Contests for adults outdoors in winter. Outdoor games for a fun company of adults. New Year's feast: games under the tree
A birthday, a successful deal, a red date on the calendar, or just the first Saturday of the week - it’s not difficult to find a reason to “wave” with friends somewhere outside the city and organize a barbecue with everything attached to it. It is much more difficult to stage another picnic in such a way that none of those invited to this celebration of life would have to regret after a stupidly spent day off. Fun competitions in nature for the company can become a "highlight" of spending time together outside the stone jungle.
The main thing is to choose the right entertainment, taking into account the interests, age, degree of acquaintance and emancipation of the participants. After all, there are different contests: harmless and cheerful and balancing on the verge between humor and insult, intellectual and requiring maximum dexterity and skill, universal and intended for a company that is not too sober, to put it mildly. Below you will find several competitions that have been tested in practice by more than one composition of participants and usually do not cause anything but friendly and friendly laughter.
"Hot - cold"
While the company is located in a clearing, several people usually do all the necessary preparations for collecting brushwood, kindling a fire and other subtleties, while the rest frankly get under their feet. The announcement that sounded at this moment that a fair amount of a snack or a case of beer was hidden by intruders in a secluded place will make them cheer up - the holiday is in danger of failure - and rush in search of the loss. The organizer of the search directs the detectives with clues “cold!”, “Warmer!”, “Hot!”. As a rule, everything is located at the very moment when the preparations for a meal in the open air are finished.
"Whale"
The number of participants for this competition is completely unlimited - the more, the merrier. Everyone stands in a circle at arm's length from each other and join hands (I immediately recall the round dance that everyone used to dance around the Christmas tree). The host whispers in the ear of each player the names of two representatives of the animal world and explains the rules of the game: when he shouts out the name of an animal, the participant to whom it has already been secretly announced from the rest must quickly sit down, while the "neighbors" on the right and left are obliged to prevent him.
All this is done very quickly, so as not to let the participants take a breath. The whole "trick" is that by calling animals to each player, the presenter exercises in ingenuity by only 50% - in the first word, invariably calling the whale the second. For example, if 7 participants play, the following pairs of words can be whispered to them: hare - whale, jaguar - whale, bear - whale, rat - whale, dog - whale, wolverine - whale, kangaroo - whale.
After a couple of minutes, when everyone is already squatting to their heart’s content, the host suddenly exclaims: “Keith!” as a result, participants who tried to sit down at once inevitably find themselves on the floor, laughing at their zeal. Such a competition in nature for a company of any caliber (be it young people who have not had time to acquire life partners, married couples with schoolchildren or just work colleagues) goes with a bang even without a preliminary “warm-up”.
"Diver"
When the company goes to nature in the warm season, flippers and a pair of binoculars may well be found in the arsenal of the most prudent comrades. In this case, you can invite everyone to participate in the competition for the title of the best diver.
Volunteers put on flippers and are instructed to overcome a certain distance, looking through binoculars (and from the back). Participants, and even more so spectators, are guaranteed an unforgettable experience.
"Football"
Football is an exciting game. Even for girls. Especially if you play it by slightly different rules.
To begin with, two teams are formed, the gates are marked - everything is as usual. But then events take an unexpected turn. In each team, the players are divided into pairs, each pair becomes a shoulder to each other, and ... the right leg of one player is tied to the left leg of the other.
The goal of each team, as in regular football, is to score the ball into the "enemy" goal. But goalkeepers here may not even be needed, it is almost impossible to score a ball without that. Felting of the whole company on the ground (and even better - on the snow) is provided.
"Knight Tournament"
An example of an active competition in nature for an energetic and cheerful company, in which, in addition to lovely ladies, there are also several gentlemen, can be a tournament in miniature. It will require an even number of representatives of the stronger sex (at least 4). The facilitator invites the participants to divide into two groups - warm and cold. Say, the first is for those who value the warmth of a devoted horse, and the second is for those who like the cold exhaled by weapons and knightly armor.
The "knights", dividing into groups, do not yet suspect what a surprise is in store for them. Those who chose the warmth of the horses will have to portray these same horses, and those who preferred the “cold” will have to become their riders.
And now the queen of the tournament drops her handkerchief from her high hand - the knightly tournament starts. The task of each "horseman" is to push the enemy off the horse. Fell to the ground - lost. And the winner and his horse will be rewarded from the hands of the Beautiful Lady (the first pieces of barbecue, a glass of wine, a cake - whatever).
"Swamp"
This competition also does not require any special preparations and equipment, except for a few pieces of cardboard. A certain area is indicated on the ground (not too large), the boundaries can be marked with dry branches, pebbles or empty bottles (do not forget to remove them only later). This is a swamp. Participants must cross it as quickly as possible, stepping from bump to bump. The role of bumps will be played in the hands of each player by 2 pieces of cardboard, which must be shifted in front of you and moved, stepping on them and trying not to fall into the "swamp".
In general, competitions can be different. It is only important to think about the "cultural program" in advance, so as not to invent entertainment at the very last moment. And then any fun - from playing volleyball or tug of war to running in bags and playing blind man's buff - will give everyone sincere pleasure, making you look forward to a new opportunity to gather in the same place and in the same composition.
Elena Terentyeva
Everyone can play these games - both old and young. It is even better if the participants are of different ages - adults will be able to keep the children busy, and the children will not let the older generation get bored.
auto racing
Necessary props - a pair of children's tricycles. The players, by the number of "cars", line up at the starting line. At the command of the leader, they need to travel a given distance as quickly as possible and return back. The rules are simple and unpretentious, but general fun and laughter at adult uncles or aunties riding children's bikes is guaranteed!
self-portrait
On a sheet of whatman paper, two cuts for hands are made. Participants take each of their sheets, put their hands through the slots and draw a portrait with a brush without looking. Whoever's "masterpiece" turned out more successfully - takes the prize.
Ah, potatoes!
The game can be played at a birthday, anniversary, the hero of the occasion also participates in it.
A certain number of potato tubers (5-7 pieces) are placed on the chair and covered with a cloth or paper (both should be quite dense). All this is done so that the birthday man does not see.
After that, they invite the hero of the occasion and offer him to sit on this chair, fidget and determine how many potato tubers are under it.
All the way around
Remember the fairy tale about how the wife, in defiance of her husband, did the opposite? The leader will have to come forward and do some exercise, and you will need to do the opposite. If the leader raises his hand, you must lower it; if he spreads his palms, you fold them; he will wave his hand quickly from right to left, and you will slowly wave it from left to right. Whoever makes a mistake becomes the leader.
Banana
Boys hold one end of a banana in their mouth (preferably the one that is attached to the bunch). Girls should first peel and then eat this banana without using their hands. The one who did it faster wins.
piggy bank
The players are divided into two teams.
Each is given a handful of change (the more the better). At a distance of about 4-5 meters from the players, some kind of container is placed (for example, a three-liter glass jar). Players are invited to transfer coins into a jar, holding them between their legs and overcoming the distance separating them from the coveted "piggy bank". The winner is the one with fewer coins scattered on the floor.
My second dad
Several guys are invited. They are invited to test themselves in the role of women in an "interesting position". The host attaches large inflatable balls to them with adhesive tape at the level of the abdomen. Half a box of matches is scattered in front of each player. The task of the players is to collect as many matches from the floor as possible during the allotted time, not forgetting about their “stomach”. Whoever burst the balloon - he lost.
tickets
The players stand in two circles, the outer one should contain more players. To the music, both circles move in different directions. The music has ended - the players of the outer circle must capture the player from the inner one. This is his ticket. Whoever did not get a ticket is considered a “hare” and performs some kind of deed.
Twins
Two people stand side by side. The left leg of one player is tied to the right leg of another player, the torso at the waist are tied with straps. There should be several such pairs. Purpose of the game: acting with two different hands, one player with the right, the other with the left, perform various tasks for speed.
boxing match
Before the start of the competition, the host calls two real men who are ready for anything for the sake of the lady of the heart. The ladies of the heart are there to exert a beneficial psychological influence on their knights. Cavaliers put on boxing gloves, the rest of the guests form a symbolic boxing ring around the boxer. The leader's task is to escalate the situation as much as possible, suggest which muscles are best to stretch, even ask to have short fights with an imaginary opponent, in general, everything is like in a real ring. After the physical and moral preparations are completed, the knights go to the center of the ring and greet each other. The host, who is also a judge, recalls the rules: do not hit below the belt, do not leave bruises, fight to first blood, etc. After that, the host gives the fighters the same candy, preferably caramel (they are more difficult to unfold, especially when they are stuck together), and asks everyone for their lady of the heart to unwrap this candy as soon as possible without removing boxing gloves. The one who completes the task before the opponent wins.
Fear of heights
The game requires two stronger guys and a few not very overweight volunteers (preferably female). Volunteers are asked to go out the door and let in one at a time. The person who enters is put on a chair, blindfolded and informed that now the chair will be raised, but there is no need to be afraid. In order not to be scared, a person stands in front of the person standing on a chair and allows you to put your hands on your head - to maintain balance. The essence of the game is that on the command “Raise!” muscular guys very slowly and carefully raise the chair literally by 1-2 cm, and the person on whose head the hands of the person standing on the chair lie slowly and evenly squats. This creates the effect of raising the chair a few meters up. When the chair is raised by 2 cm, and the assistant squats down so that the hands of the person standing on the chair no longer reach his head, the leader shouts loudly: “Jump!” It is desirable that there are no sharp, hard and brittle objects near the chair, you can also insure someone jumping from a chair (after all, he is sure that he is at a height of several meters).
barber
This competition is recommended to be held on Valentine's Day for a couple in love. The young man will be the assistant. The girl is invited to draw the features of her beloved on the balloon, and then shave him. To do this, they blindfold her, give her hands shaving foam, a shaving brush and a razor. The balloon is held upright by an assistant. The task of the girl is to show tenderness, sensitivity, skill and care when shaving the “beloved person”, try to apply the foam correctly and in the right place and shave him gently (remove the foam, which will mean an even and smooth shave), without damaging the ball.
pin(Game for adults only!)
They take safety pins with a clasp (an arbitrary number, usually approximately according to the number of players), blindfold everyone except the leader, then the leader clings these pins to the participants (arbitrarily - everything can be for one person, it can be for different), after which the participants try find them side by side. Moreover, if a person knows that he has a pin on him (for example, he felt how it was clung to him), then he is obliged to remain silent (you can’t look for pins on yourself). Since often the pins cling to the cuffs of the sleeves, on the back of the clothes, on socks, etc., the process of finding them is usually quite fun.
Who is the smartest?
Arrange the figurines on the floor. Everyone walks in a circle to the music behind the leader and on the whistle, or when the music has stopped, they must grab the figure. Anyone who doesn't get it is out of the game. The number of figures is reduced by one each time.
Throw a ball
The ball is inflated. Everyone sits in a circle and throws the ball to each other. At the whistle of the host, the game stops. The prize is given to the one who threw the ball last, and not the one who has the ball in his hands. Therefore, everyone tries to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible, and the game is very lively, fun.
Get an apple
The game requires a large basin of water. Several apples are thrown into the basin, and then the player kneels in front of the basin, holding his hands behind his back, and tries to catch the apple with his teeth and get it out of the water.
Bite off an apple
Apples are tied by cuttings and hung. Participants approach “their” apple and try to bite it, holding their hands behind their backs. It's hard to do this.
Find a place
Chairs are placed in a row, the seats alternately in different directions. The driver takes a long stick and begins to bypass those sitting on chairs. If near someone he hits the floor with a stick, this player should get up from his chair and follow the driver. So the leader walks around the chairs, knocking here and there, and now a whole retinue follows him. The driver begins to move away from the chairs, walks in circles, like a snake; the rest repeat after him. Suddenly, at an unexpected moment for everyone, the driver knocks twice on the floor. This is the signal for everyone to take their seats immediately. And this is now not so easy, because the chairs look in different directions. The driver himself tries to take a place one of the first. Now the one who did not get a place leads.
In the swamp
Two participants are given two sheets of paper. They must go through the "swamp" along the "bumps" - sheets of paper. You need to put a sheet on the floor, stand on it with both feet, and put the other sheet in front of you. Step over to another sheet, turn around, take the first sheet again and put it in front of you. The winner is the one who first passes through the room and comes back.
Crush the opponent's ball
Two people are given one balloon each, which they tie to their left leg. The right foot must crush the opponent's ball.
Prize draw on the count of three
Two participants stand opposite each other - in front of them on a chair lies a prize. The host counts: one, two, three ... one hundred, one, two, three .... eleven, one, two, thirty ... twenty, etc. The winner is the one who is more attentive and takes the prize first when The host will say three.
No worse than a kangaroo
You need to run, or rather, jump a certain distance, holding a tennis ball or a matchbox between your knees. Time is recorded by a stopwatch. If the ball or box falls to the ground, the runner picks it up, knees it again and continues running. The one with the best time wins.
Bilbock
An old French game with a tied ball that is tossed and caught in a spoon. Take a thick thread or cord 40 cm long. Glue one end with adhesive tape to a table tennis ball, and the other to the bottom of a plastic cup or tie it to the handle of a plastic mug. Your bilbock is ready. Several people are playing.

Understand me
Participants of the game (at least 4 people) are divided into two teams. A "leading" team is assigned. The other team comes up with a word so that it is not heard by the opposing players. This word is reported "in the ear" to one of the representatives of the "leading" team. The goal of this participant in the game is to depict with gestures the meaning of the word communicated to him so that his team will name the hidden word. Using letters, pronouncing this word with lips without a voice (and, of course, with a voice), as well as pointing at an object called this word, is prohibited. If the team guessed the word, then it gets a point. Then the teams change places. In the next round, other representatives must speak from the teams, and so on, until everyone has performed. Of course, this game may not seem very funny, but if you give free rein to your imagination, you can come up with very “interesting” words: “vacuum cleaner”, “orgasm”, etc. In addition, of course, players are required to be relaxed and light, with sense of humor, attitude to fun.
Arrows of Cupid
You need a large slingshot (the size of an adult palm). Inflatable heart-shaped balloons are inflated slightly so that they fit into a slingshot. The “angel of love” must hit his chosen one with the “arrow of Cupid” in the heart, this rarely happens the first time, since the chosen one is at some distance. The places where the balls fall must be kissed. The game is played until "Cupid" hits the heart. It is especially interesting when several men armed with slingshots try to hit the heart of one chosen one.
paper dress
Two (or more) pairs are called. After an introductory conversation about fashion and fashion designers, each "tailor" is given ... a roll of toilet paper, from which he needs to make a dress for his "model". (The dress should be only made of paper. Tears, knots are allowed, but paper clips, pins and other foreign objects are prohibited). For some time (10-15-30 minutes) the couples are removed, after which the model returns in a new “outfit”. After evaluating the appearance of the dress, the jury invites couples to dance. How slowly and gracefully such a fragile work of the “tailor” falls apart! Whoever's dress falls apart last wins.
Zoo
A game for children of older preschool age, but at parties it goes with a bang. 7-8 people participate, everyone chooses an animal for himself and shows the others the characteristic movement of this animal. This is how "acquaintance" happens. After that, the host from the side selects the player who starts the game. That one must show “himself” and another “animal”, this “animal” shows itself and someone else, and so on until the moment someone makes a mistake, i.e., shows another “animal” incorrectly or shows a dropout. The one who makes the mistake is out. The game ends when two players remain.
Ball under the chin
Two teams are selected, which stand in two lines (in one - men, in the other - women) facing each other. The condition is that the players must keep the ball under their chin, during the transfer it is impossible to touch the ball with their hands in any case, while it is allowed to touch each other in any way, so as not to drop the ball.
Drop the egg
The couples stand with their backs to each other, slightly leaning forward. Between the backs (slightly lower) an egg is clamped. The task is to gently lower it to the floor. The pair with the egg left intact wins. The egg can be replaced with a rubber ball. In this case, the competition is won by the pair whose ball, having touched the floor, did not roll off to the side.
resourceful guests
Several couples are invited. Each participant in the game is blindfolded. Then several clothespins cling to different parts of the clothes. At the signal of the leader, you need to remove all clothespins from your partner or partner. The pair that completes the task faster wins the competition.
Cheerful broach
To play, you need to assemble two teams in which an equal number of men and women. They all stand in a line (man - woman - man - woman). Two tailors are chosen. Each of them receives a small wooden stick, into which a long woolen thread is threaded (it is better if it is twisted into a ball). At the signal of the leader, “sewing” begins. For men, the tailor threads threads through the trousers, and for women through the sleeves. The tailor who "sews" his team faster wins.
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 bill in each. Get your initial deposits! (Gives couples money-candy wrappers). Banks for your deposits can serve as pockets, lapels and all secluded places. Try to arrange your deposits as soon as possible, open as many banks as possible. Get ready, let's get started!" The facilitator helps the pairs to complete the task, after a minute the facilitator summarizes. Host: How many bills do you have left? And you? Great! All money is invested in the cause! Well done! And now I will ask the women to change places and withdraw the entire amount from the accounts as soon as possible. Open banks, withdraw money! Attention, let's get started! (Music sounds, women seek money from other people's partners).
Sniper
Belts are attached to the waist of the players, to which an apple is hung on a rope. A board with nails is placed in front of the players. It is necessary to "stab" (plant) an apple on a nail as soon as possible.
Get into the wallet
Several couples are involved. For ladies, a large fake purse is attached to the belt in front, for men - a large banknote. It is necessary, without touching the purse, bills and ropes on which they are attached to the belt, put the bill in the lady's purse.
Wild beach
The players get into pairs. The host invites everyone to the "wild beach", where dances are announced. The dancers are given records (one for men, three for women), "so that intimate places do not excite vacationers on the beach." Music sounds, dancing begins. During the dance, players need not to lose a single record, and for this they have to dance closely clinging to each other.
push up
The male participants in the game are put on a dark, non-translucent bandage over their eyes and are offered to push themselves off the floor as many times as possible. After the men have tried their hand, the host says that the floor is not very clean and suggests laying down paper (the bandages are not removed). These are strips of wallpaper on which silhouettes of naked women are depicted in life-size. Men are now performing the task, located above these silhouettes. After a while, the host removes the bandages and asks the players to continue. Fans count the number of push-ups, cheer with jokes and advice.
feed me
Guests are divided into pairs. Each pair contains a man and a woman. The task of each pair is to work together without the help of hands to unfold and eat the candy that the leader will give. The first couple to do so wins.
Feed your loved one
The guests are divided into pairs. Each contains a man and a woman. In front of each couple, a few meters away, there are plates of ice cream. The task of women is to take a spoon, scoop up ice cream and, taking the spoon by the stalk with your lips, carefully return to your partner and feed him without letting go of the spoon from your mouth. The first couple to eat ice cream wins.
Surprise
Guests stand or sit in a circle. To the music, they begin to transfer a fairly large box. As soon as the host stops the music, the guest who happened to have the box opens it slightly and, without looking, takes out the first item that comes across. According to the rules of the game, he must put on this item and wear it for a certain time. For example - half an hour or until the end of the holiday. As soon as the music resumes, the guests start passing the box around again to the next stop. In the box you can put a variety of items of clothing: from children's caps to huge specially tailored panties and bras.
Striptease-1
In secret from the culprit (or culprit) of the holiday, make a full-length silhouette of a human figure out of cardboard. Glue a photo of the birthday person (birthday girl) in place of the face. Put on this mannequin all possible items of clothing: from shorts to a hat. They can be both real and made of paper. Paper just pin to the mannequin. Then the host asks the guests questions about the hero of the day: when was he born, his favorite dish, etc. If the guest is mistaken, he must remove any item of clothing from the mannequin. The most intimate parts can be covered with green paper fig leaves. And, if you are sure that the birthday man will not be offended, you can write comic wishes on these leaves.
Striptease-2
The player is offered to cover himself with a blanket. It is reported that those around him thought of a piece of clothing that he is wearing, and offer him to guess what it is. For each wrong answer, the player must remove the named thing. The bottom line is that the correct answer is the veil. Naturally, such a game is "one-time" and newcomers are needed who should not see the performance of previous participants. For convenience, the bedspread can be held by someone else.
Loves? Does not love?
The game is a joke. They play in pairs - a girl and a boy. The girl takes a handkerchief and collects all the corners together. Then she offers the guy to take any corner, and she also takes one of the corners with the other hand. Everyone pulls a handkerchief towards him for a taken corner. If the handkerchief unfolds in a triangle, then the guy loves the girl and should kiss her. If the handkerchief does not turn around at an angle, then the guy does not love, and the girl continues to play with another.
kisses
The host calls two men and two women into the game. It is up to you to decide how best to distribute pairs of players - according to belonging to the same gender or the opposite. Then, blindfolding two participants, the host asks them questions, pointing to the one he wants to. “Tell me, where will we kiss? Here?". And he shows, for example, on the cheek (you can ears, lips, eyes, hands, etc.). The facilitator asks questions until the blindfolded participant says “Yes”. Then the facilitator asks: “How many times? So many?". And he shows on his fingers how many times, each time changing the combination, until the player says: "Yes." Well, and then, having untied the participant's eyes, they are forced to do what he agreed to - for example, kiss the man's knee eight times.
I love - I don't like
The host asks all the guests who stand in a circle to name what they like and what they don’t like about the neighbor on the right. For example: "I love the ear of my neighbor on the right and I don't like the shoulder." After everyone calls it, the host asks everyone to kiss what they like and bite what they don't like. A minute of stormy laughter is provided to you.
Kama Sutra
A square about 2.5x2.5 m in size is drawn and divided into 16 cells, indicated by numbers. Two people enter it, and the host calls each of them a part of the body (usually limited to five: head, arms, legs; variations are possible depending on the degree of intoxication) and the cell number. The player must move the body part to that location.
The leader must have a sense of humor, imagination and impartiality. The one who fails the next pose loses. When the people "disperse", 3-5 people enter the game.
Ladle lids
Several couples are involved. For ladies, lids from pots are attached to the belt in front, for men - a ladle. It is necessary, without touching the hands, to knock the ladles on the lids and make characteristic sounds.
Seekers
Players are given cards with certain letters. The task of the participants is to attach (and hold) all the cards to those parts of the body whose names begin with the indicated letters. The winner is the one who can place more and not drop.
Dressers
Male players are given thick winter gloves. Their task is to fasten as many buttons as possible on the shirt or robe that is worn over the clothes of their partner in the game.
On holidays, you can also use outdoor games of a sports nature (for example, "Running in bags" and many others). Such games develop endurance and physical qualities in a person. At every party, there are scorchers who can't wait to channel their power somewhere. For this, the games below are quite suitable. But they require a lot of free space. The best condition for such games is fresh air.
"Bag Run"
The game is played by teams with the same number of players. You will need two bags to play the game. Participants must climb into the bags and jump in them for a predetermined distance and back. The team that completes the task faster wins.
"Lelo"
This is a Georgian national game, the name of which is translated as "field". The task of the players is to run with the ball to the opponent's side, located on the other side of the field. Two teams take part in the game. The number of players can be up to 15 people. At the beginning of the game, the teams stand in a circle, and then the ball is tossed up, and the game begins. The ball is caught by one of the players and starts moving towards the opponent. The opponent can take the ball by any means, except for frankly rude ones.
"beaters"
Two teams take part in the game. The playing field is divided into two halves, which belong to the teams. One of the players comes to the side of his opponent and stands behind the whole team. He has to throw balls to his team, but he cannot kick himself. The task of the teams is to knock as many of their opponents off the court with the help of the ball. The team that eliminates all of their opponents wins.
"Defender"
Participants form a circle and, by drawing lots, determine who will be the defender and who will be the main one. The main and his defender stand in the middle of the formed circle. Participants begin to throw the ball to each other and try to knock out the main one. The task of the defender is to protect the main player from getting the ball into him. If this happens, the participant takes the place of the main one and can choose to defend himself or leave the former defender. And the game continues.
"Envelopes"
For this game, you need to choose a leader who will monitor the correct execution of tasks. Players are divided into several teams. Each team is given five envelopes in which tasks are written. For example: 1st task - sit down 50 times; The 2nd task is to tell a poem about birds, etc. In addition, the teams need to find the remaining five envelopes. To do this, you need to correctly complete the tasks. The team that completed all the tasks before the others is the winner. The winner will receive a prize in the form of a cake.
"Let's jump!"
Teams take part in the game. Each participant needs to jump on one leg to the post and back. Whoever completes the task faster wins. To complicate the task, you can arrange it next to a small hill. Then the participants will need to jump uphill and downhill.
"Punch through the wall!"
The game is played in winter when there is a lot of snow outside. From the snow erect a small wall in height and thickness. Participants will also need a stick about 0.5 m long. Each participant must throw his stick so that it breaks through the snowdrift.
"Tennis Balls and Tray"
The host forms two teams, each includes three participants, each is given one tennis ball. The first players (starters) are also given a tray. On command, the first players put the ball on the tray and quickly walk to the flag and back. Pass the tray to the next participant. He goes the same distance, but already with two balls, therefore, the third player - with three. The team that completes this task faster wins.
"Equilibrium"
To play the game, you will need two chairs installed at some distance from each other. A round large stick is placed on them, capable of supporting the weight of a person. On different sides of the chairs, apples in the form of a triangle are laid out on low stands. The participant sits in the middle of the stick, and holds another stick in his hands to maintain balance. The task of the participant is to knock the apples off the stands. If the participant loses his balance, then he can put a stick on the floor and support it. The winner is the participant who knocked down all the apples and stayed on the stick. If the participant knocked down all the apples, but could not resist, the result is not counted.
"Hide and Seek"
A lottery is used to select the participant who will drive. They close his eyes, put him facing the wall (playing place), and he begins to count up to 50. The remaining participants hide at this moment. After the driver has opened his eyes, the participants may not wait until they are found. The task of everyone is to run faster than the driver to the playing place. Whoever does not have time to do this will be the driver in the next game.
"Lids"
This game develops dexterity and the ability to calculate the blow. Before starting the game, you need to draw a circle and insert a stick in its middle. A plastic cover is placed on the stick. Players stand at a distance of 1.5 m from the stick and try to knock down the one that is on the stick with another cover. But it is necessary to shoot down so that it falls outside the drawn circle. Whoever succeeds gets 5 points. The one with the most points won.
"Ring"
The game develops the eye and dexterity of the participants in the game. To play, you will need sticks 0.5 m long and rings. If the game is played outdoors, then sticks are dug into the ground, if indoors, then they are fixed in a cross. The participants are divided into teams. The task of each team is to throw as many rings on the stick as possible. In the first stage, the distance between the thrower and the stick is 1 m, in the second stage - 2 m, in the third - 3 m. At the end of the three stages, the winning team is revealed.
"Stilts"
Two teams take part in the game. On the playing field, at a certain distance from each other, multi-colored rings are laid out. Players must stand on stilts and go through the playing field, getting into as many colored rings as possible.
"Two legs"
The game is played by couples. Each participant in a pair is tied with one leg and given the task of jumping to the flag and returning back. Couples are jumping, holding hands. The first couple to cross the finish line is considered the winner.
"Pillow Fight"
Participants sit on a log and try to knock down their opponent with a pillow blow. Whoever falls down is out of the fight.
"Cock-fights"
For the game, a circle with a diameter of 2 m is drawn. Two participants stand in the middle of the circle and, leaning on one leg, take the other by the heel. In this position, they try to push their opponent out of the circle. The use of hands is prohibited.
"Vice versa"
Participants stand in a line and repeat all the movements of the driver in front of them, exactly the opposite. The participant who makes a mistake changes places with the driver.
"Pushers"
In the game, one circle is drawn on the floor with a diameter of approximately 1.5 m, and inside it is a smaller circle. Participants stand around a large circle, hold hands and try to push their neighbor into the restricted area. The restricted area is the gap between the large and small circles. Participants can step into a small circle. Anyone who still stepped on the restricted area is out of the game.
"To pass and not to touch"
Players are divided into several teams. There are flags in front of each team, the participants must pass them with their eyes closed and not knock them down. When the first participants from each team start walking, the teams should prompt them in which direction to move. When teams simultaneously start prompting their players, none of them can figure out where to go.
"Lay Down the Sun"
The game is team-based. First, a circle is drawn at a certain distance from each team. Each player on the team receives a wand. And then, in turn, on two legs, you need to jump to the drawn circle and put your wand so that in the end the team folded the sun. The winner of the game is the team that completed the task before the rest.
"Shapes"
The game is played in teams. Team members hold hands with their eyes closed. The host asks the teams to draw various shapes, such as a circle, a square, etc. A team that incorrectly depicts a figure is eliminated from the game.
"Drag!"
Guys take part in the game. They are tied with a rope, but at a distance, and a prize is placed in front of each. Each young man must reach the prize and thereby win over his opponent to his side. The participant who takes the prize first wins.
You can also arrange tug-of-war. Participants are divided into teams and stand on both sides of the rope. On command, they take the rope in their hands and try to pull their rivals over the line drawn in advance. The strongest team wins.
Can be pulled without a rope. To do this, all team members line up and take each other by the waist. The first participants of such a “locomotive” from different teams join hands. On command, the participants pull the opponents to their side.
"Game of the Rings"
The game is played outdoors. At a distance from the participants, a stick is placed between the trees, and rings are attached to it. Participants put on stilts, reach the trees and try to collect the rings, while the rivals try to stop them. The one who collects the most rings is the winner.
You can also play football on stilts. Teams are formed, all participants stand on stilts and start playing football.
Players are divided into teams, each of them inflates balloons. Then the team lines up in a chain, pinching the balls between the back of the one in front and the chest of the one behind. Without touching with their hands, but only in this position, the caterpillar team must carry the balls to the finish line. If the ball fell out, it is allowed to pick it up and continue the path. The team that reaches the finish line first wins.
Primitive society
Nature is full of materials and objects from which you can make a tool. So, the company is transferred to a primitive society and each of the participants must come up with their own new, unique, universal tool for hunting and self-defense. Stones, sticks, leaves and everything else that only the guys will find in nature will help. Whoever gets the best and most powerful weapon will win.
Walk on the map
The leader draws up a certain number of cards in advance for each of the participants, depending on the area where the holiday will take place, marking the elements of the treasure with a cross and pictures - identification marks, such as a tree, a stone, and so on. For each of the participants must be the same distance and the same difficulty of the map. On the way, guests collect skewers, firewood, matches, tomatoes, pieces of meat in a bag. As a result, the treasures of all participants are collected together, and all the guests fry kebabs together, and a prize is awarded to the fastest searcher.
Whose traces are winding?
In advance, using the Internet and a printer, you need to find pictures of animal tracks and print them. Participants are divided into 2-3 teams and a chain of tracks (wolf, hare, fox, crow, and so on) is laid out in front of each team. Whose team will say “stop” faster and be able to name the correct sequence of tracks, they are the winner.
well-aimed slingshot
At a certain distance, tin cans are placed on a perch or a tree branch, about 5 pieces. For each of the participants, the cans are placed anew. Everyone takes turns shooting from a slingshot, making 5 shots. Whoever manages to knock down all the banks, he receives a prize.
Carpet plane
Participants are divided into two teams by an equal number of people. Each team is given a strong and durable bedding. The male gender takes the mat and takes one of the girls and women in turn to a certain place, for example, to a stone or a specific tree. The team that will carry one girl to their destination the fastest wins.
Skis help out in winter and summer
Participants are divided into several teams. The first participants on the “start” command put on skis and walk the distance to the target, for example, a tree, take off their skis and run back, pass the skis to the second participants, who put on the skis and repeat the same thing as the first participants. The team that finishes the fun ski run the fastest wins.
food supplies
Participants are divided into several teams and receive a task: to collect food supplies in their basket. Whoever fills his basket faster than the rest, he will win. You can collect berries, mushrooms, fruits. If you are not at all lucky in your search, you can get out with the help of fantasy, for example, pick chestnuts and say that roasted chestnuts are very tasty, or pick up a field bouquet and say that flower nectar fills you with strength.
stone mountain
Participants are divided into pairs, preferably w. +m. And at the command “started”, the couples begin to collect stones and build their mountain. For everything about everything, a certain time is given, for example, 5 or 10 minutes. Whoever gets the biggest and highest mountain during this time, he won. And the winning couple gets a prize.
Living ikebana
Each of the participants collects a bouquet or arranges ikebana in accordance with the season. Whoever gets the most beautiful and interesting composition wins. The winner can be determined by the applause of the other guests.
To be honest, it is quite difficult to hold such a holiday. Firstly, being a picnic, children least of all want to play in an organized way - everyone has their own interesting business. Secondly, the organization of a children's holiday in nature requires certain physical data. For example, a loud voice :-).
If you still decide to gather guests for a picnic and are planning an entertainment program without having the temperament of a clown and the skills of an experienced animator, use my selection of contests.
I chose only those games and competitions in nature that are easiest to organize (most of them can be held with the number of participants from 4 people).
So far, only 20 ideas, but I plan to add interesting outdoor contests to this article, so there will be many more over time!
Throwers and throwers 🙂
I like this competition for simplicity and objectivity in identifying the winner. It is easy to establish who hit the target more times.
Options:
- At a distance of 10 children's steps, hit the tree trunk with a cone. Each has, say, 10 attempts.
- Knock down any construction of dry twigs with a stick (let's call it "forest bast shoes").
- Put an empty pot (basin, bucket) at a distance of several steps. We compete in accuracy by throwing small rubber balls, toys or the same bumps there. If there is no empty container, just look for a hole in the ground.
- Tie a rope to a horizontal tree branch so that its end reaches the ground. We tie a small bag with a ball (cones, toys) to the lower end of the rope, if only it was some kind of harmless "weight". Players pick up a "weight" and move a few steps to the side. You need to shoot down objects that are at some distance from the center. Here is the drawing.
- Another version of the previous game. You need to choose a leader who will swing the “pendulum”, and things (bottles, juice boxes, sticks, pebbles, toys) need to be folded in the center. Players need to have time to run up and pick up the item before the “pendulum” returns.
- Make a fishing rod. Tie a rope with a weight at the end to a stick 1.5 - 2 meters. With this weight, you need to knock down small objects at a distance slightly greater than the length of the stick, swinging the rope.
Catching games
Bear
Lay out the toys, pots, bags, and items you brought for the picnic in the clearing. Plant a bear in the center of this composition, draw a line on the ground at a distance of 5-7 steps, behind which there will be a “house”. The host shouts: "The bear woke up!". Children must save property and put it behind the line, and the bear can only catch the one who has nothing in his hands (at the moment when the child returns for things from the safe line). The one who collects the most items wins. And the bear becomes the player who was in the paws of the bear.
Catchers "Short legs"
The participants of the game will need to catch up and run away with an empty plastic bottle sandwiched between their knees.
Paints
Players line up. The leader turns away and steps back 5 steps.
- Knock Knock?
- Who's there?
— I don't know myself.
- Why did you come?
- For paint.
— For what?
- For blue!
Everyone who has this color on their clothes holds on to this color with their hands and remains in place, the rest run away from the leader. The next one is driven by the one who was caught.
duels
Fight with balls
In nature, such a game will turn out fun. Tie small balls to the right ankle of the players (string no more than 30 cm). Only 2 players participate in the duel. Hands are not involved, they need to be clasped behind the back in a lock. The winner is the one who manages to burst the winner's balloon with his foot. To the one who won, a new opponent comes with a ball on his leg. This continues until one player remains with a whole ball on his leg.
Knight Tournament
If there is a relatively even and not thick log, you can fight with long thin balls. The winner must stand on a log.
Comic games
Game "Obstacle Train"
1 stage of the game.
Between the trees at a height of 30-40 cm, pull the rope in zigzags. All participants of the holiday get into the train one after another, holding on to the waist. To the music, the first player starts moving in small steps, choosing a difficult route. You need to step over the rope, go around the tree, and so on. It's just fun, especially if there are more than five participants.
Stage 2 of the game.
One of the players is taken aside and tightly blindfolded with a handkerchief. At this time, the rope must be removed, brought to the beginning of the route. And now the host tells you how to raise your leg, how many steps to go, where to turn. The player follows the commands, thinking that the rope has remained in place and diligently overcomes non-existent obstacles. Try it, it's fun!
Relays:
Shashlik
Most suitable for an autumn picnic, as fallen leaves are needed. As usual, we divide the children into teams. We collect the leaves in advance. Determine the distance for running (no more than 6-7 meters). At the end of the route, put a skewer for each team (a stick on which you need to string a sheet). The player runs, strings a piece of paper on a stick, returns to the team. The winner is the team that, of course, will have the most luxurious barbecue by the time the cheerful children's song ends.
Jerboa
The distance of 5-7 meters and back must be overcome by firmly holding the ball between the knees. At the same time, cones, nuts or small pebbles can be attributed to the “mink”. The winning team is again revealed by the end of the song.
ember
We divide the children into two teams. We collect small pebbles or cones according to the number of participants. Small juice boxes will do. It is necessary not only to run and put a piece of coal in the fire, but to move, tossing the object up slightly. It's an ember, it burns your hands! The team that puts down their fire the fastest wins.
Firefighters
Hot weather game. Each team member has empty disposable cups. Teams need to be built in a line, right side to the direction of movement.
The last player in line must have a full glass of water. On command, he pours water to his neighbor into an empty glass as carefully as possible, runs and becomes the first (always next to the previous participant). It is the turn of the one who now has a full glass of water. He also pours it to a neighbor. This is how you get to the target. The team with the most water left at the end of the relay wins.
On the mound
Everyone ran, tired. Sat on a log...
Time for sedentary games and competitions, which, by the way, are also very fun.
Conductor-tamer
The host divides the guests into groups (if there are few children, everyone gets a separate role). Let frogs, cows, dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, bees, sheep and so on appear on your holiday.
They will have to perform a song for the birthday boy to the melody " Happy Birthday to You. First, each sings a line. The conductor points with a baton, and...
Kwa-kva-kva-kva woof-woof
Oink-oink-oink-oink meow-meow
Quack-quack-quack-quack ju-ju-ju
Mu-mu-mu-mu beee-beee….
And now all together!
The main thing is that there are no other vacationers nearby, since the choir turns out to be very solemn :-).
The fairy tale came to life
We take the simplest children's fairy tale. All guests get roles. Those who lacked the main characters become trees, the sun, clouds, wind.
For the forest, "Masha and the Bear" is best suited. Just think about who you will give the role of hemp, because a bear will sit on it!
Crocodile on a picnic
One of the participants shows with gestures some object necessary in nature, the rest guess. Matches, firewood, barbecue meat, a thermos, a backpack and a pump look fun in such a pantomime.
