Summer is a time of non-stop fun. The main advantage of this time of year: in order to have fun, you just need to go outside. We all have a yard or a dacha, but we don’t need more. Here you can also have a great time and arrange a real holiday for your and your neighbors’ children. You just need to have a pair of relatively straight hands and a reserve of enthusiasm.
Cool, right? You yourself determine the size of the playing field and the size of the colored circles depending on the age of the participants. To make it more comfortable for children, the circles can be made smaller. Preparing this is all very simple: the easiest way to draw on asphalt is with colored chalk (in order not to get your hands dirty, just outline the contours of the circles and do not paint them completely). If you're willing to risk your lawn, there are paints available for sale. water based that will be washed away by the rain. It will help to draw circles of the same size cardboard box, in the bottom of which a corresponding hole is cut.
A step-by-step master class, understandable without translation, will help you prepare everything you need in no time. The rules are simple: players take turns pulling out sticks, trying to do it so that all the balls remain in place. The winner is the one who ends up with the fewest dropped balls. You will find inventory at home or in hardware store, fortunately, all this is cheap. You can take bamboo sticks; they are also often used as a support for flowers.
Here everything is also clear: we take turns removing the blocks, and whose tower collapses is the loser. Actually, only the blocks are needed for the game. Approximate length - 25 cm, total quantity - 48 pieces. At a hardware store, you buy fairly thick boards, saw them and sand them, and then there are options: you can leave them in their original form, or you can paint them (only the ends, the whole board, or even paint them with patterns).
The game requires a steady hand and remarkable accuracy, and all you need to prepare it is a piece of tarpaulin and colored tape. Cut holes in the tarpaulin different shapes and sizes (the smaller, the more interesting), cover their edges with colored tape and assign each hole its own value in points. The winner is the one who scores the maximum number of points in 10 throws.
Funkenschlag/Depositphotos.com Make a ring rack yourself or just use what you have around, even tree branches. Remember: the further the player is from the goal, the more interesting it is.
For this game you will need noodles - sticks for swimming and water aerobics. They are sold in sporting goods stores. You buy such a stick and carefully cut it lengthwise. There is no need to completely separate the halves from each other; it is enough for them to open like a book. Then cut longitudinal grooves on each half even more carefully. Mark the start and finish lines with flags - the track is ready! Both toy cars of the appropriate size and just glass balls can ride on it.
tobkatrina/Depositphotos.com Unfortunately, today's children spend little time fresh air, but this game will fix it. We are making a list of treasures that players will need to collect. Cones, different types flowers, leaves, twigs unusual shape, something round, triangular or square, objects red, green or yellow color. We print out these lists and stick them on paper bags, and hand the bags over to the rangers. The first one to collect all the items from the list wins.
Using a drill and screws, attach a couple of buckets different sizes to a long board, and place it vertically (you can simply lean it against the wall). For hitting the ball in each of the buckets, a certain number of points are awarded. The smaller the bucket, the more points.
pavsie/Depositphotos.com This is where you can let your imagination run wild! To create a full-fledged obstacle course, you can use everything that comes to hand: old tires, ladders, ropes, buckets... The children have fun, and you relax while you wait for them at the finish line with a stopwatch.
An excellent game for both children and adults. Required: 10 plastic bottles, paint and tennis ball. Paint the bottles and the ball (so that everything looks just like the real thing), let them dry thoroughly. Then fill the bottles with water - the skittles are ready.
Here you will need noodles again. With their help, children should throw as much as possible balloons in a plastic basket. Simple, but quite fun.
Damocless/Depositphotos.com Unlike the usual paper version, street version provides much greater freedom in choosing equipment. You can take large pebbles or wooden blocks and paint them, or you can make do with any available items.
And again noodles. The main advantage of these things is that you can do whatever you want with them. Whether you bend it or roll it into a ring, they will withstand any handling. For the construction of improvised sports facilities better material can not found.
Improved version of the game. We throw the balls into tin cans, which are attached to a branch with a chain. The rules are the same: for hitting each jar you are given a certain number of points, whoever scores more is a great guy. The cans sway, so it's not so easy to hit the target.
DesignPicsInc/Depositphotos.com The usual game becomes much more interesting if the participants stand not on the ground, but on overturned milk crates or tree stumps. Here you need to show not only strength, but also a fair amount of dexterity.
In hot weather this will cause children sheer delight. Freeze water with toys and all sorts of small items in a large container. This must be done in layers so that the treasures do not sink to the bottom. Give the kids a hammer and a screwdriver - they'll have something to do in the next half hour.
stevebonk/Depositphotos.com The name speaks for itself. Inflate the balloons and attach them to the board with tape or a stapler. There is a lot of noise, but even more fun.
The rules are the same as in traditional board games, only instead of toy figures there are people, and there is a larger cube. By the way, it can be made from regular box, pasted over with colored paper. Draw with chalk the path you need to take and put all the necessary marks: one step back, two steps forward, return to the start.
Even more difficult, even more interesting. Buckets and cans are replaced by a stepladder. The rest of the conditions are the same: each step is assigned a value in points, you need to score as many as possible. A ball won't fit here, so sew a small bag and fill it with beans, rice or buckwheat. Even an old sock will do to save time.
bluesnote/Depositphotos.com If it gets dark, this is not a reason to go home. Neon sticks, available in holiday aisles, will help extend the fun. Attach them to the edges of buckets or cans, so you and your children can play even late in the evening.

"FORGED CHAINS"
All picnic participants, free from barbecuing, excuse the involuntary rhyme, stand in a line and begin to walk slowly across the clearing, heads down and peering into the grass. The presenter rushes on his knees in front of the walking chain and says: “It’s a gold chain, my husband gave it to me, he’ll find out and kill me! Oh, I’m a damned fool!”

"CHESS FOOL"
One of the players is shuffling the chess. There are usually thirty-two pieces, so four bolts or screws are added to play the chess fool. Players hold pieces in their fists, but do not show each other. And they play the fool not with cards, but with chess, like cultured, intelligent people. The one who has all the pieces in his hands loses.
"FIGHT IN PURE"
This is a decorous and cultural entertainment, in contrast to wrestling in the mud, in a fire, in a barbecue or in a sleigh. Decent women fight dressed, on a clean blanket, and the audience encourages them with applause and exclamations, “Come on, Svetlana Nikolaevna, take over Antonina Sergevna!”, “Come on, Antonina Sergevna, break Svetlana Nikolaevna’s jaws!” etc.
"MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS"
The game begins when daughters of different ages and their mothers go out into nature. Without men. The presenter begins the game with the words “Girls! Yesterday I saw new boots made of salamander...” Everyone begins to interrupt her with all sorts of the same nonsense. And at the same time they still have to laugh shrilly and drunkenly. God forbid a person ends up there.
"THIS IS EXTRA"
This game requires several skewers, and exactly one less than the number of participants.
The players walk around the barbecue and pretend that they are playing completely different games. But at the command “The kebabs are ready!” everyone rushes to the grill. The one who doesn't get a skewer with kebab loses.
"HOT-COLD"
While the kebab is being fried, one player (the host) hides a net with bottles of vodka in the river. The rest of the players wait at first, and then they can’t stand it and begin to show where she might be. And the presenter says: “Hot!”, “Warm!” or "Colder!" (depending on how much time has passed). When the kebab is ready and the vodka has cooled, this monster says: “It’s cold!” and takes out the hidden net.
"GIANT STEPS"
Participants in the game gather at the starting line and drink 30-100 grams of vodka. Then the bottle is moved back 40-80 cm. Participants must take a step and drink 60-120 grams again. The bottle is moved 80-160 cm. Again everyone walks and drinks. The winner is the one who can take the biggest step and then stand up.
"BIG BADMINTENIS" ("BADMINBALL")
To play you will need badminton rackets and a soccer ball. The rules are like in tennis, but instead of a net there is a person. He also serves as a judge in this exciting but difficult game.
Game with a girl "ON SPILL"
A pair of players sit opposite each other, pour and drink. Then more. If a girl misses, she takes off some part of her toilet. If he doesn’t miss it, then at the end of the game he allows you to remove them all.
"KING OF THE FAMILY"
While the men are grilling shish kebab, the women should play “Peeling Potatoes,” “Cutting Salads,” and “Finally Keep the Children Doing Something!” In the morning, as if they had done nothing to prepare the shish kebab, they must collect all the dishes, men lying around everywhere and other rubbish.
"GUITAR RESCUE"
The players try to play the guitar all evening, and the presenter, who is also the owner of the guitar, tries at the last moment to pull the guitar out from under the players and play it. The winner is the one who manages to play the guitar. The presenter loses.
"JUMPING OVER VALERA*"
As you know, jumping over a fire is very dangerous for health and clothing. But jumping over Valera is a much more enjoyable and safe entertainment. For this game, take Valera, who is fast asleep, who will probably be found near the backpack with drinks, and cheerfully jumps over it.

What the game should be like depends directly on the company gathered. So, at a corporate party with colleagues, moderately immodest but funny games will be enough. A group of well-known friends can play more explicit games. An excellent solution would be intellectual entertainment for an older group. And the male team will be entertained by a board card game.
When all the guests have already eaten, but still don’t want to leave, and there is no room for dancing and outdoor games, you can offer the guests interesting table competitions.
Board games are popular not only among children. Adults also enjoy playing with them. There are companies that get together once a week to play a board game. The most popular board games today are:
Playing cards is fun, but sometimes the “overused” fool gets boring. We offer interesting card games, which will diversify the gatherings of card game lovers.

When the company is already tipsy, it's time for fun games and competitions. People are becoming more liberated and are not trying to get into their pockets. For drunk company The following games can be suggested.
IN big company you can play football and Board games, and in cards. We also suggest you try the following games.
Everyone wants to take part in competitions, but usually a few people are chosen from the crowd. We offer you team competitions so that no one gets bored while visiting.
Birthday, calendar holiday, a promotion, or just a warm and sunny weekend - all this can be a reason to get out into nature with a large and friendly company. But what to do in nature when your hunger is satisfied and everything interesting topics discussed so as not to get bored? To do this, there are many different competitions in nature for fun company. They are the ones who will help fill the resulting free time. In addition, well-chosen competitions will undoubtedly be a highlight holiday and will be remembered for a long time, leaving behind only positive emotions and impressions.
“Well-chosen” competitions mean that they will be appropriate to the age of the participants, as well as their relaxedness, degree of familiarity and the prevailing atmosphere. After all, competitions can also be different: intellectual and fun, neutral or balancing somewhere on the verge of “below the belt,” as well as those that require significant physical activity etc. In general, the main thing is that everyone likes it and finds it interesting. Now we will offer you several options.
"Whale"
An unlimited number of people can take part in this competition - the more there are, the more fun it will be. Everyone needs to stand in a circle at arm's length from their neighbors and hold hands (it will turn out to be a kind of round dance). The presenter whispers the name of two animals into the ear of each participant and explains the rules of the game: when the presenter shouts out the name of the animal, the participant to whom the name of this animal was announced in his ear must quickly sit down, and the neighbors to the right and left at this time should try to prevent him from doing this .
Everything is done very quickly so that the participants do not have time to catch their breath. The trick of the game is that when naming animals to the players, the presenter shows only 50 percent ingenuity - in the first word, but in the second word he names a whale to everyone. So, for example, pairs of words such as hare - whale, bear - whale, mouse - whale, cat - whale, dog - whale, rabbit - whale, etc. can be whispered to the participants. A few minutes later, when everyone has already joined, the presenter suddenly calls the word “WHALE”, and as a result, the participants, who are trying to all sit down at once, inevitably end up on the floor, laughing at their own zeal. This competition is suitable for a company of any size and goes off with a bang.
"Diver"
Going to nature in warm time year, some comrades may well have fins and a pair of binoculars in their arsenal. If this is the case, you can offer a competition for the title of best diver.
Volunteers are asked to pull on their fins and complete the task of covering a specified distance while looking through binoculars with reverse side. Believe me, an unforgettable experience is guaranteed not only to the participants, but also to all spectators.
"Football"
Football is a very exciting game, not only for guys, but also for girls, especially if you change the rules a little.
First you need to divide the participants into two teams and mark the gates, and then the events will be somewhat unusual. The players of each team are divided into pairs, and each of the pairs stands shoulder to shoulder with each other, and the right leg of one member of the pair is tied to the left leg of the other. The team's goal is the same as in regular football - to score the ball into the opponents' goal, but goalkeepers are no longer needed here, because scoring the ball will not be easy or even almost impossible. Thus, the wallowing of all participants on the ground and a lot of positive emotions are guaranteed.
"Knight Tournament"
Such a tournament in miniature is an example active competition for a cheerful and energetic company, in which, in addition to ladies, there are also several gentlemen. It will require an even number of men (minimum four). Participants are divided into two groups – cold and warm. The first is for those who like the cold that knightly armor and bladed weapons exude, and the second is for those who value the warmth of a loyal horse more dearly.
Dividing into groups, the knights do not yet imagine what surprise awaits them. Those who chose the warmth of horses will have to pretend to be horses, and those who chose the cold will have to become riders.
And then the queen of the tournament drops her handkerchief from her raised hand, and the tournament begins. The rider's job is to push his opponent off his horse. The one who fell to the ground lost, but the winner and his horse will receive a reward from the hands of the Beautiful Lady (a glass of wine, the first pieces of kebab, cake, etc.).
"Swamp"
This competition does not require any special preparations or equipment, just a few pieces of cardboard. First you need to designate a certain area on the ground (not very large). Boundaries can be marked with pebbles, dry branches or bottles. This will be a swamp, which participants will have to cross as quickly as possible, stepping from hummock to hummock. The hummocks will be two pieces of cardboard in the hands of each player, which he will place in front of him and thus move, stepping on them, while trying not to fall into the “swamp”.
"Tell someone else"
The company should be divided into women's and men's teams, which should be located in two lines opposite each other at a distance of about three meters.
The first member of the women's team clamps balloon between his legs, carries it to the line of the men's team and passes it to the first participant without using his hands. He, in turn, also carries the ball back and passes it to the second member of the women’s team. This continues until all players have participated.
“Hit the balls!”
One team receives red balls, and the second - blue. The balls are tied with threads to the legs, one per participant. On command, you need to burst as many enemy balloons as possible without using your hands. The team that keeps at least one ball intact will win.
"Bullseye"
Two people take part in the game. A rope is tied to each person's waist, and an apple is tied to its end so that it dangles at approximately knee level. A glass is placed on the ground, into which the participant must hit the apple on command. The participant who does it faster wins.
"Mummy"
All participants are divided into pairs, preferably a boy and a girl. Each couple is given 2 rolls toilet paper. Team members begin to wrap this paper around their partners, leaving only the nose, mouth and eyes open. The couple that manages to do this the fastest and with the best quality will win.
"Volleyball with legs"
In this game, participants are divided into two teams. In the middle of the clearing, a rope is pulled at a level of a meter from the ground. The rules of the game are exactly the same as in volleyball, the only difference is that the participants play while sitting on the ground, and instead of a ball they take a balloon.
"Take away what's ready"
On the table you need to place glasses with an alcoholic drink that the participants like, and there should be one less glass than the participants. Participants, at the command of the leader, walk around the table, and at the next signal (clapping their hands, for example), they, ahead of their opponents, rush to the glasses and drink their contents. The participant who does not get a glass is eliminated. Then the extra glass is removed, the rest are filled with drink, and the competition continues again until one most successful participant remains.
“Let’s fill the glasses!”
Participants need to split into pairs - boy and girl. The man is given a bottle of drink (preferably it is a drink that will be easy to wash later), and the girl is given a glass. The man needs to hold the bottle with his feet, and the partner needs to hold the glass with her feet. Then the man needs to fill the glass without using his hands, and the girl needs to help him with this as much as possible. The winner will be the couple that completes the task most accurately and quickly, without spilling a single drop. To continue the competition, you need to drink a drink from glasses at speed.
"Tug of War"
Competitions for company in nature can also be diversified with sports competitions. For this game you will need a thick and long rope, in the center of which a mark will be placed. Then, on the ground at an equal distance from the mark, you need to draw lines on both sides. All participants need to be divided into two groups, which, at a signal, begin to pull the rope, each on their side, trying to pull it over themselves. The winner will be the team that pulls the marker over its line.
"Quest"
You will need to prepare for such a game in advance, but the result will exceed all your expectations. You need to come up with several prizes and place them around the territory where the company will relax. To make it easier to find treasures, you need to hide notes with clues in a chain, and in completely unexpected places.
"Hot Cubes"
For this competition you will need two sets of multi-colored cubes, as well as long branches according to the number of participants. First you will need to draw a large circle and place the cubes in it. All players are divided into two groups, the task of each of which will be to push all the opponent’s cubes outside the circle, while preventing him from pushing his own. The team that can get rid of other people's cubes the fastest will win.
As you can see, competitions can be very diverse. It’s important to just think ahead cultural program so as not to come up with entertainment at the last moment. And then any fun will bring a lot of pleasure to all participants, making them look forward to the next opportunity to gather in the same place and with the same composition. Enjoy your fun and relaxation in nature!
A cheerful company got together in nature... What was the reason for the meeting? A birthday, anniversary, alumni meeting, corporate holiday party or just a friendly picnic with friends - in any case, this event should not be boring and ordinary. Having taken care of a treat that will be especially appetizing outdoors, the organizer should not forget about entertainment for the guests.
There are different companies: both reckless youth and respectable colleagues, but any group will not refuse to have fun by participating in competitions or at least watching them. The main thing is to choose and organize these competitions correctly!
We bring to your attention large selection a variety of games and entertainment for adults to enjoy outdoors. Among them there are active ones, calmer ones, those that require brain work, as well as harmless prank competitions. 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 are planning and preparing 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!
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 a few interesting options, different from the standard type 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 big amount of people.
This is a type of relay race in which you need to pass one object to another in different in 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:
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.
Participants can be divided into groups according to different signs: 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 it around their waist balloon 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 different number each player, 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.
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 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 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.
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!
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 (thinking up 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.
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 memorization of the route, with 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 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 with different sides. 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!
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 telling your neighbor sweet Nothing. Anyone who could not select an option that has not yet been heard 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.
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 game program for open air 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!
