Summer corporate parties: new ideas for outdoor leisure. Funny outdoor games for adults in nature Contests for a summer corporate party in nature are cool

The financial crisis has slightly clipped the wings of the broad Russian soul, but companies do not want to leave employees without summer entertainment. Finparty talked to event industry experts about how corporate outdoor recreation and more will be held this season.

Anatoly Volnov, agency "Intelsport":
VIP areas are a thing of the past

Summer corporate parties this year are held, as they say, "within the framework." Due to thinner budgets, companies and banks have shifted their focus. Summer picnics have replaced restaurants with their rich menus, snow-white tablecloths and helpful staff. Most often they are called family: the employee has the right to take one of his relatives or close friends with him. Gastronomic preferences have also changed - at all summer parties alcohol is served in a very moderate amount, at some parties they do without alcohol at all, and instead of red caviar they offer cooked hamburgers and hot dogs here. This does not affect the quality of the holiday: people also walk and relax, but do not arrange a feast during the plague.

For the second year in a row, many companies support family values ​​and a healthy lifestyle through their events. Everything that is connected with joint pastime is built around this. For a corporate trip, a city park is often chosen, where employees can simultaneously participate, for example, in a dance flash mob organized for them, a culinary master class and visit a music festival. Entertainment up to a sweat, such as sports days, which includes football or, say, volleyball matches, are also in demand. And I also noticed a feature: top management began to communicate with subordinates quite closely, to go out to the masses.

For a long time at any corporate party there is no VIP-zone with gloomy security guards blocking the entrance to the box. Top management takes part in activities, talking on abstract topics with the team. Not so long ago, our agency organized a team building for VTB 24. Its head, Mikhail Zadornov, watched the concert, and during the break he talked with ordinary bank managers.

Alexander Petrishchev, Igroks agency:
the scenario of a summer corporate party should be exclusive

This season, interest in summer venues in Moscow has increased by 30-35%, and not in the Moscow region. The region is a big financial outlay: the team is usually taken out for the weekend, to a sanatorium, and this is expensive. Moscow attracts with its proximity: I took the metro and got to the place of the party. Of course, it is more environmentally friendly and picturesque outside the Moscow Ring Road, but you need a transfer. Although the rent itself in the capital is more expensive.

What else I noticed: the crisis affected the events with the artists. Companies massively refuse stars, inviting talented, but not promoted musical groups to corporate parties. Sberbank, Alfa-Bank, Zenit, which are among my clients, are already celebrating not as violently as they used to. In autumn, business games began to be arranged for bank employees more often, and in summer - barbecues in tents.

Among companies that still allow themselves corporate parties with a large budget, rafting is in great demand - rafting on rapids on inflatable boats. Outdated formats - banquets in the spirit of pirates and gangsters, offering them to customers is now considered bad form. Holiday agencies try to bet on exclusivity. Those who hold team building events, say, once a year, need unique events, not just another tug-of-war competition. Therefore, unusual hobbies are gaining momentum: now people willingly play laser paintball, “storm” military bases and look for chests in the forest.

Mikhail Klimanov, group of companies "We":
patriotism and special forces training bases are in fashion

The recent trend is to reduce the number of meaningless corporate events, team building for the sake of team building. Yes, there are still companies that give a brief on “team building booze”, but cannot answer the question why they need it and what they want to get as a result. Fortunately, the current economic situation has practically wiped out from the market those customers who put an equal sign between team building and amusement park, where they rest like for the last time.

Most companies have begun to correctly treat team building - not as a general fun and movement, but as a subtle tool that can reveal communication problems within the team. Moreover, these are not only large customers with a developed corporate culture. More and more requests for “thoughtful” team building, designed for specific tasks, come from small companies that have never been involved in building intra-corporate relationships before. They understand that the only way to survive in today's competitive environment is to make a quantum leap. And work with employees becomes an important tool for this. Every penny invested in the development of the team must be justified.

The mass understanding that established teamwork tools are not always effective and often unreasonably expensive has also opened up in recent months. Those who previously rented a suburban area for the summer program, where they installed inflatable obstacle courses and built rope towns, now conduct a city quest or rogaine. In terms of costs, the second option is an order of magnitude more profitable, and it provides much more opportunities for solving communication problems.

Another trend is holding corporate flash mobs. Over the past year, we have developed at least a dozen scenarios that require minimal financial and time costs, but work to increase team spirit and employee loyalty to the employer. The creation of lip dub clips (filmed in one frame without editing glues) was added to dance, drum and thread flash mobs FP), sign singing, mass freezelight and other similar entertainments.

The general trend of the last two years is patriotism. The regions of Russia are becoming venues for outdoor events, the topics are the history and culture of our country. Conditional pirates were replaced by ushkuiniki, Indians by Khanty and Mansi. Many requests for military-themed events. Our agency has developed, together with officers of the special forces of the Airborne Forces, several programs that have been consistently popular for a year now.

In general, people like to "dive into realism." Spending two days at a special forces base or going on a folklore expedition and writing a collective blog from there is an interesting experience. Team building participants want to learn new things, explore and discover.

Vladislav Metreveli, National Association of Event Organizers:
promote healthy lifestyle at corporate parties

Recently, customer companies have resorted to combining formats even at festive events. A summer corporate party is often preceded by a business part dedicated to topical issues. It takes place in the format of meetings with industry professionals: they try not only to captivate people, but also, so to speak, to make them think. Instead of a “conversational genre”, it is possible, for example, to organize an exhibition that creates a certain emotional background.

In favor - the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. If earlier summer programs included several competitive elements, rather primitive and unrelated, now sports leisure is given a conceptual shell. Companies hold sports days or tournaments that last more than one day, and the awards ceremony is combined with a corporate party. Sometimes they ask the event agency to build a whole obstacle course, where you need to show both physical fitness and ingenuity. Fun, challenging and commanding.

Now everything is expensive, companies count money. But it would seem that costly sailing on yachts can be arranged even with a very modest budget. Indeed, up to 90% of the costs usually fall on the entourage and related components - catering, awards ceremony, concert program.

In general, people try to do what is fashionable. For example, a marathon was held in Italy, and the company’s management thinks: “Why don’t we do a race too?” Moreover, it can be organized for quite sane money. A whole wave of corporate races has already swept across Europe and Russia, the next major one is planned for September. By the way, in such cases it is not necessary to arrange your corporate party. You can invite a team (whether ten people or a hundred) to a common event.

A field, a river, a forest - these are the places where urban residents are drawn to on holidays and weekends. There you can retire on the shore with a fishing rod, pick meadow flowers and wild strawberries, read a book in a cozy hammock. It is good to spend time in nature not only with the family, but also with the whole group or team. Today, team building events are very popular, they are called team building. In late spring and summer, they are best spent outdoors. A well-organized corporate party helps to strengthen the culture of interpersonal relations of the whole company. The scenario of a corporate party in nature must be carefully considered or contacted by special organizations involved in team building.

Goals of corporate parties

Sometimes employees can prove themselves in informal conditions. It is in outdoor games that the motivation of colleagues increases. During corporate events, the leadership qualities of some employees are revealed, hidden shortcomings in the interaction of colleagues are revealed. The organization of corporate parties has the following guidelines:

• rapprochement of the team;
• strengthening the corporate spirit;
• onboarding new employees;
• learning to work and act in a team;
• identifying the best qualities of colleagues;
• establishing friendships;
• demonstration of the company's success in the market;
• increasing the motivation of employees;
• motivation for a sense of pride in one's company and belonging to it;
• demonstration of a high level of the company to competitors;
• formation of corporate ethics, corporate identity.

Conducting team building

The best collective way out into nature is a well-organized outing. Many special firms are engaged in the organization of similar holidays. If there is no desire and opportunity to contact them, then the leaders decide to take up the organization of the corporate party themselves. For this, an initiative group is selected from among colleagues (3-4 active people). In some firms, this is done by special managers. The organizing group is doing the following:

• Calculation of the exact composition of team building participants.
• Choosing the right place. The organizers first go to this district themselves to make sure the place is safe, large, and easily accessible.
• Menu compilation. Most often, colleagues in nature prefer barbecue or shish kebab.
• Calculation of funds for the event. This includes paying for travel to the place, buying food, prizes for competitions.
• Development of scenarios and competitions for corporate parties in nature.

After all of the above actions, a date for the team building is assigned, previously agreed with all colleagues. Such trips are usually arranged on weekends, which is convenient for most colleagues.

Exemplary scenario of a corporate party in nature (fashion quest)

What do you most often do when you go out into nature? Grill barbecue, sing karaoke, guitar, dance. To involve all employees, it is better to come up with games. The scenario of a corporate party in nature in spring or summer may consist of a quest. Today, many fell in love with What is its essence? The whole team is divided into teams. Each of them must complete prepared tasks and solve riddles. This will lead the leading team to the cherished goal (maybe a prize). There must be a leader at a corporate party with a quest. He sets the tone for the entire event. Here is an approximate plan for the quest (a scenario for a corporate party):

• The goal of all teams will be a small chest with a prize. He is hidden in advance in a secret place (in a clearing under the leaves, under a bush or tree). The lock of the chest is closed with a key and they hide it in a completely different place (they can bury it). Teams will have to go through many trials and adventures to open the coveted chest. It's kind of like the adventure TV show Fort Boyard.
• Each team should have 4-6 members. Each of them will have their own task. First, they must decide on a team name.
• The host for the corporate party takes the teams to the chest and informs them that they must complete tasks in order to find the key to it.
• Once a team completes one task, it must complete the next challenge.
• The first company to find the key wins. She will take the prize.

Passing tests, colleagues can compete in dexterity, ingenuity, erudition. The main thing is that they unite the team. Here are sample tests for the quest:

• Tear down a sign on a tree. It is hung on a tree approximately at such a height that it can be reached only by standing on the shoulders of a friend. It indicates the next test.
• Participants join hands and pass the hoop to each other. In this case, the hands cannot be disengaged. With the help of head and neck movements, the hoop is thrown onto the head of the next participant in a circle.
• Friends are invited to solve the puzzle with the encryption of the next test.

Thus, one of the teams will be the first to find the coveted key. Such a corporate party scenario in nature allows colleagues to show erudition and imagination. The quest can be geographical (for knowledge of geography), historical or literary.

"Gift to a friend"

Scenarios for a corporate party in nature can be different. Where, for example, can one begin acquaintance with a glade? How to settle in a new territory? Most often, the team building leader first announces the "Best Gift for a Friend" contest. It must be found directly in the area where the participants stopped. Girls prefer to collect and give original bouquets. Many show skill and present mushrooms, a bunch of strawberries, a handful of blueberries or other berries as a gift. For men, the most necessary gift in nature can be an armful of brushwood or a log. Unusual leaves, cones, branches can become memorable gifts. Each participant must justify the choice of one or another item as a gift. Here colleagues will compete in wit. After the presentation of all gifts, the winner of the contest is selected, who is not left without a prize.

"Guess the Pantomime"

The scenario of a corporate party for adults will be interesting if it includes a competition with pantomime. The game involves two teams (all comers). Each team chooses a captain. The players of each team think of some concept, and then one person will try to portray it with the help of gestures and facial expressions. The captain of the team chooses the representing player and hints from which area the given concept comes from (dishes, fruit, wood). Teams take turns trying to guess the pantomime. The group that guesses the most silent scenes wins. For each correctly guessed pantomime, you can give stars, and at the end - a prize.

Sports competitions

Sports competitions are a real attribute of every corporate party. They remove shyness, give excitement, without which the holiday will not be incendiary. Here are some competitions that a summer corporate party can include:

• "Ball Hunters" To conduct this competition, two dozen balloons are needed. Two teams must consist of 5 people each. One group takes red balls, the other - blue. Players inflate balloons and tie them to their feet. The task of the participants is to hunt for the balls of opponents. They are allowed to pop only with their feet. The team that first eliminates the balls of competitors wins.
• Archery, throwing darts. These competitions reveal the most accurate. Darts can be thrown alternately - either with the left or with the right hand. The option can be complicated and try to throw several darts together. The most accurate contestant is entitled to a prize.
• Kayaking, boating, catamarans.
• Various relay races: in bags, with buckets on their feet.
• "Obstacle Course"

Best story writing competition

Very often in the summer, firms arrange a corporate party in nature on the occasion of the birthday (anniversary) of the company. If how to start such an event was already mentioned in our article, then we should mention the possible end of this holiday. The whole team should be divided into groups of 4-5 people. Each group should compose a story "As we noted, 15 minutes are allocated for completing the task. The peculiarity of this competition is that instead of epithets (colorful adjectives), there should be gaps in the essay. Then the captain gives the compiled story, and the rival team should insert in place of the gaps funny adjectives The main thing is that these descriptions should not be offensive Ready-made stories are read aloud and the owner of the most original and funny essay is determined The winner is waiting for a prize.

Fairy tale for a corporate party

It is often practiced at corporate parties to stage original fairy tales in a new way. So you can compose a fairy tale about all the employees of the company. The boss can play the role of uncle Chernomor, who has a certain number of heroes under his command. Each employee of the company can be associated with one or another fairy-tale hero. A feature of the tale will be its focus on what the company does. If you compose a funny rhyme in a fairy-tale form about each employee, then you can get a funny story.

Young people love impromptu theater with instant tales, where you need to quickly change clothes. So, many teams have already fallen in love with the fairy tale "Turnip" in a new way. The task of the actors is to make the fairy tale funny and show off wit. So, for example, Turnip can say the phrase: "Don't touch me, I'm still underage!" The granddaughter can say: "Grandfather, grandmother, hurry up, I'm in a hurry to the bar." Like this, you can experiment with any other fairy tale.

Features of spring corporate parties

At the end of spring, you can organize a real holiday for the team in nature. The object for such an event can be a forest glade, a park area. It is in the spring that you can arm yourself with soccer or volleyball balls, badminton. In May, it's time for a chic picnic! It is possible to conduct not only mobile, but also gambling. Those who wish are waiting for the beloved by many game "Mafia".

Collective vacation in summer

Corporate in nature in the summer is beautiful. The difference between summer team building and spring team building is that events can be held not only on land, but also on water. The rope park is a great entertainment. Summer corporate party involves going out with tents. In the summer it is possible to have a corporate party on the beach.

Summer is wonderful! Glades, logs, stumps, gazebos with benches, barbecues are waiting for guests. Especially popular in the summer is a picturesque team building to create a corporate oil painting.

Lead role

The success of future team building largely depends on the leader. In big cities, there are a lot of demanded leaders with experience. They masterfully communicate with guests and the public. It is very important to skillfully organize those present to participate in competitions. An experienced corporate leader will definitely select an approach to each employee. He will also take into account all the wishes of his customers. Many presenters themselves develop a scenario for a corporate party in nature, thereby helping the management inspire employees to new joint ideas.

Where to order a corporate

It is best to entrust a corporate event in nature (scenario, competitions) to the reliable hands of professionals. Any team building with them is doomed to success. Today there are many organizations or centers for corporate events. These people don't just organize, they enjoy it. Centers for corporate parties are individually tailored to each customer. They are very effective in helping employees look at each other from an unusual perspective. Where else, if not at corporate parties, to gain adrenaline and strong emotions? As a result, creative events lead to the creation of a team that works with the precision of a clock!

At an interesting job, you see interesting dreams.

To entertain employees during a corporate party in nature, it is enough to pick up no more than five games. At the same time, one should take into account the sports training of their colleagues and the conditions of the area where the corporate party is held.

Outdoor play #1

Inventory: plates or cups, ice cream, spoons - according to the number of participating couples.

Those who wish to participate are divided into pairs. Each must contain a man and a woman. Ice cream containers (plates or cups) are placed in front of each pair at a distance of approximately 3 meters (it can be further).

Women scoop ice cream with a spoon, take it in their mouth by the handle and carry it to “their” man.

Task: gently feed your partner, but do it as quickly as possible.

The couple that eats their ice cream first is declared the winner.

Outdoor play #2

Inventory: two long ropes.

Two teams are made up. One representative of each team takes the rope in his hand and runs the entire route (it is negotiated in advance by mutual desire). When they return to the start, the next team members take the rope.

With each lap, more and more people will hold on to the rope. When all team members grab onto it, they run one final lap.

Whichever team reaches the finish line first wins.

Outdoor play #3

Inventory: not required.

Two teams are formed: male and female, although they can be made mixed.

On a signal, the players of each team begin to take off their clothes (of their own choice) and lay them out in a line.

The team that makes the longest line of their clothes wins.

Do not forget to wear swimsuits under your clothes before the start of the game - striptease is not always appropriate for corporate outdoor recreation.

Outdoor play #4

Inventory: newspapers.

Participants are given different newspapers. They are allowed to take any place convenient for them, standing or sitting.

The only condition is that everyone must roll up one leg to the knee.

To win, this must be done as loudly as possible in order to shout down the rest. But the whole joke is that this game is not for whoever reads the loudest. The winner is the one with the hairiest leg.

Outdoor play #5

Inventory: balloons, adhesive plaster, buttons.

The number of participants is not limited. You can play in teams and each for himself.

Inflatable balls are tied to each participant at the back of the waist. Buttons are glued on the foreheads of the players with adhesive tape.

Task: punch the opponent's ball with his forehead.

The only condition is that you can’t help yourself with your hands, they should be kept behind your back. If this condition is often violated, then hands can be tied. That will be even more fun.

Outdoor play #6

Inventory: alcoholic supplies.

The most cruel game for a corporate party in nature: someone hides a net with alcohol supplies in a river (lake). You can not everything, but only, for example, vodka. And you can hide each bottle separately. Everyone tries to guess where it is all hidden, and the one who knows answers “Cold!”, “Warmer!” etc.

The game has no adequate goals, it makes no sense either.

Outdoor play #7

Badminton, volleyball (including in water), children's ball games, for example, "edible - not edible", knocked out (potatoes) are irreplaceable at a corporate holiday in nature. You can also play football, the main thing is to avoid injuries.

What is the best way to organize outdoor recreation?

Everyone has their own idea of ​​what real outdoor recreation should be like. That's why it's so hard to please everyone. When choosing entertainment for leisure, people often go in four ways.

Way one - "card picnic". The simplest and easiest choice. All you need for such an organization is to take a deck of cards with you. And while the kebab is fried, you can safely play a fool, poker or another popular game. But such a tournament is also possible in a cozy room: for this it is not necessary to get out into nature. And indoors, you don’t need to constantly press down the cards with something so that the vile wind doesn’t blow them away.

Path two - "sports weekend". This option is not as simple as the previous one and requires preliminary preparation. You will need to take care of sports equipment and a suitable place for outdoor activities in advance. Football, volleyball, badminton, relay races - this is a small list of what you can play with a large company. Such a holiday, of course, is suitable for a company that loves sports and has a good physical shape.

Way Three - "Popular Recreation". Today, entertainment such as paintball and has become very popular. It is interesting, exciting and convenient. It's convenient because you don't have to figure things out on your own. A couple of calls and companies that specialize in this will organize everything themselves. The only drawback of such a holiday, perhaps, can only be considered that it will have to spend a lot of money on it.

The fourth way - "competitive expanse". The most affordable option for interesting and inexpensive leisure. There is no need for special conditions or complex equipment, both sports and non-sports people can participate. All you need to organize is a healthy imagination and a set of interesting contests. And here are some of the most interesting versions site

1. Hot-cold

A wonderful competition, familiar to everyone since childhood. But, it is clear that there are no children in an adult company, and therefore we are talking about its modified version. It is best to spend at the moment when the barbecue is strung and laid on the grill, and there is still a lot of time before it is ready. Then the presenter, who prudently hid all the alcohol nearby, suggests finding it according to the “hot-cold” principle. That is, when the players approach the coveted cache, they will receive verbal prompts “warm”, “even warmer”, “very warm”. But if the search leads them in a completely different direction, then the phrases “cold”, “colder”, “completely cold”, “freeze” will sound. When the participants directly get to their destination, they will hear the words “hot”, “hot”, “now you will burn”, “burned”. The prize, of course, will be found drinks that can be consumed immediately.

2. Q&A

A wonderful contest game that will require very little preparation, but will provide a lot of positive and good mood. This entertainment will be appropriate at the moment when the participants loosen up a little. The essence of the game is quite fast: the host reads the questions to the participants from one type of cards, and the participants answer by reading the answer from other cards. The whole point is that the questions and answers are specially chosen to be quite frank or maybe even vulgar.

Sample questions:

1. Do you like phone sex?
2. Have you been seen stealing?
3. Do you like bald men (women)?
4. How often do you wash?
5. Do you love yourself?
6. Can I kiss you?
7. How often do you have sex?
8. Are you strong enough to stop drinking?
9. Are you a sadomasochist?
10. How often do you walk naked (naked) around the house?

Sample answers:

1. Unless no one sees.
2. I'm holding on with all my might.
3. This is my weakness.
4. Only in bikinis and stockings.
5. Since childhood.
6. Only with a bad hangover.
7. That alone gives me strength.
8. You have learned (learned).
9. And I'm proud of it.
10. I'm a maniac at this.

It is clear that the level of frankness of questions should be chosen depending on how well everyone in the company knows each other.

3. Twister on the grass

Twister is a wonderful game familiar to everyone. But after all, hardly anyone thought that it can be played not only at home, but also on soft young grass. How is that possible. Yes, very simple. To do this, you do not even need to bring a ready-made playing field, it can be made right on the spot. For the manufacture you will need grass and spray paint of the desired colors. It is applied through a round stencil to the grass and allowed to dry. And now everything is ready for a fun and provocative game.

Such entertainment will help disperse alcohol and will not let you get very drunk. But the most important thing is that all participants will receive a lot of positive emotions and spicy photos.

4. Insidious food

You don't need to prepare anything for the event. All the necessary equipment will be with you. Disposable cups and plastic bottles will be used, as well as various snacks from those that you take with you on a picnic (chips, crackers, nuts, popcorn).

The competition can be held in two ways. In the first case, competitors must pour salted nuts or croutons into a plastic bottle using only one hand. For obvious reasons, it is impossible to scatter a snack, and it is also forbidden to ask for help from those present. The one who copes with the task earlier and better than the others is declared the winner.

The second version of the competition is almost impossible, but very funny. Here, chips or salted popcorn are poured into plastic cups. This unusual load is placed on the toes of the shoes of the participants. The goal of the competition is to walk a distance of 3 m with cups, at the end of which there will be a glass of beer, which you need to drink and have a snack with the brought tasty treats. Only here it is forbidden to hold cups with your hands or somehow specially attach them to shoes or legs.

The winner is the one who first and without loss will pass all the stages. If no one copes with the task, then the consolation prize will again be beer and a snack. Fun and excitement are guaranteed here.

5. Delivery service

At the beginning of the competition, the presenter says that today there is a competition for the best and fastest delivery service. To do this, all those present are invited to unite in two or more teams (depending on the total number). Teams line up parallel to each other. In this case, team members should look at each other in the back.

Further, the host says that today each team needs to deliver only one bottle of beer, passing it from the last participant to the first. But at the same time, you can’t touch the bottle with your hands, but you can pass it only by holding it between your knees.

The winner is the team that is faster than its rivals, without dropping the load, cope with the task. The winners will receive all the bottles of beer that took part in the competition. It is better to take plastic containers of 1 liter or 1.5 liters for entertainment.

6. Naughty handles

The competition will go well already in a well-heated company. Only men are invited to take part in it, who should stand in pairs with their backs to each other. After that, each of them is given specially prepared equipment (sticks with a red-colored top and pieces of sandpaper).

After everyone has taken the right positions and received game attributes, the host gives a signal warning about the start of the competition. And at this moment, the participants must quickly clean off the red paint with the skins given out.

The winner is the one whose hands turn out to be more "playful", that is, the one who can handle it earlier. Laughter with tears in the eyes of everyone will be provided.

7. Twelve notes

Becoming a treasure hunter is interesting not only in childhood, but also in adulthood. The 12 Notes contest is a kind of quest that will allow you to plunge into an indescribable atmosphere of adventure and excitement.

The essence of the game is to find the hidden treasure. And if in childhood sweets acted as a treasure, then for adults a box of beer, a dish with crayfish or fruit is more suitable. But in order to find the hidden one, you need to go through a certain path, indications of which are 12 notes. In 6 notes, just the place of the next note will be indicated, and in the remaining 6 - different tasks.

You can come up with tasks yourself, or you can use ready-made options.

Task 1. "Nude" - you need to dance a striptease.

Task 2. “Are you weak?” - drink 1 liter of beer in 1 minute.

Task 3. "Armenian Radio" - tell 6 funny anecdotes.

Task 4. "Gourmet" - guess 6 proposed foods or drinks with your eyes closed.

Task 5. "Air hero" - burst 6 balloons without the help of hands.

Task 6. “Who is the wisest in the world” - guess 6 riddles with a trick.

8. Mute system

A cheerful company will definitely like the Silent System game. It would be nice to film the course of the game on a video camera, so that later its participants could watch the recording and laugh.

The essence of the game is that all participants line up in one row, and the leader, passing behind them, slaps them on the back a different number of times. How many claps were - such and the serial number of the participant. At the command of the leader, when numbers have already been assigned to everyone, the participants must line up in one formation in order, but at the same time, talking or gesturing with your hands is strictly prohibited.

The whole catch is that the host can clap the same number of times to several participants at once, which means that the system will turn out not just one, but several at once. Only now, the participants, who are mooing and winking at each other, do not immediately understand this, and therefore it is very funny to watch all their manipulations.

9. Universal quest for outdoor recreation

If there is not enough time for preparation, but you want to entertain friends and family with something more than just a contest or a game, the quest will be a great solution.

12 ready-made various tasks will help you spend an hour and a half with excitement and fun. See more here.

For each team, a circle with a diameter of about 50 cm is drawn. The participants are blindfolded in turn, and they stand in the center of the circle. Task: take 8 steps out of the circle and return back. The team counts steps aloud. The next participant can start the task only if the previous one managed to return to the circle, and not miss or stop at the border - in this case, you will have to repeat! The team with the best eye, whose members completed the task faster than others, wins.

"Ouroboros".

If anyone does not know, this is a snake biting its own tail. Participants become a "train" by holding each other by the waist or putting their hand on the shoulder of the person in front. The first participant (the head of the snake) should try to catch the "tail" - the last participant. It's more fun to play with more people.

"Transmitters"

This is a kind of relay race in which you need to pass one object to another in various unusual ways. It is important not only that the object reaches the last participant faster, but also that the condition is correctly observed and the object does not fall.

Different options for what and how can be transmitted:

• ball under the chin;
• a stick, holding it with your feet;
• a book in the armpits;
• a button on the index finger;
• holding an egg with your backs or foreheads, lower it to the floor without breaking it (it is better to play on the sand).

Another interesting “transfer” with the host is the “Delicious Bagel” game. Players stand in a circle, the leader is in the middle. In the hands of the players, hidden behind their backs, is a bagel, which they pass around in a circle, and seizing a convenient moment, bite off a piece of it. The presenter must guess in whose hands the bagel is in, or catch the offender “on the hot” - while biting off.

If he did not succeed before the bagel was eaten, a forfeit is due from him! Instead of a bagel, you can take a cucumber.

Team games

You can divide the participants into groups according to various criteria: for example, the captains alternately choose their team members, or the boys against the girls. Here the winner will be not one person, but the whole team, so the prize for the victory should be either intended for each participant, or be symbolic, for example, a diploma, pennant, ribbons, wreaths of winners, etc.

You can, of course, play any sports game - beach volleyball, football, mini-golf, etc. But no less interesting can be comic contests, competitions, and not only sports!

"Wet serve".

Teams are separated from each other by a line (if available, you can use a volleyball or tennis net). In advance, you need to prepare balloons in which a little water is poured (an odd number, preferably 5-7). The balls are thrown into the game one by one.

Players must throw them to the opponent's side, trying to make the service become "wet" not in their half. The game lasts until the last ball, and then the number of puddles is counted. You can play on the beach or just in hot weather. A fun squeal is guaranteed in the girls' team!

"Ninos".

It is more effective if this game is played by young people against girls. The guys will be "rhinos": a "horn" is attached to their forehead - a piece of adhesive plaster pierced with a pushpin. And the girls need to tie a balloon around the waist so that it is in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe most piquant place.

The task is clear: the “rhinos” must pierce the balls, it is impossible to catch the girls with your hands. You can limit the place of the game and the time it lasts (for example, by playing music).

"Sharks of business".

A “poverty line” is drawn or marked with ropes on the ground - two lines at a distance of about 2-2.5 m. “Sharks” will swim in this “river of business”: at first there are only two people in their team, they must hold hands. The task of the rest of the participants is to overcome the “poverty line”. But while they are between the lines, the “sharks” can catch them, and then the participant will join them, extending the “sharks” chain.

"Telepaths".

Each team has 5 people. At the expense of "one, two, three" they must, without agreeing, raise any number of fingers on one hand. And then the rule comes into play: you need to throw out fingers until each team has either the same number for everyone, or a different number for each player, that is, from 1 to 5. We remind you that you can’t collude out loud! The team that manages to do it first wins.

The competition is able to unite the company and teach to understand each other without words. Another variation of this game is to line up in a certain position in 10 seconds (the presenter counts loudly): by height, by hair color from light to dark, build a triangle, “eight”, “circle inside a circle” ...

"Table".

Each team of 3-5 people led by the captain is given a melon and a knife. The task of each team is to cope with the treat as quickly as possible. The rules are as follows: the captain cuts and distributes, and he himself has the right to eat only the last slice. Instead of a melon, there can be a watermelon, a large apple, a pie.

Conductor at karaoke. You need a leader and two teams. Each team chooses a song that they know well. The host will conduct: thumbs up - singing aloud, down - to himself. The teams begin to sing at the same time, and the leader gives them signals when to sing silently, and when to turn on the voice again. Sometimes it may not happen at the same time. The downed player is out. In the end, the last "singer", the most attentive, will receive the main prize.

Pair games

Of course, only two will not necessarily participate in the game. It means that competitions are based on the interaction or opposition of two participants. But who will be these two - it will become clear during the game!

"Halves".

Couples participate - a guy and a girl. They cling with their elbows, and with their free hands (one of them has the left, the other has the right), they must perform some action, for example, put on mittens, tear the newspaper into small pieces, unwrap 2 candies and treat each other!

"Who is in front of me?"

The host is in the center of the circle of guests, he is blindfolded. The circle begins to move around the leader until he says "stop". Now he needs to approach the person who is opposite and try to find out who is in front of him. You can not introduce any restrictions, this is already a rather difficult task.

But if the company is close, it will be fun to identify a friend or girlfriend ... by smell, not using touch, or just by the hand. If the guess is correct, the recognized takes the place of the driver. If after 2 versions the friend is not identified, the circle rotates again.

The host sits on the rug in the middle of the circle, and in the circle there are guys and girls mixed up. Everyone, except the leader, is wearing a hat. Each girl tells one of the guys a color in the ear, and he tells her the name of the flower. The host announces, for example: “White rose!” If these words are not assigned to anyone, nothing happens, and the leader tries again. If there is only a "White" guy or a "Rose" girl, then they should put a hat on the leader and take his place. But if both are available, then they should try to put their hat on the leader, and if it doesn’t work out, then on the partner.

Who remains in his hat or no hat at all - leads. Spat…

"Duel".

Young people are always happy to fight for the glory of beautiful ladies. The duel will take place on the grass, on the sand or in a shallow pool. For the belt of swimming trunks or trousers of each participant, a long flap of fabric is plugged in the back, each participant has his own color. The rules are simple: you need to be the first to snatch the opponent's flap, not allowing him to snatch his own, and victoriously throw the "pennant" up, to the delight of the fans.

"Bottle Towns".

Teams of men participate in this competition, and the girls will have to be laughing spectators. First you need to build figures for knocking down from wooden blocks, boxes or empty plastic bottles and give them intriguing names. Each team must have the same number of figures (one for each participant).

Then an empty bottle is tied to the back of the participants by the belt of their trousers. The length of the rope is about 50 cm, hanging down, the bottle should not reach the ground. And now you need, swinging the bottle, knock down all the figures without using your hands.

Water games

Very often, companies gather on the beach, by the river or near the pool, combining relaxation with swimming. Many games can be played with the expectation that immediately after them it would be nice to take a dip!

"Shell Princess".

This game must be played on the sand. Together, rake up a large sandy mountain, on top of which lay a large shell or pebble. Then all the participants, sitting around the mountain, begin to slowly rake up the sand in their direction, until the “princess-shell” slides right into the hands of ... the loser.

"Minefield".

One of the participants lies down on the sand, and around him the other players put a pebble. Condition: pebbles should not touch the lying one. He must rise to his feet without hitting a single "mines". Of course, friendly advice is allowed!

"T-shirt for memory".

This is not a competition, but rather just fun entertainment. You will need spray paints and white t-shirts - 1 for each participant. Paint a T-shirt, as fantasy tells, give it to one of the guests (and another participant will give it to you), put it on - and run to take pictures. And from the holiday, a wonderful souvenir will remain as a keepsake!

"Aquagrim".

You can use ordinary gouache. Swimsuit-wearing guests pair up for a "simultaneous body art session". After that - a fashion show of each participant, a photo session and an immediate bath!

For an intellectual company. Not sport alone lively fun

Some people prefer not reckless fun, but games that make you be smart, logical thinking, mental alertness, and also develop these qualities with pleasure in joint games. Well, we have something to offer smart and smart girls!

"Keyboard".

Everyone is standing in a circle. Each is a letter on the keyboard (any, in order). Clap your hands - press the letter. All together clap twice - space. Punctuation marks are not printed. The leader, standing in a circle (he will monitor the correctness), comes up with a phrase for printing (proverb, line from a song, etc.). He commands who will start printing (“From Lena clockwise - they started!”).

If someone clapped out of tune, the presenter asks again “What word are you typing?”, Giving you the opportunity to correct yourself. If the "seal" is lost, it will start again, but without the confused player. The phrase will be able to finish the most attentive (sometimes there are only two of them) ...

"We throw balls and words."

Everyone stands in a circle, passing a ball or other object to each other. When giving the ball, everyone says any noun, and the taker must answer with the appropriate adjective or verb. For example, "Butterfly" - "Bright!" or "Flies!" Giving the ball further, you need to say a new word. Seems easy, doesn't it?

But the leader, standing in a circle, gradually increases the number of balls! So you have to work both with your hands (passing the balls) and your head (inventing words) at the same time, and do it quickly! An excellent training of thinking, besides, very cheerful and reckless.

"What's on the back?"

One participant draws the contours of some simple object (a house, an apple, a fish, etc.) on the back with another finger. Depending on what he felt, the participant tries to show this object to other guests without using words, and they must guess what was depicted on the back.

"Gwalt - encryption."

One of the participants steps aside, while the others take out a card from the envelope, each of which contains one of the words that make up a well-known proverb or a line from a song. Then the participant falls into a circle, where everyone begins to repeat only his word at the same time. In this hubbub, you need to try to make out all the words and put them into the desired line.

Prank games

Most often, the goal of these games is not victory, but the cheerful mood of spectators and participants. The only pity is that they cannot be repeated twice in the same company!

"Ropes".

Longer ropes are thrown over the bush, to the ends of which boxes with prizes are tied (it seems so at first glance). The host announces to the audience that they need to wind their rope around a stick as quickly as possible and get a prize.

The catch is that the guests will wind each other's ropes, only from different ends. And the prizes are tied with completely different ropes, the ends of which are securely hidden.

"Labyrinth".

Several obstacles are installed on the track - a stool, a bowl of water, a rope is pulled. The participant is asked to go through the maze - first, to train and memorize the route, with their eyes open, then they are blindfolded.

Everything is quickly removed from the track, and the participant, under the advice of laughing spectators, overcomes non-existent obstacles.

"Sandpaper".

Men are given a stick, the ends of which are covered with red paint for a length of 5 cm, and a piece of sandpaper. The task is to clean the stick of paint as quickly as possible. The game is especially popular after 5 shots.

"Strong breath".

A tennis ball is placed on a stool. Two are called to participate. The host asks them to simultaneously blow on the balloon from different sides. In whose direction he rolls, he lost - the breath must be strong.

After the participants have tried this a couple of times, the facilitator complicates the task by blindfolding the blowers. While they are taking in more air, the tennis ball is quickly replaced by... for example, a plate of flour!

More fun contests for everyone

These are competitive games that do not require division into teams: everyone can participate at the same time. In such games, there may well be a winner who deserves the main prize. The rest are just having fun!

"Sweet Nothing".

You need to take turns saying a kind word to your neighbor. Whoever could not pick up an option that has not yet been heard in 5 seconds is out. The most affectionate - a prize and a kiss to the loser!

"Prize ball".

In advance, you need to inflate a lot of balloons, hide a piece of paper with the word "prize" in one of them. The rest can be empty or filled with water, confetti, etc. Hang balloons all over the site. Guests will pierce them until the prize paper is found.

"Into the piggy bank!"

Each player is given a jar - piggy bank, you can stick identification stickers on them. On the grass, stumps, the path, several handfuls of little things are scattered. Participants must collect it with bare feet and take it to their “piggy bank” - also, of course, without the help of hands. Who will be "richer"? Shows the end of the game.

Permanent hits

Simple and well-known games, loved by many companies, allowing the holiday to always go with a bang. Although they are not original, many conservatives prefer them to new notions. We will only remind you of some of them.

"A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it."

This game is always popular not only at adult holidays. It can be safely included in the program of outdoor games for children.

Each participant receives a role (pulls it out by lot) and some element of props. Then the facilitator begins to read the text of the tale, and everyone plays the role to the best of their imagination. Texts can be invented by yourself or found on the Internet, the main thing is that the words-names of roles in the fairy tale occur as often as possible.

It is especially interesting when there are many participants, and the distribution of roles is non-standard. Let them be received not only by the prince and princess, but also by the "horse" on which the prince rode, or the "balcony" on which the princess dreamed.

"Crocodile".

To show a certain word, song, movie without using speech ... What could be more exciting? It is better to play in teams so that one comes up with a riddle for a player from the other team, and he plays pantomime in front of his “friends”. You can prepare riddles in advance by writing them on cards, and pull them out at random.

Fant can be taken for losing in any previous contest or just take one thing from the players. Often, a hyped bottle is used to determine who to do the task. Well, the tasks themselves are in abundance on the Internet.

You can purchase ready-made Fanta for Adults sets on various topics, including frivolous ones, for every taste!

Mafia is a game of all time, suitable for both indoors and for a picnic.

You can come up with a lot of interesting things when going to an open-air meeting. As you can see, it is not at all necessary to turn it into an ordinary barbecue. Let it be fun and extraordinary.

To capture the most interesting moments, take care of the photographs. It is best to invite a photographer - after all, any guest, even if he is a maestro of the camera, will also want to participate in competitions. Choose, organize and have fun to the fullest!
