in the banquet area there is a note with the following text: “Your sweets have been stolen. Search time is half an hour. If not found within the specified time, the sweets will be destroyed. To understand where to start looking, re-enter the room.” A hint will be waiting for the children on the threshold of the complex. A distinctive sign will indicate the location. For example, a tied helium balloon with a note inside.
- The first hint that will be found at the doorstep will contain the following text: “To find candy, you need to study the map. The card does not wait at the door, but where all the guests are fed.” We are talking about a banquet area. A packing bow will be found in a visible place. When one of the participants takes it, he will see that there is a thread behind him. The end of the thread is located in a place that is not visible to the eye. For example, behind a sofa, some kind of cabinet, etc. A note is tied to the end of the thread: “Do you think it’s close? It would be too much. Do you really like it here? How about taking a steam bath?”
- Everyone goes to the steam room for the next clue. The note will be hidden in the broom. “He who loves the heat must cool his ardor.” Everyone goes to the pool. At the bottom (in a shallow place) there will be a bottle with a map inside. The map will show the place where the treasures are hidden.
