Having tied the rope with one end to a tree growing on the shore, it is necessary to go around the lake with a rope stretched over the water and tie the other end of the rope to the same tree. As a result, a double rope will be stretched between the trees for crossing to the island.

It would be more accurate to say that the “psychic” himself will come to visit. And the presenter must prepare a soundtrack for this competition with fragments of popular songs, as well as his own funny comments to them. Now the psychic approaches one of the guests and says that he will now read his thoughts. He makes manipulations with his hands, and then a phonogram begins to sound, for example: “Oh my God, what a man, I want a son from him ..” Those present are delighted, and the magician goes to the next guest.

Competition "The most-most"

The leader chooses a player. They give him a small mirror. His assignment is to publicly give ten compliments to himself while looking in the mirror. The player must not laugh, must not repeat himself. The host and other players interfere: they try to make you laugh by commenting on the words of the speaker ...

Alarm
Meeting guests at the entrance, each is given a note indicating the task and the time when it needs to be completed. It will be funny when at one in the morning someone for no reason sings “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”, and at two - one of the guests will begin to recite a verse!

Where to invest money?
The host calls two pairs (in each pair, a man and a woman): “Now you will try to open a whole network of banks as quickly as possible, investing only one banknote in each. Get initial contributions! (Gives money to couples candy wrappers). , lapels, and all the secluded places. Try to clear your deposits as quickly as possible, open as many banks as possible. Get ready .... Let's start!". The facilitator helps the pairs to complete the task, after one minute the facilitator sums up the results. Presenter: "How many banknotes do you have left? And you? Great! All the money is invested in the business! Well done! And now I will ask the women to quickly withdraw all deposits, and since only the one who deposited it and no one else can withdraw the deposit in the bank , You will remove your contribution blindfolded so as not to see other people's contributions." (The women are blindfolded and at this time the men are changed). At the command of the host, women with passion withdraw deposits, not suspecting anything.

Show your walk

Cards with tasks are drawn out. You need to show the gait:

  • fashion model walking in high heels on a cobblestone pavement

Comic test "Who is who"

As entertainment at the table, you can offer men joke test. For the test, different ranks are written on the cards, and then each man, without looking, pulls out one card for himself. Examples of inscriptions on the cards are given in additional materials.

It is even more interesting not just to make inscriptions, but to cut out from magazines and paste pictures corresponding to the inscriptions.

During the preparation of cards, it is necessary to be extremely correct and make sure that the invented inscriptions do not hurt anyone's dignity and offend no one.

Examples of inscriptions:
- Intellectual.
- Casanova.
- Ideal husband.
- Secret agent.
- Strongest.
- Psychic.
- Mage and wizard.
- Commander.
- Lord.
- Erudite.
- The most temperamental.
- The best fighter.
- The most dexterous.
- A professional in his field.

In a mixed team (where both men and women are present), it is not recommended to conduct a "female" version of this game. However, in a company consisting of only women, such entertainment will take place with a bang.

Actors (Real Actors Competition)

As you know, a real actor should be able to get used to any role, even if he has to play a dinosaur or an alien (this often happens in movies). This is a good opportunity to check how your guests get used to the role. The host invites guests to portray:
- boiling kettle
- hot iron
- telephone,
- coffee grinder
- alarm,
- Cuckoo-clock,
- pierced balloon,
- wormy apple
- floor mat
- cactus,
- hanger,
- withered flowers.

The guest, who will get used to the role faster and better, is declared the best actor and receives a prize. However, it is quite difficult to portray inanimate objects. Tamada can offer another version of this game. For example, ask contestants to draw:
- anxious cat
- an angry piglet,
- sad penguin,
- offended rabbit,
- gloomy eagle.
You can offer and depict a sculpture:
- sports victim
- the goalkeeper who caught the puck with his teeth,
- a weightlifter who did not manage to dodge the barbell in time,
- a parachutist who forgot what to pull,
- a gymnast who did not leave the third pirouette on time,
- a skier who did not have time to escape from an avalanche.

Vodka glass contest

For this corporate competition, we need 5-6 real tough men. On command, the participants drink the contents of the glasses offered to them. One of them contains vodka, the other contains water. Men should not show with emotions what was in their glass. The one of the guests who guesses which of the participants drank vodka becomes the winner of this competition. And the participants are entitled to a glass of vodka for courage.

take care of your nose

A couple or several couples are selected (then the competition is held for a while). An ordinary sheet of paper is placed between the partners' faces. Those, in turn, hold him with their foreheads (it's easy). Now, on command, they try to make a hole in the sheet (this is already more difficult). The host must warn the participants that tearing the sheet is strictly prohibited - a fine is assigned for this. Tip: It's easiest to pierce a leaf with your tongue.

Of course, you can try to bite through the leaf, but for some reason, the partner’s nose always comes across with the leaf.

FAITHFUL HAND

The host invites everyone and offers the following task: take the newspaper by the corner with your right hand and, on command, quickly gather the entire newspaper into a fist. Who is faster - won.

CAP ON CAP

Glue one large cap and several small ones - preferably multi-colored. Small caps are hung on a strong thread. The players take turns putting on a large cap and blindfolding. It is necessary to turn three times around its axis, sit down and, straightening up, get a big cap into a small one.

salute

The host invites the players to salute with their right hand, and at the same time stretch the left hand forward with a protruding thumb, while saying: "In!". Then clap your hands and do the same, but quickly changing hands.

Guess the melody

Do you remember such a program, it was also hosted by Valdis Pelsh? This is a great competition for holidays or parties! And you can do it in the following way. Prepare in advance cards with the names (and maybe the first lines) of the most common songs in your company. The first person draws a card and starts humming the melody of the song. The rest of the participants must guess what the song is and sing at least a line from it. The guesser takes the card and becomes the leader (pulls the next card and sings a melody). Whoever earns wins the largest number cards. This is a very funny competition, because not everyone has a good ear and voice, and not everyone can remember the lyrics.

Nose

The host asks the contestants to put an empty matchbox on their nose. It is necessary, solely with the help of facial expressions, without helping with your hands, to remove the boxes.

Scariest Face Contest

The essence of this competition is simple: participants must portray the most terrible face, using any means at hand is allowed. The operator shoots the face with a camera, the jury then looks through all the pictures and chooses the winner. An indispensable condition - the photographer should not be very drunk. The funniest thing is to look at the pictures again in a day or two.

Fortune telling as a joke on the main event of the New Year

It is necessary to prepare gizmos that will mean events. For example: a car - the purchase of a vehicle, a box of matches - a hike, a dolphin - a trip to the sea, a pyramid - building your own mansion, a scarf - an acquaintance, a ring - an offer, and so on. Don't forget something unreal. For example, a rocket could mean a trip to Mars, and a red pen with a white cap could mean meeting a vampire. It depends on the mood of the assembled society. Now lay out all the items in front of the audience and ask them to choose any to your taste, without explaining the purpose of the operation. When everyone determines what he likes, start predicting. It is desirable that there be more objects than people gathered. Yes, and they can come up with the most incredible characteristics. This is a joke trick!

Force of gravity

The player sits on a chair: the back is straight, does not lean against the back, the legs are bent at the knees at an angle of ninety degrees. Then the player must get up from the chair without changing his position, without moving his legs to the chair, without tilting the body forward. It is very difficult to do this, but it is possible.

"FROM A TO Z"

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: Any.

PREPARE IN ADVANCE: Knowledge of the alphabet.

ESSENCE: The game is simple: Starting with "A" and going alphabetically, everyone comes up with a congratulation on "his" letter. The author of the funniest phrase wins.

PROMPT: Do not skip the letters G, Zh, Y, b, Y. It will be fun. Ysche how!

Comic fortune-telling on a figure in New Year 2015

This competition is more suitable for a company of women or girls who are always concerned about their figure. You need to prepare small envelopes or boxes of the same size. Put an image of animals or small toys inside. Then everyone who wants to try their luck is invited to choose a prediction. It can be formulated as follows: “The figure and dignity of which animal will I receive in the coming year?”. For more “jokes of humor”, it is better to put unusual animals (mammoths, pterodactyls), unless, of course, you are afraid of the revenge of your girlfriends.

American psychologist

The facilitator distributes paper and pencils to the players (5-8 people) and starts asking questions, having previously explained that the answer should be as detailed as possible.
A list of questions
1. What do you associate the concept of "forest" with?
2. What do you associate the concept of "sea" with?
3. What do you associate the concept of "cats" with?
4. What do you associate the concept of "horse" with?
After that, the answers are collected and begin to be read out with an indication of the author. The host applies the following mappings. According to American psychologists, the forest is associated with life, the sea with love, cats with women, horses with men. The guests' opinions about life, love, men and women are the most amusing!
