Number of players: any
Optional: bananas
Two teams are participating. One participant from the teams moves away at a distance of 5-7 m from the team and holds peeled bananas between their knees. Team members take turns running up to the participant with the "banana" and bite off a piece. And so on in turn until the banana runs out.
The team with the most bananas wins.

Defense - sports game

Number of players: any
Optional: mace, ball
In the center of a small circle, outlined on the ground or on the floor, a mace is placed. A defender stands near the circle, he has a ball in his hands. The rest of the participants of the game, holding hands, surround the defender with a wide ring. Then they lower their hands, one of the players receives the ball from the defender. Those standing in a circle throw the ball among themselves; seizing the opportunity, each player can throw the ball at the mace to knock it down. The defender covers the mace and hits the ball in any way, without hitting it, however, with his foot.

Long jump - sports game

Number of players: even
Extras: no
The first team member stands on the start line and makes a long jump from a place. After landing, he does not move from his place until the landing site is fixed by the judges (using a line drawn on the toes of the jumper's shoes). The next participant puts their feet right in front of the line, without stepping over it, and also makes a jump. Thus, the whole team makes one collective long jump. You must jump carefully and do not fall when landing - otherwise the result of the jump will be canceled.

Beam exercises - sports game

Number of players: any
Optional: log no longer than 1 meter
The participant stands on a log and, moving with his feet, rolls it along with him from the start to the finish and back. The one who reaches the finish line first wins.

Foot volleyball - outdoor game

Number of players: any
Extras: rope, balloon
The number of people depends on the size of the room.
The participants are divided into two teams. A rope is stretched across the room at a height of 0.5-1 m. A "field" is defined on both sides of the rope. Players sit down (lay down) with their feet forward. A balloon is used instead of a ball.
The rules of the game are the same as in regular volleyball.

Coin-2 - game for adults

Number of players: any
Extras: newspaper, coin, water
The game is played outdoors in the summer. A tube rolls out of the newspaper and is inserted into the players' pants in front, and a coin is placed on the forehead.
The facilitator explains to the players:
- The game is to get a coin into the tube from the forehead. And depending on which trouser leg the coin gets into, the game will develop further.
The players are given several training attempts (at this time, one of the spectators quietly brings a pot of water).
The host announces:
- That's it, the game starts.

Cymbals - a puzzle game

Number of players: any
Optional: coins

The participant is blindfolded and seated on a chair. The leader sticks two coins on the thumb and forefinger with wax and starts tapping to the right and left of the participant's head. The participant guesses where the sound is coming from. It's easy, but when they knock right in front of your face, it's very difficult to guess, even if you know the essence of the joke.

Climb under the table - game (competition) for adults

Number of players: any
Extras: no
When the grass is soft underfoot, it is a pleasure to crawl on it. All participants sit at the table, strictly put their elbows and do not peep down! One climbs under the table and takes off the participants' shoes, changes, etc.
The participants, meanwhile, watch each other's stern faces. Whoever laughs first, fulfills the desire that everyone has thought up in advance. Here you have room for imagination: approach strangers and offer them to buy kefir at a reduced price (while selflessly chattering that today is the international day of kefir), climb on the table and scream at the top of your lungs to the Martians to take you home, run all over the recreation center (of course, with unfamiliar vacationers) and yell "Robbing! Guard!"...

Decided to go to the cottage? Or just have a picnic with friends somewhere near the city? Or maybe barbecues are planned for the weekend? To relax in nature to the fullest, bring along not only delicious food and a variety of drinks, but also some fun games for the company!

Ready for a little physical activity?

It is worth the company of adults, very cultured and probably drinking people to be in nature, as they immediately want to feel like children again! Including being active. The patented tool is a fun and, importantly, compact Twister game. Spin the disc, see what you get, and strictly follow the instructions. Need to put your right foot on the yellow circle? Bet. And the left one is green? A little dexterity and you will succeed. So what if you have to lie down on another player a little - this is the most fun moment of the game!

How about throwing balls?

Do you know the word "Petanque"? Then your hands are already itching to take the ball in your hands and deftly throw it: so as to be closer to the target or, conversely, to throw the opponent's ball away from it. Never played? Then take my word for it: Petanque requires accuracy, like bowling, strategic thinking, like billiards, and captivates both children and adults in earnest. Don't want to believe? Then try it: a set of 6 balloons takes up very little space in the trunk, purchase and take it with you on a picnic!

Take a hit, you won't lose!

In any of the games where you need to explain the words to your partner, you can easily and with pleasure play both at home and in nature. Moreover, it is even better in open space: you can make noise without being embarrassed by your neighbors. Take a closer look at "Activity", "Elias" and "Crocodile" and "Boom" - any of these games will easily become the highlight of the party.

The civilians fall asleep...

Another great game for outdoor recreation with a large company is Mafia. After all, eight, ten, and even twenty players can play it with equal success. The more, the more fun. In this psychological game, civilians communicate during the day and try to figure out the mafia, and sleep at night while awake thugs choose their victims ... In addition, there are many other interesting roles in the set: for example, a commissioner, a doctor, a maniac, a lawyer and a werewolf. Plastic cards can be safely taken with you anywhere - they are difficult to get wet and almost impossible to tear or wrinkle.

A cheerful company in nature will always need an alcoholic card game "Ruff". It is easy to throw a small box into a glove compartment or a women's bag, and if necessary, take it out and have fun playing. In fact, this deck of cards is a set of fun tasks that you need to complete and, if you fail to cope, drink. There is even a bit of eroticism in there: for example, cards like "undress" and "swap clothes with a neighbor."

When a children's company gathers in a country house or in a private house, in a forest clearing or on the banks of a river, or, perhaps, in a cafe's summer area, adults will definitely face a problem: what is fun and exciting to do for children who are cut off from the usual gadgets? Especially if it is not just about friendly communication, but about a children's holiday, for example, a birthday or graduation from elementary school.

With the help of proven over the years, as well as modernized outdoor fun, you can so captivate children with spending time together that they will remember this holiday for a long time and passionately ask for a repeat!

We bring to your attention outdoor games and competitions for children for a holiday outdoors in summer or spring. Depending on the diversity of the children's company, the characteristics and interests of the little guests, the organizers can combine competitions from different groups.

Turn on your fantasy! Many contests can be adapted to the theme of your holiday. For example, catch-up games don't have to be called cat and mouse: maybe it's a team of puppies chasing the CATStrophy, a shark chasing little fish, or a witch chasing princesses!

For a number of games, you need simple props, most of which are always at hand, but it's better to take care of it in advance:

• rope;
• skittles or plastic bottles weighted with water, beans or peas;
• ball(s);
• Balloons;
• a piece of fabric, tulle, a long scarf;
• pebbles;
• chestnuts;
• vegetables and fruits;
• water pistols.

Don't forget to take care of the prizes and souvenirs for the young winners of the contests!

Combat Games

These contests are based on winning a certain duel. And even though the battle is jocular, victory is always victory, and it should be rewarded with a prize.

1. "Roosters". Children are divided into pairs. A balloon is tied to each child's ankle. Task: burst the opponent's ball by stepping on it, while not allowing your own to burst. During the game, be sure to turn on fun music.
2. "King of the Hill". Various variations of this popular game are possible. You can try to knock the "king" off the log with a long balloon or pillow. And if you don’t shoot down, but try to take off the huge crown and put it on yourself? Or compete to see who can keep his balance the longest while standing on the ball? Or holding a balloon on your fingertip?
3. Tournament. This noisy and fun game is a lot of fun for kids (and usually terrifies adults!) Give the kids pillowcases with a handful of feathers each, inflated balloons, paper water “bombs” and offer to defeat the opposing team! You can arrange water "Cossacks-robbers": if you hit your hand, you can no longer shoot with this hand, if you hit your leg, you will have to jump on one, well, if you hit your head, what to do, you are out! We need an arbiter here. But you can make a wonderfully fun battle between two armies! Let the children have fun, and adults with them along with them.
4. "Paparazzi". The game is based on the fact that modern children very often carry mobile phones with a built-in camera. Have a couple of participants take up "weapons". A “secret sign” is attached to the back of each - some bright picture, for example, a flower, an animal, a rainbow. The task is to take a picture of the opponent's sign faster than he takes a picture of yours while the music is playing. Can you imagine what a cheerful “dance” others will see? And the winner will be easily determined by the resulting pictures.

Games - runners and jumpers

1. Relays.

Children are very fond of taking turns running after various objects and performing intricate actions. Depending on the theme of the holiday and the availability of props, you can offer a variety of relay scenarios, creatively beating them and dividing the children into two or three teams:

• run around the skittles or bottles placed on the path and return;
• feed a bunny (hedgehog, dog...) with a carrot (apple, bone, etc.): at the finish line there is a toy that you need to wear a “treat” one at a time;
• running with a stick, on which you need to string a leaf at the finish line and return, and the next one will continue the general “barbecue”;
• joint running in various interesting variations: putting a hand on the shoulder of the one in front, holding the bent leg of the one standing behind, or simply “train”, joining one at a time;
• place children from different teams along the route, and the run begins with the transfer of a relay stick, ball or toy: the main thing is not to pass the stick to an opponent from the other team!

2. Various tags.

All sorts of variations on the basis of "catch-catch". You can catch someone who does not have clothes of a certain color (“colored tags”). You can attach the caught player to yourself and continue to catch the two of you, lengthening the chain.

And if you give two drivers a long scarf or rope, then it will be interesting to catch the rest, driving them into a “loop”.

“Snail tagging” can be funny - you will have to catch up with the crawling participants covered with cardboard boxes. Or “one-legged tags” - both the catcher and the runners jump on one leg!

3. "Airplanes".

Round “landing pads” are drawn with chalk or lined with ropes on the track, there are 1 less of them than the players. One of the participants is a dispatcher. He leads a chain of "planes", setting the route, commanding to wave the right or left wing, commenting that he is right on the course.

With the command "Non-flying weather!" you need to quickly take the landing site. The dispatcher is also trying to do it. Who did not have time - will become a dispatcher instead of a driver.

4. Modernized rubber bands.

Remember the childhood games of our mothers, when two stood holding a long elastic band on their ankles or knees, and the third jumped, following a certain “program”?

If you come up with interesting modern names for various ways of jumping, for example, “louboutins”, “robocars”, etc., you can try to captivate a small company, especially girls, with this game. Whoever went the furthest without stepping on the rubber band wins a prize.

5. "Olympics".

This game can be played using the same rubber bands as in the previous contest. Two participants hold a design in the form of a bow by the edges (an elastic band, the ends of which are tied in a circle, crosses).

With the exclamation of "Olympics!" the holders give the structure a certain position, and the rest of the participants must cross it without touching the elastic. You can try to jump over the top or crawl into the resulting hole. Who touched the gum - takes the place of one of the holders.

The winner of the "Olympiad" (the one who was able to climb the most times in a row, setting a new record) is entitled to a medal!

6. "Vysnozhka".

A variant of catch-up, in which it is impossible to catch someone who has stood on some hill with one or both legs. If the evader hangs on the horizontal bar, he is also out of the game!

In advance, you need to take care of the presence of benches, stumps, overturned buckets, etc. on the site.

7. "Cherished place".

Another game for those who do not want to let their mobile phones out of their hands. The game starts like normal hide and seek.

Equip a “cherished place”: for example, a bench under a lilac bush, where the driver counts until the players hide. Then he goes to look for everyone, and the players must try to sneak into the “cherished place” unnoticed and take a selfie there.

If the driver managed to find them earlier or manage to take a picture in the "cherished place", he won! And the footage will remain in memory.

Skill Games

These competition games are based on the ability to perform some difficult, uncomfortable and at the same time funny manipulations with various objects. The winner is the one who does it better and faster than the others. It is more fun when a large number of children participate in such games, but some can be played with two or three participants.

1.Did you hold it? Pass it on to your neighbor.

In different ways, you can pass each other, standing side by side, certain items, for example:

• ball under the chin;
• cardboard thermometer in the armpit;
• stick in the teeth;
• a soft toy, holding it with your knees;
• in pairs - to transfer the ball, sandwiched between the backs or between the foreheads.

2. "Hands off!"

Prepare small items, vegetables and fruits, just take care of their cleanliness. It can be apples, oranges, carrots, cucumbers, as well as balls, chestnuts, pencils, medium-sized toys and even leaves.

Lay them out on a table. The task of the children is to transfer the items, each to their own basket, located at some distance. You can wear it in any way, except using your fingers! Elbows, teeth, chin will be used in the course ... If you drop it - there will be 1 less item in your basket ... The one who has the most items in the basket at the end of the game will win.

3. "Porridge for chanterelles".

You can beat this contest with any convenient scenario, for little fans of Kolobok, this one is suitable: so that the Fox does not eat Kolobok, you need to feed her porridge!

The bowls for porridge are already on the stump, and the grits should be poured into them with a spoon, which the young "koloboks" will hold in their teeth. He scooped up cereal from a common bag - and carry it into your bowler hat! The prize will be given to the one whose fox will be the most well-fed.

4. "Flamingo".

The clearing will be a water surface, and barefoot children walking on the grass will be flamingos. To make it more interesting, you can distribute fake beaks or pink capes. Chestnuts are scattered across the clearing - these will be fish.

Flamingos should catch them - naturally, with bare feet! - and then take them and put them in the center of the clearing, where there will be a "nest".

5. Flight "Instrument".

This game is for older kids. Prepare an “obstacle course”: a rope that you will need to cross, skittles to bypass them, a bench that you need to climb over, etc.

In turn, each player is blindfolded, and he goes "on the instruments", that is, following the instructions of the others. You can allow a cheerful uproar when everyone will advise at the same time. Or add a note of order by leading the first player on their own and then announcing that everyone who just cleared the lane becomes the dispatcher.

And if you quietly remove some of the obstacles, and the player diligently overcomes the free path, it will be even funnier!

6. "Inconvenient Treat".

Everyone knows how difficult it is to eat an apple hanging by a thread. And try to get a candy out of a bowl of flour with your teeth or drink water from a plastic cup without using your hands!

Games in one place

When everyone is running and jumping, you can play something just as fun, but not requiring significant movement. Such games will calm the children a little and at the same time add additional variety.

Children's quests

More and more popular are games based on the phased passage of tasks or the search for hidden treasures. Such a competition, of course, requires preliminary preparation, but it allows you to keep the children busy for a long time, and besides, it is easy to tie it to any theme of the holiday. Various variations depend on the age and capabilities of the children, as well as your talent as an organizer.

1. "Magic Lottery". Hide "lottery balls" (boxes from kinder surprises, colorful balls, wooden eggs, chestnuts with numbers written with a marker) in a variety of places where children can find them: under the porch, in raspberry bushes, in a hollow or between the roots of an old tree. Announce a search, and then play the received numbers, for each handing an interesting prize.
2. "Treasure hunters". Make a "pirate map", following which the children can find the hidden "treasure". There may be one or two different maps for a team competition. Plan a complex route with waypoints where you will need to complete something to move on. For example, "ten steps north from the gazebo" - but how to determine where the north is? Put a compass on the table in the gazebo, let them guess to use it. Or tell them after guessing the riddle. In the finale, the “treasure” can be dug up (take care of the shoulder blades) or pulled out in a chest from some hiding place. "Treasure" will serve as souvenirs or sweets for all guests.
3. "Pathfinders". Here the preparation will be more thorough. The search route must be determined on the terrain itself: arrows made of branches, inverted and shifted pebbles, indications on tree trunks ... You can do it a little easier: paint the pebbles with white paint, draw an arrow on each pebble, and hide these pointer pebbles along the entire length of the route. Let the children look for where to go next! Take the risk of complicating the path with deceptive arrows.
4. "Unravel and move on". The path of the quest will be marked with riddles, each of which encodes a specific search point. It all depends on what riddles you can find or come up with: this or that place should serve as a clue, for example, a stump, a garden figurine of a gnome or a mushroom, a porch, a gate, an apple tree, a dog house, etc. For an older company, you can offer additional contests for each item: to get the next riddle, you need, for example, to guess a rebus, make something, sing a song, etc.
5. "By photographs". You can give the children numbered photographs, each of which depicts a specific place. Of course, the pictures should be fragmentary so that the guys have to think, but from which tree, for example, this branch, under which the next clue is hidden?
6. "Encrypted Finish". Performing tasks at various objects, children receive a code letter. At the end, a word is assembled from the received letters - the final destination of the search.
7. "Collect the List". The task of the children is to bring all the items from the list that you make in advance. The list should look like a riddle: "Something green, something with the letter K, something consisting of two parts." Or you can have the children pull out 5-7 letters each from the bag and bring objects for each letter. You can search for items on the site, in the garden, on the birthday table ...

In any combination, the proposed competitions will definitely be popular with children. And the organizer of all this splendor will earn the love and gratitude of the children and their parents, as well as a great desire to visit you again for an interesting children's holiday. After all, for children, the opportunity to have fun is much more valuable than treats and even gifts!

Anyone in his life traveled with a large company to nature, to rest, to a camp site. But, unfortunately, not everything always goes according to plan. The expected fun vacation suddenly turns out to be a boring quiet gathering. So, to prevent this from happening, you just need to find ways of entertainment yourself, and various competitions are such. That is exactly what we are going to talk about.

The most important thing in competitions is thoughtfulness, everything must be planned in advance, all details are packed, all texts are spelled out. Also, do not forget about the age category. It is inappropriate to hold those contests that will be uninteresting or even incomprehensible to a group of people. Therefore, in order for the rest to be a success with a bang and the birthday to go well, it is necessary that each of the participants can feel at ease, and in no case feel embarrassed.

What are the contests

In general, competitions are divided into several types:

• Intelligent. Such competitions are usually attended by older people who love to show off their knowledge, show intelligence and erudition. Chess can also be classified as an intellectual competition, if the winner is awarded a prize.
• Merry. This type implies fun, laughter, tomfoolery. They bring positive emotions not only to the participants, but also to the spectators. As for the age group, these competitions are suitable for everyone, because everyone likes to laugh at himself and his friend.
• Physical. These competitions are distinguished by the manifestation of physical strength, they involve fights using sports props (weights, rope, jump rope, etc.). Age is not limited, males are preferably involved.

The most popular competitions in nature

Let's start with the most interesting and frequently used birthday contests in nature, which are popular in any company, and not a single vacation trip can do without them.

Of course, one of these competitions is the "Tug of War". He has many variations. It brings out command power.

"Tug of War"

All participants must be divided into 2 teams, it is desirable that the forces are approximately equal. You can choose 2 captains, who will recruit companions one by one, you can do it in another way, this is up to you. The two resulting groups become opposite each other, take the rope. It is necessary to make marks on the ground, for example, drive a stick into the ground where the middle of the rope is and where each team is located, and on the rope itself, tie a ribbon exactly in the middle so that the winner can be determined. After these actions, at the command of the leader, the participants begin to pull the rope. The winner is the group that quickly combined the ribbon on the rope with the mark on their side. It is better to hold such a competition when the company is already a little tipsy, it will be more interesting and funnier.

The next, no less popular competition, which is suitable for corporate outdoor recreation on a birthday, is Treasure Hunt.

"Treasure Hunt"

This competition will require different items from each of the two teams, the same number. It is desirable that all items be about the same size, such as different jars, chocolate bars, small packages of cookies, sweets - everything that is not a pity to give away. While the participants are not looking, the host hides all the details in the recreation area, choosing two different places. You can hide it anywhere: in the hollow of a tree, under a pile of leaves, behind a stump, in a hole and other interesting places. Each team in the territory allotted to it is looking for the things of the opponent, which at the time of the competition are treasures. The host announces the start of the game, and the teams begin their search, trying to find all the things faster than their rivals. And when all the treasures are found by one of the groups, they are automatically awarded to the winners as the main prize, and of course, they also take their things. The competition is very interesting, exciting, everyone will be happy to become a participant in this game.

A very common, good old game from a series of catch-ups that will cause a sea of ​​​​emotions is “paints”. Anyone who is not afraid to run a certain distance will want to participate in this competition.

"Paints"

This game is scripted. All participants stand in a line and guess any color, it is desirable that it be rare, so it will be more difficult to guess. The host (buyer) walks a short distance away from them and turns away. A similar dialogue follows:

• Host (B): - Knock-knock-knock?
• Participants (U): — Who is here?
• Q: I am a monk.
• W: Why did you come?
• B: For paint.
• W: What color?
• Next, the host says any color that comes to his mind.
• B: - (for example) behind the blue one.
• If this paint is missing, then the answer sounds something like this:
• U: - No, now jump around on one leg.
• And then the buyer jumps a small circle. But if such a beauty is among those conceived, then the participants answer:
• U: - There is one, you need to pay for it ...

Names the age of the owner of this color.

The buyer quickly counts aloud to the named number, and at this time the beauty tries to run far away from him. Having counted, the leader runs after the paint, and then the catch-up begins, it can take a long time, everyone supports the evader with a loud cry. The point is for the beauty to return to its place, not caught. If the host still caught her, then they change places, and the game starts again, only with a different buyer. This competition is very fun, interesting, especially when there are many participants.

Contests are very popular in nature on birthdays - relay races, when all the vacationers ate, got drunk and decided to have fun. Here are a few options for such an active holiday.

"Candle"

Participants are divided into 2 teams, stand in equal columns one after the other. The captains of each team are given a lit candle in their hands. Usually the distance of the run is chosen to be small so that each player can run his own way without a long wait. A route is chosen, along which the participants run in turn. For example: you need to run to a tree that is the same distance from each team, run around it and return. But the main thing is that the candle does not go out in any case. If suddenly this happens, then the participant must return to the team, light a candle and start all over again. If the fire does not go out, then the candle is passed to the next from the team, and he runs on the same conditions. The game continues until the moment when each of the participants does not make his way. The winner is the team that completes the task the fastest.

"Jumpers"

This competition also requires 2 teams, the same formation of participants, only instead of running with a candle, each of the group will need to jump on one leg to a certain place and back. To complicate the task a little, you can choose the terrain on the slope so that the jumper goes up there, and back down the hill. The more the players fall, the funnier the audience naturally gets. The winner is the team that finishes the relay first. As a prize in this competition, you can make any remedy for abrasions and bruises, it will come in handy. By the way, instead of jumping on one leg, as an option, you can equip the participant in skis, give out sticks and send along the same path, it will be no less funny.

Outdoor recreation is generally very popular in our time, people are charged with positive emotions, are not afraid to open up and be funny and just have fun, not remembering everyday problems. But you can relax not only in nature, but also, for example, in the country, celebrating, meeting graduates, or simply for no reason.

As a rule, the dacha is usually located outside the city, and apart from your friends, no one will see you in the coming days, so you can hold a similar competition.

"Bright bottle"

For the props, you will need all the cosmetics that the girls took with them from home: nail polishes, lipsticks, shadows, blush, etc. Everything is neatly laid out in a circle, a bottle is placed in the center. All participants sit around and start the game. They take turns spinning the bottle, which object it points to, the participant will have to use it (make up nails, cheeks, lips). It's very funny, especially when both sexes are involved. The main thing in such a competition is to capture everything in photographs, so that later they can laugh together at the received shots.

The game can continue until the moment when all participants are decorated.. The winner is the one whose makeup is the best and most beautiful, it will be fun if the winner is a young man. And you can do it differently: play until one of the participants remains, untouched by cosmetics, and he will be the winner. As a prize, you can give away part of the cosmetics.

A very interesting comic contest will improve the mood in any bored company. Everyone loves to play people, but not everyone wants to be a test subject.

"Coin"

No more than 5 people can take part in this competition. From a newspaper or a large sheet of paper, you need to twist a bag with a hole at the end. Participants must insert it into their pants or trousers, always in front. Each player is given a coin, which he must put on his forehead, raising his head up. After the done actions, the rules of the game are announced to the participants. The bottom line is that with the same coin from the forehead, the players can get into the bag. But in which leg the coin will fall, this will decide the further development of the game. While the facilitator explains the rules and the participants look up, one of the spectators brings a container of water. After warning the facilitator about the beginning of the game, when the participants with their heads raised try to aim at the bag, the facilitator pours the prepared water into it. All the spectators will simply die of laughter from such a prank, and the participants will not be very offended, but will simply laugh along with everyone.

The presence of competitions at the camp site will increase your mood

If you decide to relax, celebrate your birthday or any other holiday at the camp site, then in this case, many competitions will also be useful to you. Indeed, in the absence of games, you can get bored, and so that this does not happen, we offer the following options.

"Rhyme"

Several people can participate in this fun contest at the same time. Participants sit in a circle, in front of them, in the center, any prize is placed. The entire competition is held in verse. The host starts:

• If you hear the number three, then rather take the prize.

Then the leader pronounces rhymed phrases, one after another, where the word three should be the logical conclusion. The participants, who are waiting to hear the cherished word, are already beginning to reach for the gift, but the ending turns out to be unexpected.

• Lights were turned on by the lanterns - there are exactly eight of them in a row.
• We waited for her inside, maybe an hour, or even five.

And a host can say a lot of similar phrases, but word three should be where no one expects to hear it, for example:

• On a grand occasion, I wrote you three words.

In this phrase, the participants may not even hear the right word, and wait further, and whoever understands first that it still sounded will receive the prize. The most attentive participant will be the winner.

If suddenly there are children on vacation, then they can also be involved in the competition, even as props.

"It does not pull its load"

How many children are on vacation, so many teams will be in this competition. Each of the players must put one child on their shoulders. Next to each team there will be a container, and at the distance that will be measured for the race, a bucket of water. The task is for the runner with a glass in his hand and a child on his shoulders to run to the bucket., took water, returned just as quickly and poured water into a container. Then the next player in the group takes the child, the glass, and repeats the actions of the previous participant. The winner is not the team that finishes the competition first, but the one that has more water in their allotted container. This competition is best held after the first glass so that the children do not suffer.

Very interesting and popular competitions at the hostel are also competitions from the series of throwers and throwers.

It is better to divide those wishing to participate into two equal teams of 6 people, and more can be. A bucket of potatoes is placed next to the team, it is better if it is small, and each group must have an equal amount. At an average distance from the participants, another bucket is placed, only already empty, it will be the goal.

Game "Circle"

All participants gather in a tight circle. Stretch your arms out to the center of the circle. Thumbs up. The host puts the ball on his fingers. They have to carry this ball some distance. However, they must be silent. If the ball fell, someone touched with a few fingers, did not touch at all, or said a word, then everything starts all over again. Fingers must be strictly below the ball. If the participants cope too quickly, then the leader can complicate the passage, for example, by replacing the usual tennis ball.
