A New Year's quiz for a corporate party is an entertainment that will not allow guests to get bored during the holiday, will dilute other table games and give a break from active dancing.

Youth Day cool competitions

How it works

10-12 objects familiar to everyone are placed in an opaque bag or sack. This could be: a comb, curlers, a screwdriver, a toothbrush, a tennis ball, a paper clip, a stapler, etc. Participants take turns pulling out objects and trying to find the coolest or most unusual uses for them. Those who fail are eliminated from the game. Simple answers “You can brush your teeth with a toothbrush” or similar ones do not count. If you wish, you can complicate the task and invite participants to choose two objects and come up with ideas for what purposes they can be used together.

Dancing fingers

Participants are invited to choose a partner to dance a famous ballroom or folk dance together. But the partners will have to perform all the movements of rock and roll, foxtrot, waltz, czardash or gypsy with an exit not with their feet, but with their fingers, index and middle fingers. The role of the dance floor is performed by an ordinary table. So that everyone present at the festival can watch the competition, the “dance steps” can be filmed and broadcast on a large screen.

Instructions

It is easier to cope with any unfamiliar task by following detailed and well-written instructions. Contestants must also write instructions for the “most difficult” cases. The topics are humorous. For example, “How to teach a hedgehog to fly”, “How to persuade your younger brother to make room for the computer?” “What is the correct way to eat a pie?”

Holiday card

Three to five teams can participate in the competition. Task: draw colorful cards on large sheets of whatman paper and come up with heartfelt congratulatory speeches for very unusual holidays: Groundhog Day, Raspberry Speckled Rabbit Day, International Bagel Day, Smiley’s Birthday, World Day of Selfless Deeds, etc.
