Holiday competition for adults “Write an essay”

The ancient saying “The people want two things: “bread and circuses”” is extremely relevant at all times and under any regime, in any country. And of course at almost any festive event. Only the customs, type of holiday and composition of guests differ. But the venue, menu, time of day - it doesn’t matter. Having eaten deliciously and finished with the rituals - if it is a birthday or a wedding - the people are waiting for entertainment. They add a touch of fun, help bring guests together and lift their spirits. And often - to introduce people to each other. You can choose the games yourself, just search the Internet and ask your friends.

After all, for example, the same wedding - games and competitions will bring future relatives closer, help them get to know each other in a new light, and the newlyweds will be able to relax. At a corporate party, of course, for the most part everyone knows each other, except that the spouses of the employees do not know each other. But joint actions will only unite the team, bring people closer together, and this will then have a beneficial effect on work.

In general, the importance of spectacles is difficult to reduce; they must be thought out no less carefully than the menu and location of the celebration, no matter what it is.

"Write an essay"

This is bigger board game, suitable for any number of participants. Initially, you only need to prepare a stack of sheets of paper and a pen. The presenter distributes to all players a sheet of paper with a pen or felt-tip pen, no matter which is more convenient. Then, when everyone is ready, the announcement of topics begins:

-Who?

Players write down the answers on their sheets, whatever comes to mind, you just need to hide your sheet from your neighbor so that he doesn’t cheat! A variety of options: “Deer in the forest”, “neighbor Vanya”, etc. One or two sentences. Next, fold the sheet and pass it to the neighbor on the right. The facilitator asks the following question:

-Where?

The players are already on new sheets of paper, where others have written down the answers to the first question, adding their own.

-With whom?

With the pieces of paper handed over again, the players write down the answer. And so on as many times as you like with a variety of questions. The main thing is one or two sentences, and all the previous ones are carefully closed - after writing yours, you need to bend the piece of paper and pass it to someone else so that he cannot see what is written. At the end, a stack of folded sheets is handed over to the presenter and he, unfolding it, reads out the result. Stories written blindly by different people who did not know what was written before them turn out funny, with a variety of plot twists. Maybe even a detective story or a mystical story. The main thing is funny and unexpected. The competition can be repeated several times, it is simple and does not take much time. The main thing before writing your answer is not to open the piece of paper and not to peek at what was written before you - it’s more interesting.

The sheets can then be saved as a keepsake. Children used to play this game in groups; it was more common in schools, when sheets of paper and pens were at hand, and it was more convenient to write at the table. It is suitable for any age group. Some will remember their youth, others will learn new things. The main thing is that everyone will have a great time.

All participants are given blank sheets of paper on which they will write their “masterpieces,” and pens. Participants write an answer to the question “who?”, fold the piece of paper so that what is written is not visible. And then they pass the sheet to their neighbor. Next they write answers to the questions “with whom”, again pass and write the answer to the question “where” and thus also to the questions “what did they do”, “who came”, “what did they say”, “what did they answer”, “and then What did everyone start doing together?
, “why”, “how it ended.” You can come up with a lot of questions, as long as you have enough paper. After each written answer, the piece of paper is folded and given to a neighbor.

I post the results of such games with my friends (especially the funny ones). All the answers are really random, although sometimes even I can’t believe it))). I’m posting it to lift the mood, as an example of a good game and makes people think about simoronism)))) for those who are in the know.

Welcome, dear guests!

I offer you a selection of games on paper with a pen or pencil. You yourself probably played such games as a child and perhaps you still play on warm summer evenings at the dacha with your children. Some of these games can be offered as entertainment for a small celebration of the occasion or just at a party of friends, and these games are also indispensable when traveling, relaxing in nature or on the beach. I’ll start with the most famous ones, which I myself played at school right in class with my classmates.

The most popular game for two is Tic-Tac-Toe, it is so popular that I won’t even write the rules, but I can’t help but mention it, out of respect.

The second most famous game for two is Battleship, I also mention it out of respect for its gray hairs.

The game Balda is also very popular. A square is drawn on paper, which is divided inside into equal squares, most often into 25, i.e. 5 squares in width and height. Any 5 letter word is written in the center. Players take turns coming up with words, adding one letter to the written letters. Words must be nouns in the nominative case, letters are added only horizontally or vertically in any direction. The player is awarded points based on the number of letters in the invented word. After filling all the cells, the points are counted, whoever has more is the winner, but the loser is a fool.

Game Gallows. The player thinks of a word, you can choose a specific topic, then writes dashes on a piece of paper according to the number of letters in the guessed word, for example, I thought of the word “friends”, I write - - - - - -. Other players must guess the letters, they take turns calling one letter at a time, if they guessed right, then I write the letter in the required line, if there is no such letter, I draw a gallows, but not all at once, but in parts, look at the drawing, the gallows consists of 9 elements. Whoever builds the gallows first loses and goes for ice cream.

A very interesting speed game. You need to write the names of different topics in columns starting with a certain letter. You can select a letter by simply pointing at any page of the book without looking, or someone says the alphabet to themselves, and another player stops him. Whichever letter you stop on is the one where the names are written. Who finished faster shouts STOP, all players in the columns where there are no names put dashes and count points, 1 point for each correct name. If the one who first shouted STOP made a mistake in his names, he will be fined minus 3 points. If players have the same names, they are not counted and are crossed out. You can also add columns - literary works, writers, can also be divided into Russian and foreign, i.e. There can be as many columns as you like.

Let's make up a story. Any phrase is written on the piece of paper at the very top, for example, One evening good friends gathered. Then the sheet of paper is folded so that this line is not visible, and a leading question is written on top of the fold: Where are you gathered? The second player sees only the question Where are you gathered? and writes at school at a parent-teacher meeting on the topic, then folds over and writes a leading question: What were they talking about?, the third player answers the question What were they talking about? and writes: about making high-quality moonshine. When the entire piece of paper is folded, the story is complete and can be read aloud. The stories we get are very awkward, but funny and amusing.

By analogy with the previous game, we compose poems, the last word for the rhyme is written on the back. Usually we change the rhyme after 3 lines. It turns out such tercets.

We are writing a story starting with a letter; all words must begin with the same letter, not counting prepositions. Polina went for a walk in the park and got into trouble, etc.

We make words from the letters of the given word. Identical words from players are crossed out, the one who made up more words wins, they must be in the nominative case and singular. APRICOT — a short word, but from the letters of this word you can make many words: scythe, bar, slave, dew, etc.

The game “Who am I” is that players make a guess about a famous character, be it real or fairy-tale, or who lived many years ago, write the name of the hero on a piece of paper and attach it to the back or forehead (sticker) to the presenter, who does not know what They made a wish, he stepped aside for now so as not to hear. The presenter’s task is to guess what the other players are up to; he can ask any questions, players can only answer Yes or No.

A funny game with guests at a holiday can be like this: choose, say, three participants, seat them with their backs to the others and attach pieces of paper with the names of places to their backs. All guests ask questions, the players answer them. Guests see what is written on the back, but participants don’t, so it can be very funny. The places can be any: a museum, a sobering station, a library, a toilet, the president’s office, a sewer, spaceship, chicken coop. The goal of the guests is to provoke a funny answer with tricky questions.

For the proposed games you need: good company, pens, pencils, blank sheets of paper, other little things, and, of course, a comfortable location for the participants of the games.

Categories
On a large-format sheet, approximately 20 different categories are written ahead of time - car models, sports, musical instruments, animals, flowers, clothes, etc. Guests synchronously select categories (one or several depending on the number of participants), which they write down on their sheet. The players’ task is to write as many words as possible related to the selected categories, which begin with the letter specified by the presenter, within a certain period of time. After the time has elapsed, the participants in the game exchange sheets of paper and sum up the results. Identical words do not count; the player who writes the most words wins.

Elephant
The hostess gives two teams a piece of paper on which the teams all draw a blindfolded elephant in a crowd: one player draws the body, another draws the legs, the third draws the head, etc. The team that draws an elephant faster and the image really resembles this animal is the winner.

Writer
On the eve of the party, you will have to “gut” several newspapers - cut out the titles of the articles and stick them on cards. Cards are given to players, and they must write a fascinating story using the suggested article titles.

Telegram
The presenter writes a word of 4-6 letters on a piece of paper. The players (each of them) must come up with a telegram text, but each next word must begin with the next letter of the given word. For example, a given word: “post”, a text-telegram can sound like this: the first letter: “p” and the first word begins with it - beer, the second word with the letter “o” - sent, the third with “s” - dry, fourth with “t” - ram. In a telegram, the text must contain a complete thought. All participants read the telegrams according to their turn.

Who is this?
Each participant takes a piece of paper (it is advisable that the participants are quite far from each other) and first draws a head belonging to a person, animal, or bird. Then you need to bend the sheet so that the image is covered and only the tip of the neck is visible. Neighbors exchange drawings. So each player has a started drawing that he has not seen. Next, everyone draws the upper part of the body, again “hides” the drawn part and passes it to a neighbor for further drawing of the limbs. At the end of painting, all the leaves unfold and the resulting creatures are identified.

Chicken
Many people are familiar with the expression “you write like a chicken with its paw” from school; this is an excellent opportunity to write in this way legally. Felt-tip pens are attached to the players' feet (adhesive tape is quite suitable for this mission). Next, the presenter asks the word, which the players must “scratch with their paws.” The one who wrote it more clearly wins.

Self-portrait
For each participant, a sheet of whatman paper is prepared, in which slits for the hands are cut out. The players insert their hands into the prepared slots, they are given brushes (felt-tip pens) and, without looking at the sheet, they draw a portrait. The prize goes to the artist who created the most successful “masterpiece”.

Binomial
The leader of the game gives the participants pieces of paper on which he asks them to write two columns of words, each with four. Words can be the names of people, the names of animals, any objects, any phenomena. Next, using four pairs of words (one word is taken from each column), you need to come up with associations connecting the pair. For each pair there are several associations, the more the players come up with, the better. The association options should be quite unexpected. So, for example: in one column – the word “Sundress”, in another column – “Traffic Light”, the associations are as follows:
- the sundress is as bright as a traffic light.
- a woman in a red sundress stands under a traffic light.
- the sight of a woman in an open sundress also stops men, just like the red color of a traffic light.
- the eyes of a woman in a beautiful sundress also glow like light bulbs at a traffic light.
- a woman in a sundress also directs the movement of men, just like a traffic light.
- the sundress can be seen from afar, just like the traffic light.
Five minutes are allotted to complete the task. After the allotted time has passed, the presenter summarizes the associations received (each pair separately). The most successful associations are brought up for discussion, and a wordsmith is identified - a master at inventing associations.

Fan
The players are given a piece of paper, on the left side of which the leading participants are asked to draw any simple object - a mug, spoon, pencil, etc. (let's say that we draw three objects each, although the number is not limited). On the other (right) side, three objects are also drawn, but different ones. The players' task is to connect simple objects from different sides into 3 complex figures in 3 minutes. At this stage, you can’t do without imagination. In addition to imagination, graphic skills are valued. After 3 minutes of hard work, the leaves with the newly appeared figures are launched in a circle. Players rate out of 5 point system originality of the solution - points are given on the sheets of paper. After the leaves go around the entire circle and return to the owner, the winner is determined - the total score and the surprise of the decision in creating a complex figure.

Drawing a face
All participants are given blank pieces of paper on which they draw a portrait of any player sitting opposite them. Next, the finished portraits are passed around in a circle. On the back of the portraits, all participants write the name of the person who, in their opinion, is depicted. After the piece of paper with the portrait returns to the artist who depicted it, he begins counting the correct answers (the number of players who recognized the portrait).
The best artist wins.

Scribble
Goes in circles Blank sheet, on which players alternately draw straight, non-straight lines that intersect each other. After that, the participants sketch the resulting voids between the lines in various ways: with multi-colored paints in the form of solid strokes, dots, zigzags, checkers, circles, etc. A player who has nothing more to add to the “overall” masterpiece loses.

Nonsense
Each participant is given a piece of paper. Players write down answers to questions (on the top of the piece of paper) asked by the presenter, for example: When? Who? Where? What did they say? With whom? etc. Questions can be asked completely different, the dog is not buried in them, the player who answered the question passes the piece of paper to another participant, having previously wrapped up the written answer. After everyone has the leaves in their hands, they are all handed over to the presenter, who reads the resulting stories out loud.

What does it look like?
The participants of the game take their places at the table. The presenter declares that he will now wish for some object, which, while maintaining the secret of the wished object, he will write down on a piece of paper. Players take turns voicing the objects that the presenter's wish looks like. The players, naturally, have no idea what is planned, and randomly give out versions: scissors, fork, sparrow, frying pan, ball... After all the announced versions, the presenter reveals the cards - an egg! Now the interesting game begins. You need to “protect” your version. Here, depending on your luck, the defense can be easy: “The egg, like a ball, is round in shape and rolls.” And sometimes you need to ask the presenter to connect two objects, at least indirectly: “Soon a sparrow will hatch from an egg, similar, of course, to the father sparrow.”
