Competitions for company outdoors in summer. Several fun outdoor competitions for corporate events

In nature in the summer, so long-awaited for many Russians, everyone wants to frolic, even a group of adults wants to try out cool games! A street is, first of all, a huge, free space. Here, for example, you don’t have to worry about the noise level that neighbors will come to complain about. You can prepare barbecue, swim in the river, just lie in a hammock and just enjoy the warmth of the sun on the river bank. Rent a college for a few days for a corporate event, or go to the country with close friends. But no matter what company you have with you, the most important thing is that by getting together on the street you can perfectly remember your childhood through games!

A little about security

Even before packing for your vacation, you should think about what you will be doing and what unpleasant consequences might come out of it all.

What could it be:

1. Abrasions and cuts. There is nothing easier than cutting yourself on a branch, cutting grass, or tripping and breaking your knee. Take a first aid kit with you and check for hydrogen peroxide, cotton wool and band-aids;
2. Headache. Surely a group of cheerful adults will not deny themselves a drink. But each person is unique, as is his body. Some people will run to swim in the morning without a hangover, while others will lie in pain all day. Take care of pain medication;
3. Ticks. If you are going on a picnic to a place where tick treatment has not been carried out, be sure to stock up on acaricides. Inspect yourself periodically for ticks. They are easiest to spot on light-colored clothing;
4. Mosquitoes. Insects whose bites are inextricably linked with outdoor recreation. Stock up on proven remedies against these insects, otherwise by evening you will have to wrap yourself in a blanket from head to toe.

Don’t ignore the safety of your own health, even when you absolutely don’t want to be distracted from the fun by such things!

About splitting games

Few people think about it for the street. It seems that they are all equally similar and there is nothing to divide here, but this is only at first glance! For example, running around briskly, singing a song that, if you win, your friend asked would be more appropriate in the middle, when everyone has already relaxed a little. Therefore, let's start from the most restrained games to the most liberated ones.

Game: associations

This game is just for warming up. A presenter is not required, and everyone present can take part: men and women. You don’t need to stand up or line up either, but for convenience you can sit in a circle. The first player specifies the word to which an association must be made. For example: “cats are…”. All participants must find an interesting association as quickly as possible. Those players who have already drunk can really surprise everyone present with their imagination. The next association is set by the one the first player points to. It will not work to remain silent, because the silent ones and those who refuse with phrases like “I don’t know what to say” automatically drop out of the game.

Maps and quests

Typically, card games are not considered street games, but their peculiarity lies in their mobility. Board games are fun games for a group of adults, both outdoors, on a trip or at home. While everyone knows regular playing cards, sets like “Ruff”, “Crocodile” and “Boom” are not so popular. Although they are created specifically for large and cheerful companies.

• Ruff is literally a drinking game. In a dense deck, each card contains a task that the player either completes or gives up and drinks. Among the cards there are also bonus ones to prank other players or protect yourself. There are many options and they are all described in the accompanying rules. Ruff is an excellent choice for a drunk company;

The advantage of board games of this type is that there is no host. No one has to temporarily watch the fun and keep track of the rules and scoring.

• Crocodile. This game has long earned the status of a famous game in Russia. The basic principle of the game formed the basis of hit games like “Boom”. But what's the point? The set, like any board game, has a set of cards with tasks that need to be explained to the team using gestures. The difficulty is that the cards often contain not simple words like “comb,” but entire expressions, complex geometric figures or songs. Such explanations will definitely not pass without laughter!

Card board games are suitable both at the very beginning of the fun, when the company is full of enthusiasm, and towards the end, when everyone has already had enough fun.

Game: Pull the string

First of all, organizing the game requires the presence of certain props. In this case, you will need two chairs (chairs, folding chairs) and a rope (about 5 meters). Only two players participate in the game at a time.

We place the indicated chairs opposite each other, with their backs turned. We tie the rope to the legs. The essence of the game is as follows: two players who take a place on the chairs run to the opponent’s place on command. The first one who managed to reach him sits down and sharply pulls the chair towards himself in order to knock it away from the enemy. You can stretch out the run from chair to chair by giving the command to run, and then after waiting a little, give the command to take the chair. The fastest one wins!

Game: ride the ball

For this game you also need a ball, but this time two. It is advisable that both are well inflated and not too soft, like children's rubber balls.

The essence of the game is as follows: two teams of two people gather. Each team is given a ball. On command, players place their feet on the ball and begin to roll it. Each participant is supported from behind by a second team member. Whoever gets the ball to the finish line the fastest wins!

Game: three fat men

To get started you will need:

• armchair (chair, folding chair);
• scotch;
• matches;
• inflated balloons (3 pieces).

We secure balloons to the participant’s bellies with tape. To make it more comical, it is fashionable to pull a jacket over the balls to create real bellies.

Do not attach it to a naked body! It's better if you use the tape on a T-shirt that you won't mind. On top of everything else, it won’t be painful to remove the tape from the fabric when it can damage the skin.

The presenter scatters matches on the ground. On command, the “fat people” begin to actively collect them, not forgetting about their stomach. It shouldn't burst! The host soon stops the game and the one who retains his belly and collects the most matches wins.

Game: air volleyball

Almost everything is like in real volleyball, only instead of a net there is a rope, and instead of a ball there are a bunch of balloons.

We stretch a rope like a volleyball net between tree trunks. Participants are divided into two equal teams. Four or five balloons are launched onto an improvised field. Objective: fight off all enemy balls! Whoever's ball touches the ground loses.

Game: Balloon Adventures

In this game you will be able to test both your speed and accuracy.

To get started you will need:

• 8 plastic cups (they should all be the same size);
• water;
• ping pong balls (8 pieces);
• saucer.

To begin, we line up two rows of four cups. For the first and second player. We fill the glasses with water almost to the brim, it is important that the water level is the same. We place a saucer behind the glasses, into which we also pour a little water.

The participants' task is to move the ball from glass to cup, and then to the saucer, using their breath. Along the way, the ball should not jump out, fall or fly through the cup and saucer. If this happens, then the player starts the ball's path from the beginning. You need to blow out all four of your balloons faster than your opponent.

Game: guess the participant

As many as five people take part in this exciting game: three girls and two guys. It’s good if the participants have known each other for a long time - it will be much more interesting. When recruiting participants, the presenter hides from the others in advance that he is also choosing a second guy.

The first young man is blindfolded. In order to confuse the player, you can spin him in place. Then one of the girls is replaced by a guy. A blindfolded player must determine by touch (you can touch no higher than the knees) who is in front of him. Those who are being guessed cannot talk, answer questions or make other sounds that could give them away. To prevent the guy from being immediately declassified, you can wear claws or similar clothes to those of the girl he replaced.

Game: Steeplechase

A truly active running game that will excite even the laziest members of the group!

You will need:

• 8 plastic bottles;
• two sticks;
• any alcohol;

Before we start, we build in obstacle courses. On each lane we must place three bottles with a distance of a meter between each other. After the bottles, you need to install a strong stick in the ground around which the participants will run.

So, the presenter, along with mugs and alcohol, takes a place at the end of the obstacle course. On command, players take off, run around the bottle like a snake and drink half a large glass of alcohol. As soon as the glass is empty, the participants take the stick with one hand and run around it ten times, and then return to the other participants through the obstacle course, trying not to touch the bottles.

Game: more cones

This game is perfect for the whole company if the vacation spot is a forest or there are spruce and pine trees nearby. In this case, no props are needed, only the speed and attentiveness of the participants.

You can split into teams or play only for yourself. The presenter sets the time in a minute or less. Within a set period of time, participants must collect as many cones as possible and return to base.

To make it convenient for all players to keep track of time, instead of the loud counting of the presenters, you can play a song. But the speakers of regular phones are unlikely to be suitable for this, so it is better to use portable speakers or those in the car.

Game: join us

For the game you will need pre-prepared pieces of paper with body parts written on them. The main parts of the body can be written repeatedly, but it is worth indicating only the visible ones and those that a person can attach to another participant. For example, if you write “eye”, then it will be problematic to touch another player with the eye.

Next, all participants draw out two pieces of paper for themselves. When all body parts have been distributed, people line up in a line or in a circle. All that remains is to attach to the partner with those body parts indicated on the pieces of paper. The result can be a very interesting and funny picture!

Game: productions

It is worth preparing pieces of paper in advance with famous pairs of characters indicated on them. These can be heroes of fairy tales, cartoons, books, games and TV series.

When compiling a list, be guided not by your own tastes, but by the popularity of the selected characters. It is important that everyone present knows the characters at least a little.

For example: Tom and Jerry, Nyusha and Barash, Father Frost and Snow Maiden, Wolf and Hare, etc. Later, when you announce the game, distribute the pieces of paper to the people who were previously divided into pairs. Give them a little time to prepare the skit (while the participants are preparing, you can play something else).

When the participants are ready, they must take turns speaking in front of the company, which must guess who their friends are and what fairy tale, TV series or book they are from.

Game: collect more

To start, you will need a ball. Which one is not too important, but it is still better to avoid basketball ones. The fact is that they are quite heavy, and during the game you may have to catch the ball with your head more than once! In addition to the ball, you will need a set of some items that the participant will collect. These could be playing cards, matches or cubes.

Before starting the game, we draw a circle with a radius of approximately one meter. We put the items in a circle that the player will collect and the game can begin! The participant stands in the center, throws the ball above him and while it falls down, the player must manage to collect as many objects as possible. Moreover, you need to collect them, hold them in your hands, and preferably catch the ball with your hands. The one who holds the most items wins!

Game: tell your story

All participants must be divided in advance by gender: into a team of men and a team of women. If there are fewer guys or girls, then it's okay. Quantity in this case does not solve anything.

Both teams are given pieces of paper and pens on which they write their opinion about the opposing team. Afterwards, everything written is placed in separate containers (for example, a box, deep saucer, etc.). Now one participant from each team comes out in turn and draws out a piece of paper. His task is to compose a sentence from the words written on the sheet. There is no need to finish or interrupt the thought, because the next participant continues the story you started, but using another piece of paper. The result can be a completely funny or absurd story!

The list of outdoor activities that are suitable for a company of as many cheerful adults can be continued for a very long time, but the most famous and entertaining ones have already been named. Some of the above will definitely be suitable for your holiday!
