The heads of enterprises, to the best of their ideas about joint organized recreation, amazed the imagination of those present with the scale of the events and became heroes of their time. Gradually, the penchant for scale was balanced by “production necessity”, and today corporate parties themselves and music competitions for corporate events are an important component of the life of the company, which, nevertheless, is associated with great responsibility.
What was it like 30 years ago?
The idea of spending leisure time together is much more time-consuming than the word “corporate party” that is already familiar to many. The scenarios for such events were not varied, and often everything happened like this:
- At the trade union meeting, a person responsible for holding the holiday was appointed (he, in fact, was the “chief out of breath”, who gave instructions and controlled their implementation).
- Members of the team received tasks to organize the feast (some purchased food, others had to impress with their own culinary masterpieces).
- It was necessary to indicate who the main speaker would be (the speech was prepared especially carefully, improvisation was allowed only occasionally).
- The “cultural sector” took over the entertainment side.
Without interrupting the festive meal. Competitions that can be held at the New Year's table
"Funny toasts in alphabetical order." This competition is well suited for those cases when all the standard wishes have already been made, and raising glasses just like that is not interesting. Each participant in the feast must make a toast that begins with a certain letter, for example:
- Z - “Good health in the New Year, so that we can gather at more than one corporate event!”;
- E - “If we don’t eat enough, then at least we’ll get drunk! For this we will empty our glasses!”
You can start the game in a circle so that everyone gets the letters in turn, or you can prepare cards with the alphabet in advance, put them in a box and let everyone draw them out at random. The winner will be the one who, in the opinion of the majority of those present, will make the funniest or most original toast (one or more).
“How little you know about me.” All competitors should be given pens and small sheets of paper. Everyone should write a fact about themselves that is little known among their colleagues, something that is usually not customary to talk about at work. For example, during school years someone broke a glass with a ball. Some were destined for a career as a famous football player, but due to an injury they had to enroll in the Faculty of Economics. All notes need to be rolled up and placed in a box, and then taken out one by one and read aloud. Those present must guess who they are talking about. The one who turns out to be the most insightful will win.
Choose competitions that everyone can participate in
"What is my name?". For this entertainment, you need to prepare in advance small signs with interesting and not very simple words: for example, “excavator”, “charm”, “multi-cooker”, etc. Each participant in a corporate party should receive a sign at the beginning of the evening, which can be attached to their forehead or back. The players' task is to find out as quickly as possible what is written on their sign. To do this, you need to ask everyone around you questions to which they will answer “yes” or “no.” The winner will be the one who quickly understands what “nickname” he got.
Advice. Another version of this game is to write the names of famous actors, singers, athletes, etc. on signs.
“Everyone sings!” All those present are united into several teams. It would be good if each of them included representatives of different generations. Next, everyone together chooses a common theme: seasons, love, animals, etc. The essence of the task: take turns remembering theme songs and humming several lines from them. The team that lasts the longest will win.
"Remember all". Another board game for which you will need to prepare in advance pens or pencils and sheets of paper with categories written on them: “city”, “country”, “plant”, “female/male name”, etc. Those present can participate in the competition individually or in teams. Having received the leaves in their hands, they need 1-2 minutes. write as many words as possible for each category. The winner is determined by simple counting.
Dance
Games at a corporate party in a team should lift your spirits and create a special atmosphere. Any number of people willing are invited to participate in the competition. They are given the task: to write a certain word or number in the air with part of their body. You need to do this with the fifth point, carefully drawing the details of the sign in the air. While the participants are completing the task, it is best to turn on erotic music for striptease. Members of the team who remain as spectators will watch an extremely funny picture.
“Heart of a Beauty”
Only men participate in the game, who are invited to sing the lines: “The heart of a beauty is prone to betrayal and change, like the wind in May.” The leader performs these lines together with the participants, and then offers to replace the first word with a gesture, while all other words are sung as usual. Then, one by one, all words are replaced. “Heart” - the right hand is applied to the chest, “beauty” - hands describe the female figure 90-60-90, “prone” - bow, “treason” - horns, “change” - shake your hand, imitating the ringing of a bell, “wind” – blow or whistle, “may” – raise your arms and turn your hands. The game is played at a fast pace.
"Deaf Phone"
We all played “Deaf Telephone” as children. Do you remember how fun it was? Why not borrow corporate party games from your childhood? It is best to choose words for participants that are complex and close to the profession. Participants can be confused by words that sound like obscene expressions. The longer the “deaf phone” chain, the more unexpected the last player’s answer will be.
Music competitions
Scene “Clip-song”
This is the most creative musical fun for a New Year's corporate evening.
Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Father Frost, the Christmas tree, the Snow Maiden... and simple attributes that will help the players dress up (beads, hats, felt boots, scarves...)
The task is to make a corporate video for the song “The Little Christmas Tree Is Cold in Winter.” We need an operator who will shoot a video clip on camera.
Participants, to the accompaniment of songs, begin to depict all the actions that are sung about: “the little gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree” - the hero is jumping, “they hung the beads” - the team hangs the beads on an improvised living “Christmas tree”.
You can divide into two teams (employees and female employees) and each will shoot their own video. It is advisable to display the results on a large screen and compare them. The winners will be awarded with branded souvenirs or applause.
Competition "Lazy Dancing"
The players sit in a circle on chairs and begin to dance to the cheerful New Year's music and song. But these are strange dances - no one gets up from their seats!
At the command of the leader, they dance with different parts of the body:
- First we dance with our elbows!
- Then shoulders
- legs,
- fingers,
- lips,
- eyes, etc.
The rest choose the coolest dance.
Upside down song
This is a comic game that you can play at any time during the holiday. The presenter recites lines from a New Year/winter song, but with the words in reverse. The task of everyone is who can guess the original faster and sing it. The person who guesses correctly is given a chip (candy wrapper, candy, cone...) so that later it will be easier to count the winner in the entire competition.
The lines might look something like this:
— The birch tree died in the steppe. - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree. - The old month is slow, nothing will happen for a long time. - The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon. — White, white steam rose on the ground. — Blue-blue frost lay on the wires. - One gray donkey, one gray donkey. - Three white horses, three white horses. — A brave white wolf was sitting on a baobab tree. - The cowardly gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree. - Keep quiet, Santa Claus, where are you going? - Tell me, Snow Maiden, where have you been? - Read me a book about 1 hour. - I’ll sing you a song about five minutes. — The huge palm tree is hot in the summer. – The little Christmas tree is cold in winter. — The weights were removed and left the chain. - They hung the beads and began to dance in a circle. “I was running away from you, Snow Maiden, and wiped away a few sweet smiles.” - I was running after you, Santa Claus. I shed a lot of bitter tears. - Oh, it’s hot, it’s hot, warm you up! Warm you and your camel. - Oh, frost-frost, don’t freeze me! Don't freeze me, my horse. - Your worst acquisition is me. - My best gift is you.
Song competition “Musical hat of Santa Claus”
Attributes: put words from New Year's songs in the hat.
The players pass it around in a circle to the accompaniment of music. When the music stops, the person who received the hat at that moment takes out a card with the word and must remember/sing the piece of the song where it appears.
You can play in teams. Then the hat is passed from representative to representative of each team. You can limit the time it takes to complete a task and reward the team for every guess they make.
If you’re not sure that your guests are so quick-thinking, write not just one word, but a short phrase. Then it will be easier to remember the song!
Dance by candlelight
A dynamic, but at the same time very calm and gentle dance competition.
Play slow music and encourage couples to light sparklers and dance. The couple whose fire burns longer wins and will receive a prize.
If you want to add spice to your dance, choose tango!
An old song in a new way
Print the lyrics of famous (not even New Year's) songs and prepare musical accompaniment without words (karaoke music).
Invite those who wish to sing them in the voices of various characters.
This could be Karabas Barabas, the Snow Maiden, an evil policeman, a kind Baba Yaga, and even your boss.
Quietly loud
A well-known song is chosen, which all guests begin to sing in chorus.
On the command “Quiet!” sing a song to themselves. At the command “Loud!” out loud again.
And since everyone sang at their own pace, the loud choir begins with different words. And this is repeated several times, amusing everyone.
"Let's shake hands"
Games at a corporate party for getting to know each other are usually held at the very beginning of the feast. Shaking each other's hands at the first meeting has been a tradition for a long time, and everyone knows about it. The entire team needs to be divided into two teams. A competitive spirit will help you make acquaintances quickly. To the music, people sitting at the table will have to shake hands in a chain. The team finishing first will be considered the winner.
Word games
You can diversify the festive feast with shouting or repeating games.
“We will celebrate the Year of the Rat!”
The presenter (Santa Claus) reads the text, all the guests unanimously shout the phrase: “We will celebrate the Year of the Rat!”:
- Good holiday New Year Celebrated by our people. A nice reason to shout... We will celebrate the Year of the Rat!
- The Year of the Pig is ending, He is slowly saying goodbye to us. Let's call New Year... We will celebrate the Year of the Rat!
- Santa Claus has been storing up gifts for all of us for a long time. We are ready to receive them... We will celebrate the Year of the Rat!
New Year's “Riddles-answers”
The host reads the text, the guests guess and shout in chorus the words that match the rhyme:
- Let's play pranks together: Let's shout loudly and fervently! I will read a poem to cheer you up... (mood)!
- The glorious holiday of the New Year is very loved by all the people, We believe that our beloved will seriously come to us... (Santa Claus)!

Shouting and repeating games diversify the festive feast and allow you to splash out emotions
The cost of a music program for a corporate event
Duration - 3 hours.
If the banquet hall (office, loft, cafe) has sound and video equipment, one presenter and several assistants are enough (their number depends on the number of teams):
up to 50 people - 60,000 rubles from 70 to 100 people - 85,000 rubles (if there is no sound equipment, the cost increases) over 100 people - individual calculation
Additional services:
- DJ with a set of sound equipment - 19,000 rubles. (holds short dance breaks between rounds and a final disco).
- Photographer - 3500 rub. at one o'clock.
- Design of a photo zone with a set of photo props (many options at different prices)
- The show program is selected individually.
Interactive team-building program for music lovers
“Music Connected Us” differs from all programs in that each tour is connected to music to one degree or another. Songs, anthems, musicals, remixes, TV screensavers, soundtracks, re-covers, backing tracks - all this and much more will be here. The organizers tried to cover music of all genres, eras, styles and countries, so that each participant at some point could hear “their” melody and help the team earn points.
It is better to entrust the division into teams to a random draw. If people of the same generation who know and love music of a certain genre gather at one table, the whole essence of the event will be lost. Music should connect people of the older generation and youth, lovers of pop music, classics, rap and rock and roll, fans of hits from different decades.
The title “Music has connected us” is a phrase from the most famous song of “Mirage”. Firstly, “music” - the entire scenario is built around a musical theme, which is played out in as many different ways as possible: in addition to listening comprehension, participants will have to see music, unravel melodies, and show songs. Secondly, “we are connected” - the emphasis is on the team-building effect (everyone present takes part in the game, and not 2-3 “willing” from the audience).
How is a musical corporate event going?
You can discuss different formats for the program with the game organizers.
Duration - 3 hours. You can play first (only drinks and light snacks are on the tables), then just freely communicate during the banquet.
You can distribute the game blocks between serving cold appetizers, hot dishes and desserts. Everything is discussed individually.
The game scenario is varied. Most rounds involve all teams simultaneously performing the same tasks at their tables and simultaneously counting the results. In some rounds (individual competitions), 1-2 representatives from different tables take part, who will have to earn points for the common treasury of their team. There are also mixed competitions, in which teams participate as a whole, but alternately.
The presenter does not waste time counting points. The results of each round are summed up by assistants, the result is announced several times during the game so that the teams can observe each other’s successes.
“Not by the day, but by the hour”
Two fake watch dials with moving hands are prepared for the competition participants. The players' task is to indicate the desired time on the dial at a certain point, called the leading point. The facilitator's questions may vary depending on the situation. The time difference with Moscow is indicated below (written on the cards for each participant). So, in Moscow it is noon, 12 noon, and in the capitals of other states? Athens - minus 1 hour; Berlin - minus 2 hours; Buenos Aires - minus 6 hours; London - minus 3 hours; New York - minus 8 hours; Paris – minus 2 hours; Tokyo – plus 6 hours; Sydney – plus 7 hours; Riga – minus 1 hour; Vladivostok – plus 7 hours; Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky – plus 9 hours.
Block script structure
The presenters have a script that has been verified to the smallest detail, in which tasks that are as different from each other as possible have been selected. Some use props, a projector with a screen, and printed handouts. In others, a musical fragment and a question voiced by the presenter are enough to make a decision.
The number of competitions and the essence of tasks are selected depending on the number of players and teams. Some blocks are cut in advance or added by an experienced presenter. The game should be fun and meet the goals of your event.
Team
Competition - relay race "Felt boots of Santa Claus"
Attributes: 2 pairs of extra-large felt boots (or one).
This game is played around the tree or around chairs in teams.
Those playing, at the driver’s signal or the sound of music, put on large felt boots and race around the tree (chairs). If you only have one pair of such winter shoes, then let the teams compete against the clock.
With felt boots you can also come up with many different relay races: divide into teams and run, passing them on to each other as a team; carry with outstretched arms so as not to drop; put on felt boots and run backwards (it’s difficult to do this in big ones), etc. Imagine!
Don't drop the lump
Attributes: “snow” balls made from crumpled paper; large spoons (wooden possible).
Progress of the relay competition: two teams of equal numbers gather. At the command of the driver (or the sound of music), the first participants must quickly run around the room back and forth, carrying a lump in a spoon and trying not to drop it. Don’t choose too long routes - just make a circle around the tree.
The difficulty is that the paper is light and tends to fall off to the floor all the time.
They play until the last person running in the team. Whoever is first wins!
The competition can be held in a modern version. Use flower buds instead of snowballs, and smartphones instead of spoons.
The office wishes you a Happy New Year
Attributes: 2-3 sheets of whatman paper (depending on how many teams are playing), newspapers, magazines, glue and scissors.
In 10-15 minutes, teams must cut out words from the paper they are offered, paste them onto a piece of paper and compose an original New Year’s greeting to those present.
It should be a small, funny text. You can supplement the poster with clippings of pictures from the suggested magazines.
The most creative congratulation wins.
Whoever ends up with beads longer than their opponents, that team wins.
Gather a team or “Friendly Mosaic”
The competition requires little preparation. You need to photograph the teams, print the photo on a printer and cut it into small pieces. The teams' task is to put together a photo of their team in the minimum amount of time.
Those who complete their puzzle faster win.
It is advisable that the photographs be large.
The snowman turns...
Two teams. Each has 4 participants and 8 balls (blue and white are possible). Each one has the large letters S_N_E_G_O_V_I_K written on it. The snowman “melts” and turns... into other words.
The driver asks simple riddles, and the players build guessed words from balls with letters.
- Grows on the face. - Nose.
- Banned from work. - Dream.
- Candles are made from it. - Wax.
- Prepared for the winter. - Hay.
- Orange is preferred to tangerine. - Juice.
- Difficult to get up in the morning. - Eyelids.
- Where did the office romance happen? - Movie.
- Snow woman's colleague. - Snowman.
The fastest players get points, and those with the most points win.
“Don’t take pictures all evening!”
Surely every man in the team will come to the corporate event in a formal suit, and women will wear dresses for the occasion. Such outfits seem too strict, they are not entirely suitable for fun, and the dark colors of the suits are not at all pleasing to the eye. This competition will help you add excitement to your business image. It is best suited for men. Women in this case will act as spectators.
The most unusual and colorful wardrobe items are placed in a large cardboard box: hats, glasses, carnival masks, clown noses, skirts and much more. To the music, the competition participants will pass the box to each other, and as soon as its sound stops, without looking, they will choose one thing for themselves. It is the loser who puts it on himself. The game is played as a knockout game. Only one of the participants will be the winner and will be left without an addition to the costume.
Participants in the competition will have to wear all purchased items until the end of the evening. Surely it will be fun to see a security officer in a spectacular bra, and a plant director wearing a children's cap on his head.
“Naduvalovka”
This game can be played by 3-8 people. The presenter selects words from some “smart” book that are unknown to the players. Players write definitions for these words, trying to write as plausibly as possible (the presenter does not tell the true definition of the word in advance). Then all versions, including the correct one, are read out by the presenter. Players must choose the one that everyone thinks is correct (they cannot choose their own versions). The one who guesses the correct definition of the word is given one point. And the one whose definition is believed by a certain number of players is given two points for each “inflated” partner. For example, the word “AKAZHU”. During one game the following definitions were given: French architect, mango dye, character from Polynesian legends, etc. The most popular was “a frequent exclamation of Mozambican housewives,” and the correct definition of this word was “a tropical tree, the same as cashew.”
Fun party in nature
Employee transformation
If the budget and company policy allows, use role-playing games with dressing up, face painting, etc. to strengthen team spirit.
All attributes must be of high quality, so invite a make-up artist and rent professional costumes. For one day, members of your team can become Vikings, cowboys, modern fantasy characters, a rescue team, etc.
If the result of the transformation looks professional, this alone will set an overall positive mood for the entire holiday.
Outdoor competitions
Fresh summer air and wide open spaces of nature allow you to actively relax while taking part in cool corporate competitions.
Walking letter "A"
You will need a wooden structure in the shape of the letter A and some ropes tied to it.
One employee climbs onto the horizontal connecting bar of the letter, the rest use alternating tension on the ropes to set the letter in motion. She must walk. Several teams play.
The winner is the one that worked more harmoniously and covered the distance faster.
Tumbleweed
Employees hold in their hands a long, narrow canvas, with jumpers made of dense material attached under it at equal distances (for relative balance). Small round holes are made on the canvas.
The players' task is to roll the tennis ball along the surface without losing it in any of the trap spaces.
Blind maze
A labyrinth is drawn on the ground. The player’s task is to cover the distance, blindfolded, without going beyond the outlined limits. Colleagues help, each of whom takes turns saying only one word.
Happy snake
Team members, preferably 5-10 people, stand behind each other and carefully squeeze a block between their stomach and the back of the player in front (you can use cling film spools).
The task is to go the distance without losing a single link, otherwise you will have to return to the start.
Football in pairs
An ordinary game of football, only the players are tied together in pairs with ropes 2-2.5 m long. The goalkeeper is tied to the goal with a rope. Since the players' maneuvers are limited, they have to work harmoniously and very quickly as a team.
Search for treasure
An adventure team game in which you will need to show dexterity, strength and ingenuity.
Hide the treasure in advance and give the players a card with the first task. As the team completes tasks, they will reach a treasure, which could be, for example, a bag of candy.
Garbage removal speed competition
If you organize a holiday entirely on your own, the final stage can be this useful competition. The winner will receive a themed gift: a set of household gloves, a towel with soap, etc.
Tatiana's Day Scenario and ideas for holding
Celebration script for a student company
Scenario of the festive program for Student's Day
Quiz
The focus of the quiz can be anything - literary competitions, a comic evening or serious competitions. Not only students, but also anyone who wants to can take part.
You can, for example, compose a series of questions in a particular discipline - literature, mathematics, physics, or ask riddles to test your ingenuity and resourcefulness. You can also ask those present to remember actresses bearing the name Tatyana, or literary heroines, ask them to come up with as many diminutives as possible for the name Tatyana.
You can ask questions orally, or you can prepare cards with questions, photographs of actresses or portraits in advance.
Time Machine
Give those present paper, pens and envelopes and ask them to write letters to themselves. Then put all the letters in a box, which is securely sealed and given to someone for safekeeping. Any period for opening letters can be set - five, ten years, etc.
Theater competition
Participants receive task cards. According to this task, they must read a nursery rhyme in some style, for example, “Our Tanya is crying loudly.” Depending on the task, you need to read this poem in the spirit of a telephone conversation, or a love confession, or an oratorical speech, etc.
Who ate the carrots?
Participants stand in a circle, the driver is in the center. Participants pass each other a carrot (apple, banana, etc.) behind their backs, while also trying to bite off a piece while the driver does not see. The driver must guess who has the carrot now. If he guessed right, he changes places with the one who had the carrot. If the participants managed to eat the carrot before the driver guessed where it was, he must complete some task.
Fortune telling from Tatiana
We can tell those present that all Tatianas can accurately predict the future for anyone who wants to. Usually they use the novel “Eugene Onegin” to tell fortunes, asking questions: “what happened,” “what will happen,” “how the heart will calm down.”
Guinness show
You can hold a competition to see who, for example, has the longest hair, the thinnest waist, etc. At the end of the competition, everyone is awarded the title of “best.”
Forged chains
Participants are divided into two teams. Both teams stretch out in a chain and, holding hands tightly, stand opposite each other, at a distance of about six steps. One of the teams chooses one representative, and he tries to break the chain with a running start. If he succeeds, he takes any participant to his team, if not, then he himself remains in another team.
It is necessary to think about the decoration of the holiday
Interesting ideas for holiday decoration
Newspaper
You can make a comic newspaper by pasting cuttings from newspapers and magazines, and in place of the photographs, paste photos of friends, teachers, etc.
Use children's photographs; you can invite others to guess which is which by comparing children's and adult photos.
For the newspaper you will need whatman paper, color magazines or newspapers, felt-tip pens, paints, scissors, glue. You can make a wooden frame for the newspaper, on which you can stick anything you like - buttons, paper clips, beans, beads, etc.
You can draw a poster. It will differ from a newspaper in that they do not write on it, but draw, mostly funny pictures. You can stick them on too. The flight of fancy is not limited here.
Butterflies
You can make butterflies from candy wrappers and scatter them on shelves, attach them to curtains, or hang them on a chandelier. This is done like this: candy wrappers are collected in an accordion to form corrugated strips, then they are folded together in threes and fastened in the middle with a small paper ring.
Asterisks
Cut out stars from foil, colored or gift paper. They can be pasted on walls, on cabinets, hung on the ceiling, etc. d.
Toothpaste
Draw patterns or pictures on windows, glass cabinet doors, or any smooth surface with toothpaste. You can use colored paste. The advantage is that it is then easily washed off, and when it dries, you can draw on top of it with markers, and then all this will also wash off without effort. You can sprinkle glitter on the paste before it dries.

Rope for the brave
This is a competition exclusively for adults. The guests are divided into two equal teams.
At the driver’s signal and to the accompaniment of lively music, the players take off parts of their clothes in order to knit a long, very long rope from them.
When “Stop!” sounds, the visibly undressed participants begin to measure the length of their clothing chains.
The longest one wins!

Reverse Snow Queen
Inventory: ice cubes from the freezer.
Several contenders are selected for the crown of the Snow Queen. They pick up an ice cube and, on command, must melt it as quickly as possible, turning it into water.
You can give one at a time, or several ice cubes, putting them in bowls.
The first one to complete the task wins. She is awarded the title of "The Hottest Snow Queen".

Will Cinderella go to the New Year's ball?
In front of the two participants, mixed beans, peppers, rose hips, and peas are placed in a heap on plates (you can use any ingredients). The number of grains is small so that the game does not flow for too long (can be checked experimentally before the holiday).
After the players are blindfolded, they begin to sort the fruits into piles by touch. Whoever manages it first will go to the ball!
. If you haven’t ordered gifts for your employees yet, it’s time to choose!
“Answer the question quickly”
Participants sit in a circle. The presenter will be in the center and will ask questions to which participants are given 1-2 seconds to answer. The questions are so elementary that you don’t really need to think about them, but as a fact, many are lost due to the fact that little time is given. Questions: What day comes after Friday? What was the name of the first president of Ukraine? How many hands do you have? How old are you? What is your name? What city do you live in? You are bald? What letter comes after I? What is the year now? What is your father's name? What's 2 2? What number comes after 8? What month is it? How many children do you have? What street do you live on? What are you sitting on? To a man: did you wear a dress today? To a woman: did you shave today? What color is the sky?
Table
Get rid of your significant other
Competitions and entertainment for the New Year can lead to anything, so it wouldn’t hurt to come up with explanations for different situations for your other half in advance. Participants take out forfeits, which describe a specific situation for which they have to come up with witty excuses. Situations may be like this:
- there are traces of lipstick on the collar of the shirt;
- a napkin with the number of some Tamara was found in his trouser pocket;
- the wife came home wearing men's shoes;
- what's a man's tie doing in your purse?;
- the husband is wearing his underpants inside out;
- I receive an SMS on my phone saying “thank you for the hot evening”, etc.
The author of the most ingenious excuse should be rewarded with a prize.
Treasure for the boss
This competition will show how well the boss knows his team. The host receives one personal item from all participants in the feast and puts them in a box or bag. Naturally, the boss should not see this. Then the presenter invites the boss to take one thing out of the bag and guess the name of its owner.
Intonation
Between active fun and games, you shouldn’t forget about table competitions at the New Year’s corporate party, because they help restore a little strength, but at the same time do not let the team at the table get bored.
The presenter prepares several simple phrases, for example, “The storm covers the sky with darkness.” The participants in the game must take turns pronouncing it, but in their own way, giving different intonations: interrogative, exclamatory, sarcastic, sad, angry, etc. The player whose imagination in choosing intonation has dried up is eliminated from the game. The winner is the one who came up with the last pronunciation option.
You can change this competition at the table a little: the presenter himself tells each participant the intonation with which he should say the phrase. The one who was the most convincing wins.
Other ideas for interesting competitions
Creative competitions
Particularly interesting will be competitions in which guests will be able to show their creative talents.
Competition “I made him out of what was there”
For this cool New Year's competition for a corporate party, an equal number of men and women is required.
Pairs are formed from them (it is advisable that each “Snow Maiden” choose her own “Santa Claus”). Each couple is provided with details and attributes - a box with New Year's tinsel and decorations. The task of women is to dress up their partner in a limited time, making him a first-class Santa Claus.
Then the most interesting part begins - each “Snow Maiden” introduces and advertises its Santa Claus to the jury. The most creative couple wins.
Portrait gallery
Participants sit in a circle. Everyone receives a piece of paper and a pencil. The task of the players is to draw a portrait of any of those present
.
When the drawings are ready, everyone begins to pass their creations around until they reach their owners again. During the transfer, everyone who receives someone else's drawing must guess who is depicted on it and write the name of this person on the back of the sheet. The artist with the most correct answers wins.
Competition “Rewriting History”
Players form teams of 3-4 people. Each team is given its own list of famous historical figures from different times. The total number of historical names is at least eight people.
The task of the players is to create a funny story with the participation of all the characters within a specified time. To make the stories even funnier, you can add cartoon or fairy-tale characters to historical figures.
Competitions for the boss
Among the games and competitions for corporate parties for the New Year, make room for jokes about your boss.
Fun “As I say, so it will be!”
The presenter prepares for the boss important questions necessary for his daily work (for example, “with what thoughts do you go to the accounting department?”) or questions from the series “What would you do?” (for example, what caption would you write under a photo of your deputy in a men's magazine?).
There should be as many questions as there are subordinates present at the corporate party.
Each of them is given a pen and a piece of paper, and they write one answer to the expected questions. You can write anything - catchphrases, lines from songs, jokes, etc. Then all the answers are put into a hat and mixed.
The presenter asks questions, and the boss blindly reads the drawn-out answers of his employees.
Game “Treasure from my subordinates”
This test will test how well the boss knows his subordinates. He leaves the room, and the employees put one of their things or accessories into the box (for example, a watch, a tie, a mobile phone case, etc.).
The boss’s task is to determine which of his colleagues owns this or that thing.
, which the presenter takes out of the box. To make this competition more interesting, you can come up with a system of penalties for incorrect answers - performing some fun tasks.
Intellectual games for corporate events
Table quiz
Prepare special quizzes to encourage conversation at the event tables, rather than seeing “side-by-side conversations.”
Divide the tables into teams; the program can be chosen in accordance with the theme of the event or various facts from life. Give a time limit and let the fastest table with the most correct answers win. Forward!

Two truths, one lie
One participant tells two truths and one lie, and another person (or several) must guess where exactly the lie is.
Desert Island
Poll on which three items (or people) you would take with you to a desert island.
Birthday
Participants will have five minutes to complete this exercise in silence. Without saying a word, they must organize themselves by date of birth, from January 1st to December 31st. At the same time, you cannot say anything out loud or write down any numbers. It will take some quick thinking to figure out what month and day everyone was born in.
Virtual reality and game rooms
Modern technology is also part of many events and can be adapted to suit their theme and purpose. For example, a virtual trip with other participants or just some kind of game. In the case of “game rooms”, game consoles with football, various arcade games and “shooting games” are widely used.
This option is common at multi-day and large events, in recreation areas where people could relax from conversations, noise, traffic, light and gain strength with positive emotions for the future.
Avatars and virtual networking
Many people find it easier to introduce themselves to another person online than in person. Connecting participants via social media can reduce the common worry that no one knows anyone. Create, for example, a private event group on facebook or a chat on twitter so that people can get to know each other better.
Additionally, you can create an environment where guests can control and customize their own avatar to communicate in the virtual world. It's a fun way to get real and create conversation points. Networking in virtual reality is now possible!
Mystery
Let a group of participants (or several groups) solve a riddle together. There are thousands of them on the Internet. Watch them as they communicate and solve them. Do your best to keep groups separated and people not hanging out with their best friends.
