A game for a corporate party: what where when. Corporate games and competitions

Holding competitions and games is, without a doubt, the central link of the holiday. To stretch your legs, show ingenuity and dexterity, have fun yourself and please others, this is exactly what all the festive events are for. We offer fun competitions for New Year's corporate parties, to some extent they overlap with the New Year's theme, but still are not highly specialized, they are rather universal.

Dumpling maker

Leading:

Friends! Shouldn't we do some cooking? No, no, dear ladies and housewives, don’t rush to throw tomatoes and cutlets at me, that’s not what I meant at all! I am delighted with your culinary talents in general and today’s table in particular! You are inimitable and delightful, and not a single most famous chef of the most famous restaurant could cook better than you did for us! I just want to present some elements of culinary art in the form of a game! Let's try some cooking! Today we will cook dumplings. By the way, dear hostesses! As the main experts in food preparation, I want to ask you: are dumplings a simple or complex dish? Ah, that's it! Store-bought dumplings are easy to prepare, but making them yourself is a difficult task, it’s an art! Thank you. So, today we will not look for easy ways. We are starting a competition called Pelmennitsa!

Since real dumplings are not easy to make, the contestants will do this in pairs. Participants will distribute responsibilities among themselves. One of them will make dumplings (lepilytsik), and the other will throw the finished dumplings into the dish (kidalytsik). And this is also not an easy matter, as we will see. Let's cast lots to determine the order of the pairs' competition. Okay, first two couples, get ready!

What is needed for the competition:

• Caramel in blue and red candy wrappers.
• Paper for notes.
• Stool.
• Pot.
• Matchboxes and tablespoons for catapults.

Lepilytsiki are given a handful of caramel - one in blue candy wrappers, the other in red. The number of caramels in both handfuls is the same. They, the lepilyts, are also given a stack of ordinary paper for notes. Caramel is “minced meat”, paper is “dough”. The lepilytsik must wrap the “minced meat” in the “dough” and pass the finished “dumplings” to the kidalytsik.

Each thrower from a stool, using a catapult, must throw the finished products into a pan standing a meter away from him. A catapult is made from an ordinary matchbox and a tablespoon lying across it.

The pan is common to both teams. As soon as one of the competing pairs exhausts the supply of “minced meat” (caramel), the competition stops.

The number of accurate hits for each team is counted and the winner is determined. As a reward, he receives a kilogram of real, most delicious dumplings, which he invites everyone to taste the next day.

By the way, there may be more teams competing in this competition if the required amount of caramel of other colors is found - green, yellow, etc.

Engagement

Leading:

People meet, people fall in love,
They get married.
I'm so unlucky in this that it's just
Trouble...

Now, this was a man's song. Now can I have a women's one? Just a couple of phrases and that’s it, I won’t torment you anymore:

And I have enough gentlemen,
But I don’t have good love...

What do you think? Is it better not to go to the Star Factory? Yes, to be honest, I didn’t even hope. Just pay attention to what the songs are about: someone loves or wants to love, but it doesn’t work out. For a song, the theme is good, it touches the soul, but for a person, to put it mildly, it’s not very good. And all because of what? Due to the inability to make an oncoming movement in time. I would like to hope that this does not threaten you and me, but just in case, we will still practice during the game called Engagement!

What you need to play:

• Ring with a diameter of 10cm.
• One and a half liter bottle.
• Rope.

What is betrothal? Right. Betrothal is putting a ring on the finger of the chosen one - the chosen one. Since people do this seriously at other times, let’s take up engagement lightly. We will select participants - boys and girls, they should be divided into pairs.

You need to tie a string to the ring, which is attached to the girl’s belt so that the ring does not reach 10-15 centimeters to the floor.

And the finger will also be rather big. To put it bluntly, the bottle itself will be the “finger” on which you need to put the ring. The bottle is placed between the young man’s knees. The boy and girl stand facing each other at a distance of half a meter. They are faced with the task of getting engaged, that is, putting the ring on the “finger” as many times as possible in one minute.

The engagement can be organized differently: place another couple of the engaged couple next to each other. The organizers of the competition assign prizes to the winners at their discretion; a hint will be a list of lottery prizes and a list of traditional gifts with non-traditional accompanying text.

Pirates of the 20th century

Leading:

Can you name the first domestic action movie? That's right - "Pirates of the 20th Century." Many of us probably still remember the excitement that once reigned around the film: rumors, queues, enthusiastic stories of the lucky ones and hundreds of thousands of boys shouting “kya-ya!” they broke their hands on boards and bricks. Now you won’t surprise us with such plots and tricks, but let’s shake off the old days. I invite you to the game Pirates of the 20th Century!

What is needed for the competition:

• Two ropes.
• Ball.
• Kimonos and karate belts (which ones will be available).

We won’t shoot, and there’s shooting on TV almost every minute. Let's add variety. Today, each man's weapon will be his own body.

Let each of the game participants try on a kimono and a karate belt. You have to hit the target exactly. Taking into account the general relaxed and blissful festive state, the goal will be soft and safe for the hands and feet of the “karateka” - an ordinary inflatable ball, like children play on the beaches. But for you, warriors, this is a scoundrel who must be defeated!

Two assistants must horizontally hold a taut rope, to the center of which the ball is tied with the help of another small rope. First you need to strike the “enemy” in the head. To do this, the assistants must raise both the rope and the ball to the appropriate height.

Stage 1

Those who want to demonstrate their “martial art” must first look carefully at the target from 3 meters and remember its location, after which they are blindfolded. They then move towards the enemy and strike. One approach - one blow. You cannot feel the space in front of you and look for a goal. He approached and hit. Got it - well done! Let's take it sailing. If you didn't hit, you'll have better luck next time. It's a game.

Stage 2

After checking the strength and accuracy of your hands, you need to try your legs. Otherwise, what kind of karate is this? The assistants must lower the target to a height of 1 m from the floor - and a new series of approaches and strikes.

The luckiest one will receive a “black belt in large daisies”, established by the ladies present, and the honorable right to open bottles with the edge of the palm.

Golf

Leading:

It just so happened historically that the desire to imitate is strong among our people. Especially everything abroad. Well, what can you do? Even the greats were guilty of this. Peter the Great, for example. And he made an army in a foreign style, and dresses, and all sorts of other things. And there was a fashion for German, and French, and simply overseas. And so it still continues. Are you smiling? Please. What is considered the best repair? That's the same, “euro”! What about entertainment?! Now many of our people are learning to play their baseball, and not them learning to play our rounders, although there is no fundamental difference in the games. Well, what can you do, as it is, so it is. Bye. And, according to fashion, we will also call our next entertainment in a foreign manner. So, let's play Golf!

What you need to play:

• Potato.
• Strings.
• Children's bucket without handle.
• Two leather belts.

The name is similar to English golf. And in essence it’s a little similar: we will also try to get the object into the hole. Only this will not happen on a green lawn, but right here, in this room. And the “ball” will be limited in its mobility, because we will tie it with a rope to the belt of one of the players. The ball is a potato.

The “hole,” on the contrary, will not be fixed, as in classic golf. The “hole” in our case is a small children’s bucket without a handle, which will also be suspended from the belt of the player, this time a woman. It is attached to the belt by threading strings through the holes of the bucket (you need to prepare two trouser belts in advance).

Players, standing at a distance of 50 cm from each other, without touching the rope with their hands and without lowering the “shells” to the floor, must hit the “ball” into the “hole” as many times as possible within a certain time, for example, in 1 minute. They compete in pairs.

Cat Basilio

Leading:

Dear friends, allow me to conduct a short test not so much on knowledge, but on reaction speed. The question is quite simple: list the five senses that nature has endowed humans with. I knew you could handle this easily. So, vision, hearing and smell. We use them when we determine something at a distance. And taste and touch help us with direct contact with an object.

Probably, it would be good to learn to use the last two from a distance: they are just bringing us the salad, and we are already saying: “Oh, that’s not necessary, you have bitter cucumbers there!” Or in the kitchen, determine the temperature of the water in the kettle without touching it with your hands. Dreams, dreams... But do we need to change them? No, as far as taste is concerned, let it remain as it is, otherwise all the charm of tasting good wines and exotic dishes will disappear. But let’s try to develop the sense of touch a little, as one famous literary hero tried to do. I offer you a game called Basilio the Cat!

What you need to play:

• Cane.
• Bandage.
• Stool.

As you know, despite the “Blind” sign, the cat did not suffer from lack of vision and only felt objects with a stick for the sake of appearance. So you try to determine what is in front of you. Take a cane and lean on it. A blindfold is put on the eyes.

Objects that are at hand are placed on a stool, and those who want to participate in the game try to understand what is in front of them. For the correct answer there is a prize (for some a full glass, and for others the title of “chief seer”). If the answer is incorrect, the player gets a forfeit.

Table Roulette

Leading:

Gentlemen! I hope you know what roulette is? Let me remind you, firstly, a tape measure is a measuring tape enclosed in a case. Secondly, it is one of the most popular gambling games all over the world. True, there are several types of “national” roulettes. Of these, the most famous is the Russian one, when they use a revolver with one cartridge in the cylinder. Everyone takes turns cocking the gun and putting the barrel to their temple. There is an American race of ten cars on a mountain road, but only nine have good brakes. There is a French one - spend the night with five girls, but only four do not have AIDS. I also suggest you play roulette. She has no nationality. It doesn't even have an established name. So let it be just Table Roulette!

What you need to play:

• Table.
• Card deck.

Two cards from the deck are put aside, and the rest are scattered on the table to form a small mound, that is, a pile of cards in which they lie quite freely, but not a single card is completely separate from the others.

After this, the set aside cards are placed in a house on top of the mound. All players must take turns pulling out one card from it. This must be done carefully, trying not to damage the house on the top. If it does fall, the player whose actions caused it performs the task of the other players, or takes off one item of clothing, or is punished in some other way.

For example:

• puts 10 rubles “on the barrel”. The winner will receive the entire amount collected at the end of the game.
• runs for beer, vodka, etc.,
• drinks a glass of vodka,
• washes a dirty plate
• sings a song, etc.

The loser can be punished more severely - excluded from the game, or a "survivability" limit can be introduced. Let's say, punish up to three times and only then take him out of the game. So choose your punishment, determine the limit of “survivability”, and go ahead!

Rhino in love

Leading:

My friends! When was the last time you fell in love? However, the couples present may not answer the question. Even if they fell in love with someone not so long ago, they will still say that love visited them when they met their half. Maybe “unpaired” guests will be more frank?

I ask this question, trying to find the most “freshly in love”, so that with its help we can remember as accurately as possible what happens to us at the moment of “the heart being struck by cupid’s arrow.” So, the signs of falling in love are approximately the following: sleep disturbance, rapid heartbeat, general absent-mindedness, periodically replaced by attacks of uncontrollable work enthusiasm...

Is that all or is there something else? That's it! I deliberately did not name it myself, waiting for you to say it: bursts of creative talent and inspiration, including among those to whom the Creator clearly lacked talent.

Yes, everyone starts writing music, poetry and paintings. Almost without exception, everyone is human. What are the animals like? I wonder if, when falling in love, they are capable of creative impulses? Let's do our research. Let's play Rhino in Love!

What you need to play:

• Canvases.
• Markers.
• Two hats with earflaps.

Imagine a rhinoceros. Introduced? Now think about how this animal can paint a picture inspired by his love? It seems that the only free part of the body, that is, the horn, because only four limbs can hold it, so heavy. So you will have to depict a drawing rhinoceros on all fours.

The canvas is fixed at a height of about half a meter from the floor. And the felt-tip pen is inserted into one of the lapels of the hat with earflaps. It would be better if two “painters” began to create at once.

If he draws a “rhino,” then a rhino. If “rhino,” then she should depict a rhinoceros. And if he and she draw at the same time, then they will have to draw from nature, which will be nearby.

Reserve

Leading:

Ladies and Gentlemen! I want to ask you two questions, answering which you will receive prizes. The first question will be easy. Please name the only Russian television program in which you can win a lot of money by participating, and which was born in our country, and not “written off” from foreign analogues? That's right, this is the program “What? Where? When?". The main expert will receive a prize. The question is easy, so the prize awarded is small (at the presenter’s choice).

Well, now - the second question. I am addressing you as a team of experts from the just named program! Choose a captain, great! Let's get to know each other, captain... Very nice, croupier! You know the rules of the game as well as I do. You will have one minute to discuss. So - silence in the studio! An intelligent casino plays against experts!

...In world nature, -
In the struggle of the elements, in the gradual development
All beings, all forms were created
And they ignited with mighty life!

Dear experts! In one minute you need to name the author of these poetic lines! Time has passed, we are waiting for an answer!

(One minute later, after the answer from the “experts”, who probably went crazy.)

“The struggle of the elements, the development of gradual ...” should be understood as “natural selection, heredity and variability.” These lines briefly outline the theory of evolution, the author of which is Charles Darwin, and the author of the lines read is also Darwin, but not Charles, but his grandfather, Erasmus Darwin. Half a century before his grandson, he outlined the theory of the development of the animal world in his philosophical poems! The experts lost this round!

...We lost, but, I hope, we weren’t upset, the question was from the category of “unanswerable” and is unlikely to make it onto the table of a real game. I asked it for the sole purpose of reminding you once again of the connection between all living things. Let us remember, let us understand the importance of the issue, and the process of transformation, necessary for the game Reserve, will go easier.

What you need to play:

• Blindfolds.

All participants need to leave the table and move chairs and other objects that will interfere with the movement of animals throughout the reserve as far as possible. Yes, everyone present ended up on the territory of the reserve. All participants in the game are animals, its inhabitants. They are faced with the task of finding their blindfolded relatives by voice and characteristic sounds.

Everyone is blindfolded. The presenter approaches everyone and speaks into the ear the name of the animal that the player will imitate. Each player will have at least two, and more often, more relatives.

At the command “Start!” relatives must find each other by characteristic sounds: grunting, hissing, etc. and unite - hold hands. As soon as the players are sure that they have collected all “theirs” from the territory of the reserve, they raise their hands up. If you are truly the first and have not lost anyone, you are winners. You receive prizes, congratulate each other and go your separate ways, get new “roles”, etc. That’s the whole game.

Apple carving

Leading:

Gentlemen! Have you ever thought about this question: is it difficult to be a genius? No? But just think about what it’s like to be ahead of the curve - inventing, designing, composing, writing, drawing, playing?.. How much hard work and diligence is needed to develop ordinary human abilities to the level of genius? Or is it simpler? As one of the heroes of the film “Spring” reasoned:

“What about scientists? It's easy for them! I sat down, thought about it, and opened it!” Was Pushkin simply born Pushkin, Einstein Einstein, and Maradona Maradona? For example, have you tried pole vaulting? No? What if Sergei Bubka is dormant within you? Have you ever tried to turn a block of granite into a beautiful sculpture? In vain! I already see Michelangelo in you! We urgently need to make up for lost time and get busy... No, we won’t pole vault - there is no pole, and there is nowhere to fall from such a height, the sofa is clearly too hard, but sculpture is a completely different matter. Moreover, Michelangelo himself said: you just need to take a piece of marble and cut off everything unnecessary from it. We are unlikely to find marble now, so we will hold a creative competition called Apple Carving!

What is needed for the competition:

• Apples and teeth that are in the mouth.

The name probably explains everything. Or rather, almost everything. Each of them has the tool that sculptors will use - teeth. At the same time, the “chips” will not disappear - they can and should be eaten.

What figure to “cut”, or rather, “sculpt”, is decided collectively. Both individual sculptors and creative teams can compete, if, of course, they have conceived a composition of several figures.

Girl with a paddle

Leading:

I would like to start the next stage of our holiday by talking about trails. No, not tourist ones! not about animals and not about the paths of war. We won’t join the partisans yet either. The path interests us in Pushkin’s understanding of it. Can anyone quote Pushkin's most famous line about the path?

(It may well happen that at a fun holiday you will need a hint.)

I erected a monument to myself, not made by hands.
The people's path to him will not be overgrown,
He ascended higher with his rebellious head
Pillar of Alexandria!..

It is this “folk” and “unovergrown” path that I propose to trodden, without delay, right here and right now. You, of course, understand that such a unique path can only be trodden by creating an equally unique monument. According to the classic, it should be “not made by hands.” The question is controversial. Therefore we will go our own way. Is there anyone who wants to try on the laurels of Zurab Tsereteli? Or is the style of another master closer to you? Amazing. So, let's start a creative competition called Girl with a Paddle!

What is needed for the competition:

• Blindfold.

When working, each sculptor will need two volunteer assistants. One of them will be your clay - a masterpiece will be sculpted from it. The other will act as a sitter. The most important condition for holding the competition: the creator will have to work in complete darkness, that is, blindfolded.

The contestant is blindfolded. The sitter (the audience can help) takes some bizarre pose. It is advisable for the sculptor to move between the sitter and the sculpture with extreme caution so as not to crush their feet.

When the sculptor decides that the work is finished, he removes the bandage. Both he and the audience must compare the original and the copy. The greater the similarity, the fuller the glass is poured to the creator!

When holding a competition, it is important to remember that the time of loners has largely passed; now even creative workers often unite into teams. Therefore, newly-minted sculptors can compete in pairs and even trios! True, the complexity of the original compositions in this case will also increase! They will be created from three or even four people. And true art lovers will consider it an honor to take part in them!

penny basketball

Leading:

Tell me, that is, tell me, please, what can I do with the money? You can, I remember, “row them with a shovel”, you can “bathe” in them, “shed with golden rain”. Anything else? Yes, indeed, “paint the toilet with them,” “light the fireplace with them,” and also “throw them into the wind.”

Have you noticed that most of the expressions that we remembered answer the question: what to do with money if there is a lot of it? But how to answer a more pressing question: what to do if their cat cries? So, folk wisdom did not provide any interesting recipes. We will have to look for a way out ourselves, and not in theory, but in practice. They offer you to get rich in an unusual way - “know-how” of their own design, because no one has ever played basketball with coins. Let's try! Ladies and Gentlemen! Attention! Let's start Penny Basketball!

What you need to play:

• Porcelain plate.
• Coins.

The principle of the game is extremely simple, on the one hand, and gives unlimited scope for variations and improvement, on the other.

A team of two (to begin with) people distributes sports equipment among themselves: one - a large small porcelain plate, the other - several coins (of the same or different denominations - by agreement with other players).

Partners are located at a distance of 1.5 to 3 or more meters from each other (the higher the class of the players, the greater the distance). One of them throws the coins he has, the other tries to catch them using a plate (and only a plate!). And this is not as simple as it might seem at first glance, because they have the property of bouncing off porcelain. You will have to put in a lot of effort, dexterity and dexterity to keep the money flying at considerable speed on the plate.

In a team competition, each team is given the same number of coins of the same denomination. The winner is the one whose catcher catches the most coins with the plate. And now - possible variations of the game:

after a series of throws, the thrower and catcher change places, and the total amount caught is counted;
During the entire series of tosses, the coins are not removed from the plate. Only coins remaining on the plate after the end of the series are considered caught;
the thrower may be given coins of different denominations, and therefore of different weights. The heavier the coin, the harder it is to catch;
each subsequent throw is made from an increasingly greater distance;
Each player on the team is both a thrower and a catcher. Everyone has coins and a plate. The throw must be made absolutely synchronously;
the number of players in a team can be increased to 3 or more. In this case, all players make the throw simultaneously.
There can be a great variety of game options. Go for it!

Gatherings

Leading:

Friends! Shouldn't we talk about roots? No, not about the roots of plants or words. Let's talk about our roots. That is, about who we are, where we come from? Do you know your grandparents? Still would! What about great-grandparents? Already difficult. What about great-great-grandfathers? Perhaps there was no need to ask. Meanwhile, we all had them, they were doing something and somehow having fun, in the sense of relaxing. But how? For us, who love to have a good rest, we can certainly find a suitable experience in the past. For example, get-togethers. Like in the song: “Come to me, my friend, let’s sit and eat!” So you are welcome to the Gatherings!

What you need to play:

• Stools.
• Towel.

First they sit in pairs. Everyone is on their own stool. And so that it doesn’t get boring, the players are given a towel - one for two. One end of it is placed on one stool, the other end on the other.

Of course, everyone has heard about “pulling the blanket over oneself.” The players have something else to do - pull the towel over themselves. The players sit on a towel and grab the stool with their hands in order to more securely secure the towel between the stool and... and themselves. They secure it - and on command they begin to move forward, only each in his own direction.

The towel is first stretched, and then left with someone who is stronger, more dexterous and more persistent. The winner rejoices, the loser gives way to another candidate for the honorary title “most diligent.” The best party person is determined by the largest number of martial arts won.

Having “sat enough” one at a time, so to speak, in the individual competition, you can move on to the team competition and “sit” in pairs. For this type of gathering you will need a wider and stronger towel; and so - everything is the same.

Well, sitting poorly is better than standing well, and sitting well is better than sitting poorly. So take a seat and fight for the right to sit well!

Rublyathlon

Leading:

Agree that quite often, by combining seemingly incompatible things, you can get a nice result. For example, in sports: dancing plus swimming - synchronized swimming, hockey plus summer - field hockey, skiing plus acrobatics - freestyle. Now let's try to combine something close to us in this way. For example, money and hands are commonplace. What about money and legs? Most likely no one has tried it yet. We will be the first to know what happens if you hold money with your feet and then put the money in the right place, while competing with each other. And it will turn out to be Rublatlon!

What you need to play:

• Coins.
• A glass.

It's better to compete in teams. Each participant from the starting line must reach the goal (cup) and hit the target with a coin, then remove it from the cup, return to the team and pass the coin to the next player as a relay baton.

The most important thing: you need to carry the coin to the goal on the toe of your foot, simply placing it there and not holding it with anything. You also need to throw the coin into the target (into the cup) only with your foot, without helping yourself in any way.

If a coin falls off your foot while traveling, you need to stop, put it back in its original place, and only then continue moving. If the coin does not hit the target on the first try, you need to put it on your toe again and then try to throw it again. The team that completes the distance will win, and, naturally, throws before the other.

After the first winning team has been determined, the second round of competition can be held. It may differ from the first one, for example, in that there will be two coins - each for both socks. Everything else is the same.

There may be a third round - if you place the coin on your head and thus bring it to the target. In this case, carrying is much easier, but hitting the target is not an easy task, especially if you put one glass on both teams.

And one more thing: get your camera ready, otherwise such pictures will be lost for history!

Sladkodrome

Leading:

“How many times have they told the world…” that “you can’t even take a fish out of the pond without difficulty,” “however, everything is not for the future,” and everyone is waiting for their sweet pie... Almost according to Krylov, isn’t it? In my opinion, even worthy of applause... Why am I all this? Yes, for tea, my dears. For tea, or maybe for coffee, or maybe for soda, because today is a holiday! And these drinks should be served with something sweet. Once it’s supposed to be, so it will be. But there is one, or rather two, but.

The first is that there is nowhere to put tea, coffee, or sweets - too much of all yummy stuff has been eaten.

The second is the same “fish from the pond”... Do you feel where this is going? Right! Before you get delicious tea and sweets, everyone will have to shake themselves up a little and work hard. By the way, the process ahead of us all is very exciting, similar to fishing, only it will take place on land. So, I invite everyone to the Sweet Stadium!

What you need to play:

• Candies.
• Paper clips,
• Ropes (according to the number of participants).
• Plates (also according to the number of participants).

Equipment is usually tested at various kinds of dromes. Participants in the game will have to become candy harvesters of different models. They will be called: KUK of the “Misha” system, KUK of the “Natasha” system, etc.

Cleaning up the candies is made possible because each candy has a firmly attached protruding hook - an unbent paper clip. Each candy harvester has a rope ring of such a size hung around its neck that when the COOK gets on all fours, it does not reach the floor a little.

Harvesting at the sweetdrome should only be done with the help of this device; helping yourself with your hands is strictly prohibited!

Another. Two combines should go to the sweetdrome and start harvesting candies at once - we need to know which KUK model works more efficiently! The tests will be held according to the Olympic system - the loser is eliminated.

Only candies placed in the bins of the homeland are counted - in these plates, everyone has their own. You can't unhook the candy with your hands either. And finally: you must not touch your opponent’s rope with any part of the combine. Get ready - the harvesting begins!

Shall we dance?

Leading:

My friends! My speech will probably be the shortest I have ever given, and there is a very good reason for this. This reason is this. The reason is the cassette, which is already in the tape recorder, ready to be played to sing us the most beautiful slow composition of all existing ones. So, as they say, “let’s dance, Lucy!”

There is only one condition of the competition: let the partners for this dance - note, a very slow dance, a very beautiful, very erotic dance - so let His Majesty choose the partners. Everything is very simple, like everything ingenious. I place a chair in the center of our dance floor, and I need a volunteer to sit on this chair for a while. Young man, please sit down! And now - music!

Here it sounds, and two brave girls who want to dance should approach the sitting young man from behind and put their hands - one on his left shoulder, the other on his right. The young man, without looking, selects one of the girl’s hands placed on his shoulders and goes to dance with the owner of the hand.

The remaining girl should take a place on a chair, two young men come up to her and put their hands on her shoulders, etc. That’s all the explanation, there’s only dancing ahead!

Why are corporate business games important for overall business success? How to choose corporate games and competitions for your company to bring the team together? Read on for answers to these and other questions.

You will learn:

Different areas of human activity are directly related to certain forms of play. Although in Russian practice the science of personnel management is a fairly young area, it can still be argued - corporate games have become an integral part of the activities of domestic companies that strive to unite the team and develop.

Corporate games solve important business problems:

• organization of joint leisure;
• team development;
• training of company employees;
• improvement motivation, working mood of employees;
• employees receive honor, prestige or reward;
• conditional modeling of a real working situation.

Employees are usually interested in spending time together in an informal setting to get to know each other better and build close friendships. Competitions allow employees to improve their self-esteem, allowing them to stand out in the team with the results of their creativity and talents.

Types of corporate games

1. Educational: team interaction trainings, conferences, corporate seminars.

2. Business: presentations, award ceremonies, dealer meetings. In such events, the main condition is to adhere to a strict business style, emphasizing the importance of friends and partners of your organization.

3. Entertainment: holding all corporate events. The key role is given to an interesting scenario in which all employees and colleagues of the company are united.

4. Intellectual: activities based on the principle of personal development of each employee. The company can also organize trips to historical places, division competitions, intensive tours, etc.

Where and who should hold corporate games

Where:

• bars, restaurants, cafes;
• offices;

How to make friends between departments: games “Thank you”, “Crocodile” and others

Labor productivity and the level of income of the organization directly depend on the psychological climate in the team. This is evidenced by the results of a Gallup survey among 1.4 million employees from 34 countries. It turned out that companies with more satisfied employees have 22 percent higher profits and 27 percent higher productivity. Engaged employees are ready to solve complex problems, help each other and work for the development of the company.

The editors of the Commercial Director magazine explained how game mechanics help motivate the team to act together and participate in company projects.

Is it necessary to give gifts for winning and participating in corporate games?

The question of gifts for participation or victory in corporate games is an important nuance in the preparation of the entire event. To select suitable gifts, you need to consider the following nuances:

– What is not customary to give as a gift in a company?

– What budget is allocated for the purchase of relevant goods?

– What was awarded last year?

– Are standard corporate gifts or originality welcome?

– Are gifts ready-made or do they need to be made?

– What gifts correspond to the theme of the event?

– How should gifts be decorated?

Special gift giving is important. They can be awarded without games. In particular, some commercial companies give their employees small souvenirs or candies during peak sales days. Such gifts are especially important on difficult working days to maintain productivity and motivation.

TOP 10 best corporate games for entertainment

"Ring throw." On the floor close to each other line up empty bottles, as well as bottles of soft and alcoholic drinks. From a distance of 3 meters it is proposed to put a ring on the bottle. Whoever puts the ring on a full bottle takes it as a reward. The number of throws for each participant should be limited. The ring can be cut out of thin cardboard with a diameter of 10 centimeters.

"In a plate". The driver names any letter. Participants will have to be the first to name an object with this letter from those that are currently on the plate. Having named the item first, the player becomes the driver. If no one could name a word for the driver's letter, he will be awarded a prize. Don’t forget to the driver to prohibit letters for which the object cannot be (е, и, ъ, ь, ы).

"Sweetie". The participants are at the table, the driver is determined. Players pass candy to each other under the table. The driver has to catch someone passing the candy. If the player is caught, he becomes the new driver.

"Crocodile". 2 teams of players participate. The first team chooses a specific word, pantomiming it without using sounds or words. The second player has to guess the hidden word in 3 attempts. Then the teams change places. The game is for fun, although you can keep score.

"Joking test." This test can be carried out with the participation of everyone present. Participants are given sheets of paper and pens. They have to write certain abbreviations on pieces of paper in a column. Opposite each abbreviation is a line from a poem or song. After completing the task, the meanings of incomprehensible abbreviations will be communicated. Each participant can find out and show their neighbors their current state. You can come up with any abbreviations, but it is better if they correspond to the theme of the holiday.

"What to do, if…". Participants are invited to consider situations that are related to work - they need to find a way out. The person who proposes the most suitable solution to the problem will receive a prize point.

"Accuracy". A factory-made Darts game is ideal. Although options with homemade analogues are possible.

"Best Toast". The presenter reminds that a real man should be able to drink. But the goal is not to drink more than the rest, but to do it as gracefully as possible - the participants compete in the beauty of the toasts they pronounce.

"Unusual sculptures." Men will have to use balloons of different shapes and sizes and use tape to create a female figure.

"Pig in a poke." During the break, you can organize a silent auction. Participants are offered lots wrapped in wrapping paper so that it is not clear what is inside. During the event, the presenter can pronounce the name of the item in a comic form. An auction is held with real money, starting with a symbolic amount. Before presentation, the item is unwrapped to satisfy the public's curiosity.

Which corporate games are educational?

Employee training is based on special laws developed by Edward Lee Thorndike:

The first law is the Law of Readiness

- feel desire;

- feel the need;

– understanding and acceptance of the information received;

- be interested.

Second Law – Law of Effect

Nothing achieves impact like success in the gameplay.

Third Law – Law of Practice

– practice motivates teachers;

– practice makes perfect;

– you need enough time to practice;

– Feedback is required during training.

Educational corporate games can be:

1. Adventurous situations for employees. For example, the game “Marina Mnishek’s Treasure Search.” Here, a kaleidoscope of events leads workers to various extreme situations that need to be urgently resolved. The game is regularly accompanied by “unforeseen collisions.” For example, a bus breaks down, treasures are unexpectedly stolen, etc. All employees participate in an adventurous situation, which contributes to their learning and improvement of interaction.

2. Really valuable prizes. Employees have the opportunity to improve their own status by winning a corporate lottery. Large companies can provide large prizes. And employees can not only receive a valuable prize, but also fame among colleagues - a powerful incentive for the formation of a corporate culture.

3. Corporate cinema. A film about the creation and holding of a corporate competition or lottery also becomes an effective way to attract and unite employees into a common union, increasing interest in the company. The tasks that employees will perform in preparing and executing the event are to influence employees by promoting group enthusiasm in developing creativity and teamwork. Usually in this case these problems are solved without any particular difficulties.

The non-financial incentive method is really important

Tamara Chukardina, Vice President, People's Insurance Company "Rekon", Moscow

Our company regularly organizes corporate competitions between sales departments. In particular, at the end of last year there was serious competition in the market for compulsory motor insurance policies, largely unfair. We had to maintain the portfolio with increasing sales levels in such conditions. We did not resort to increasing the commission for agents; a different path was chosen. If the agent concluded the largest percentage of contracts, he was given a plasma TV as a gift.

Another competition was also held - the level of sales of CASCO contracts was taken into account, also with the presentation of prizes (digital cameras, laptops, mobile phones). Such a competition was intended to orient agents to work not only with MTPL, but also with the more complex area of ​​auto insurance.

Who plays corporate business games

What is a corporate business game? It is a full-scale event lasting group work for 8-36 hours, with a single structure and task. Business game as an element of training. A simulation of the real situation with which the participants work is reproduced.

How corporate business games are created. Creating a corporate game is a creative process with the participation of 2 parties - developers (they are representatives of the training company) and problem setters (the employees themselves). One task should be set for conducting a corporate game - for example, to establish interaction between two structures.

A thorough study of the order for a corporate game is carried out, then the tasks are embodied in a business game, which is a semblance of a real business situation. As a result, clients get the opportunity to see what is happening now and what changes are needed for maximum efficiency in the company’s work. And the main thing within the business game is transformation in the company itself and people, contributing to better results.

What are the advantages of a corporate business game:

Individuality of the proposed game, better efficiency. A business game allows you to achieve better efficiency with personalized, individual development, identifying a possible problem for a specific team and a specific company.

Integrity, duration and integrity of the game. The consistency and integrity of the game allows you to recreate the entire system of corporate relations, capabilities and complexities of the company.

Game “Come up with an idea for the further development of the company”

Natalia Orlova, head of the NutUniversity training center of the Moscow Nut Company

We regularly practice the “Battle of Minds” competition. Each employee has the opportunity to put forward a specific solution or idea for the further development of the company, offering new developments or services. The jury is made up of key employees and managers. The most interesting and practical solution wins. We strive not only to obtain valuable business ideas, but also to involve employees of different departments in the formation of business strategies and the decision-making process.

We also regularly hold joint holidays and do not forget to congratulate employees on personal memorable dates. Each enterprise has its own traditions, but the fact of attention to the employee is extremely important.

Rules for a successful business game

Konstantin Bocharsky, owner of the online children's toy store Toyzez.ru, presenter of business games, Moscow

You can't disappoint your employees' expectations. If you tell people that they will learn a technique for solving a problem, there is no need to discourage them with a game. If you are sure that you need a game, you need to warn about it in advance. If people are waiting for a systematic presentation of the problem, and you start the game, this can provoke misunderstandings and negativity.

1. No theory needed. You need to give tasks right away, then only analyze the identified errors.

2. Participants should not be told in advance what they are to learn.

3. Use game currency. After all, economic relations become the strongest incentive in the game. It is optimal if such currency can be converted into certain game assets.

4. Game tasks should be close to real work tasks. But they should not be an absolute copy. It is valuable when assignments involve working with real practices and techniques that will be used in the work.

5. Don't drag out the game, otherwise people will get tired. 2-5 hours is the optimal duration for the game.

6. Group participants into teams. To meet the allotted time and involve all participants, you need to be able to divide them into teams.

7. There should not be enough time to solve the problem in the game. Between the question “give more time” or “give less,” choose the second option. Promotes activation of energy, sometimes people are able to perform miracles.

8. Embody the problem in an artistic image. A very effective practice is to express an abstract problem using specific objects, getting to the core better. Invite the participants in the game to recreate an installation about the problem under consideration, explaining to the audience the essence of the work.

The experience gained during the game must be “appropriated”. You need to talk through the experience gained and describe its meaning to your colleagues.

Document the results of the game so that you can use the experience gained in real work.

A few words about intellectual games

Intellectual games are built on the fact that you need to think before acting. But no one can do without positive emotions and laughter in such serious games.

Options for intellectual games:

1. Competition for erudition. Quotes or episodes, phrases of certain works are read out - from a variety of options you need to guess the correct option.

2. Competition for ingenuity. You should come up with new names for all 12 months, explaining the reason for your choice.

3. Painting. The presenter must prepare famous paintings in advance. Participants are shown small fragments of paintings - they will need to guess the work.

4. Detective. The game should begin by choosing a leader who will be a detective. Players need to hide words, he will look for them. The detective needs to leave the room for a while; a line from a famous poem or proverb will be asked. For example, the saying “Language will take you to Kyiv.” We break it down into parts: “language”, “to”, “Kyiv”, “will bring”. When searching for an answer, the detective is allowed to ask any 3 participants in the game 3 questions.

5. Remember details. The presenter enters the room and holds the item in his hands, showing it for a short time. Then he makes distracting movements and hides the thing. Participants will have to remember as many details about this thing as possible.

4 ways to encourage employees to participate in corporate games

Incentives. The Russian mentality wants to hear praise and moral encouragement.

Nominations. For example, “Discovery of the Year”, “Hope and Support”, “Mighty Handful”, “Skillful Hands”, etc. Present appropriate diplomas and souvenirs that reflect the essence of the nomination.

Present. Presentation of a memorable gift, especially if individually chosen for a specific person.

Interest. If we are talking about training, you should take into account people’s interest in the proposed topic.

Funny, amusing competitions will allow you to have a good rest and have fun at the New Year's party. For the presenters, who are tasked with organizing the entertainment part, we offer an original selection of games, competitions and quizzes for the scenario of a festive corporate party!

To make the New Year's holiday more successful, we have made for you a selection of the most interesting competitions and fun.

Table

To begin with, we propose to include cool competitions at the table in the program of the New Year's corporate party at work.

What will Santa Claus give?

Attributes: small pieces of paper, pens (or pencils).

Before sitting down to the festive table, guests receive a small piece of paper and write down what gift they would like to wish for themselves in the new year. This could be, for example, a new apartment, a car, a dog, a trip, money, a lover...

The leaves are rolled up into a tube and placed in a beautiful box, a hat... At some point in the evening, the host asks everyone to pull out a random piece of paper and find out what good Santa Claus has prepared for him for the next year. Everyone has different desires, so it will be fun! And your wish will come true if you save the piece of paper until the next holiday, and then tell about what came true.

You can attach the leaves with threads to a rope/fishing line and then, as you did in childhood, blindfolded and using scissors, cut off your wish. Another variation is to tie notes to balloons and hand them out to those present.

I want, I want, I want!... Branded want

Another game about wishes. But this time without attributes.

5-7 volunteers are called. They take turns naming their wish for next year. You need to speak quickly, without holding up the line! Stopping for more than 5 seconds means the player is eliminated. We play until we win - until the last player! (Small prize possible).

Let's raise a glass! New Year's toasts

When guests get bored in the midst of a feast, invite them not just to fill their glasses, but to make a toast or congratulations to everyone present.

There are two conditions - each speech must be one sentence long and begin with the letters of the alphabet in order!

For example:

• A - I am absolutely sure that the new year will be the best!
• B - Be healthy and happy!
• Q – In general, I’m glad to be with you today!
• G - Pride bursts at the sight of those gathered at this table!..

The most fun moment is when the letters e, e, yu, y, s come into play.

Game option: each next toast begins with the last letter of the previous congratulation. For example: “I’m very glad if you support me with applause! “And all the best to you...” To complicate things, you can prohibit starting a toast with prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.

“I’ll sing about Frost!” Compose a ditty

During the evening, those who wish must write and then present to the audience a ditty, which contains New Year’s words or themes pre-set by the presenter. It could be “New Year, Father Frost, Snow Maiden.”

You can compose awkward songs - with the last line unrhymed, but maintaining the given rhythm of the ditty. Example:

Hello, red Santa Claus
you brought us gifts!
The most important thing is ten days
Let's just relax.

Snow news

Attributes: Cards with word-nouns. There are 5 completely unrelated nouns written on the cards. It is advisable to include at least 1 winter word there.

The participant draws out a card, reads out loud the given words and within 30 seconds (although if those present at the party are already, well, very tired, then 1 minute is possible) comes up with a news story from one sentence. And all the words from the card should fit in it.

Nouns can be turned into other parts of speech (adjectives, verbs, adverbs...) and changed as you like, and the news must certainly be interesting and funny.

You can start the news with the words “Sensation!”

For example:

• 1 card – “road, chair, roof, bicycle, snowman.” Sentence - “Outside the city, a huge snowman with a broken roof was discovered on a road bike with a chair instead of a seat!”
• Card 2 – “fence, sound, ice floe, shop, Christmas tree.” Sentence - “Near the store, under the fence, someone left a Christmas tree with sounding pieces of ice.”

Try this: it will be even more interesting if you prepare a lot of cards, where one different word will be written, and the players themselves will draw out the 5 words they get.

Fun guaranteed!

I like/don't like my neighbor

The game does not require any improvised means! But requires a sufficient degree of emancipation or relaxed relationships in the team.

The presenter invites everyone present to name which part of the body (can be clothing) they like about the person sitting on the left, and which they don’t like. For example: “My neighbor on the right, I like his left ear and don’t like his bulging pocket.”

After everyone has named and remembered what was said, the presenter asks to kiss (or stroke) what they like and bite (or spank) what they don’t like.

Not everyone can play, but only 6-8 brave people are called into the circle.

Our friend is orange!

This game can be played at a New Year's party in the office only if all colleagues know each other well. Or at least everyone has a friend or girlfriend in the team.

The presenter thinks of a person from those present at the table. And the participants, with the help of leading questions, try to guess who it is.

But questions are not simple - they are associations! Whoever guesses first wins.

The questions are something like this:

• — What fruit/vegetable does it look like? - For an orange.
• — What food is it associated with? - With pies.
• - With what animal? - With a mole.
• — With what music? - With choral singing.
• - With what flower?
• - With what plant?
• - By car?
• - Color?
• — Part of the world?

Yin-yang cones

Attributes: 2 cones - one painted white, the other black. If you have nothing to dye with, you can wrap them with colored woolen threads of the desired color.

The course of the fun: a host is selected from among the guests, who will have these two cones. They are signals of his answers, because he is not allowed to speak at all. He thinks of a word, and the others, with the help of leading questions, try to guess what he is up to.

The whole secret is that he can only silently show: YES - this is a white lump, NO - black. If neither this nor that, he can lift both at once.

The first one to guess correctly wins.

Instead of pine cones, you can take multi-colored Christmas balls. But you need to be careful with glass ones, especially if the presenter has already drunk a couple of glasses of champagne.

Associations on paper. Broken telephone associations

Attributes of the players: paper and pen.

The first person writes any noun word on his piece of paper and speaks it quietly into his neighbor’s ear. He comes up with his own association for this word, writes it down and whispers it to the next person.

This is how associations are transmitted along the chain... The last one speaks out loud the word given to him. It is compared with the original source and it is fun to find out at which link in the chain of associations the failure occurred: everyone reads out their nouns.

funny neighbor

Any number of guests can play.

We stand in a circle, and the driver begins: he performs an action with his neighbor that will make him laugh. He can take him by the ear, pat him on the shoulders, tap him on the nose, flick his arm, touch his knee... That's it, those standing in a circle must repeat the same movement with your neighbor/neighbor.

The one who laughs is eliminated.

Then the driver makes the next movement, everyone repeats. If no one laughed, new movement. And so on until the last “Nesmeyana”.

New Year's rhyme machine

The driver reads out little-known New Year/winter quatrains. But he only says the first 2 lines out loud.

The rest are invited to take part in a competition for the best rhymer.

Guests come up with and rhyme the last two lines. Then the funniest and most original poet is selected, and then the original poem is read out amid general laughter and joy.

Drawing competition “I see, I see the New Year!”

Those who wish are given A-4 sheets of free-form lines and markers. Everyone has the same image (copier can help you).

The task is to complete a picture on a New Year's theme.

Of course, everyone knows who in the team is best versed in painting. So he or she will evaluate the results. Whoever is more interesting is the winner! There can be many winners - it’s a holiday!

Movable

Nimble cone

Attributes: pine or fir cones.

Progress of the game: guests can either sit at the table or stand in a circle (if they have been sitting too long by this time). The task is to pass the pine cone to each other. The condition is that you can transmit it only by holding it on the back of your two palms. Try it, it's quite difficult... But also fun!

You can also divide into equal teams, and whichever one hands over its cone faster wins.

My Frost is the most beautiful!

You will need various items such as: garlands, funny hats, scarves, beads, ribbons. socks, mittens, women's bags... Two or three ladies who want to be in the role of Snow Maidens for a few minutes each choose a man to turn him into Father Frost.

From items prepared in advance on the table, the Snow Maidens create a cheerful image of their hero. In principle, you can end here by choosing the most successful and funniest model...

The Snow Maiden can take snowflakes for herself, which will help with the “design” of Santa Claus and with advertising.

Snow paths

This is a very successful game to determine pairs for subsequent New Year competitions.

Attributes: colored ribbons in winter shades (blue, light blue, silver...). Length 4-5 meters. It is necessary to cut the ribbons in half in advance and sew them together, mixing up the halves.

3-4 pairs of players are called. The presenter holds a basket/box, to which lie multi-colored ribbons, the ends of which hang down.

Presenter: “On New Year’s Day, the paths were covered with snow... The blizzard mixed up the paths in Santa Claus’s house. We need to untangle them! In pairs, each grab the end of the tape that you like and pull the track towards you. The couple that draws their ribbon before the others will receive a prize!”

Players choose a pair and the color of the ribbon, expecting that there will be a single ribbon at the ends of the same color. But the fun is that the ribbons are sewn in different ways, and completely unexpected pairs are formed.

Happy people train

Everyone loves round dances: both small and large (and those who are embarrassed to admit it)!

Give your guests a round dance-train. It is clear that vacationers at a party may find it difficult to motivate themselves to participate in an active competition, so come up with something for them branded slogans.

- Now those who are attached to the train are
a) desires great wealth for himself,
b) wants to be loved,
c) who wants a lot of health,
d) who dreams of traveling to the sea, etc.

The host drives the train around the hall, it fills and fills with guests. And when it is clear that no one else can be pulled out from behind the tables, train dances are arranged (the host can show them) to daring music.

New Year's fixed deposit

Attributes: candy wrapper money.

Two pairs are selected, each with a man and a woman. It is advisable for the men to be dressed approximately the same (if one has a jacket, then the other should also wear a jacket).

— Dear women, the New Year is approaching, and you need to have time to make a fixed-term deposit in the bank. Here's some money for you (each of the women is given a pack of candy wrappers). These are initial payments. You will put them in the bank on a super fixed deposit. Your men are your banks. Only one condition - each “bill” is in a separate cell! Pockets, sleeves, collars, lapels and other secluded places can become cells. Contributions can be made while the music is playing. Just remember where you put your money. Let's start!

The task is given 1-2 minutes.

- Attention! Intermediate check: whoever managed to make a full investment (not a single candy wrapper left in their hands) receives an additional point. All the money is in business!

- And now, dear depositors, you must quickly withdraw cash - after all, we know that it was a super quick deposit. Each of you will be filming blindfolded, but you will always remember what you put and where. Music! Let's start!

The trick is that the men are swapped, and the women, blindfolded, “search” someone else’s partner without knowing it. Everyone has fun!

We are actors no matter what!

Those who wish to participate are given cards with tasks. None of them knows in advance what they will have to face.

The presenter announces that the participants need to take a walk in front of everyone, depicting what is written on the cards. Here is a sample list:

• tightrope walker over the abyss,
• duck in the yard,
• teenager with a stalled bike,
• shy girl,
• shy Japanese woman in a kimono in the rain,
• baby starting to walk,
• heron in the swamp,
• Joseph Kobzon at a performance
• policeman at the market,
• hare along the path,
• model on the catwalk,
• arab sheikh,
• cat on the roof, etc.

The tasks can be supplemented and expanded with any ideas.

Funny joke “Bear in a den or slow-witted spectators”

Attention: only played once!

The presenter invites someone who wants to perform a pantomime, takes him to a separate room and gives him a “secret” task - portray without words bear (hare or kangaroo).

Meanwhile, the presenter's assistant negotiates with the others NOT to understand his body movements.

The volunteer returns and begins to show the selected animal with movements and gestures. The guests pretend that they do not understand and call anything but the person they are shown.

- Does he waddle around? Yes, this is the platypus (lame fox, tired boar)!
- Licking his paw? The cat is probably washing itself.
Etc.

It happens that the person portraying is surprised by the guests’ lack of understanding and begins to get angry: “Are you so stupid? It's so simple! And if he shows hellish patience, shows it again and again - he has nerves of iron! But this also amuses the employees gathered at the party. There is no need to delay. When the player begins to run out of imagination and patience, you can guess the correct animal.

3. Music competitions

Can you imagine the New Year without music, songs and dances? That's right, no! For additional entertainment and fun, many music competition games have been invented for the New Year's corporate party.

Scene “Clip-song”

This is the most creative musical fun for a New Year's corporate evening.

Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Father Frost, the Christmas tree, the Snow Maiden... and simple attributes that will help the players dress up (beads, hats, felt boots, scarves...)

The task is to make a corporate video for the song “The Little Christmas Tree Is Cold in Winter.” We need an operator who will shoot a video clip on camera.

Participants, to the accompaniment of songs, begin to depict all the actions that are sung about: “the little gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree” - the hero is jumping, “they hung the beads” - the team hangs the beads on an improvised living “Christmas tree”.

You can divide into two teams (employees and female employees) and each will shoot their own video. It is advisable to display the results on a large screen and compare them. The winners will be awarded with branded souvenirs or applause.

Competition "Lazy Dancing"

The players sit in a circle on chairs and begin to dance to the cheerful New Year's music and song. But these are strange dances - no one gets up from their seats!

At the command of the leader, they dance with different parts of the body:

• First we dance with our elbows!
• Then shoulders
• legs,
• fingers,
• lips,
• eyes, etc.

The rest choose the coolest dance.

Upside down song

This is a comic game that you can play at any time during the holiday. The presenter recites lines from a New Year/winter song, but with the words in reverse. Everyone's task is who is faster guess the original and sing it. The person who guesses correctly is given a chip (candy wrapper, candy, cone...) so that later it will be easier to count the winner in the entire competition.

The lines might look something like this:

- The birch tree died in the steppe. - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree.
- The old month is slow, nothing will happen for a long time. - The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon.
— White, white steam rose on the ground. — Blue-blue frost lay on the wires.
- One gray donkey, one gray donkey. - Three white horses, three white horses.

Song competition “Musical hat of Santa Claus”

Attributes: put words from New Year's songs in the hat.

A corporate party is not only a way to unite the team, but also a fun time. In order for it to be such, you need to try. Games at a corporate party will lift the spirits of everyone present and brighten up any evening. Which ones are the most popular? Cool games at corporate events are usually organized in the form of competitions in which several team members, and sometimes entire teams, participate. This evening program will be suitable for both already united workers and strangers. It is best to hold competitions after a couple of toasts, when the drinks taken will relax and enliven the guests.

Let's take a closer look at these games and competitions:

• “Don’t take pictures all evening!”
• "Remember all".
• "Accuracy".
• "Deaf telephone" and others.

“Don’t take pictures all evening!”

Surely every man in the team will come to the corporate event in a formal suit, and women will wear dresses for the occasion. Such outfits seem too strict, they are not entirely suitable for fun, and the dark colors of the suits are not at all pleasing to the eye. This competition will help you add excitement to your business image. It is best suited for men. Women in this case will act as spectators.

The most unusual and colorful wardrobe items are placed in a large cardboard box: hats, glasses, carnival masks, clown noses, skirts and much more. To the music, the competition participants will pass the box to each other, and as soon as its sound stops, without looking, they will choose one thing for themselves. It is the loser who puts it on himself. The game is played as a knockout game. Only one of the participants will be the winner and will be left without an addition to the costume.

Participants in the competition will have to wear all purchased items until the end of the evening. Surely it will be fun to see a security officer in a spectacular bra, and a plant director wearing a children's cap on his head.

"Remember all"

On sheets of paper you need to write one word each and form two teams of players. Each team chooses a piece of paper with a task word. They need to remember and sing a song containing this word. The team that sings the most songs wins. Unity in this competition is not the least important.

"Accuracy"

Games at corporate parties, funny and cheerful, usually have ambiguous connotations. Participants are divided into pairs: a man and a woman. The woman's task is to firmly hold an empty bottle without a cap between her legs. A nail is attached to the man's trousers, which must be used to get into the neck of the bottle. This will not be easy to do. Under the laughter of colleagues and cheerful music, someone will have to become a winner.

"Deaf telephone"

We all played “Deaf Telephone” as children. Do you remember how fun it was? Why not borrow corporate games from your childhood? It is best to choose words for participants that are complex and close to the profession. Participants can be confused by words that sound like obscene expressions. The longer the “deaf phone” chain, the more unexpected the last player’s answer will be.

"Zodiac sign"

Perhaps it is thanks to the corporate party that colleagues will open their eyes to many qualities of each other that were not known until now. Games at corporate parties, funny in nature, become even more fun if the participants have artistic talent. The essence of the game is that each person must depict his or her zodiac sign without words; you can only use gestures and facial expressions. The rest will have to guess. It is best to play the game in a cheerful group.

"Musical chairs"

Competitions and games for corporate parties do not have to be new; we should not forget about those that have become a tradition. No party is complete without musical chairs. The rules are simple and have long been known to everyone. The number of chairs is one less than the number of players. To the music, the participants move and dance around the chairs, and as soon as it turns off, everyone must take their place on one of them. The loser does not have enough chair, the game continues for elimination. The chairs are removed with each loser. There will be one winner.

Dance

Games at a corporate party in a team should lift your spirits and create a special atmosphere. Any number of people willing are invited to participate in the competition. They are given the task: to write a certain word or number in the air with part of their body. You need to do this with the fifth point, carefully drawing the details of the sign in the air. While the participants are completing the task, it is best to turn on erotic music for striptease. Members of the team who remain as spectators will watch an extremely funny picture.

Table games

Table games for corporate parties can be not only intellectual, but also fun. Time will fly by unnoticed, and most importantly, with benefit and pleasure. Table games exclude observers. All team members will be able to be involved in the process. Table games for women at corporate events are also most often used.

"Mafia"

The cult game "Mafia" has become extremely popular. Many positive aspects make it not only interesting, but also useful. It unites the team, develops attentiveness and thinking, as well as acting skills and cunning, the ability to take risks and much more.

Any number of participants sits at a round table. You can use playing cards and agree on which one represents what. The leader takes a number of cards equal to the number of participants. A small team may have one mafia, a large team may have two, etc. Red cards may represent the mafia, while black cards may represent civilians. The host deals the cards and the players get their role. The mafia's task is to deceive civilians, and they, in turn, must guess who the mafia is.

"What? Where? When?"

Another game familiar to everyone can become a “feature” of your corporate evening. Everyone knows the rules of the game. There must be two or more teams, but the tasks must be thought out in advance. It would be a good idea to link them to the theme of the evening or to the specialization of your company.

"Voice"

Team cohesion can become the object of careful testing with the help of games at a corporate party. Every day, spending everyday life with the same people, we remember them not only by their appearance, but also by their voice, and sometimes we recognize them by the sound of their steps. The “Voice” game involves testing your memory for the voices of your colleagues.

One participant is selected and turned with his back to the table. Each colleague speaks one phrase, changing his voice. The player, relying on memory and intuition, must determine who exactly the voice belongs to and voice the name of this person. This way you can not only have fun, but also test the degree of cohesion among employees.

"Not looking"

To play at a corporate party in a team, a volunteer is selected and blindfolded. Without looking, by touch, he must recognize his colleagues and say their names. To confuse the participant, you can take off your tie, wear a push-up bra over your shirt, try on a wig, and so on. You may hear many unexpected answers to the question, which will undoubtedly be fun.

"Colleague"

Pieces of paper on which the names of employees and their positions are written are placed in the container. Any number of people can participate. Players take turns taking out a piece of paper. Each of them must show by gestures, habits and facial expressions whose name he got. The task of everyone else is to guess the position held and name their colleague.

"Let's shake hands"

Games at a corporate party for getting to know each other are usually held at the very beginning of the feast. Shaking each other’s hand at the first meeting has been a tradition for a long time, and everyone knows about it. The entire team needs to be divided into two teams. A competitive spirit will help you make acquaintances quickly. To the music, people sitting at the table will have to shake hands in a chain. The team finishing first will be considered the winner.

"Snowball"

Games at a corporate party in a team, held for getting to know each other, can also develop the memory of the participants. Employees sit in a large circle. One of them says his name. The next one is the name of the previous one and your own. So, from the starting player, everyone must say the names of all the previous people and then their own. The most difficult task, of course, will go to the person who will have to name all the names.

Mobile competitions for corporate events

Movement is life. Moving competitions will make you move a little. You can arrange a relay race among the participants. The tasks should not be too difficult. Teams of 5-6 people will have to strive not only to win and complete their tasks, but also to be a spectacle for observers.

"Director's name"

One letter is written on A4 sheets, and these sheets are compiled into a word. Or rather, in the name of the director of the enterprise. Teams must unravel the word scrambled on the sheets and quickly form the correct order to make the name readable.

"Important Paper"

Participants of two teams must form two circles. Their hands are located behind their backs, and in the mouth of one of their colleagues there is an “important” paper. You need to pass it only with your mouth, holding the edge of the sheet. The team that does this faster will be the winner. It is important that the paper goes around a full circle and does not fall.

Competitions and games for corporate parties are the basis of a successful evening. Determine your own goals for the event in order to choose the right program for your pastime. Remember that each goal is achieved in its own way, but the shortest is a good mood and a positive approach. In any case, games and competitions are an important component of the so-called team building. They can be arranged not only at corporate events, but also during breaks in the work process.
