What is appropriate in any company at any party? Of course, table competitions. When the glasses are empty and the appetizers are already over, the soul requires fun. Here, table competitions and games are just “the very thing”: both fun and communication are easy, and most importantly, everyone is happy. It remains only to determine the topic.
Board games for the New Year .
1. The game "Panic".
They play in pairs. Pairs are formed either at will or by lot (the latter is preferable). Players are given leaflets (one at a time) and pens. Words are written on leaflets (twenty nouns each). Then the leaves are folded in a hat. And the game begins.
Each player pulls a piece of paper from his hat and, reading the words, reproduces what he read with gestures and facial expressions. The partner’s task is to name the written word. Only two minutes are allotted to the silent explanation of all the words written in the leaflet. As soon as the first word is guessed, it is crossed out. It is the turn of the second word, then the third, etc. After the time limit has been exhausted, the partner pulls the leaf.
Everything is simple, but incredibly comical: the time limit makes the participants panic, stray, scream, grimace.
When the papers run out, guessed answers are counted and the winning pair is determined. To the winner - a prize. The game is incredibly simple, exciting, and always perceived with a bang.
2. "Nesmeyana."
Two teams are active. The game appeared thanks to the well-known tale of Nesmeyan. Remember how difficult it was to make the princess laugh? Here in the game, the same meaning. The first team (“Nesmeyana”) sits opposite the second team and takes on the most serious look. The goal of the opponent (second team) is to make Nesmeyan laugh (in any way (pantomime, songs, jokes), but without touching). Laughing (or smiling) rises and goes into the second team. Winning, of course, lasting longer than the rest. Then, if desired, the teams change roles. Well, to the winner - a prize.
3. "Original toasts."
This game will revive the feast, saving everyone from the bored toasts of the same type. But the hostess of the evening (or the owner) will have to work hard even before the guests arrive. Its task is to prepare on separate cards (by the number of expected guests) their options for congratulations by writing the names of famous characters (from fairy tales, from politics, films, show business). It can be Marilyn Monroe, Yanukovych, Tymoshenko, Brezhnev, "Pusher", Wolf, Hare, Snow Maiden, etc.
The goal of the congratulator is to get as close as possible to the image indicated on the card using facial expressions, emphasis, gestures.
Birthday contests (at the table)
1. "Cabbage".
Each team must be represented by one player. The goal of the team is to put a maximum of things on your player. Losers drink the “penalty” (or vice versa).
2. "Sitting dances."
There is no need for special space. The participants remain at the table (but more spectacular and funny when those who want to participate in dances sit opposite the others). It will only take an active leader who is able to lead the "dances."
The music is turned on (rhythmic, perky), and the presenter directs: “eyes dance”, “hands dance”, “ears dance”, “left arm and left leg dance”, etc. There are many options, but you can only dance while sitting (you can’t get up). The right to choose the best dancer is given to the audience. To the winner - a prize.
3. "Who are you?"
Small leaflets are prepared by the number of participants. Each leaflet shows the name of the character (Terminator, Lady Gaga, Tarzan, Moses, Hare, Cat, etc.). They play one at a time. The player going to the center is stuck on the back with the name of the character (it is better to use adhesive tape). His task is to guess the character by asking questions, the answer to which is either "yes" or "no." For example: “Am I a cartoon?”, “Am I a guy?”, “Am I an actor?”, “Blonde hair?”, “Brown?”, “Brunette?”, “Tall?” etc. Viewers answer. Guessed the fastest-wins.
Table competitions are always a step in childhood. Let it be for one evening only, but this evening will leave a sea of positive soul and will be remembered for a long time. The table contests and games described here are appropriate for any holiday, any feast. And the division here is very arbitrary. And the description itself is a kind of template, which you can change at will, guided by your own imagination and sense of humor.
