Wedding contests
A wedding is a great holiday! The birth of a new family. In order for the celebration to come out well and be remembered by everyone and for a long time, it is necessary to think over everything to the smallest detail. One lavish feast is indispensable. It is also necessary to entertain the guests. Most often, the toastmaster is engaged in this, but a young couple can also throw him a couple of interesting ideas.
Option 1
A simple and fun guess the melody contest. It consists in the fact that the leader calls three pairs (as many as possible). He puts on helmets on the stronger floor, gives the weaker sex a toy hammer (soft hammer, squeaks when pressed). The guys are seated on chairs in front of the girls, and the melody, the first chords, are played. Whoever recognizes the melody first hits the helmet with a hammer.
Option 2
No wedding is complete without alcoholic drinks. And over time, there were also a lot of competitions with their use. One of the most "drunk" and funniest contests - guess what's in the cocktail. Toastmaster prepares several pieces of paper with recipes for alcoholic cocktails and the cocktails themselves. Then he calls the assistant and participants. The latter drink and guess the ingredients, the first keeps track of how correctly the composition was named.
Option 3
Of course, at any meal, guests want to move. For this there is a wonderful competition "feel the situation". Before starting it, the presenter says that sooner or later a little happiness appears in any family. And while the young are just getting ready for it, the guests have the opportunity to experience the role of a young mother. To do this, strongly inflated balls are attached to the stomach, and small toys and objects are scattered on the floor. The task of the "pregnant" is to collect as many scattered things as possible without losing or bursting the balloon. Both girls and men can take part in this competition, but with the latter it will be much funnier.
Option 4
Another fun "princess and a pea" contest. It requires a chair with a padded seat and a few walnuts. The participant turns his back to the chair, the presenter puts the nuts and puts the guest on it. And he must determine how many nuts were put to him.
Birthday contests for children
Children just like adults love holidays, what can we say about birthday... The holiday, which is only once a year, should be with a bang. Therefore, it is best to think over and plan everything in advance. To keep kids from getting bored, you can use the following contest ideas.
Option 1
To establish mutual understanding and contact between children, they need to be introduced. Divide the children according to the colors of their clothes. First, ask those in blue to introduce themselves, then those in yellow, and so on in order. You can ask the children to come up with a short story. So everyone will be interested. The main thing is, do not forget about anyone, especially if there are a lot of children.
Option 2
Many kids love to paint. It is this skill that will form the basis of the next competition. The facilitator's task is to come up with questions about animals that do not exist in nature. Children, in turn, must describe the beast and draw what it is like, as well as depict the sounds that it makes. The most important thing is to come up with funny interesting questions. For example: "How does a hippo fish cry?" or "What does a clown turtle look like?" Etc.
Option 3
Children love adventure, riddles and mysteries, and even more they enjoy solving them. Therefore, you can invite them to be pirates or treasure hunters. All that is required of you is to prepare a treasure map in advance and lay out sweets-rewards (it is best to use chocolate medals) in accordance with it. So that the game is not too easy or can be offered to children over 6 years old, use not one card, but several. Write the assignment papers so that one leads the child to the other. Ultimately, having solved all the problems, the child receives a "treasure".
Option 4
A very interesting competition with balloons for older children. It is necessary to prepare leaves, draw or write on them what needs to be done. For example, crowing 30 times, singing, portraying a camel. These leaves are rolled up, placed inside the ball. The balloon is inflated. To complete the task, the performer needs to burst the ball, then take out a piece of paper and read what he got.

The rules are very simple: the facilitator thinks out a word and calls it to one participant. The same, in turn, with the help of gestures and facial expressions, tries to explain it to friends, who must guess what they are shown.

But each participant can be rewarded. The prize can be chosen according to taste.
- For the next competition, you will need a box of matches. The participant is asked to hold the box with two matches. Then, when the person is up to the task, complicate the rules. Now, in addition to the fact that the participant is holding the box, he must also hit the floor with his foot. And when a participant comes across who will be good at this action, the presenter turns to the audience and says the words: "And this is how they start a motorcycle in the sixth chamber."

Table contests

The rules for this contest are simple. All you need is to prepare a small bag, put small notes in it, on which it is written why the guest came to the host for the holiday. The inscriptions should be humorous, but not offensive. For example: sleep, have a tasty meal, borrow money, and the like. The competition will well defuse the atmosphere and bring the guests closer together.
Who am I
A very common game, fun and easy. Perfect for a large company. All you need are stickers and a felt-tip pen. On the sticker, you must write the name of an animal, an outstanding person, a celebrity, or an object. This piece of paper is glued to the opponent's forehead.
