ANO "Mir detstva" kindergarten№1342 branch "Solnyshko" Leisure dedicated to the day of Grandparents for children of primary preschool age.

The February weekend is over. There was great satisfaction from the matinee held for our dads. And we are very inspired.

Today it is customary to include an entertainment program in most events, but scenarios are more often focused on younger and middle-aged people. It is interesting to organize competitions for older people - this is the most difficult task for presenters, since it is necessary to take into account the physical and emotional characteristics of age. There are several rules that should be observed when holding such events for representatives of the older age category:

It is necessary to warn potential participants in advance so that they can tune in and prepare.

For older people, competitions are best held in the morning (but not early in the morning), because it is at this time that they have more strength and energy.

The place for holding such events should be spacious, it is necessary to provide areas for recreation.

When organizing games and competitions for the elderly, the host should be more careful and not rush. At this age, reactions are slow, and any answer is thought out very carefully. Therefore, in order not to offend the participants, one should be very patient.

If several assistants of a younger age are invited to such a company, then the event will be more lively.

Active and quiet entertainment should be alternated or musical pauses should be announced between them.

Fun contests for the elderly

If young people are proud of their beauty, strength and dexterity, then at an older age it is more pleasant to demonstrate their intellectual abilities. Therefore, any games in which you can show your mental potential will be perceived with optimism by this age category.

Men can be offered to build some kind of tool or fishing tackle from improvised materials. Believe me, the participant who is far behind ...

Men of this age are unusually gallant, so you can come up with a competition in which they will seek the favor of a lady with beautiful signs of attention (for example: throw a jacket over their shoulders, bring a chair and seat them, give a flower or sweets, read a poem, invite them to a dance, etc. ).

Women can be offered to compete in needlework skills: tie with twine as much as possible large quantity those present in a beautiful “live” pattern or “weave” a blanket or blanket from the items of clothing of their team. Practice shows that ladies in their golden age are able to be more active than men, so you can also hold a dance marathon for elimination. For older people, competitions of this nature should be held, taking into account their

Despite some forgetfulness in everyday life, people of mature age have an excellent memory for films, artists, songs, etc. Using modern ones, it is easy to prepare contests for older people: “Guess the movie”, “Guess the song”, “Guess the artist”, etc. e. Competitions can gradually develop into an evening of remembrance or a song concert. If the presenter manages to find his bearings in time, then you can diversify the program of the event with real funny stories from life, only you should first set restrictions on the topic and regulations.

When the table is going good company, the party promises to be boring!

But the guests drank and ate ... talked last news from the life of their loved ones and the country as a whole ... they danced ... and some prepared to get bored ... But it wasn’t there!

Good hosts always have something in stock that will not only disperse boredom, but also bring the guests of the holiday together, and will also be remembered for a long time by fun and humor - these are, of course, various contests.

They are very different:

• mobile (with and without objects),
• musical,
• drawing,
• verbal, etc.

Today I will introduce you to those that can be carried out without leaving the table.

NOTE! They can be performed in different versions, change the rules, add items, increase or decrease the number of participants - in a word, be creative in compiling a program of fun and funny table competitions for adult company sitting at the table.

We start with a simple one - what is at hand (literally and figuratively!)

"The Alphabet Beside Us"

The facilitator calls any letter of the alphabet, except four Y-Y-L-b(you can also agree on the exclusion of the letter Y).

Players in a circle call objects-products-things that begin with this letter, which are directly next to them and which can be reached or touched.

Option! - add adjectives to the list of nouns: B - incomparable salad, incomparable lipstick (from a neighbor), endless macaroni, C - pretty vinaigrette, sugar cake ...

The game goes on until the words are exhausted. The last one to call wins.

And here is another game with letters.

"Burime in order"

Starting with the first letter of the alphabet, the players come up with a mini-congratulation (depending on the occasion of the audience) or simply sentences that are appropriate for this holiday.

The phrase should begin first with the letter A, the next with B, then C, and so on. It is desirable that funny phrases be invented, such as:

“It’s great that we are here today!”
- It used to be...
- That's …
- Lord...

Attention! The sequence of letters in the alphabet and the meaning of the invented sentences are also important here. It is clear that some letters (b-b-s) are skipped.

The winner is the one who came up with the funniest phrase. Decided by unanimous vote.

The alphabet was - it's up to the verses!

"What's in the package, tell me!"

If there are craftsmen at the table to compose poetry (the level of poetry, of course, will be taken into account, but here the main thing is different), then offer the next competition.

A few psychics are given one item, which is packaged in an opaque cloth-box-bag. They should quietly consider what they got and compose a poem about the subject. Guests listen and guess.

Important! You can’t name what is hidden, you can only describe the purpose in verse, appearance…

The writer of the longest and most original work wins.

Everyone loves stories!

"Modern fairy tale"

Inventory: pieces of paper, pens.

The players are divided into two teams. Usually they are divided according to the principle “we sit next to each other”. Each chooses for himself (option - the driver appoints) a profession. For example, cooks and truckers.

After 5-7 minutes of preparation, the teams should voice any fairy tale they choose (an option assigned by the driver) in a modern way, using professional vocabulary and terminology.

For example, the tale of a brave cook begins with the words: “Once upon a time my grandmother had a piece of ham for two and a half kilos ...” We advise the compiler of the program to come up with starting phrases in advance for different professions participants.

Everyone has fun! Prize for the winning team: sweets, a bottle of champagne for everyone ...

Try it too! Teams do not play, but individual participants. Then more time is given for preparation, and it will be easier for the guests to single out the winner.

Beloved by everyone since childhood "Spoiled Phone"

Here, the more people, the better.

The driver (or the first person sitting) thinks of a word (phrase), writes it down on a piece of paper (for the purity of the experiment!))) And passes it along the chain, whispering in each other's ears.

Everyone remembers to whisper quietly and as close as possible to what they heard. The latter speaks the word aloud.

The funny begins at the moment when, with a mismatch between “input-output”, “showdowns” begin - at what stage, for whom, what went wrong.

Robot YES-NO

The driver prepares cards with the names of animals in advance and announces that the guests will guess them by asking any questions that he can answer only with the words YES-NO (in last resort"Hard to say").

The game continues until the animal is guessed, and the host shows the card with the correct answer.

Questions can be about wool (whether short or long), about legs, paws, about whether there is a tail (fluffy or smooth), about claws, neck, about what it eats, where it sleeps, and so on.

Game option! It is not an animal that is guessed, but an object. Then the questions will be about the size, color, appearance, purpose, presence in the house or on the street, the ability to pick it up, the presence of numbers, the presence of electricity in it ...

Another variant of the game is frivolous. You can guess items from a men's or women's wardrobe, underwear, or for the most daring - from an assortment of adult stores.

paper contests

And here's another game where the funniest thing is also a mismatch.

chipmunk speaker

Props:

• nuts (or orange, or bun),
• paper,
• pen.

Those sitting at the table are divided into pairs: “orator” and “stenographer”.

The “orator” puts nuts (orange slices, a piece of bread) in his cheeks so that it is difficult to speak. He is given a text (poetry or prose), which needs to be pronounced as clearly as possible (as far as the contents of the “cheek pouches” allow). The "stenographer" is trying to write down, as he understood, what he heard. Then compared with the "source".

The couple whose "transcript" is the most correct wins.

Option! One “speaker” is selected, and everyone writes down.

"Explain in 30 Seconds"

• pens / pencils according to the number of players,
• small slips of paper
• box/pouch/hat.

We play like this:

1. Guests are divided into pairs. It is possible by lot, it is possible at will, it is possible in the neighborhood at the table. Each pair is a team.
2. Players receive pens/pencils and sheets of paper (each has several - 15-20).
3. Everyone writes 15-20 (specify this in advance with the players) of any nouns that come to mind: on one sheet - one noun.
4. Sheets with words are hidden in a box / bag / hat.
5. First, the first pair-team plays: they take turns pulling out sheets of words and must explain to each other the word that they came across, but in no case naming the noun itself.

For example, the word “cart” is a cart drawn by horses, “frying pan” is a pancake baker.

After the first word is guessed, you can get a sheet with another.

Everything is given 30 seconds. You can agree on a minute - depending on the state of the company)))

How many words the team guesses, so many points it will receive.

Then the turn passes to another pair of players.

The time limit makes this competition spectacular, loud, noisy and fun!

The team that guessed the most words wins.

Fun table contests with answers

Prepare: a box with pieces of paper in it, on which various questions are written.

Attention! In winter, they can be made in the form of snowflakes, in the summer in the form of apples, in the fall in the form of colored leaves, in spring it can be flowers.

We play like this:

Everyone takes turns pulling out paper sheets with questions and answering them not only as truthfully as possible, but also funny.

Questions might be:

• What was your favorite toy as a child?
• What vacation do you remember the most?
• Have New Year's wishes ever come true?
• What was the funniest thing that happened to you as a child?
• What's the funniest purchase you've ever made?
• If there is an animal at home, what funny incident can you remember (what he ate)?
• What did you dream about as a child and did it come true?
• What's the funniest prank you can remember?
• Do you love your housemates and why?

Questions for the story can be very different, taking into account the degree of frankness of the company.

The winner is the one whose story will please the most guests.

Are you asking? I answer!

Let's cook:

• question cards,
• answer cards,
• 2 boxes.

We play like this.

Questions are in one box, answers are in the other.

The players sit down, if possible, alternating: man-woman-man-woman ... So the answers will be more interesting!

The first player takes out a card with a question and reads it aloud to his table neighbor.

He takes, without looking into the box, a piece of paper with an answer and also reads it out.

Quite funny sometimes it turns out coincidence question-answer)))

Questions can be as follows (it is assumed that the company is close and everything is “on you”):

Two truths and a lie

This is a fun table competition for an adult company that does not require preparation. Best suited for a company where the participants do not know each other too well.

Each player must say three statements or facts about themselves. Two true, one false. Listeners vote to decide which one is false. If they guessed correctly, the player (liar) wins nothing. If you don't guess right, you get a small prize.

Option - everyone writes down their statements on sheets of paper, marking false ones, give them to the host (party host), and he reads them out in turn.

One more?

Several competitions for a drunk company that wants to become even more drunk.

Find the crocodile

This game can be played in the process of other games, as an additional one. It, in fact, lasts the whole evening, but at the very beginning it is necessary to tell the guests its rules.

At some point in the party, the host secretly passes a clothespin (crocodile) to one of the guests (“hunter”), and he must attach it discreetly to the clothes of a “victim” chosen by him (or put it in a lady’s purse or in a man’s jacket pocket). Then he gives a sign to the leader that the task is completed.

As soon as the clothespin has found a new owner, the presenter says “The crocodile has escaped! Who did he go to?" and aloud starts counting from 10 to one. The guests are looking to see if they were the target of a prank.

If within 10 seconds the “victim” finds a lurking “crocodile hiding in a bag or clinging to a collar” – the “hunter” drinks a penalty glass. If it does not find it, the “victim” must drink.

You can limit the search area (the crocodile clings only to clothes) or give more time.

Drinking alphabet chain

For the competition you need: glasses with your favorite drinks, memory for names and knowledge of the alphabet.

The game goes around. The first player says the first and last name of the celebrity. The next one must also name a celebrity whose name begins with the first letter of the last name of the previous one.

To make it clearer, see an example:

The first player chooses Cameron Diaz. The second Dmitry Kharatyan. Third Hugh Grant. Fourth George Vitsin. And so on.

You can name any famous persons, politicians, actors, athletes. A player who cannot find the right name within 5 seconds (approximately) must drink his glass. Then the glass is filled, and the move passes to the next player.

The longer the game lasts, the more difficult it is to pick up new names (you can’t repeat yourself), the fun and the company are rapidly gaining degrees.

Insert your five cents

The organizer of the competition needs to prepare leaflets with phrases that are far in meaning from the theme of a feast or birthday. Give each of the guests a card with a phrase at the very beginning of the party.

Phrases can be:

The task of each participant is to insert “his” phrase into the conversation so that others do not understand that this is a phrase from a piece of paper. After the player has spoken his phrase, he needs to wait a minute, after which he says “Win!!!” During this time, any other guest who, during the conversation, suspects that a phrase from a piece of paper was spoken, can try to convict the player. He must repeat the phrase he thinks was used. Of course, there is a chance that he will not guess.

If the accuser is mistaken, then he drinks a “penalty glass”. If you guessed right, then a penalty is assigned to the one who was caught using the phrase from the sheet.

Guess the brand

If the name of the company is included in the slogan, then you can abbreviate it. For example: Who goes where, and I (to the savings bank). This slogan is included in the retro section of our list. In a young company, you can at least invite guests to guess whose advertising slogan it might be. You can come up with clues or multiple answers.

For example: Who goes where, and I ... (at VDNKh, to Moskvoshveya, to get married, to Sberbank).

Find your soul mate

If there are about half of the women and men in the company, then you can play this game. Although, it is suitable, with some degree of conventionality, in other cases.

To do this, you need to prepare in advance small cards on which to write the names of famous couples. One name per card. For example:

• Romeo and Juliet;
• Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin;
• Dolphin and mermaid;
• Twix stick and Twix stick;
• Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt...

Each guest receives a card with a name - this is his "image".

Task: everyone must find their soul mate by asking the rest of the guests in turn questions that can only be answered with “yes” or “no”. Direct questions like "Is your name Angelina?" or "you are Brad's wife"? prohibited. Allowed questions like "Do you have children with your soul mate?"; “Are you and your significant other married?”; “Do you and your significant other live in…?”

Those who find their soul mate by asking the minimum number of questions win. The more couple cards you have, the better. Since only half of the guests will play in the first round (when they find their soul mate, she loses the opportunity to look for hers). Therefore, after the first round, new cards are dealt and the second round goes.

Option: in the first circle they are looking for a half of a woman, in the second a man.

Do you have..?

This game is suitable for a large company and for celebrating a variety of holidays.

The company is divided into two teams with an equal number of participants. We must try to have the same number of women in each.

The host, starting with the words “Do you have ...?”, Reads out a list of things you are looking for. Members of each team need to find this thing and show it to the leader.

Team members search in pockets and purses, finders show the item they are looking for, the team gets a point for each item found. For one item named, the team gets only one point (no matter how many five thousandth bills the team members have, the team can only get one point for the item with a bill).

So, do you have with you..?

• banknote of 5000 rubles;
• Notebook;
• photo of the child;
• mint chewing gum;
• sweetie;
• pencil;
• keychain with at least 7 keys;
• penknife;
• 7 (or 5) credit cards per person;
• a trifle in the amount of at least 95 rubles (for one person);
• hand cream;
• flash drive;
• nail polish;
• shoe sponge...

The list of things can be arbitrarily supplemented.

Play, have fun with the guests at the festive table!

Do not forget that each competition can be creatively redesigned for your company.

Let this day be remembered by your friends not only the most delicious meals, but also the most fun and cool contests.

Eat! Drink! And don't be bored!

Can be used at any seniors party. It will also come in handy, anniversary, March 8, New Year etc.

The meeting room is decorated balloons, the windows are closed with curtains, tables are set up and served for tea drinking. There are candlesticks with candles on a separate table of the hostess. Children prepare several musical numbers for guests in advance.

The hostess enters the hall where the guests have gathered and lights candles. The accordion player sat on a chair.

Ditties for pensioners

Gatherings gathered us for fragrant tea,
Here we do not notice sores and hardships.

We will remember our friends and our successes,
We will arrange competitions together, various joys.

Don't let your neighbor get bored, make your neighbor happy
Take a sweet candy with a hot tea.

Our daring harmonist invites us to dance,
Well, and who will go with whom, everyone decides for himself.

And now the first competition: our respected harmonist will play melodies, and we will try to guess them.

Guess the melody

The harmonist plays, for example, "Golden Mountains", "Someone went down the hill", "Daisies hid", "Ah, Samara-town", "Old Maple".

Mistress:
It can be seen that you know the melodies of youth well, but let's listen to something modern. Can you recognize them.
The accordionist plays such tunes as "Birches" (Lube), "Tractor Drivers" (Igor Rasteryaev), the Anthem of the Russian Federation.

Mistress:
I propose now to sit, chat, drink tea with sweets, listen to music.
Guests spend time over a cup of tea.

Mistress:
Do we have delicious tea? What about sweets? But they are not simple. Each wrapper has a riddle written on it. Let's try to figure them out, shall we?

One of the participants pronounces the letters of the alphabet mentally in order, the other participant after a few seconds says “stop” to the first one, on which letter he was stopped, the game will go to this letter. For example, the first participant said: "I was stopped at the letter H." He names any word - a noun, and it is impossible to name names and names of cities. He says "rhinoceros", the next one says "nostalgia", the next one "news", etc. several times in a circle, if someone finds it difficult to say the next word for this letter, then at the expense of "five" he must pay off, i.e. e. tell a joke, verse, and the game is on further in a circle, and if he is embarrassed to pay off with an anecdote or a verse, then he must give up his phantom (pen, handkerchief, etc.) and leave the game. Thus, the hostess or presenter collects forfeits from all. The last remaining one is called "verbal" and he is assigned the role of each phantom to assign a literary fine. To do this, the "verbal" turns away, and the host takes turns forfeits and over his head the "verbal" asks: "What should this fanta do?" Everyone remembers without a loud response: who should do what. And the “word-twister” says, for example: “To this phantom, quickly say the tongue twister three times“ Grass in the yard, firewood on the grass. Do not chop wood on the grass of the yard. "To another phantom - to tell a poem, to the next phantom - a fable, a saying, a ditty, etc. After all the appointments, everyone performs his task.
