Camping

Outdoor fun

If you and your guests love fresh air, and the weather is conducive to communicating with Mother Nature, feel free to take your friends and colleagues on a picnic outside the city!

Put up cozy tents (what if it does rain?), calculate the amount of meat for kebabs, barbecues for their preparation, vegetables, alcoholic and soft drinks. Be sure to decide in advance what your program will be - entertainment, sports or sports and entertainment.

In the first case, of course, light and sound technical support is necessary. In the second, there is a separate sports scenario, including team games and competitions and, accordingly, sports equipment.

Think about what sports games your guests will be able and want to play? And will they even want to? Of course, it is better to discuss these issues with them in advance. It is known that team games unite the collective spirit, provided that the team is disposed to this and enthusiastically accepts your sports ideas.

Those entertainments and pranks that you cannot always use in urban conditions can give you pleasure in nature without the danger of running into an overly zealous and aggressive pensioner who will bring you to court; The number of patrolling policemen in places where wild vacationers are located is also very limited, so nothing will interfere with the flight of your creative hooligan imagination.

So, entertainment that you can easily afford while on vacation outside the city.

Where vacationers visit quite often, already developed places are used for meeting bonfires. As a rule, seats have already been prepared there in the form of logs lying on the ground; the ground in the place where the fire was made is black and covered with old coals and fuel residues. You can easily bury a couple of firecrackers on the fireplace, previously filled with wax to protect them from moisture. When the next campers light the fire again, they will have a few frightening seconds when the firecrackers go off and scare them! Please use only certified firecrackers with low charge power! If, as a result of your playfulness, you cause serious damage to someone, then God will punish you! And the police will punish you even earlier! Don't overuse jokes!

If on a weekend evening you are forced to leave a place you like with the expectation of returning here the next day, then you can try to stake out this place using a simple trick: leave a few rags stained with paint that resembles blood in color at the resting place, hang up the scraps of rags through the surrounding bushes. Leave a piece of an old knife on the ground, which you also stain with the same paint. Leave a couple of torn condoms in place - in short, create the impression that a crime occurred at this place. It is unlikely that people with “ordinary strength” nerves will be able to feel comfortable in such a place... You will have a chance to save this place for relaxation! Cleaning the area will take no more than a couple of minutes!

Attention! Remember that by preserving nature, you are preserving your own future and the future of your children! Do not leave empty bottles, cans or plastic bags at picnic sites! What can be burned, burn it, take the rest to the nearest landfill!

If you are interested in radio electronics, then using radio equipment can give you incomparable pleasure! A simple generator with an FM modulator can help you drive away a company already located there from a vacation spot (if a VHF receiver is used at the vacation spot). Once you tune in to a radio station that your competitors are listening to, try broadcasting a message about an impending storm or typhoon in that area! If you do everything correctly and competently, then the vacationers frightened by this message will leave this place completely at your disposal quite quickly! Remember that the established permitted power of radio microphones should not exceed 10 milliwatts! Do not interfere with government services on their frequencies! Read not only the Criminal Code, but also the Administrative Code of our country!

If you have the opportunity to obtain glow-in-the-dark chemicals, such as fluorescent paints, then by painting, for example, eyes on a tree near a proposed parking lot with almost invisible paint, at night you can feel the full charm of this idea when your clients discover in the moonlight that someone's glowing eyes are watching them from the darkness, especially if you also take the trouble to make them with vertical narrow pupils! Horror films have well prepared our fellow citizens to perceive this kind of influence! As an alternative, you can use previously found pieces of glowing rotten and lay out the planned figure. This will be a completely “environmentally friendly” draw! If there is a good echo in this wonderful place at night, then using a simple megaphone, you can create such acoustic effects in the area from a great distance that it will not seem like much! “Mystical laughter” and howls coming from a great distance, enhanced by the natural reverberation of the place, can cause trembling and panic in many people at night. “Mow” under mermaids, goblin and aukalok! It's quite possible that this will work...

People almost always take their pets with them on nature trips, most often dogs, but some manage to take cats as well. If you have an ultrasonic whistle (they are sold in specialized stores), then you can influence the behavior of pets in such a way that their owners will lose their heads with anxiety and think many times whether they are staying in a “good” place to rest...

A laser spot pointed from a great distance out of the darkness at the genitals of vacationers can make a stunning impression on clients, especially if you pop a firecracker next to you the moment you spot the victim! If you run well, they won’t catch up with you, especially since you will have a big head start! And laser pointers are sold in almost all specialized stores and commercial stalls. If you, out of stupidity or sluggishness, are unable to escape in time, then your health may suffer greatly, not to mention the fact that very serious people may well (if they catch up with you) call you to administrative responsibility!

Scenario for the holiday “birthday in nature”

The scenario is designed for holding a holiday in a team of 7-20 people, lasting 6-8 hours.

For the event you will need:

Gift for the birthday boy.

Equipment for the forest.

Equipment for barbecue.

Props for competitions.

Musical accompaniment.

Event plan

1. Congratulations.

2. Search for treasure.

3. Kebabs.

4. Forest gift.

5. Games and competitions.

6. Quiz of funny questions.

7. Forest wishes.

1. CONGRATULATIONS

The birthday person should be congratulated at the very beginning - in the place where the guests gather for a picnic, so that he feels that this is his holiday. If the gathering takes place at the birthday person’s home, you can give him the most fragile gifts and greeting cards. At the same time, there should be one or more gifts that guests will take with them to the picnic and give them there in an original way.

2. SEARCH FOR TREASURE

The gift is presented at the picnic site some time after arriving at the clearing. The gift is hiding not far from the clearing. You can bury it in the ground, sand, or hide it right in the clearing in the things or car of one of the guests.

After this, a schematic map of the clearing is drawn indicating the place where the gift is hidden. It is best to draw a map on colored cardboard. The card is cut into approximately 12 pieces. All the pieces, except one, are laid out in the clearing. You don’t have to hide them; you can attach the leaves to tree trunks, to the handle of an ax lying by the fire, to the clothes of guests. One of the pieces is given to the birthday person (for a sample) with the task of collecting the entire card.

When all (or almost all) of the pieces are collected, the birthday person goes to look for a gift. A gift obtained with such difficulty (the organizers must try to make the search for a gift really difficult) will certainly bring joy not only to the birthday person, but also to all spectators of the “treasure search”.

3. BBQ

A common holiday dish at a picnic is kebabs. However, you can come up with something original (fish or meat baked in coals, turkey roasted on a spit).

4. FOREST GIFT

While cooking, the organizer of the holiday may announce a competition for the best forest gift for the birthday boy. Gifts can be: a bouquet of flowers; a handful of berries; mushroom; log (as the most needed item at the moment); cone (in memory of the holiday); tree leaf with a congratulatory inscription; a stick with a fork at the end (so that the birthday boy can make a slingshot out of it, which he has dreamed of since childhood); stick-staff (so that the birthday boy can confidently walk through life).

The winner of the competition is determined by the birthday boy.

To prevent guests from getting bored, you can play several games or organize competitions for the title of best guest.

The presenter calls three to five volunteers. Participants are encouraged to find an original way out of non-standard situations. Based on their answers, viewers choose a winner who receives the main prize. The remaining participants receive incentive prizes.

Examples of non-standard situations:

What to do if you accidentally sit on a birthday cake?

What should you do if you were bringing a porcelain vase to a friend as a gift and accidentally broke it?

What to do if your loved one and your best friend celebrate their birthday on the same day?

What to do if you remembered that it’s your birthday only 10 minutes before the guests arrive?

What to do if several guests (by an amazing coincidence) gave you the same gifts?

What should you do if the day after your birthday you wake up in an unfamiliar place?

What should you do if a wizard flew to your birthday party in a blue helicopter and gave you 500 popsicles?

What to do if you received a live crocodile for your birthday?

What to do if this crocodile accidentally ate the one who gave it to you, and now there is no one to return the crocodile?

What to do the day after your birthday?

Princess-nesmeyana

The players are divided into two teams. The members of the first team - the “non-laughing princesses” - sit on chairs and look as serious or sad as possible. The task of the players of the other team is to take turns or all together to make the “non-laughers” laugh. Every “non-laugher” who smiles joins the team of mixers. If within a certain period of time it is possible to make all the “non-laughers” laugh, the team of mixers is declared the winner; if not, the team of “non-laughers” is declared the winner. After this, the teams can switch roles. To make the “non-laughers” laugh, players can show pantomimes, tell jokes, make faces, but they are not allowed to touch the “non-laughers”.

Balloon battle

Each player has a balloon tied to their ankle. After the starting signal, all participants try to pierce other players’ balloons and protect their own. Participants whose balloon bursts are eliminated from the game. The last person remaining in the game is declared the winner. The thread of the ball should be no longer than 30 cm.

6. FUN QUESTIONS QUIZ

For entertainment, you can conduct a fun quiz. The most active participant who answers the most questions receives a prize.

Sample questions

7. FOREST WISHES

Guests, especially those who sneered at the birthday boy’s attempts to find a gift, can be invited to find wishes for themselves. It’s better to do this when it starts to get dark. Wishes must be written on small pieces of paper and hung on trees and bushes in the forest, not far from the clearing. Wishes should be humorous, you can also write humorous advice.

Examples of inscriptions

Look for a friend... and don’t get lost in the forest.

Don't eat a lot of meat. Signature: hungry guest.

Put on your hat.

Don't forget to give a gift.

Enjoy life.

Remember only the good things, like today.

And you will have a birthday... Wait for your holiday.

Walk around this tree three times clockwise and make a wish. It will definitely come true.

If the participants of the holiday have a tape recorder or a guitar, you can arrange dancing in the dark by the light of a fire. In the absence of music, invite them to listen to the rustling sounds of the night, the singing of cicadas and the sound of the wind. With a certain amount of imagination and good mood, you can even dance to this extraordinary music.

Star Fiesta

(Game program)

Presenter: Buenos tardes! Byembenida! Ke tal? That is, how do you feel? Let me introduce you. My name is Lucia. I direct the famous Spanish posca-cush frog troupe “Los sapos guapos”. Isn't it a piquant name? We are rich and very famous, si, si, we are very famous, mucho rich, we are original and unique! But that's in the past. Our troupe has become pretty worn out this winter. Some froze in the ice, some were eaten by a stork, some went on a trip with the ducks, not counting those who went to work as laboratory assistants, and some went to France to work as a delicacy worker. And here is the result - I was left alone. But talent alone, and I’m so talented, you can’t go far. A real star needs unusual costumes, bright scenery, fireworks, stars from heaven, felicita, bravo, belissimo, and much more. And therefore I announce recruitment to my troupe “Los sapos guapos”. On a competitive basis, the following are required (takes out a poster): cook, dresser, cashier, decorator, bodyguard. So, recruitment begins - after all, there are many specialists among you.

Presenter: It is very important for an artist to have a beautiful figure, but who should take care of this? My personal chef. I invite four candidates: two seniors with two assistants. Do you like to eat delicious food? Do you cook? Wear your work uniform. The gentlemen wear trousers, and the cooks wear caps. And now let's see: which of the seniors will become the most well-fed in just 30 seconds. The cooks have to feed them, that is, carry these balls of food in trousers until they are filled to the top.

(The game is going on.)

Presenter: Stop. You did great. Now let’s count which of you is the most well-fed. Yes, the cooks did a great job, we welcome the well-fed signor and his assistant. Receive prizes, chef business cards and go to your place.

Presenter: For the performance we need bright costumes, but the costume designers can do real miracles. And now four of you will do this. After all, we will soon go on tour and begin the test with the most important part of the costume - the hat. So, you have to create an outfit for your partner from the material at hand for the stage.

(The game is going on.)

Presenter: Congratulations on your successful work. Receive business cards and prizes!

Presenter: Who would like to try themselves in the role of treasurer? Feel free to come forward with two candidates for the position of treasurer. My treasurer must be very clever, resourceful, sometimes even cunning and a very good accountant. Imagine that today everyone paid for our performance with whatever they can. You must very quickly collect the fee, calculate the revenue, comment on the cost of each item. The winner will be determined by the audience.

(The game is going on.)

Presenter: So, the luckiest treasurer receives the main prize and a business card, much applause.

Presenter: Our show is a complete celebration and pleasure. And our show really needs decorators who are able to create an amazing environment out of the most ordinary things. And I invite two people who are ready to become decorators in our troupe. So, your task is to create the atmosphere of a piece of paradise in this clearing in just 5 minutes, to decorate these trees. You are ready? So, quickly get to work. Dear viewers, who completed the task faster and better?

(The winner is determined by applause.)

Congratulations to the winner.

Presenter: And our troupe also needs a bodyguard. In our time, alarming and dangerous, it is very important that the troupe is reliably protected, and the bodyguard must have a steady hand, a keen eye, and he must own any type of weapon. So, I ask the two most courageous and determined contenders to take the stage. Imagine that you are surrounded by mafia groups. Now I will give you combat helmets, put them on. And with this weapon you must hit as many criminals as possible. Yours are in green uniforms, and yours are in blue. Don't get confused. You are ready? The battle begins.

(A game is being played. Props for the game: helmets - caps with peaks-needles and criminals - balloons of two iretes suspended on a rope.)

Presenter: You did great in the test. All hail the winning bodyguard. Receive prizes, business cards, applause.

Presenter: So, the troupe has been replenished, I conclude a contract with those who received business cards, and from the business cards you will find out the terms of the employment agreement and the salary according to the staffing table. Wait for the call. Well, it seems that’s all, I’m tired, how difficult it is, I’m so tired. And now I propose to drink to the success of our troupe “Los sapos guapos”. For your happiness to be in full swing. Felicita, in short!

A trip to nature by a friendly and large team is always a positive emotion. Music, barbecue, informal communication - all this is conducive to this type of recreation and makes it especially popular. In order to make it even more interesting and memorable, it is necessary to prepare various competitions in advance, and then everyone will have the opportunity to have fun and be charged with positive emotions for all working days. Fortunately, today there are no problems with choosing entertainment: just go to the Internet and you can choose any competition from hundreds of presented ones. This article is intended to help a little, which also talks about various fun competitions and competitions for corporate events. So, let's begin!

Competitions in nature

Potato

To hold the competition, you will need two teams, each consisting of 5-7 people, several kilograms of potatoes, which can then be baked in a lighted fire, and two buckets. The potatoes are divided in half, the teams line up along a line, opposite which a bucket is placed at a distance of 5 m. The task of each team is to throw as many potatoes into their bucket as possible and make as few mistakes as possible. They throw everything one by one, without going beyond the line.

Tug of War

This fun is hundreds of years old, but it is still relevant! Two teams, a car rope with a mark in the middle - and the competition for advantage in physical strength can begin!

It must be said that very often the winner is not the team whose members have more muscle volume, but the one whose members were able to achieve greater coherence and organization of actions.

Swamp

Everyone probably remembers this game from childhood too. The clearing is a swamp, the cardboards are the hummocks laid out on it, and the two teams are tired travelers who need to cross the swamp and back as quickly as possible. The winner, of course, is the team that does it faster..

Jumping over the fire

The jumping over the fire stated above is a rather dangerous activity, so it is better to jump over Kostya. He ate, drank and fell asleep next to a pile of backpacks, and therefore let him serve the purpose of entertaining the team, which must jump over him without disturbing the vacationer’s sleep. By the way, the number of jumps should be even, because Kostya is still growing and growing. And if you don’t have Kostya in your team, look at the drinks box - there will definitely be someone there to replace you.

Loaders team

The competition is exciting and fun, and a sandy beach is chosen for its holding. Two teams, two buckets and two sieves. The team lines up in front of the bucket. The one who is farthest from him scoops up the sand with a sieve, passing it along the relay race. The time is fixed, the team whose bucket is fuller wins.

Nimble jumper

There is every reason to hold this competition outdoors: it is moving, “wet” and noisy. The participant holds a glass of water and jumps over a rope, which is rotated by assistants. The winner is the one who has at least some water left in his glass by the end of the sports session..

Rain, rain, drip-drip-drip!

Another water competition, but here almost everyone will have to get wet: the presenter sprays water around him, and team members collect it in the glasses provided. Whoever has the most water in his glass wins.

Ladies don't have a chance

Participants in the competition are given newspapers or advertising brochures. Each participant can take the most comfortable place for him, sitting or standing - at his choice. Participants are given the task: roll up the trouser leg on their right leg, while reading the given text loudly and with expression. Ideally, it would be good to read loud enough to shout over everyone else. But the funny thing is that in this case you won’t get a prize. But if the exposed calf is the hairiest, victory is yours! It's a pity, You can only do it once in one company: such a burst of laughter awaits everyone at the end.

Cossack robbers

This name even hides not a competition, but a whole adventure that requires preliminary preparation. A treasure is prepared, which can be anything: from a bag of candy to a box of beer, cards are drawn, clues are hidden, and the whole cheerful company looks for the treasure with laughter and jokes.

To introduce a competitive spirit, you can either split into two companies, where the winner will be the one who completes their mission faster, or arrange it so that one part of the team will hide the treasure, and the other will look for it.

Pyramid

To hold this competition, you need many, many apples or oranges - enough to form a neat pyramid of two of them. From the erected structures, at a distance of 15-20 meters (as space allows), both teams line up. Each participant runs to his own pyramid, grabs, no, carefully takes the fruit and runs to his own, where he needs to build exactly the same figure. The goal of the competition is to complete your task faster. If desired, you can tighten the conditions, making the destruction of the old pyramid unacceptable.

Striptease competition

The name reflects the fact that participants will have to undress during the competition, so it is better to warn everyone in advance to wear swimsuits under their clothes, so as not to put anyone in an awkward position. All participants are divided into two teams, after which they begin to undress, laying out their clothes in a line. The team whose track is longer will win. The piquancy of the situation can be added if the participants in one group are men, and in the other – women. In addition to reaction speed, intelligence is also trained, because sometimes clothes can have a complex shape, and the success of the team depends on how exactly it is laid out.

Poke the ball

This competition can be held indoors, but in the open air everything is much more intense and fun. To carry it out you need buttons, balloons according to the number of participants and an adhesive plaster. Each of the revelers receives an inflated balloon tied to the back of their waist and a pushpin glued to their forehead. Hands are tied behind your back, and the fun begins - you have to save your ball and burst the balls of your opponents.

You can play for yourself or as a team. The winner is the one who remains “alive” last.

Water-Land

This game is simple, but you can have a lot of fun while playing it. A line is drawn, the players line up along it, and the leader begins to call out: water now or dry land. When you hear the word “water,” you need to jump back from the line, when you hear the word “land,” you need to jump forward. Everything would be too simple, but instead of “water” the presenter can say “river”, “sea” or “lake”, and instead of the word “land” - “island”, “mountain” or “mainland”.

Fill your cart

If a corporate event takes place in the forest or on the edge of the forest, one of the competitions may well be a competition to see who can collect a full basket or bucket of cones the fastest. Then, with their help, you can light a fire, and make the competition a team competition for more laughter. However, you should not neglect safety measures and pre-treat your clothes with an anti-tick product..

Running in sacks

This competition requires very little - a couple of garbage or propylene bags, as well as a decent supply of enthusiasm and fun. You can choose a slightly rough track for jumping, having previously made a supply of plaster and brilliant green.

Glass of vodka

To hold this competition you will need several real strong men. The presenter's command sounds, and all participants drink what is poured into their glasses. All the glasses (except one) contain water, and only this one contains vodka.

Men should not show emotions and not show what was poured into their glass.

The guest who correctly guesses which participant gets vodka wins.. The rest of the participants can get their glass of vodka after the competition.

Roll, roll away!

The required attribute for this competition is a pair of car tires. The participants' task is to roll up their tire as far as possible with one push.. If you race cross-country, the results will be unpredictable and it will be a lot more fun.

Grandmother Hedgehog Races

For two teams - two brooms. A distance is selected, a turn sign is placed, after which each team member must “fly” to it on a broom and return back. The same broom is used as a relay baton.

Hunting with a harpoon

A stick with a nail is used as an improvised harpoon, or rather, two for each team. The fish can be foam or paper, they are laid out “in the sea” - in a clearing, and fishing begins. The players' task is to catch as many fish as possible.

Accuracy

Here, not only the most accurate player wins, but also the one with the best vestibular apparatus. The goal is marked, a stick is placed in front of it and a ball is placed. The player must not only score the ball, but do it after turning around the stick five times. The number of attempts is limited, and the one with the most successful throws wins.

Do you know why they are so popular among brides? We have lots of helpful tips for planning a Hawaiian themed birthday party. At the following address you can read about how to make your own paper Easter decorations.

Motorcycle racing

If you take children to a corporate event, then it is quite possible to arrange races on their tricycles. The spectacle of adult men and women spinning miniature pedals is extremely comical, and if it is done at speed, then it is doubly funny. The final part of the corporate event can be another event, which can be framed as a competition - this collecting packages of bottles and other rubbish. This kills several birds with one stone: a spectacular end is put at the end of the evening, the environment is in order, and next time it will be much more pleasant to come to a clean clearing. And another small portion of fun competitions held outdoors for corporate events awaits you in the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31UUjbT8ny8

All players stand in a circle, one from the other at arm's length. A circle is drawn in front of their socks. The driver and his defender are selected. They both go to the middle of the circle. The players' task is to hit the driver with the ball, but his defender prevents this.
At the signal, the players begin tossing the ball to each other. Seizing the moment, someone tries to hit the driver. The driver, escaping from the ball, runs, jumps, dodges the ball, and the defender, protecting the driver, tries to catch the ball, throws it away with his arms, legs, and whole body. If he still fails to defend and the ball hits the driver, then they both change places with the one who hit the driver and whom he chooses as his defender. The game starts again.
A hit by the ball to any part of the body other than the head is counted, even if the ball bounced off an object, the floor (ground), or a defender. But players must remember: when throwing the ball at the driver, it is prohibited to go beyond the circle; such a throw does not count.

Game "12 notes"

A variation of the children's game "Gift Hunt", but requires some preparation and time. Ideal for an outdoor picnic with a large group. Those present form several teams. Their task is to find “treasures” as quickly as possible - a box of beer or a delicious cake. The organizers must prepare 12 notes, in each one it is written where the next one is located. But the main difference is that some of the notes are hidden, and some are located in special “exchange points”. The team will receive a note in this way...

Game "People's Ball"

A Bulgarian game, but it is also played in other countries of the Balkan Peninsula and Central Europe.
Two teams of 10 to 15 people play on a volleyball court without a net. Each is located on its own half of the court, and one player is sent to the opponent’s half. The ball is put into play by throwing. If a player from one team catches it, he throws it to the other team's half, trying to hit the opposing player. The player who is hit by the ball is eliminated from the game. If he catches the ball on the fly, then the return throw tries to hit the opponent. This changes the order of throws, and the number of dropouts increases. The team that eliminates all opponents wins. The role of the player standing behind is to pick up and pass to his team the ball that has rolled out of bounds. This player can mislead the opponent. He can throw a ball thrown to him across the court to his partners for a more successful throw. However, he himself cannot beat the enemy.

Game "Balandvarak"

Tajik folk game
The game is popular among teenagers. They usually play on the hillside. Participants line up in pairs in a column. At the command of the leader, each pair takes turns jumping up the hill, tightly connecting both legs. Those who manage to cover a greater distance by jumping in this position win.
The jumpers stand at a certain distance from each other. The winners in pairs can compete with each other. The game develops physically, hardens, develops patience and endurance.

Game “Knock down the potatoes (Knock down the bulb)”

In Belarus, games-exercises for strength, dexterity, intelligence,
Ability to act in the most unusual conditions. Here is one of these game tests for teenagers and young men aged 14-18 years and older.
A round log is placed on two stumps (indoors they can be replaced by stools and chairs), located at a distance of 1.5-2 m. The player sits in the middle of the log, cross-legged, facing towards one of the stumps (stools). It is not allowed to rest your knees on the log and move on it...

Game "Hide and Seek"

This game is played in all Arab countries.
They play on a site overgrown with bushes and trees. In the middle of it, if possible, near a thick tree, turning to face it, the player of the driving team counts loudly to one hundred.
The players of the other team hide. The search begins, and if the driver finds the hidden one, he must run to the tree and touch it. The discovered player also runs to the tree, trying to touch it before the driver. If he does not have time to do this, he is eliminated from the game. If the driver is not dexterous enough, another team member takes his place. So the number of players on both teams gradually decreases. The team that manages to drive out all opponents wins.
The driver can be knocked out not only by the one who was discovered, but also by anyone hiding who manages to run to the tree faster. Only one player from the driving team participates in the game, the rest are outside the playing area and wait until their turn comes to join the game.

Game "Push and Pull"

This is what they called the running competition. But the running is unusual, in pairs. The players stand with their backs to each other and holding hands. They start from one landmark to another, located at a distance of 10 m, then return back. An indispensable condition of the game is not to tear your backs away from each other. One player runs and pulls a partner behind him, who tries to move in sync with the first. Many people fail to run within the conditions. The winner is the pair that covers the distance there and back faster than others. The running time is recorded.
The game trains dexterity, synchronization of movements, sense of rhythm and patience.

Game "Sahreoba"

A favorite and widespread game in Georgia. It develops agility and physical endurance. and also disciplines.
The game requires 10 sticks up to 1 m long of any diameter. The sticks are laid out on a flat area in parallel, at a distance of 50 cm. A flat stone is placed along a row of sticks on both sides at a distance of 50 cm from the sticks. The player must do several exercises.
1. From the first stone you need to jump on one leg to the second stone, going around the wooden sticks lying on the right...

A cheerful company got together in nature... What was the reason for the meeting?

Having taken care of a treat that will be especially appetizing outdoors, the organizer should not forget about entertainment for the guests.

Choose those that are more suitable for your guests; you can combine several different ones. A festive mood is guaranteed to you long before the meeting begins: while you plan and prepare the props, you will involuntarily begin to tune in to a cheerful mood, and at the end of the holiday, the smiling faces of your friends in the photographs will remind you of your talent as an organizer.

Of course, you need to prepare memorable prizes and souvenirs for the winners.

And now - competitions for every taste!

Various relay races

One of the most common outdoor competitions. There are even more opportunities for them in the fresh air. Relay races can easily be adapted to any “story” if the party is themed, for example, pirate, beach, etc.

You can run in turns for anything and with any tasks and obstacles. Here are some interesting options that differ from the standard types of running in bags or with a ball between the knees.

“I poured it, drank it, ate it.”

On the table for each team is a glass, a full bottle and a sliced ​​lemon. Participants are divided into teams of 3 people, the first must, having reached the table, pour a glass, the second must drink, and the third must have a bite of lemon. The glass doesn't have to contain strong drinks!

"Lastotrassa"

You need to walk the distance wearing fins, looking through binoculars turned backwards. The route will bring a lot of pleasure to the spectators!

"Eye-measurers."

For each team, a circle with a diameter of approximately 50 cm is drawn. Participants are blindfolded one by one and stand in the center of the circle. Task: take 8 steps out of the circle and return back. The team counts the steps out loud. The next participant can begin the task only if the previous one managed to return to the circle, and did not miss or stop on the border - in this case, he will have to repeat it! The team with the best eye, whose members completed the task faster than others, wins.

"Ouroboros".

For those who don't know, it's a snake biting its own tail. Participants become a “train”, holding each other by the waist or placing their hand on the shoulder of the person in front. The first participant (the head of the snake) must try to catch the “tail” - the last participant. It's more interesting to play with more people.

"Transfers"

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

Different options for what and how you can transfer:

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

Another interesting “program” with a host is the game “Delicious Bagel”. The players stand in a circle, the leader is in the middle. In the hands of the players, hidden behind their backs, there is a bagel, which they pass around in a circle, and when they seize an opportune moment, they bite off a piece of it. The presenter must guess whose hands the bagel is in, or catch the violator “in the act” - while taking a bite.

If he fails to do this before the bagel is eaten, he will be charged a forfeit! Instead of a bagel, you can take a cucumber.

Team games

Participants can be divided into groups according to different criteria: for example, captains take turns choosing team members, or boys versus girls. Here the winner will be not one person, but the whole team, so the prize for victory should be intended either 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 comic competitions, and not only sports ones, can be no less interesting!

"Wet feed"

Teams are separated from each other by a line (if there is one, you can use a volleyball or tennis net). You need to prepare balloons in advance with some water poured into them (an odd amount, preferably 5-7). The balls are thrown into the game one by one.

Players must throw them to the opponent’s side, trying to ensure that the serve becomes “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 cheerful squeal is guaranteed in the girls' team!

"Rhinoceros".

It is more effective if young men play this game against girls. The guys will be “rhinos”: a “horn” is attached to their forehead - a piece of adhesive plaster pierced with a pushpin. And girls need to tie a balloon around their waist so that it is located in the area of ​​the most piquant place.

The task is clear: the “rhinoceros” must pierce the balls; you cannot catch the girls with your hands. You can limit the location of the game and the time it lasts (for example, by playing music).

"Business Sharks"

A “poverty line” is drawn or marked on the ground with strings - two lines at a distance of approximately 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 remaining 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, lengthening the chain of “sharks”.

"Telepaths."

Each team has 5 people. On the count 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 your fingers until each team either has the same number, or each player has a different number, that is, from 1 to 5. We remind you that you cannot agree out loud! The team that manages to do this first will win.

A competition can unite a company and teach them to understand each other without words. Another variation of this game is to line up in a certain position in 10 seconds (the host counts loudly): by height, by hair color from light to dark, build a triangle, a figure eight, a circle within a circle...

"Drinking"

Each team of 3-5 people, led by a 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 melon there can be a watermelon, a large apple, or a pie.

Karaoke conductor. We need a leader and two teams. Each team chooses a song that they know well. The presenter will conduct: thumbs up - singing out loud, down - silently. The teams begin to sing at the same time, and the leader gives them signals when to sing silently and when to turn on their voice again. Sometimes this may not happen at the same time. The player who fails is eliminated. In the end, the last "singer", the most attentive, will receive the main prize.

Doubles games

Of course, the game does not necessarily involve only two people. This means that competitions are based on the interaction or opposition of two participants. But who these two will be will be revealed during the game!

"Halves."

Couples participate - a guy and a girl. They clasp 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 opposite him and try to find out who is in front of him. You don’t have to introduce any restrictions; this is already quite a difficult task.

But if the company is close, it will be fun to identify a friend or girlfriend... by smell, without touching, or just by hand. If the guess is correct, the person recognized takes the place of the driver. If after 2 versions the friend is not identified, the circle rotates again.

The leader sits on the mat in the middle of the circle, and in the circle there are boys and girls mixed together. Everyone except the presenter is wearing a hat. Each girl tells one of the guys a color in her ear, and he tells her the name of the flower. The presenter 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 must put the 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 that doesn’t work, then on the partner.

The one who is left with his hat on or without a hat at all drives. I missed it...

"Duel".

Young people are always happy to fight for the glory of beautiful ladies. The fight will take place on grass, sand or in a shallow pool. Each participant will have a long piece of fabric tucked into the back of their swimming trunks or trousers; each participant will have their own color. The rules are simple: you need to be the first to snatch the opponent’s piece, 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 girls will only have to be laughing spectators. First you need to build knocking figures from wooden blocks, boxes or empty plastic bottles and give them intriguing names. Each team must have the same number of pieces (one for each participant).

Then an empty bottle is tied on a string to the back of the participants' trouser belt. The length of the rope is about 50 cm; when hanging, the bottle should not reach the ground. Now you need to swing the bottle and knock down all the pieces without using your hands.

Water games

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

"The Shell Princess."

This game must be played on sand. All together, rake up a large sandy mountain, on top of which place 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 “shell princess” slides right into the hands of... the loser.

"Minefield".

One of the participants lies down on the sand, and around him the other players place a pebble. Condition: the pebbles should not touch the person lying down. He must get to his feet without hitting a single mine. Of course, friendly advice is welcome!

"T-shirt as a keepsake."

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

"Face painting".

You can use ordinary gouache. Guests in swimsuits are divided into pairs and have a “simultaneous body art session.” After this - a fashion show for each participant, a photo shoot and immediate swimming!

For an intelligent company. It's not just sport that makes fun

Some people prefer not reckless fun, but games that force them to show ingenuity, logical thinking, mental alertness, and also enjoy developing these qualities in joint games. Well, we have something to offer the clever and clever!

"Keyboard".

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

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

“We throw balls and words.”

Everyone stands in a circle, passing each other a ball or other object. When giving the ball, everyone says any noun word, and the taker must respond with an appropriate adjective or verb. For example, “Butterfly” – “Bright!” or “It’s flying!” When passing the ball further, you need to say a new word. It seems easy, doesn’t it?

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

"What's on the back?"

One participant draws the contours of some simple object (house, apple, fish, etc.) on the other’s back with his 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.

"Ught - encryption."

One of the participants steps aside, and the others take out a card from the envelope, on each of which is written one of the words that makes up a well-known proverb or line from a song. Then the participant finds himself in a circle, where everyone begins to repeat only their 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 a cheerful mood for spectators and participants. The only pity is that they cannot be repeated twice in the same company!

"Ropes."

Longer strings are thrown over the bush, to the ends of which boxes with prizes are tied (as it seems at first glance). The presenter announces to the audience that they need to wind their string onto 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 placed on the path - a stool, a bowl of water, and a rope is pulled. The participant is asked to go through the maze - first, for training and memorizing the route, with open eyes, then blindfolded.

Everything is quickly removed from the path, 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 clear the paint from the stick as quickly as possible. The game is especially popular after 5 drinks.

"Strong breathing."

A tennis ball is placed on the stool. Two people are called to participate. The presenter asks them to simultaneously blow on the ball from different directions. In which direction he slides, he loses - breathing must be strong.

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

Some more fun competitions for everyone

These are competitive games in which there is no need to divide 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. Anyone who couldn’t pick up an option that hasn’t been heard yet in 5 seconds is eliminated. The most affectionate one gets a prize and a kiss from the loser!

"Prize Ball"

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

“To the piggy bank!”

Each player is given a bank - a piggy bank; you can stick identification stickers on them. Several handfuls of small change are scattered on the grass, stumps, and path. Participants must collect it with their bare feet and take it to their “piggy bank” - also, of course, without using their hands. Who will be “richer”? Shows the ending of the game.

Permanent hits

Simple and well-known games, loved by many companies, allowing the holiday to always go off with a bang. Although they are not original, many conservatives prefer them to new ideas. We will just 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 parties. 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 the props. Then the presenter begins to read the text of the fairy tale, and everyone plays the role to the best of their imagination. You can come up with the texts yourself or find them on the Internet, the main thing is that the words-names of the roles in the fairy tale appear 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".

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 a pantomime in front of “his own”. You can prepare riddles in advance by writing them on cards and pulling them out at random.

You can take a forfeit for losing in any previous competition or simply take one thing from the players. Often, a spun bottle is used to determine who should complete the task. Well, the tasks themselves are available in abundance on the Internet.

You can purchase ready-made “Fantas for Adults” sets on various themes, including frivolous ones, to suit every taste!

“Mafia” is a game for all times, suitable both for 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 eating of kebab. Let it be fun and extraordinary.

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

During the holidays, you can also use active games of a sporting nature (for example, “Bag Run” and many others). Such games develop endurance and physical qualities in a person. At every party there are reckless people who can't wait to channel their energy somewhere. The games below are quite suitable for this. But they will require a lot of free space. The optimal condition for such games is fresh air.

"Sack Run"

The game involves teams with the same number of players. To play the game you will need two bags. Participants must climb into bags and jump a predetermined distance into them and back. The team that completes the task faster wins.

"Lelo"

This is a Georgian national game, the name of which is translated as “field”. The players' task is to run with the ball to the opponent's side, located on the other side of the field. Two teams take part in the game. The number of players can reach up to 15 people. At the beginning of the game, the teams stand in a circle, and then the ball is thrown up and the game begins. One of the players catches the ball and begins to move towards the opponent. The opponent can take the ball by any means except downright rude ones.

"Knockouts"

Two teams take part in the game. The playing area is divided into two halves, which belong to the teams. One of the players comes to the side of his opponent and stands behind the entire team. He has to throw balls to his team, but he can't kick them himself. The team's task is to use the ball to knock as many of their opponents off the court as possible. The team that eliminates all its opponents wins.

"Defender"

Participants form a circle and, by drawing lots, determine who will be the defender and who will be the main one. The main one and his defender stand in the middle of the formed circle. The participants begin to throw the ball to each other and try to knock out the main one. The defender’s task is to protect the main player from getting hit by the ball. If this happens, the participant takes the place of the main one and can choose his own defense or leave the previous defender. And the game continues.

"Envelopes"

For this game, you need to choose a leader who will monitor the correct completion of tasks. Players are divided into several teams. Each team is given five envelopes in which tasks are written. For example: 1st task - sit down 50 times; 2nd task - recite a poem about birds, etc. In addition, the teams need to find the remaining five envelopes. To do this, you need to complete the tasks correctly. The team that completes all tasks before others is the winner. The winner will receive a prize in the form of a cake.

"Let's jump!"

Teams take part in the game. Each participant needs to jump on one leg to the pole and back. Whoever completes the task faster wins. To make the task more difficult, you can arrange it next to a small slide. Then the participants will need to jump uphill and downhill.

“Break through the wall!”

The game is played in winter, when there is a lot of snow outside. A wall that is small in height and thickness is erected from snow. Participants will also need a stick approximately 0.5 m long. Each participant must throw their stick so that it breaks right through the snowdrift.

"Tennis Balls and Tray"

The leader forms two teams, each consisting of three participants, and everyone is given one tennis ball. The first players (starters) are also given a tray. On command, the first players place the ball on the tray and quickly walk to the flag and back. Pass the tray to the next participant. He covers the same distance, but with two balls, therefore, the third player with three. The team that completed this task faster wins.

"Equilibrium"

To play the game you will need two chairs placed at some distance from each other. A large round stick is placed on them, capable of supporting the weight of a person. On different sides of the chairs, apples are laid out on low stands in the shape of a triangle. The participant sits in the middle of the stick and holds another stick in his hands to maintain balance. The participant's task is to knock the apples off the stands. If a participant loses his balance, he can put a stick on the floor and support him. The participant who knocks down all the apples and stays on the stick wins. If a participant knocks down all the apples but fails to hold on, the result is not counted.

"Hide and Seek"

The participant who will drive is selected by drawing lots. They close his eyes, put him facing the wall (playing place), and he begins to count to 50. The remaining participants hide at this moment. After the driver has opened his eyes, the participants do not have to wait until they are found. Everyone’s task is to reach the playing place faster than the driver. Whoever fails to do this will be the driver in the next game.

"Lids"

This game develops dexterity and the ability to calculate a strike. Before starting the game, you need to draw a circle and insert a stick into its middle. A plastic cover is placed on the stick. Players stand at a distance of 1.5 m from the stick and try to knock down the one on the stick with another lid. But you need to knock it down so that it falls outside the drawn circle. Whoever succeeds scores 5 points. The one who scored the most points wins.

"Ring"

The game develops the eye and dexterity of the game participants. To play you will need sticks 0.5 m long and rings. If the game is played outdoors, then the sticks are dug into the ground, if indoors, then they are secured in the cross. Participants are divided into teams. The task of each team is to put as many rings on a stick as possible. At the first stage, the distance between the thrower and the stick is 1 m, at the second stage - 2 m, at the third - 3 m. At the end of three stages, the winning team is revealed.

"Stilts"

Two teams take part in the game. On the playing field, at a certain distance from each other, multi-colored rings are laid out. Players must stand on stilts and walk across the playing field, hitting as many colored rings as possible.

"Two Legs"

Couples participate in the game. Each participant in a pair is tied with one leg and given the task to jump to the flag and come back. Couples jump holding hands. The couple that reaches the finish line first is considered the winner.

"Pillow Fights"

Participants sit on a log and try to knock down their opponent with a pillow blow. Whoever falls is out of the fight.

"Cock-fights"

To play, draw a circle with a diameter of 2 m. Two participants stand in the middle of the circle and, leaning on one leg, take the other by the heel with their hand. In this position, they try to push their opponent out of the circle. Using your hands is prohibited.

"Vice versa"

Participants stand in a line and repeat all the movements of the driver who is standing in front of them, exactly the opposite. The participant who makes a mistake changes places with the driver.

"Pushers"

In the game, one circle with a diameter of approximately 1.5 m is drawn on the floor, and inside it is a smaller circle. Participants stand around a large circle, hold hands and try to push their neighbor into the restricted area. The forbidden zone is the space between the large and small circles. Participants can step into the small circle. Anyone who does step into the restricted area is eliminated from the game.

“Pass and not touch”

Players are divided into several teams. Each team has flags in front of them; participants must pass them with their eyes closed and not knock them down. When the first participants from each team begin to walk, the teams must tell them which direction to go. When teams simultaneously begin to give hints to their players, none of them can understand where to move.

"Fold the Sun"

The game is team-based. First, a circle is drawn at a certain distance from each team. Each team player receives a baton. And then, one by one, on two legs, you need to jump to the drawn circle and place your stick so that the team ends up making the sun. The winner of the game is the team that completed the task before the rest.

"Shapes"

The game is played in teams. Team members hold hands with their eyes closed. The presenter asks the teams to depict various figures, for example a circle, square, etc. The team that depicts the figure incorrectly is eliminated from the game.

“Drag!”

Guys take part in the game. They are tied with a rope, but at a distance, and a prize is placed in front of each. Each young man must reach for the prize and thereby win over his opponent to his side. The participant who takes the prize first wins.

You can also arrange a tug of war. Participants are divided into teams and stand on both sides of the rope. On command, they take the rope in their hands and try to pull their opponents over the line drawn in advance. The strongest team wins.

You can pull without a rope. To do this, all team members line up and take each other by the waist. The first participants of such a “locomotive” from different teams join hands. On command, participants pull opponents to their side.

"Game of Rings"

The game is played outdoors. At a distance from the participants, a stick is placed between the trees, and rings are attached to it. The participants put on stilts, reach the trees and try to collect the rings, while their opponents try to stop them. The one who collects the most rings becomes the winner.
