All players stand in a circle, one from the other at arm's length. A circle is drawn in front of their socks. The driver and his defender are selected. They both go to the middle of the circle. The players' task is to hit the driver with the ball, but his defender prevents this.
At the signal, the players begin tossing the ball to each other. Seizing the moment, someone tries to hit the driver. The driver, escaping from the ball, runs, jumps, dodges the ball, and the defender, protecting the driver, tries to catch the ball, throws it away with his arms, legs, and whole body. If he still fails to defend and the ball hits the driver, then they both change places with the one who hit the driver and whom he chooses as his defender. The game starts again.
A hit by the ball to any part of the body other than the head is counted, even if the ball bounced off an object, the floor (ground), or a defender. But players must remember: when throwing the ball at the driver, it is prohibited to go beyond the circle; such a throw does not count.
Game "12 notes"
A variation of the children's game "Gift Hunt", but requires some preparation and time. Ideal for an outdoor picnic with a large group. Those present form several teams. Their task is to find “treasures” as quickly as possible - a box of beer or a delicious cake. The organizers must prepare 12 notes, in each one it is written where the next one is located. But the main difference is that some of the notes are hidden, and some are located in special “exchange points”. The team will receive a note in this way...
Game "People's Ball"
A Bulgarian game, but it is also played in other countries of the Balkan Peninsula and Central Europe.
Two teams of 10 - 15 people each play on a volleyball court without a net. Each is located on its own half of the court, and one player is sent to the opponent’s half. The ball is put into play by throwing. If a player from one team catches it, he throws it to the other team's half, trying to hit the opposing player. The player who was hit by the ball is eliminated from the game. If he catches the ball on the fly, then the return throw tries to hit the opponent. This changes the order of throws, and the number of dropouts increases. The team that eliminates all opponents wins. The role of the player standing behind is to pick up and pass to his team the ball that has rolled out of bounds. This player can mislead the enemy. He can throw a ball thrown to him across the court to his partners for a more successful throw. However, he cannot beat the enemy himself.
Game "Balandvarak"
Tajik folk game
The game is popular among teenagers. They usually play on the hillside. Participants line up in pairs in a column. At the command of the leader, each pair takes turns jumping up the hill, tightly connecting both legs. Those who manage to cover a greater distance by jumping in this position win.
The jumpers stand at a certain distance from each other. The winners in pairs can compete with each other. The game develops physically, hardens, develops patience and endurance.
Game “Knock down the potatoes (Knock down the bulb)”
In Belarus, games-exercises for strength, dexterity, intelligence,
Ability to act in the most unusual conditions. Here is one of these game tests for teenagers and young men aged 14-18 years and older.
A round log is placed on two stumps (indoors they can be replaced by stools and chairs), located at a distance of 1.5-2 m. The player sits in the middle of the log, cross-legged, facing towards one of the stumps (stools). It is not allowed to rest your knees on the log and move on it...
Game "Hide and Seek"
This game is played in all Arab countries.
They play on a site overgrown with bushes and trees. In the middle of it, if possible, near a thick tree, turning to face it, the player of the driving team counts loudly to one hundred.
Players from the other team hide. The search begins, and if the driver finds the hidden one, he must run to the tree and touch it. The discovered player also runs to the tree, trying to touch it before the driver. If he does not have time to do this, he is eliminated from the game. If the driver is not dexterous enough, another team member takes his place. So the number of players on both teams gradually decreases. The team that manages to drive out all opponents wins.
The driver can be knocked out not only by the one who was discovered, but also by anyone hiding who manages to run to the tree faster. Only one player from the driving team participates in the game, the rest are outside the playing area and wait until their turn comes to join the game.
Push-Pull Game
This is what they called the running competition. But the running is unusual, in pairs. The players stand with their backs to each other and holding hands. They start from one landmark to another, located at a distance of 10 m, then return back. An indispensable condition of the game is not to tear your backs away from each other. One player runs and pulls a partner behind him, who tries to move in sync with the first. Many people fail to run within the conditions. The winner is the pair that covers the distance there and back faster than others. The running time is recorded.
The game trains dexterity, synchronization of movements, sense of rhythm and patience.
Game "Sahreoba"
A favorite and widespread game in Georgia. It develops agility and physical endurance. and also disciplines.
The game requires 10 sticks up to 1 m long of any diameter. The sticks are laid out on a flat area in parallel, at a distance of 50 cm. A flat stone is placed along a row of sticks on both sides at a distance of 50 cm from the sticks. The player must do several exercises.
1. From the first stone you need to jump on one leg to the second stone, going around the wooden sticks lying on the right...
It was so hot over the weekend that I didn’t want to go outside at all. And dragging yourself to the beach is simply torture when the thermometer is +35. Therefore, I stocked up on magazines and newspapers at the kiosk and, drinking a cold cola, relaxed my brain with non-straining reading material, including women’s reading.
Bears - boom!
It’s more interesting if no one (or the majority) in the company knows about the rules of the game. The presenter asks the participants to stand in a line, he himself becomes the first and declares: “You are bears. The bears go for a walk (everyone is waddling in place), the bears are tired - they sat down to rest (the “bears” squat down), rested - they went again. They walked, walked - tired, sat down. You can repeat this, providing the story with details in the style of “the sun was shining, the birds were singing,” etc. When everyone relaxes and sits down again, the leader says: “Bears - boom!” and lightly pushes the next one with his shoulder. player. The bears fall one after another like dominoes. Everyone laughs in surprise: indeed, the bears - boom!
Who's going north?
Here it’s the same as in “Bears” - the fewer participants know the rules of the game, the better. Ideally, only the presenter knows them. He suggests going on an expedition to the north. To do this you need to get together. Everyone should offer the things necessary for the trip. Everyone sits in a circle, the move is passed from participant to participant with some object (spoon, fork, pencil - whatever). The leader (he knows the rules and always goes north) begins. He says: “I’m going north and taking with me... a warm scarf,” and passes the move to his neighbor. When passing a move (that is, some object), he says the word “please” and adds “And I’m going north.” The next player, who does not know the rules (usually there are no those who guess right away), says “I’m going north and taking with me... warm gloves” and silently passes the move. The presenter states: “And he is NOT going north.” Actually, the point of the game is that when passing the turn, the players must say the magic word “please”, and everyone, as a rule, focuses on the list of things and cannot understand the logic why the leader takes some on the expedition and not others. After some time, those who managed to guess what was going on try to push the others to the right idea, and begin to take with them to the north all sorts of things that are extremely “useful” for this journey.
- swimsuits or tanning products, while saying the word “please” louder. You can also give a hint by saying that only polite and well-mannered people go north. The game ends when everyone has guessed how to go north.
Maternity hospital
All participants are divided into pairs: M and F. Outside the pair - only the leader. All men in the game are mothers of newborns, all women are fathers. The game simulates a situation where mothers in a room behind a closed window try to tell fathers standing on the street details about the baby. Accordingly, they cannot hear each other - they can only use gestures. The pair members sit opposite each other. The presenter hands out pieces of paper to the “mothers” on which details are written, for example, they need to show with facial expressions and gestures that “this is a boy, and his ears are just like your grandfather’s” (it is advisable that each pair have tasks of equal complexity in the display). The presenter gives the “fathers” pens and blank pieces of paper. On command, the couples begin the game: the male “mother” tries to convey to his partner what the presenter wrote to him. The woman “father” writes down on her piece of paper what she saw and understood. Time is limited - for example, a minute. The winner is the couple whose what the woman “father” saw is closer to the leader’s task.
Snake
The presenter approaches each player and says: “I am a snake, snake, snake... I crawl, crawl, crawl... Do you want to be my tail?” He answers: “I want!” - and stands behind him, clasping the “snake’s head” around the waist. So they approach everyone else and ask them to join in unison. When the snake gets long and no one else wants to be the tail, the snake says: “I am a hungry snake, I will bite my own tail!” - and tries to catch his tail. Players need to hold on tightly to each other and keep the tail away from the head. Those who broke away leave the game, and the snake continues to catch its tail.
You can make the game more difficult: when new players join the tail, they must crawl on all fours between the legs of the snake, starting from its head. This game has a rule - you can't refuse. If the company is large, you can gather two snakes, each trying to catch the tail of the other. The winning snake “eats” the losing one - it crawls between the winners’ legs.
Swap places!
The company sits on chairs (there is one less of them than the participants) in a circle, the leader is in the center, he announces: “Change places, everyone who has...” - he can name anything, from “who has blue eyes” to “who has had more than ten lovers” or “who loves blondes (blondes)”, “who doesn’t wear thongs”... The longer the game, the more frank the questions. The named players (blue-eyed or blonde lovers) must stand up and quickly move to one of the vacant seats. If the selection criterion also applies to the presenter, he also takes part in the search for a seat, then the one who did not have enough chair becomes the new presenter. If only one person stands up, then he will continue to lead the game, and the old leader sits in his place. To prevent people from staying too long, you can periodically command: “Change places, everyone who is in a good mood right now!”
Ministry of Railways
This requires one “dunno” victim. The rules are explained to him: he asks questions to the players in a circle, the players answer him “yes” or “no”. The task of the “dunno” is to guess who is hiding under the abbreviation MPS. Everyone stands in a circle, “Dunno” (he is in the center) begins to ask questions. The trick is that when answering the question “Is this a man?”, one player can say “yes”, and the next one can say “no” (because MPS is “My right neighbor”, and each player standing in the circle says about your neighbor on the right). Usually the “know-nothing” guesses who the MPS is when he starts asking the same question in a circle. But this happens, as a rule, on the fifteenth lap. There is also a variation on the same theme: a sticker is glued to the “victim’s” forehead, on which any character is written - be it Alexander Pushkin, Pinocchio, or even the victim herself. You can mock him even more and call the victim a pumpkin or swine flu. The victim’s goal is to receive “yes/no” answers to his questions and guess as quickly as possible what is written on her forehead.
Hanging pear
Prank game. You need to choose an artistic couple - preferably a girl and a young man, but not necessarily. The two presenters separate them and explain the task. One is told that he will have to go into the room, take a chair and pretend to screw in a light bulb. A partner or partner will interfere with him in every possible way. The goal of the player with the light bulb is to use gestures to explain to his friend that he is doing the right thing and soon there will be light in the room. You can't talk. They explain to the second that the first player is portraying a man who has decided to hang himself, and the task is to wordlessly dissuade him from taking an insane step. While they are being instructed, the others are also explained what the essence of the matter is, and when the participants in the game enter the room, the spectators are already having fun.
Snowflakes
Everyone in the company is given a “snowflake” - a small ball of cotton wool. Participants loosen their “snowflakes”, at the same time launch them into the air and begin to blow from below so that the fleeces remain in the air as long as possible. The winner is the one whose snowflake falls to the floor last.
Noah's Ark
The presenter writes in advance the names of the animals on pieces of paper (each creature has a pair: two hares, two giraffes, two elephants...), folds the pieces of paper and puts them in a hat. Each participant draws out “their purpose,” and the presenter announces that now they need to find their pair, but they cannot make sounds or speak. You need to use facial expressions and gestures to portray your animal and look for “one like you.” The first couple to reunite wins. You can think of characteristic animals like a hare (show your ears - and you’re done), but it’s more interesting to come up with something less recognizable, such as a hippopotamus or a lynx.
Broken fax
Two teams play. Everyone runs after each other, everyone gets a piece of paper and a pencil. Last in both rows, the presenter shows a simple drawing; the participants must draw the same on their sheet, lying on the back of the player standing in front, who, in turn, reproduces the drawing according to his feelings. The team whose final drawing is more similar to the original wins.
Cavalrymen
The more pairs, the more interesting. It is necessary that each couple has a guy (even better if it is a guy and a girl). The cavalryman puts on a cap or Panama hat and sits on the stove (on the back) of the “horse”. The goal is to rip off as many hats as possible from the “enemies” without losing yours.
You will need a couple dozen balls of two colors and a lot of space. Each participant ties an inflated balloon to his leg (so that the ball lies on the ground, or better yet, drags a little). The task is to destroy all the opponents' balls with kicks and protect your own. The player whose ball is tapped is eliminated. The one with the last whole ball left wins.
Kangaroo
This prank game is reminiscent of the popular “crocodile” (or “association” - when players are divided into two teams, a “victim” is selected from the group of opponents, a word or phrase, the name of a movie or book is given to her, and she needs to convey this information to her with facial expressions and gestures. to let them guess). But here everything is simpler.
The presenter, calling one player aside, asks him to show the kangaroo. The catch is that absolutely everyone knows what this word is. Their task is to make whatever ridiculous guesses they want, just don’t say “kangaroo.” Usually the game goes on for a long time: the unfortunate kangaroo points at his belly and jumps in front of the spectators dying with laughter, who suggest in bewilderment: “a pregnant hare... a limping dinosaur...” The main thing is to take pity on the unfortunate kangaroo in time, who is waving his arms in despair from the incompetence of his friends and shouts: “I’m showing it again for the idiots!” - and stop.
Snails
You need to draw two lines on the ground at a distance of two to three meters. The players' task is to get from the start to the finish line as slowly as possible, but in no case stopping or changing the direction of movement. The slowest snail wins.
Words words
A game for a quiet, rainy evening in the country. There are several variations.
First:
No more than three minutes are given for everything. In this short time, participants must write a short story in which all words (including prepositions) must begin with the same letter.
Second: The word chosen is not very long, but not very short either. It must necessarily be a singular noun. The same three, or maybe five minutes are given. During this time, only from the letters present in the word (if there is only one “N” in the word, then the word cannot be used with a double “N”), you need to make as many words as possible (also nouns and also in the singular). The one with the most words wins.
Third: almost man-made "Erudite". A word is invented, and prefixes and suffixes are added to it to form new words. You can assign both horizontally and vertically. Strictly one letter per player.
Princess on the Pea
The participants of the game stand facing the audience, with a chair behind each. The leader places a spoon, a spool of thread or a small cube on it and covers it with a thin pillow. Players take turns sitting on a chair and trying to guess what the object is under them. Time - 2 minutes, no more. Another variation: walnuts (well, almost peas?) are placed on the chair. In this case, the player tries to determine how many there are - this option is closest to the fairy tale.

Thank you all for your attention, love
Everyone loves outdoor recreation. Fresh air, delicious food and fun entertainment will make a simple picnic a great time. If everything is clear with the first two points, then you will have to work hard with the third. How to choose and organize leisure time correctly in order to have fun and not get discouraged? This is what we will talk about now.
In order to properly organize your vacation and choose suitable entertainment, you need to decide how exactly you want to spend your time. There are many different variations of outdoor recreation.
The first option is the simplest - relaxation without entertainment. It is enough to organize a picnic and just enjoy the surrounding beauty and clean air. But only after all the goodies have been eaten and there is nothing to do - the vacation will quickly become dull and will not bring bright impressions. However, such a pastime cannot be ruled out - after all, everyone has different tastes and sometimes you just want to relax.
The second option is suitable for lovers of active recreation. It is enough to dilute your leisure time in nature with various sports games. You can play volleyball, football or badminton.
The third option is somewhat unusual, but very interesting. Various quests, paintball and airsoft will give you unforgettable emotions and vivid impressions.
The fourth option is the most popular and interesting. Diversify your leisure time with competitions. Absolutely everyone can take part. It is enough to prepare an exciting program.
It is the last option that we will talk about in more detail. Below are some interesting outdoor competitions for adults that will be a pleasant addition to your picnic.
Competition "Guess Who"
Perfect for a noisy and cheerful company. The competition goes like this. One of the guys needs to be blindfolded. Girls are hardly lined up. The guy must determine who is in front of him using any means available. Girls, in turn, are not allowed to say a word or do anything that could give them away.
All the guys are blindfolded in turn, and the girls are swapped. After all participants have voiced their answers, the number of points for each player is calculated and the winner is determined.
Then we do the opposite - we blindfold the girls.
Competition "Beer checkers"
To carry it out, you need to draw a kind of chessboard with chalk or paint on the asphalt or grass. In each cell you need to place a small glass of beer (for the more daring, you can put cans or bottles of beer). Of course, the packaging should be different.
The players take on a real game of checkers, where the checkers themselves are beer. And when one of the players hits the checker, he must drink its contents as a reward. You cannot refuse your prize - this is perceived as a personal insult.
DIY tent game
This game is perfect for playing somewhere in the forest. All those present must be divided into two teams and given the task of building a real hut. The time should not be stretched, but it is better to limit it to 20-30 minutes. The hut must have strong walls and a roof. A prerequisite is that all team members must fit into it. You can use any materials - sticks, leaves... The team whose hut will be more stable, stronger and can accommodate all participants will win.
“Pass the bag” relay race
Good old-fashioned relay races can also be a great way to have fun.
You need to prepare a small bag of peas or sand. At the venue, draw two parallel lines at a distance of 5-7 meters from each other. Or simply designate them conditionally, where two trees can become the starting point. Next, you need to divide everyone present into 2 teams. Players from both teams line up next to each other near one of the lines. The first participant is placed on his head. Players from both teams start at the same time. The participant must walk with this small bag on his head to the second line, sit down, turn around three times around his axis, return to the team and pass the bag to the next player. If the bag falls during the task, the player returns to the team and performs all the actions again. The team whose members complete the task first will win.
It is interesting to conduct a relay race when everyone present has had a little drink and it will be more difficult to complete the task.
Game "Bring it whole"
For this fun game, you need to divide everyone present into teams of 2 people. One of them will be a cook, and the other a courier. Roles can be assigned by drawing lots. The chef's task is simple. He needs to stand with a conventional frying pan (or a real one) and wait for the courier. But for a courier the task is more difficult. He is given a spoon and a raw egg. The task is to bring the egg, lying in a spoon, which is clamped in the teeth, intact to the cook. The distance between team members must be at least 5 meters. But the more, the better. The team whose courier brings the whole egg first will win. 
Game "Time to Jump"
This entertainment is analogous to jumping over a fire. But if jumping over fire is quite dangerous, then jumping over a “log” is very simple, and most importantly, safe for health. For the role of a log, you can choose a person who is fast asleep, who will definitely be found not far from strong drinks. Just remember that you definitely need to jump over the newly made “log” an even number of times, because otherwise it won’t grow J
The main thing in the game is to have time to capture each participant during the jump.
Raffle game “Let’s get into formation together”
Before the start, one leader is selected. Next, all players line up in one line with their backs to the leader. The presenter must walk along all the participants and pat each one on the back or shoulder with his palm. The number of times a person claps is the serial number of a person. After everyone has received their share of claps, the participants must line up in a row, following their serial number. At the same time, no one has the right to utter a word. The whole catch is that the presenter can give the same number of claps to some participants.
It looks very funny when all the participants, winking, stamping their feet and whistling, try to create a formation. So be sure to film it - it will be interesting for the players to watch themselves later.
Game "Pass it to someone else"
You can play it during a meal, when guests are already starting to get a little bored. All participants sit in a circle. One of the players is given a button. He places it on his index finger. Next, he must pass it to the next player without touching this button with his hands - only from finger to finger. And so on in a circle. The participant who was unable to pass the button is eliminated. The game continues until one winner is determined.
At first glance, the game is simple, but in reality it is quite difficult to pass the button. Especially in a noisy, cheerful company that, with whistles and shouts, tries to knock down the players and distract them.
Game "Who's missing?"
It is best to play when the company is large and people in it are unfamiliar. But even when everyone knows each other well, this will not make the game any less interesting. One of the participants is blindfolded. At this time, one of those present is hiding. Next, the person who was blindfolded has their eyes untied. He must guess which of the participants is missing, and when he succeeds, he must also describe what he was wearing. You can make the task more difficult. While guessing the missing guest, everyone else should not stand still, but constantly move in order to distract the guessing player.
Game "Matches"
A box of regular matches is poured onto the table. The player must take one match at a time without touching the other. As soon as a match, other than the one the player is pulling, shakes, the right to draw the matches passes to another participant. And so on until there is nothing left from a handful of matches. The one who ultimately draws the most matches wins.
Competition "On the contrary"
One leader is selected. Everyone else lines up in a row. The point is to do the opposite. The leader performs a command, and the participants must repeat it exactly the opposite way. For example, if the leader lifts his left leg up, you should lower your right leg down. The participant who makes a mistake becomes the leader. But he will not be able to become a participant again. This is a knockout competition. The winner is the one who does not make a single mistake.
Game "Unusual Figure"
This game is a variation of the well-known charades. One person is selected to be the judge. All those present are divided into teams of two. One of the team members must draw a figure on the back of another participant with his finger. You can make the figure simply imaginary, or you can glue a regular piece of paper on which to draw the figure with a pen, and then simply trace its contours with your finger on the player’s back. Reporting what is depicted is strictly prohibited. Next, the participant must dance, or simply step forward, to depict this figure. All other players must guess what was depicted on the participant’s back. The team whose figure is recognized by the majority of those present wins.
Game "Can you?"
This game also does not require any additional preparation. You just need to take an orange or an apple. Participants must pass it around in a circle, but only their shoulders and chin are allowed to be used. Taking the edible “ball” with your hands is strictly prohibited. The one who loses the “ball” or breaks the rules (touches it with his hands) is eliminated from the game. This continues until there are two winners left.
Game "Spin the Bottle"
You will need a regular bottle and several small sheets of paper. It is desirable that the number of leaves be slightly greater than the total number of all participants. Each player writes 1-2 tasks on a piece of paper, rolls it up and puts it in a bottle. Tasks should be interesting and funny. For example, climb a tree stump and depict an animal drawn in a picture or depict your friend who is present here drunk, etc. Next, spin the bottle and the one to whom it will point must take out one task and complete it.
Game "Interesting Dance"
It is advisable that as many people as possible take part. Everyone is divided into pairs, preferably a guy and a girl. Each couple is given a newspaper. They must stand on it so as not to go beyond the limits. The music turns on (you can use your phone) and the couples start dancing. Then the newspaper is folded in half, the music is turned on again and the couples continue to dance. The couple who speaks outside the newspaper leaves the competition. Play tracks with different rhythms.
Game "Lucky"
Suitable for a company that loves strong drinks. The participant is blindfolded. Take three stacks or plastic cups. Vodka is poured into two of them, and ordinary water into the third. The player's task is to drink the contents of one glass and wash it down with another. It’s quite funny to watch these, because not everyone is able to wash down water with vodka.
If you don’t have enough time to prepare, but you want to entertain your friends and family with something more than just a competition or a game, a quest will be an excellent solution.
12 ready-made various tasks will help you spend an hour and a half with fun and excitement. See more details here.

As you know, a healthy lifestyle and active recreation are now in fashion. In general, fashion is not a constant thing: new trends keep coming and coming from the West, plus we ourselves come up with new features and different trends in all areas of our lives. But today I would like to dwell on the topic of outdoor games and similar entertainment. You may have noticed that St. Petersburg is now overwhelmed by a wave of quest rooms, various anti-cafes and other establishments where communication, fun and various kinds of intellectual events are promoted. So we decided not to lag behind...
Agree, summer is a long-awaited time: sunbathing, cool lake water, barbecue and, of course, active recreation with friends... As you know, the Sunny Beach recreation center strongly promotes active recreation and has already acquired its own rope park, climbing wall, shooting range, paintball area in addition to a sports field and recreational boats. And today we want to invite you to get comfortable with your friends and play, for example, mafia, twister, uno, as well as other games for large groups that will brighten up your leisure time!
What outdoor games are suitable for a large and fun company?
A team psychological role-playing game with a detective plot.
Required: cards, masks, presenter
Players: 8-15 people (classic version)
Twister is a fun outdoor game for active people who are ready to socialize and move around. It is a playing field with 4 rows of colored circles. It is on it that all the actions of this game take place. A great way to entertain the whole group while relaxing in nature.
- Crocodile
We all know this favorite game from childhood. Let's remember the rules: Players are divided into teams. Team I deliberates and thinks of a word (or phrase, or phrase) for the representative of team II. The player’s task is to show words with facial expressions and gestures; in no case should you use speech or point to surrounding objects. The players' task is to guess the hidden word by asking questions that can be answered “yes” or “no.” Then, if the team guesses the word, they guess a new word for their opponents. We play until we get bored. You can play without dividing into teams - the rules are the same, everyone just guesses the word. And the one who shows at the end of the round makes a word for the player who guessed it.
- Contact
The minimum number of players is three.
Rules: The presenter thinks of a word (noun) and tells the players the first letter of this word. The players’ task is to guess the given word: all words to determine the riddle must begin with the hidden letter (as they guess, a series of letters). How to guess? For example, the presenter thought of the word “raspberry” and told you the letter “M”. You and your colleagues ask different leading questions with “yes” or “no” answers. Let’s say the word “mosaic” comes to your mind. You ask the presenter: “Is this a thing that needs to be assembled from pieces”? Another participant, for example, guessed what word you thought of. He tells you “Contact”, together you count to 5 and say the word in unison. During the time that you count, the presenter must guess your word. If the presenter did not guess correctly and did not interrupt you with the phrase “no, this is not a mosaic,” then he names the next letter. And you are already coming up with words that begin, in this example, with “ma.” If he got ahead of you and your thought, then you guess further. Also, it very often happens that you and your comrade-in-arms thought of different words, then the “contact” failed, and the game continues. Thus, your task is to outwit the presenter and find out the letters. And the presenter’s task is to outwit you and not let you “finish.” The game continues until the leader's word is guessed, then the one who guessed takes the baton.
- Volleyball
Number of players: 6 main players, up to 14 participants in total (there are always six on the field, the rest are in reserve).
The goal of the game is to launch the ball over the net so that it touches the opponent's court and prevent the same attempt from the opposing team. First serve – a player is chosen by lot, then the serve is played until the ball touches the opponent’s court, or flies out of the field (out) or until the players make an error. The ball must be served from behind the field (9 meters from the net). If the opposing team wins, then the right to serve passes to them. And the players of the first team change one position clockwise. You cannot grab the ball, you can only hit it. The ball cannot be blocked when serving. The game is played until the score is 25. If a tie score of 24-24 is achieved, then the game is played until the score is two points.
- Water volleyball
The rules are basically the same as in regular volleyball, only all the action takes place in the water and without a net :-). 5 players are allowed per team and the score is kept to 14 points.
- Forest quest
You and your friends can have a real competition in the forest. The goal is to find the treasure. You can entrust the development of the quest to us, or appoint a host and think through the game scenario yourself.
Rules: Divide into two teams and come up with a name. Each team receives a map with a route and a final point - a treasure. The task is to use the map and overcome obstacles to find the treasure.
- Gift hunt
Another way to have an active and fun time. You must divide into teams. Each team writes 12 notes, some of which are hidden in the forest, and some of which are given to designated exchange points. Each note is a hint that will lead your team to the goal. At exchange points you can receive a note by overcoming some obstacle that the caretaker will assign to you (assigned by lot). Before the game starts, keepers must hide “gifts” in different places - snacks, sweets, fruits, drinks, etc. The team that finds the most gifts wins.
- Hat
You can split into teams or pairs. The game is very simple but very fun.
All participants are given small pieces of paper (any number) on which they must write words or phrases. The pieces of paper are folded and placed in a special attribute, for example, a hat. But you can use whatever comes to hand, as long as the pieces of paper fit. Lots are cast to choose the first pair or team. Decide among yourselves who will guess and who will guess the word. So, a time is noted (1 minute), during which you must explain as many words as possible to the team or your partner. The main rule is that you cannot name the word itself and words with the same root. The game lasts until the riddle papers run out. We collect the guessed papers and count them. The team with the most guessed tasks wins.
- Game from the movie "Inglourious Basterds"
The rules are very simple. Stickers are taken (papers with an adhesive side), a noun is written on them (in principle, any: animate or inanimate, animal or human, etc.) and glued to the forehead of one of the participants. All players should have similar pieces of paper, BUT you should not know what is written on your piece of paper. Task: by asking leading questions with the answer option “yes” or “no”, guess your “character”. One question is asked per circle, clockwise.
- Football player
Another outdoor game for lovers of fun and outdoor activities. Of course, you can’t mark a football field in the forest, and it’s not necessary.) A game for those who are tired of the usual volleyball and badminton, and who are not afraid to look funny... An alternative option for playing football for your company will be very useful. We choose a “football player” and blindfold him. We put the ball in front of him and spin the player himself. The "football player's" task is to hit the ball while blindfolded. The task, frankly speaking, is not an easy one.))) You can choose the first football player using a draw. And as a bonus, the winner chooses the next “football player”.
- Game "Catching a Mammoth"
A game for those who like to fool around. Using lots, we choose a player who will be the highlight of the program, namely a mammoth. The remaining participants must imagine themselves in the role of primitive hunters. Your task is to catch your “upcoming dinner”. You need to catch a mammoth using a net, which the “tribe” can use as a blanket or tablecloth. The main rule is that you cannot omit the “network”; a member of the “tribe” who has become separated from his comrades leaves the game.
- Game "Hinge"
And now we have to remember school, because if my memory serves me right, then this fun game is from there.)) So, we will need: players (any number) and balloons (according to the number of players). We inflate the balloons together and tie one balloon to the participant’s leg at a height of fifteen centimeters from the ground. It is necessary to mark the area where the game will take place. You can draw a circle on the ground, beyond which you cannot go (as an option). Together we stand in this circle. Your task is to burst as many of your opponents’ balloons as possible, and protect yours from them.
And this is only a small part of the games that you can play with a group outdoors! Join the fun!
« One, two, three, four, five, I'm going to look for you“How often these words were heard in childhood! Cheerful running around the yard, happy smiles and enthusiasm are commonplace. It is almost impossible to imagine an adult running around blindfolded, unless we are talking about fun games and! When going on a picnic, to the forest, or to barbecue, adults forget about their seriousness for several hours and plunge headlong into games and entertainment in nature.
True, for everything to be truly fun, you should prepare for such events, so to speak, stock up on ideas. It’s one thing to play the usual ball, boring cards or the famous “crocodile”; it’s a completely different thing to think through games in nature in advance for the company, which will amuse and bring pleasure to all picnic participants, without exception. Here are some cute ideas:
1. Brave all-terrain vehicle.
If the people gathered in nature do not know each other very well, then the entertainment part should start with this fun, which will bring the participants closer together. An obstacle course is created, everyone is divided into pairs, each pair is tied together with one leg (that is, the left leg of one participant is tied to the right leg of the other), thus creating a three-legged clumsy monster that must overcome obstacles at speed. The fastest couple wins a prize!
2. Wet business.
A game where there are no winners and no losers, only happy and wet ones! All you need is water pistols and a willingness to get caught in the water. Brave participants run from each other, hide behind trees and actively shoot at the victim, leaving no dry spot on him. By the way, there is a budget option for such outdoor entertainment for a company; replace the pistols with plastic bottles with holes in the caps and voila!
3. Greedy and honest guest.
To play, you only need a roll of toilet paper. At some point, when the guests have concentrated in one place, the organizer of the outing says that there is only one roll of toilet paper left and invites everyone to tear off the required amount in reserve. Of course, the majority will try not to deprive themselves! This is where the secret will be revealed - 2-3 greedy owners of the longest fragments will be identified and, as punishment, each of them will have to honestly answer 5 questions from the guests!
4. Undercover.
This is another option for playing in nature for a company - a test of intelligence. Several participants are invited, each is given a blanket in which they need to completely wrap themselves, with only their head sticking out. Next, the presenter asks each participant to give him one unnecessary thing. This is where the fun begins - the participants take off everything “unnecessary”, from jewelry to underwear, but it never occurs to anyone to take off the unnecessary bedspread! Whoever guesses first gets a prize!
5. On the horses!
You can complement fun games in nature with agility exercises. Participants are divided into pairs, one sits astride the other and a piece of paper with a long and complex word is attached to the “rider’s” back. On command, pairs must chase other riders and read the words on their backs, while dodging to prevent their opponents from reading their word. It usually turns out fun, fussy and loud!
Now we can say with confidence that surprising your guests with something like this will not be difficult for you, because you already know how to entertain a company in nature! All that remains is to gather good friends and go on a picnic one sunny day, the main thing is not to forget the props and a good mood!
