New Year's contests for a small company in a restaurant

In this case, there are some peculiarities. Funny competitions for the new year in a restaurant can be quite moving, but not too much so as not to damage furniture and utensils.

Contests are also welcome, allowing you to have fun without leaving the table. In this case, you can have fun even where there is no special agreement for this.

Congratulations alphabetically

Invite the guests to take turns congratulating the audience and say toasts, but not just like that, but alphabetically. The first one says a toast to the letter “a”, the second - to “b”, and so on. The most fun, of course, begins, towards the end of the alphabet, in the area of ​​the letters "y", "s", as well as a hard and soft sign. The winner is the one whose congratulations or toast will be the most fun.

two oxen

Two participants are selected. They are placed with their backs to each other, a rope tied into a ring is thrown over them in the manner of a team. A chair or table with a prize is placed in front of each participant at a distance of several meters. The task of the participants is to pull the opponent and be the first to grab their prize.

Jelly

For this cool competition for the new year, you will need some kind of delicate product: jelly, jelly, soufflé. The task of the participants is to eat their portion as quickly as possible with the help of matches or toothpicks.

The last one standing wins. This contest awakens the appetite very well, and it is convenient to hold it, for example, between appetizers and hot dishes.

New Year contests for corporate parties

Corporate events usually involve the presence in one place of a large number of people who are unfamiliar with each other. It is here that employees of different departments meet for the first time, who in ordinary life do not contact each other in any way, or even are at enmity. Therefore, competitions New Year corporate parties should unobtrusively bring people together. Here, team entertainment, pair competitions and the like are used.

Chief Accountant

On the poster, various banknotes in a variety of currencies are randomly drawn. Banknotes must be recognizable. The task of the participants is to count the banknotes starting from the first and ending with the last. Moreover, all currencies must be counted simultaneously: 1 ruble, 1 dollar, 1 euro, 2 euro, 2 dollars, 2 rubles. The one who never fails wins.

Diver

Since a separate hall is most often rented for corporate events, mobile contests can usually be afforded here. The diver competition will require two pairs of fins and two binoculars. Participants go to the start in twos, put on fins, take binoculars and, looking at it from the opposite side, try to overcome the distance as quickly as possible. It's quite difficult, so don't make the distance too long, and even more difficult, with a lot of turns and obstacles.

Baba Yaga

The meaning is similar to the previous one. Participants put one foot in the bucket and hold it with their hand. In the second hand they are given a mop. Baba Yaga in a mortar with a broom is ready. It remains only to find out which of the two (three) is more agile and faster.

Discoverer

When the allotted time ends, the leader counts the inhabitants on both planets. The team with the largest population wins.

Damaged Phone and Associations

Do not forget about the good old, time-tested games. For example, a broken phone. Participants sit in a circle or a chain, depending on the capacity of the hall. In principle, you can play it without leaving the table. The first participant whispers a hidden word into the neighbor's ear. It is usually advised to do this quickly and indiscriminately. But in fact, no matter how you pronounce your word, there are many people in a long chain who hear it wrong. Whispering does not contribute to speech intelligibility. As a result, you need to compare the initial and final word.

The association game is not too different from the "telephone". In this case, the participants do not repeat the word they heard, but tell their neighbor their associations: Santa Claus - gifts - a holiday, and so on.

The main thing is that the suit sits

This contest is best held towards the end of the evening, when the guests are already a little drunk, get to know each other and are ready for really fun contests.

When the music stops, the person who has the bag left, without looking, takes out one item from there and puts it on. The winner is the one who wears the least "competitive" clothes. However, by the end everyone looks fun.

Snowman
