Interesting ideas and fun entertainment for home and office on February 23: games, competitions, skits

February is very rich in holidays. Emotions have not even had time to calm down after Valentine's Day when February 23rd is already knocking on the door. And although most men claim that they expect absolutely nothing from this day (a day is like a day), in fact, many of them want attention, care and bright impressions. As you understand, neither an expensive perfume, nor several pairs of socks or panties as a gift can cause real joy. But a good party with competitions and entertainment can do this.

In order to make the strong half of humanity happy on this holiday, it is enough to organize a truly exciting and interesting celebration, where every man can express himself and prove his superiority. After all, being winners in life is in their blood. You can, of course, not bother too much and hire a good presenter. Or you can turn on your imagination and creativity and organize everything yourself. A little effort and time spent will bring long-awaited results - a joyful and cheerful mood for the heroes of the occasion.

How else can you diversify the holiday?

Many organizers, when preparing a festive event dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day, are tormented by the question of the possibilities of diversifying the entertainment part.
Standard approaches in the form of congratulations, show programs and a set table are long relics of the past. I would like to bring something new, unusual, to arrange an unforgettable holiday for men and women. It's a good idea to move the holiday event to a water park, where you can have water fights. With great pleasure, the heroes of the occasion will take part in a quest game corresponding to a military theme. However, here you will have to rack your brains for more than one evening in order to be able to implement different ideas into a single gameplay.

In fact, there are a huge number of ideas that can be used to organize a competition program. A particularly vivid highlight will be a parachute jump or an ATV race.

For adults, the presented options are quite successful, but for children it is necessary to look for a different approach. If desired, you can organize a festive event using a small competitive program at the hippodrome, where after active games and presentation of gifts, children can enjoy a horse ride.

When throwing a party to celebrate Defender of the Fatherland Day with friends, it is ideal to consider playing paintball or a home military party.

You can come up with different options for celebrating, the main thing is to show your imagination and be able to turn your ideas into reality.

You can learn even more competitions from the following video.

Gift ideas

You can take the simple route and give alcohol, coffee, perfumes or a set of car care products. Office supplies with individual inscriptions are popular among colleagues - diaries, pens, stands for mobile phones, mugs, business card holders. Gift certificates from various stores, cafes, and cinemas will always come to the rescue. And if you spend a little more time searching and purchasing original gifts, then in stores or using online services you can pick up ready-made goods or ideas for a surprise. For example, slippers - tanks, key holders or mugs in the form of grants, a camouflage belt for walking or fishing with compartments for beer cans, hats with a “visor” in the shape of a beard. These are just a few examples from the huge number of existing proposals.

Competitions for February 23rd for a corporate party are cool at the table: competitions for quick wits

Corporate parties exist not only to congratulate each other on the holiday. As a rule, such meetings help you get to know your colleagues better, get to know them outside of work, and communicate on topics that do not relate to career issues. In order for everyone to relax and enjoy spending time together, you can hold several interesting competitions right at the table.

For the competition game “Postcard for February 23rd” you will need a blank greeting card, a pencil and the participation of everyone. The task is to write congratulations to men according to the rules of the game “Cities”. That is, each next word must begin with the last letter of the previous one. Anyone who misses a move is out. The one who writes the last word wins.

Competition test “Who am I?” will be good entertainment for men. It is necessary to write different titles on the cards in advance, for example: intellectual, Casanova, sexual giant, lazy person, secret agent, polymath, etc. You can glue images onto the cards, it will be even more interesting. Then the men must draw a card at random and attach it to their heads or show it to everyone, but not look at it themselves. After this, the man is given 1-2 minutes to guess who he is. Those present cannot suggest or answer anything other than “yes” or “no.”

A creative approach to congratulating employees

If team relationships allow it, congratulating men can be comical, especially if among you there are masters of Photoshop and

skilled at composing a couple of rhyming lines (the costs are minimal, the main thing is the availability of creative abilities and time to complete such a project!)

First option. Make funny collage portraits of each employee, supplement them with funny epigrams or wish poems, print them on a color printer and give them as a gift! Or you can put all these photos into a single poster and hang it in a prominent place so that it attracts the attention of others - a great mood for the whole day will be guaranteed. The main thing is not to get too carried away with joking with your colleagues, remember - after all, March 8th is coming!

Second option. You can assign a title to each man for the characteristics of his character or for some distinctive features, or come up with various comic nominations and reward each one.

View ideas for organizing and holding comic nominations

Options for “titles” and nominations:

• "Mr. Charm"

• "Mr. Handsome"
• "Mister X"
• "Mr. Bean"
• "Heart Stealer"
• "Best Biceps"
• “Tough guys can do anything!”
• “Soul of the company”, etc.

Intellectual competitions

Surely everyone is accustomed to the fact that only erudite people can take part in intellectual competitions. On the one hand, this is true. Most intellectual events are designed to identify the most erudite person. But when it comes to a holiday, especially one dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day, intellectual demands can be combined with humor and cool tasks.

The questions compiled for each round should be comic riddles. Next, we propose to consider one interesting option for an intellectual competition designed for high school seniors. But in principle, if you take it as a basis, you will be able to create an interesting game for a corporate party.

Representatives of the stronger sex must be divided into 2 teams. Each team chooses a captain and comes up with a name. Then the 1st round begins. In any intellectual game, the first round is the “warm-up”. The facilitator will ask questions, and the teams will take turns answering them. For example, this question: “how many spoons of porridge does a hungry soldier eat on an empty stomach?” Answer: one spoon. Logic comes into play - the second spoon will no longer be taken on an empty stomach.

Or this question: “What does it mean to dress out of turn?” Of course, men immediately begin to answer that this is a disciplinary sanction. But only the answer will amaze everyone. This is a dispute between women in a fashion boutique over the latest dresses from the new collection.

Next, the teams get a short break, and then the 2nd round of brainstorming begins. Teams will be asked questions that must be answered within 30 seconds. If the correct answer is not given by both teams, the presenter moves on to the next question. When composing questions for the 2nd round, it is necessary to move away from jokes a little and force the players to think a little. Here, for example, is the question: “You can’t see it with your eyes, you can’t take it with your hands, and without it you won’t go on the attack. What are we talking about? The correct answer is the battle cry - “Hurray!”

At the end of the 2nd round, there is another break, after which the players proceed to the 3rd stage of the game called “erudite lotto”. The host asks each player one question with four possible answers. The participant must answer correctly, thereby bringing his team 1 point. Accordingly, if each team has 5 players, the total number of questions should be 10. At the end of the 3rd round, the presenter counts the points and announces the winning team. They are awarded medals. And then the players of both teams are given gifts.

Entertainment for children's party

Everyone knows that Defender of the Fatherland Day is a holiday celebrated by representatives of the stronger sex of all ages. Even for young boys attending kindergartens, matinees are organized, where mothers are invited as spectators and fathers as assistants to future soldiers.

That is why parents are invited to help the presenter, who, if necessary, will be able to calm their child so that the entertainment program is not disrupted.

And most importantly, when drawing up a program, you should never use complex competitions or competitions. The tasks should be easy so that children can cope with them.

Let's sit on a chair. A simple and most popular competition in kindergartens. Chairs are placed around in the number of 1 less than the number of participants. To the sound of cheerful and playful music, children walk around the chairs, dance, and when the melody stops, they must sit down in the empty seats. The one who is left without a chair leaves the game.

Menu selection

Given the nature of the holiday, the dishes for the most part should be “masculine”. Definitely meat. In the form of sliced ​​and hot. If this is a holiday in nature, by the way, there will be barbecue, smoked chicken, grilled sausages, kupaty or chicken wings, and pilaf. Don't forget about spices and sauces! However, if a large feast is not planned, you can please men by ordering pizza, Japanese dishes or delicious snacks from the restaurant.

To go with vodka - salads and preserves, snack sandwiches, tartlets and rolls of ham and eggplant with cheese. For beer - croutons with cheese sauce, pig ears and tails, dried squid, and fish, of course.

“The most loving man”

Two volunteers are needed to participate in this competition. They are given a task: they need to come up with as many kind words as possible that they would say to their beloved girls. While the guys are thinking hard, the rest can be invited to dance. The joke is that the guys believe that they will say these words to their partners, but in fact, they stand against each other and make these affectionate remarks addressed to each other, while saying their names (it’s funnier). For example: “Seryozha, my beloved,” and in response: “Olezhek, my sweetie!” All those present, after a lot of friendly “ha-ha-ha,” choose the guy who is most sophisticated in affectionate epithets. The prize is the “Most Loving Man” badge.

Competition “Three Olives for Cinderella” (for the most dexterous)

Every man is a prince for his beloved. And princes, as you know, are ready to do various crazy things for the sake of love: find rejuvenating apples, fight a dragon or defeat a giant.

Of course, you won’t have to do any of the above. But it will be necessary to show your dexterity. Three “princes” and three “Cinderellas” (preferably, these are couples in love) participate in the competition. The girls are given an empty saucer in one hand, and a tall glass of water in which three olives are floating in the other. Young people receive sushi chopsticks and a task: use these chopsticks to get three olives onto a plate. In this case, the olives should not be damaged: they should not be pricked on sticks, crushed too much, or pulled out only with the help of sticks. The one who does it the fastest and meets all the requirements becomes the winner.

Competition No. 9. "Lucky Lottery"

All interested men can take part in the lottery. The presenter distributes a piece of paper with a number to everyone present. He has other leaves with the same numbers in his hat. A huge wooden box contains gifts for the men you love. Some of them are expensive and some are cheap. For example, the bag might contain a lighter, a ballpoint pen and a diary. Or maybe a bottle of whiskey, a beautiful scarf or purse. The presenter takes out a gift and a piece of paper with a number from the hat. The one who has this number receives a gift. So every employee in the office will receive some kind of gift. It depends on how lucky you are. But the main thing is that everyone will have a good mood.

Cool competitions for corporate parties on February 23 at the table: erudition competitions

The winner will be the team whose front note turns out to be the most original and funny.

For each competition submitted, in case of winning, the team receives 1 point.

Competitions in nature

If the holiday is organized outdoors, there are even more opportunities for a fun celebration. And the competitions themselves can be as simple as possible, not requiring global preparation.

Outdoor fight

Participants are asked to be divided into 2 teams. For convenience, each team should have its own color. And each participant receives a ball of the desired color. On command, all men must inflate their balloons, tie them and secure them at the waist. At the signal from the leader, the teams must engage in battle. You cannot hit your opponent with your arms and legs: you can only work with your waist, with a balloon attached to it. The winner is the team that bursts all the opponent's balloons first.

Relay races

Each team is invited to 3 participants. Opposite each team is a table with a full corked bottle, a shot glass and lemon slices on a plate. On command, the participants begin the relay race: the first one opens the bottle, pours the contents into a stack, and passes the baton to the other. The second one drinks the contents, and the third one snacks on lemon. And so the participants change places until everyone has a drink and a snack. The competition can be transformed. For example, say that only one team has alcohol in the bottle, the rest have water. But everyone must wince when drinking a drink - those who do not do this receive penalty points. In the end it turns out that everyone had water. Those who wince the best win.

The second relay race could be the famous “Difficult Course” competition. Participants must wear fins on their feet and special swimming goggles on their eyes. In this form, the participant runs to the table, pours it into a glass, drinks it, and returns. The team that completed it first won.

Rhinoceros

Men in this competition will be the rhinoceros, women will be the target. A horn is attached to the man's forehead: you can simply take an adhesive plaster, pierce it with a button on the back side and stick it on. The horn should be symbolic. Women should have an inflated balloon attached to their waist at hip level. The rhinoceros must pierce the ball with its horn. All this is done without hands. The one who does it first wins.

My half

Participants in the competition must be divided into male-female pairs. Couples lock elbows on one side with each other. That is, each participant has one free hand. The facilitator asks the couple to do something, and the couple must behave as one. Those who are as harmonious as possible will win. What tasks might there be: put on a hat, put on lipstick, eat a slice of lemon, open champagne, etc.

Other

And a few more examples of simple competitions that can be held on the street.

An easy game “The Moscow Art Theater is crying”: participants go out onto the site, they are given a task - as soon as the presenter names a famous sculpture, monument, the participants must depict it. For example, the presenter says: “Statue of Liberty” or “Apollo”, each participant becomes this statue. The jury assigns points. The one who was more expressive wins.

“Eh, weather forecaster.” The story is this: the weather forecaster got sick, he needed to be on camera, but his voice suddenly disappeared. Someone else, a prompter, will speak for him, but the sick person himself must open his mouth and gesticulate artistically. As a rule, it turns out to be a lot of fun. Several “forecaster-prompter” pairs take part, and the most expressive one wins.

"Parodist". Everything is simple - participant No. 1 is in the center of the site. As soon as the music starts, he must perceive it as a phonogram, and himself as an artist. The brighter it turns out, the more points it will score. The nuance is that unexpectedly one soundtrack ends and another begins. For each participant – 3 fragments of the phonogram. First he was, say, Kirkorov, then suddenly Yegor Creed, and then Tina Turner. The most artistic participant wins.

What funny competitions can you choose for men and boys on February 23?

Holding a holiday dedicated to February 23 at a school or kindergarten requires the selection of competitions for both boys and their fathers. It’s better for dads to choose simple tasks that won’t require much effort from them. After all, men came to enjoy the event, and not run around the entire hall. Children should be offered more playful and fun competitions. Therefore, when choosing competitions for boys on February 23, it is recommended to pay attention to tasks that both children and teenagers can cope with. But cool competitions for dads on February 23 should be drawn up taking into account the comfort and convenience of their implementation by adult men.

Funny competition for boys for February 23 “Pirate Adventures”

The host takes the adventurers aside. At this time, his assistant lays out (hides) treasures in the hall or classroom. Each of the pirate boys must find the items indicated by the leader. The more things he can find, the higher the probability of winning. The competition can be held in several stages if the boys find an equal number of objects. The game is repeated until a winner is determined.

Cool children's competition “March of Soldiers” for boys

The boys line up in a column one after another. On command, the music is turned on, and the leader begins to either march or dance. Children must completely repeat his movements. After the music ends, the boy who is out of order or repeating the movements incorrectly is expelled from the group. The competition continues until there is only one child left.
