The main thing is to comply with our requirements for competitions.

Reflective corporate spirit!!!

Original, not hackneyed, like clothespins, make a mummy using toilet paper, hit a bottle with a pencil, etc. All this has already happened...

Competition "Kangaroo"
A volunteer is selected. One presenter takes him away and explains that he will have to depict a kangaroo with gestures, facial expressions, etc., but without making a sound, and everyone else must guess what kind of animal he is showing. At this time, the second presenter tells the audience that now the victim will show a kangaroo, but everyone must pretend that they do not understand what kind of animal is being shown to them. It is necessary to name any other animals, but not kangaroos. It should be something like: “Oh, so it’s jumping! So... it’s probably a rabbit. No!? That’s strange, well then it’s a monkey.” If after 5 minutes the imitator still does not rush at everyone shouting: “Can’t you guess a simple animal? I’ll show you again! Look!”, then he truly has nerves of steel. The goal of the game is to see the angry kangaroo!!!

Competition "Matches"
For the competition you need to take a plastic, iron (only light) or glass (but so as not to get hurt) ring with a diameter of about 2-2.5 cm and the most ordinary matches. Matches are distributed according to the number of participants (1 match in one hand), or rather in one mouth.
2 teams are needed, each with 7-10 people, each participant must take a match in his mouth in such a way as to pass the ring from one comrade to another.
Naturally, the team that finishes it faster wins.

Competition "Spoons"
Take a tablespoon for the same team (7-10 people). The point is that it needs to be transmitted in a strange way, namely, you put it on top of your pants or skirt, or dress (in general, under clothes) and take it out from below and as quickly as possible. The more participants, the funnier it is. And, by the way, it’s not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Verified. I had to go to another room... the jeans turned out to be too tight)))

I bring to your attention this birthday competition. I think in nature, in the company of colleagues and friends, it will certainly be relevant!
Competition "Wet roosters"
This competition is based on the Russian folk game " Cock-fights" Before the start of the game, a circle with a diameter of two meters is drawn (on the ground). Two players stand in it, holding in their hands plastic cups with water. beer, etc. Everyone presses their left leg. After the leader’s signal, the players, jumping on one leg, try to pour water on the opponent’s back. At the same time, you cannot leave the circle. The one who splashes water on his opponent first is considered the winner. You can play this way in teams (5 people each) - the winner in this case will be the “dry team”.
Happy Birthday tshirt.ru! I wish you a pleasant stay!

Competition "Tear off the Hat"
Two teams compete. A circle is drawn. The circle includes players, each of them left hand tied to the body, and on the head is a hat. The task is simple and difficult - to take off the enemy’s hat and not allow him to take off his own. For each cap removed, the team receives a point. The team with the most points is the winner!
sent by Irina Kuznetsova.

I propose the following competition for the company’s birthday, which brings the team together very well.
Competition "Hare"
The presenter makes a wish for all participants of various animals.
Then everyone needs to stand in a circle and put their hands on each other's shoulders. After which the presenter announces: now I will name the animals and as soon as someone standing here hears the name of the animal that I wished for him, he must immediately sit down, and everyone else must prevent him from doing this.
And the presenter begins to name the animals, but the whole point is that he called everyone the same thing, a hare, for example.
And when the presenter says: “Hare,” everyone sits down abruptly. A good mood is guaranteed! Tested several times!

Competition "MPS"
This requires one “dunno” - a victim. The rules are explained to him: he asks questions to the players in a circle, the players answer him “yes” or “no”. The task of the “dunno” is to guess who is hiding under the abbreviation MPS. Everyone stands in a circle, “Dunno” (he is in the center) begins to ask questions. The trick is that when answering the question “Is this a man?”, one player can say “yes”, and the next one can say “no” (because MPS is “My right neighbor”, and each player standing in the circle says about your neighbor on the right). Usually the “know-nothing” guesses who the MPS is when he starts asking the same question in a circle. But this happens, as a rule, on the fifteenth lap.
There is also a variation on the same theme: a sticker is glued to the “victim’s” forehead, on which any character is written - be it Alexander Pushkin, Pinocchio, or even the victim herself. You can mock them even more and call the victim a pumpkin or swine flu. The victim’s goal is to receive “yes/no” answers to his questions and guess as quickly as possible what is written on her forehead.

Competition "Noah's Ark"
The presenter writes in advance the names of the animals on pieces of paper (each creature has a pair: two hares, two giraffes, two elephants...), folds the pieces of paper and puts them in a hat. Each participant draws out “their purpose,” and the presenter announces that now they need to find their pair, but they cannot make sounds or speak. You need to use facial expressions and gestures to depict your animal and look for “one like yourself.” The first couple to reunite wins.
You can think of characteristic animals like a hare (show your ears - and you're done), but it's more interesting to come up with something less recognizable, like a hippopotamus or a lynx.

Competition "Bears - boom!"
It’s more interesting if no one (or the majority) in the company knows about the rules of the game. The presenter asks the participants to stand in a line, he himself becomes the first and declares: “You are bears. The bears go for a walk (everyone is waddling in place), the bears are tired - they sat down to rest (the “bears” squat down), rested - they went again. They walked, walked - tired, sat down. You can repeat this, providing the story with details in the style of “the sun was shining, the birds were singing,” etc. When everyone relaxes and sits down again, the leader says: “Bears - boom!” and lightly pushes the next one with his shoulder. player. The bears fall one after another like dominoes. Everyone laughs in surprise: indeed, the bears - boom!

Competition "Snake"
The presenter approaches each player and says: “I am a snake, snake, snake... I crawl, crawl, crawl... Do you want to be my tail?” He answers: “I want!” - and stands behind him, clasping the “snake’s head” around the waist. So they approach everyone else and ask them to join in unison. When the snake gets long and no one else wants to be the tail, the snake says: “I am a hungry snake, I will bite my own tail!” - and tries to catch his tail. Players need to hold on tightly to each other and keep the tail away from the head. Those who broke away leave the game, and the snake continues to catch its tail.
You can make the game more difficult: when new players join the tail, they must crawl on all fours between the legs of the snake, starting from its head. This game has a rule - you can't refuse. If the company is large, you can gather two snakes, each trying to catch the tail of the other. The winning snake “eats” the losing one - it crawls between the winners’ legs.

Corporate competitions in the office will be a huge help to you in holding a small office celebration. So, we bring to your attention several interesting and memorable competitions.

Competition “Everything is serious!”

An excellent game option for a corporate event, which is held in small room, or right in the office. Each participant must sit in such a way that they can see the others. When everyone is seated, you can begin the most serious competition in the world.
The first player, with due pathos, pronounces one single word: “Ha.” The next one already says two words: “Ha-ha”, the third says the word three times, the fourth says the word four times, etc.

Gradually the number of “Ha” reaches large quantity, it’s getting more and more difficult to pronounce, and for some reason you want to laugh... But don’t forget that this is a serious competition, so you need to keep a straight face! A stern facial expression, an important tone of voice - pathos in everything! The game ends as soon as someone breaks down and starts laughing. And then you can start over again! The one who bursts into laughter is eliminated, and the game continues until the most serious participant remains, who steadfastly withstood the entire competition and did not laugh.

“Puppeteers” or talent competition

Members of the corporate party are invited to take part in the fair. Players who agree are given a certain amount of time to make a doll from any available means. When the deadline approaches, the participants put their creations on public display and await the “verdict” of the competition judges. All these simple crafts can be made from ropes, handkerchiefs, cords, cutlery, bottles and even fruits, which players can quietly “steal” from the festive table.

Competition "Secretary" or "Tie a bow"

Two people are called to participate in the competition. They come to the table, where three folders with ties have been prepared for them (one folder inside the other). As soon as the presenter lets them know, the opponents actively begin tying bows in this order: the bottom lace of the first folder with the top of the second folder, the bottom lace of the second folder with the top of the third, and the top of the first folder with the bottom of the third. The winner will be the one who completes this intricate process first.

Competition “Complete the mosaic” or “Company logo”

Surely the company you work for has a logo. Make two copies of it with a frame on colored paper. If you don’t know how, any simple Photoshop will help you. After designing the logo, print these two copies on A4 sheet. We glue the finished sheets onto a piece of cardboard and use scissors to cut them into uneven pieces (25-30 pieces). Then we invite our colleagues to participate in the competition and create 2 teams. The opponents' task is to be the first to collect the whole picture: whoever finished first wins!

Competition "Continue the Quote"

For the competition, the host calls several guests. They are offered audio recordings with famous quotes(if it is not possible to provide audio recordings, the presenter reads the quotes himself), but they are not read out to the end, and the participants, in turn, must remember and continue the quote. The one who completes the task correctly and fastest the most times wins.

Competition “Write a poem”

Each participant is given a piece of paper with four words written on it. His task is to come up with a quatrain using these 4 words. It is desirable that the poem be thematic, for example, if it is some kind of holiday, then the poem will be a congratulation on this holiday, or simply touching on the theme of this event. In the competition, you can come up with several nominations, for example, “the funniest quatrain”, “the most thematic quatrain”, “the most awkward quatrain”, etc., and based on the results of the competition, choose a winner for each nomination.

Corporate party for the New Year

Artichoke

When going to a New Year's corporate party, remember that you still have to work with these people.

Between active competitions and games on New Year's corporate party it is necessary to take “table” breaks. To prevent them from being boring, offer guests several competitions at the table. In addition, “sedentary” competitions are suitable if employees do not want to get up from the table or the room where the holiday is taking place does not allow other competitions and games.

Competition Abroad!

The number of players is not limited. Imagine that the presenter is a customs officer.

Ask players: “What one item would you take with you abroad?”

Let the player name the items to you until you miss him. Let a person pass if he says a word starting with the first letter of his name. The players' task is to find out what the criteria for your decisions are.

Shouting competition

The game requires at least 6 people. The presenter offers a phrase that the players say in turn. At the same time, each subsequent player says it with ever increasing emotions. The game is played for fun, but it is possible to remove from the game participants who (by general opinion) were unable to pronounce a phrase with even greater emotional intensity. In this case, the last participant remaining in the game is declared the winner.

Chants for a New Year's corporate party

• "Leave me alone" ( from mild irritation to severe anger).
• "I managed" ( from calm affirmation to delight).
• "I'm scared" ( from calm affirmation to horror).
• "This is so funny" ( from a smile to uncontrollable laughter).
• "You are the best" ( from friendly reassurance to fiery love).
• "I lost him" ( from mild sadness to uncontrollable grief).
• "This is so disgusting" ( from approval to disgust).

Word guessing competition

Props: notes with clue words.

In this competition, teams must guess the word. To do this, players look for notes with clue words hidden on the table. Having found all the clues (or most), players will probably guess which word is hidden. Each team has its own word and its own clues, which means the search area needs to be demarcated. The team that guesses the word first wins.

Examples of words and hints

1. Mouth, life, ice, source = water.
2. Rose, information, bouquet, nose, bottle = smell.
3. Culture, Jules Verne, elements, electrical outlet, clay = earth.
4. Lord, gymnastics, wedding, speed = ring.

Competition with searches

For the competition you will need to prepare as many leaves as there are people present. Each person writes on a piece of paper a description of his appearance, for example, plump lips, beautiful eyes, brilliant smile, mole on the cheek. Then all these leaves are put into a hat or box. One by one they take out the pieces of paper and try to guess who is described on this piece of paper. To make guessing more interesting, you can say that the one who guesses the most will win. Each person can name only one option. If someone has already suggested an option, who is described on on this piece of paper, then he can’t call it a second time.

It is imperative to communicate with employees in an informal setting. Corporate events allow colleagues to chat not only about work, celebrate a holiday together and feel like one family. And to avoid getting bored at such meetings, it is necessary to brighten up the festive table with fun games and competitions. Need ideas? The article will help you.

Which corporate games are educational?

Employee training is based on special laws developed by Edward Lee Thorndike:

The first law is the Law of Readiness

- feel desire;

- feel the need;

– understanding and acceptance of the information received;

- to be interested.

Second Law – Law of Effect

Nothing achieves impact like success in the gameplay.

Third Law – Law of Practice

– practice motivates teachers;

– practice makes perfect;

– you need enough time to practice;

– required Feedback during training.

Educational corporate games can be:

1. Adventurous situations for employees. For example, the game “Marina Mnishek’s Treasure Search.” Here, a kaleidoscope of events leads workers to various extreme situations that need to be urgently resolved. The game is regularly accompanied by “unforeseen collisions.” For example, a bus breaks down, treasures are unexpectedly stolen, etc. All employees participate in an adventurous situation, which contributes to their learning and improvement of interaction.

2. Really valuable prizes. Employees have the opportunity to improve their own status by winning a corporate lottery. Large companies may provide large prizes. And employees can not only receive a valuable prize, but also fame among colleagues - a powerful incentive for the formation of a corporate culture.

3. Corporate cinema. A film about the creation and conduct of a corporate competition or lottery also becomes effective way attracting and uniting employees into a common union, increasing interest in the company. The tasks that employees will perform in preparing and executing the event are to influence employees by promoting group enthusiasm in developing creativity and teamwork. Usually in this case these problems are solved without any particular difficulties.

The non-financial incentive method is really important

Tamara Chukardina, Vice President, People's Insurance Company"Recon", Moscow

Our company regularly organizes corporate competitions between selling departments. In particular, at the end of last year there was serious competition in the market for compulsory motor liability insurance policies, largely unfair. We had to maintain the portfolio with increasing sales levels in such conditions. We did not resort to increasing the commission for agents; a different path was chosen. If the agent concludes the largest percentage of contracts, he was given plasma TV For a present.

Another competition was also held - the level of sales of CASCO contracts was taken into account, also with the presentation of prizes ( digital cameras, laptops, Cell phones). Such a competition was intended to orient agents to work not only with MTPL, but also with the more complex area of ​​auto insurance.

Rules for a successful business game

Konstantin Bocharsky, owner of the online children's toy store Toyzez.ru, presenter business games, Moscow

You can't disappoint your employees' expectations. If you tell people that they will learn a technique for solving a problem, there is no need to discourage them with a game. If you are sure that you need a game, you need to warn about it in advance. If people are waiting for a systematic presentation of the problem, and you start the game, this can provoke misunderstandings and negativity.

1. No theory needed. You need to assign tasks right away, then only analyze the identified errors.

2. Participants should not be told in advance what they are to learn.

3. Use game currency. After all, economic relations become the strongest incentive in the game. It is optimal if such currency can be converted into certain game assets.

4. Game tasks should be close to real work tasks. But they should not be an absolute copy. It is valuable when assignments involve working with real practices and techniques that will be used in the work.

5. Don't drag out the game, otherwise people will get tired. 2-5 hours is the optimal duration for the game.

6. Group participants into teams. To meet the allotted time and involve all participants, you need to be able to divide them into teams.

7. There should not be enough time to solve the problem in the game. Between the question “give more time” or “give less,” choose the second option. Promotes activation of energy, sometimes people are able to perform miracles.

8. Make the problem into reality artistic image. Very good practice– an abstract task is expressed using certain objects, better understanding the essence. Invite the participants in the game to recreate an installation about the problem under consideration, explaining to the audience the essence of the work.

The experience gained during the game must be “appropriated”. You need to talk through the experience gained and describe its meaning to your colleagues.

Document the results of the game so that you can use the experience gained in real work.

A few words about intellectual games

Intellectual games are built on the fact that you need to think before acting. But no one can do without positive emotions and laughter in such serious games.

Options for intellectual games:

1. Competition for erudition. Quotes or episodes, phrases of certain works are read out - from a variety of options you need to guess the correct option.

2. Competition for ingenuity. You should come up with new names for all 12 months, explaining the reason for your choice.

3. Painting. The presenter must prepare famous paintings in advance. Participants are shown small fragments of paintings - they will need to guess the work.

4. Detective. The game should begin by choosing a leader who will be a detective. Players need to hide words, he will look for them. The detective needs to leave the room for a while, a line will be asked famous poem or proverbs. For example, the saying “Language will take you to Kyiv.” We break it down into parts: “language”, “to”, “Kyiv”, “will bring”. When searching for an answer, the detective is allowed to ask any 3 participants in the game 3 questions.

5. Remember details. The presenter enters the room and holds the item in his hands, showing it for a short time. Then he makes distracting movements and hides the thing. Participants will have to remember as many details about this thing as possible.
