Games and competitions for a picnic. Interesting games and competitions in nature for adults

Candy, popcorn, and other picnic food is also fun to play with!

For example, invite your friends to pour bright ememdems from one plastic bottle to another using only one hand. If the sweets fall past the neck of the bottle, the participant has lost. And if he still managed to cope with the task, come up with a “second round” for him, more difficult. For example, give already two bottles of sweets (to the right and left hand) and ask to repeat the operation. Well, the winner, of course, will get all the candies from the bottles!

Another, no less interesting variation of the competition on the “edible” theme is moving from start to finish with plastic cups (filled with popcorn) on the toes of your boots. The complexity of the game is that the cups with corn are not attached to the legs in any way, and you cannot hold them with your hands either.

I know from my own experience that no one succeeds in “crawling” to the finish line! But a lot of positive, both participants and spectators (fans) are guaranteed! I hope these fun games for adults bring a little spice to the summer dish called Your Unforgettable Picnic! And you will go home only to return to your favorite clearing next weekend, after exactly five working days, and repeat the competition again!

In summer, you don’t want to breathe city smog and sit in stuffy apartments. Many take the slightest opportunity to spend a weekend in nature. At the same time, I would like not to waste precious minutes spent with friends or colleagues in vain. To do this, many come up with funny games, for which time flies by unnoticed.

Contests for a fun company in nature

ten notes

For this competition, you will need to arrive at the place of rest in advance to lay out special notes. They will contain step-by-step instructions for players indicating all search points. Upon arrival, you should split into two groups and, on the instructions of the leader, begin the search. The company that overcomes all obstacles and finds the last note wins.

Unlucky sailor

Competitions for a fun company in nature can be supplemented with various relay races. For example, like this one. Two participants are asked to put on fins. On command, the players need to reach the planned landmark. It can be a trait or a pre-delivered jar. The task is complicated by the fact that you can only look through binoculars, and from the side that visually removes all surrounding objects.

tug of war

Competitions for a fun company in nature can be diversified with sports competitions. For this fun game you will need a long and thick rope. A mark is placed in the center of the rope. On the ground, at the same distance from this mark, lines should be drawn on both sides. All friends are divided into two groups, it is desirable that the same number of people of the same sex stand on each side. On a signal, the strongmen begin to pull a thick rope, each group tries to pull it in its direction. The company that can drag the mark over its line wins.

hot cubes

To be honest, it is quite difficult to hold such a holiday. First of all, being a picnic, children least of all want to play in an organized way - everyone has their own interesting business. Secondly, the organization of a children's holiday in nature requires certain physical data. For example, a loud voice :-).

If you still decide to gather guests for a picnic and are planning an entertainment program without having the temperament of a clown and the skills of an experienced animator, use my selection of contests.

I chose only those games and competitions in nature that are easiest to organize (most of them can be held with the number of participants from 4 people).

So far, only 20 ideas, but I plan to add interesting outdoor contests to this article, so there will be many more over time!

Throwers and throwers 🙂

I like this competition for simplicity and objectivity in identifying the winner. It is easy to establish who hit the target more times.

Options:

1. At a distance of 10 children's steps, hit the tree trunk with a cone. Each has, say, 10 attempts.
2. Knock down any construction of dry twigs with a stick (let's call it "forest bast shoes").
3. Put an empty pot (basin, bucket) at a distance of several steps. We compete in accuracy by throwing small rubber balls, toys or the same bumps there. If there is no empty container, just look for a hole in the ground.
4. Tie a rope to a horizontal tree branch so that its end reaches the ground. We tie a small bag with a ball (cones, toys) to the lower end of the rope, if only it was some kind of harmless "weight". Players pick up a "weight" and move a few steps to the side. You need to shoot down objects that are at some distance from the center. Here is the drawing.
5. Another version of the previous game. You need to choose a leader who will swing the “pendulum”, and things (bottles, juice boxes, sticks, pebbles, toys) need to be folded in the center. Players need to have time to run up and pick up the item before the “pendulum” returns.
6. Make a fishing rod. Tie a rope with a weight at the end to a stick 1.5 - 2 meters. With this weight, you need to knock down small objects at a distance slightly greater than the length of the stick, swinging the rope.

Catching games

Bear

Lay out the toys, pots, bags, and items you brought for the picnic in the clearing. Plant a bear in the center of this composition, draw a line on the ground at a distance of 5-7 steps, behind which there will be a “house”. The host shouts: "The bear woke up!". Children must save property and put it behind the line, and the bear can only catch the one who has nothing in his hands (at the moment when the child returns for things from the safe line). The one who collects the most items wins. And the bear becomes the player who was in the paws of the bear.

Catchers "Short legs"

The participants of the game will need to catch up and run away with an empty plastic bottle sandwiched between their knees.

Paints

Players line up. The leader turns away and steps back 5 steps.

- Knock Knock?
- Who's there?
— I don't know myself.
- Why did you come?
- For paint.
— For what?
- For blue!

Everyone who has this color on their clothes holds on to this color with their hands and remains in place, the rest run away from the leader. The next one is driven by the one who was caught.

duels

Fight with balls

In nature, such a game will turn out fun. Tie small balls to the right ankle of the players (string no more than 30 cm). Only 2 players participate in the duel. Hands are not involved, they need to be clasped behind the back in a lock. The winner is the one who manages to burst the winner's balloon with his foot. To the one who won, a new opponent comes with a ball on his leg. This continues until one player remains with a whole ball on his leg.

Knight Tournament

If there is a relatively even and not thick log, you can fight with long thin balls. The winner must stand on a log.

Comic games

Game "Obstacle Train"

1 stage of the game.

Between the trees at a height of 30-40 cm, pull the rope in zigzags. All participants of the holiday get into the train one after another, holding on to the waist. To the music, the first player starts moving in small steps, choosing a difficult route. You need to step over the rope, go around the tree, and so on. It's just fun, especially if there are more than five participants.

Stage 2 of the game.

One of the players is taken aside and tightly blindfolded with a handkerchief. At this time, the rope must be removed, brought to the beginning of the route. And now the host tells you how to raise your leg, how many steps to go, where to turn. The player follows the commands, thinking that the rope has remained in place and diligently overcomes non-existent obstacles. Try it, it's fun!

Relays:

Shashlik

Most suitable for an autumn picnic, as fallen leaves are needed. As usual, we divide the children into teams. We collect the leaves in advance. Determine the distance for running (no more than 6-7 meters). At the end of the route, put a skewer for each team (a stick on which you need to string a sheet). The player runs, strings a piece of paper on a stick, returns to the team. The winner is the team that, of course, will have the most luxurious barbecue by the time the cheerful children's song ends.

Jerboa

The distance of 5-7 meters and back must be overcome by firmly holding the ball between the knees. At the same time, cones, nuts or small pebbles can be attributed to the “mink”. The winning team is again revealed by the end of the song.

ember

We divide the children into two teams. We collect small pebbles or cones according to the number of participants. Small juice boxes will do. It is necessary not only to run and put a piece of coal in the fire, but to move, tossing the object up slightly. It's an ember, it burns your hands! The team that puts down their fire the fastest wins.

Firefighters

Hot weather game. Each team member has empty disposable cups. Teams need to be built in a line, right side to the direction of movement.

The last player in line must have a full glass of water. On command, he pours water to his neighbor into an empty glass as carefully as possible, runs and becomes the first (always next to the previous participant). It is the turn of the one who now has a full glass of water. He also pours it to a neighbor. This is how you get to the target. The team with the most water left at the end of the relay wins.

On the mound

Everyone ran, tired. Sat on a log...

Time for sedentary games and competitions, which, by the way, are also very fun.

Conductor-tamer

The host divides the guests into groups (if there are few children, everyone gets a separate role). Let frogs, cows, dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, bees, sheep and so on appear on your holiday.

They will have to perform a song for the birthday boy to the melody " Happy Birthday to You. First, each sings a line. The conductor points with a baton, and...

Kwa-kva-kva-kva woof-woof

Oink-oink-oink-oink meow-meow

Quack-quack-quack-quack ju-ju-ju

Mu-mu-mu-mu beee-beee….

And now all together!

The main thing is that there are no other vacationers nearby, since the choir turns out to be very solemn :-).

The fairy tale came to life

We take the simplest children's fairy tale. All guests get roles. Those who lacked the main characters become trees, the sun, clouds, wind.

For the forest, "Masha and the Bear" is best suited. Just think about who you will give the role of hemp, because a bear will sit on it!

Crocodile on a picnic

One of the participants shows with gestures some object necessary in nature, the rest guess. Matches, firewood, barbecue meat, a thermos, a backpack and a pump look fun in such a pantomime.

"JUMPS THROUGH VALERA*"
As you know, jumping over a fire is very dangerous for health and clothing. But jumping over Valera is a much more pleasant and safe entertainment. For this game, a soundly sleeping Valera is taken, who will probably be found near a backpack with drinks, and cheerfully jumps over it. It is important to remember one thing: there must be an even number of jumps, otherwise Valera will not grow anymore.

"FIND ME"
Cell phone players are trying to explain to their comrades how to get to the place of rest. The one whose partner arrives first wins.

"BOUNCER"
The second team comes to the clearing where the picnic is being held and says that this is their place, after which the players start kicking each other out of the clearing. The winner gets a clearing and meat.

"CHAIN ​​FORGED"
All participants of the picnic, free from frying barbecue, sorry for the involuntary rhyme, line up and begin to slowly walk across the clearing, heads down and peering into the grass. The leader rushes on his knees in front of the walking chain and says: "The chain is golden, the husband gave it, he finds out, he will kill! Oh, I'm a damned fool!"
The game continues until they are called to eat and drink.
Varieties of the game: "EXPENSIVE EARRINGS", "DIAMOND PENDANTS", "CELLULAR PHONES", etc.

"TURN OFF CHANSON"
One of the players turns on the car radio at full volume and opens the doors of his car. The rest of the participants in the game are divided into two teams: one gets high on music, and the other is annoying. As a rule, those who enjoy music win.

"CHESS FOOL"
One of the players is shuffling chess. There are usually thirty-two pieces, so four bolts or screws are added to play the chess fool. The players hold the figures in their fists, but do not show each other. And they play fool not with cards, but with chess, like cultured intelligent people. The one who has all the pieces in his hand loses.

"FIGHTING CLEAR"
This is a decorous and cultural entertainment, unlike wrestling in the mud, in a fire, in a barbecue or sleigh. Decent women wrestle dressed, on a clean blanket, and the audience cheer them on with applause and exclamations of "Come on, Svetlana Nikolaevna, take over Antonina Sergevna!", "Come on, Antonina Sergevna, tear Svetlana Nikolaevna's mouth!" etc.

"DAUGHTERS-MOTHERS"
The game begins when daughters of different ages and their mothers go out into nature. Without men. The host starts the game with the words "Girls! I saw new salamander boots yesterday ..." Everyone starts interrupting her with all the same nonsense. And at the same time, they still have to laugh shrillly and drunkenly. God forbid a man be there.

"THIS EXTRA"
For this game, several skewers are needed, and exactly one less than the participants.
Players walk around the barbecue and pretend that they are playing completely different games. But at the command "Kebabs are ready!" everyone rushes to the grill. The one who does not get the skewers with barbecue loses.

"HOT-COLD"
While the kebab is fried, one player (leader) hides a net with bottles of vodka in the river. The rest of the players first wait, and then they can’t stand it and begin to show where she can be. And the leader says: "Hot!", "Heat!" or "Colder!" (depending on how much time has passed). When the kebab is ready and the vodka is cold, this monster says: "It's cold!" and takes out the hidden grid.

"GIANT STEPS"
The participants of the game gather at the start line and drink 30-100 grams of vodka each. The bottle is then moved back 40-80 cm. Participants must take a step and drink 60-120 grams again. The bottle moves back 80-160 cm. Again, everyone steps and drinks. Whoever can take the biggest step and then stand up wins.

"GREAT BADMINTENIS" ("BADMINBALL")
To play you will need badminton rackets and a soccer ball. The rules are like in tennis, but instead of a net there is a person. He also serves as a referee in this exciting but difficult game.

Game with a girl "TO POTTLE"
A couple of players sit opposite each other, pour and drink. Then more. If a girl misses, then she takes off any detail of the toilet. If he doesn’t miss, then at the end of the game he allows you to remove them all from himself.

"KING OF THE FAMILY"
While the men are frying the BBQ, the women should play Potato Peeling, Lettuce Cutting and Get the Kids Do Something! In the morning, they, as if they had done nothing to prepare the Shashlik, must collect all the dishes, men lying around and other rubbish.

"SAVE THE GUITAR"
The players have been trying to sit on the guitar all evening, and the host, who is also the owner of the guitar, is trying at the last moment to pull the guitar out from under the players and play it. The winner is the one who still manages to sit down on the guitar. The leader loses.

"JUMPS THROUGH VALERA*"
As you know, jumping over a fire is very dangerous for health and clothing. But jumping over Valera is a much more pleasant and safe entertainment. For this game, a soundly sleeping Valera is taken, who will probably be found near a backpack with drinks, and cheerfully jumps over it. It is important to remember one thing: there must be an even number of jumps, otherwise Valera will no longer grow

Contests are the best pastime when a cheerful company has gathered. To avoid hitches, you should prepare in advance. When choosing, consider the location, the availability of props and the preferences of the participants.

Outdoor games

Find a pin

The host chooses 5 people and puts blindfolds on everyone. After that, he randomly attaches pins to the clothes of the players. The music turns on.

Participants begin to look for pins on each other. At the same time, it is impossible to tell. Whoever finds the most wins.

All pins must be clasped. Only adults can compete.

Big cleaning

For such a game, you need the same number of balloons of two colors. On the ground, you need to draw a large circle and divide it in half. Everyone present is divided into two teams.

At each site, a ball is scattered in random order. Their color corresponds to a specific team. The winners are those participants who threw all their balls into the opponents' territory.

cooks

Such a competition is perfect for starting a picnic. Two teams are armed with matches, cauldrons, the same number of knives and potatoes.

After the signal in each team, they begin to kindle a fire, peel potatoes and install a boiler. The winners will be those whose potatoes cook faster. The competition can be changed, for example, to the fastest cooking of shish kebabs.

Siamese twins

Players are divided into two. Each pair is tied together with two arms and two legs. Now they can't be used.

The essence of the game is that the "Siamese twins" perform some tasks. For example, peel potatoes. The couple that completes the most tasks wins.

burst

In this game, participants are also divided into pairs. Each team is given five balloons. Couples need to burst them in the following positions:

• back to back;
• side by side;
• between hands;
• belly to belly;
• sitting down at the same time.

The competition looks very funny. After all, the participants are ridiculous to move and squeal when the balloon bursts. So the game will appeal to both players and fans.

Ate and drank

For the competition you will need: a sausage, a bottle of drink, a plate, a knife, a fork and a glass. Next, you need to choose two teams of three people. Everyone moves an equal distance from the table.

First, the participants are offered food. The first player on the team runs to cut off a piece of sausage. The second pricks it on a fork. The third must eat.

Now the teams have to drink. Now all participants alternately open the bottle, pour into a glass and drink. The team that completes the tasks faster wins.

hungry beast

For the game you need two volunteers and some food. For example, chopped sausage.

Participants alternately put food in their mouths and say the phrase “hungry beast” to their opponent. At the same time, you cannot swallow. The player who laughs first is considered the loser.

Looking for treasure

This competition requires preparation. The host needs to hide the treasure in advance - a case of beer.

Catch the ball

Participants are divided into four teams. With the help of lots, two of them become leaders, and the rest are followers. The leading teams are opposite each other, and the followers are located between them.

Participants from the leading teams alternately throw the ball. The task of the slaves is to intercept him. If they succeed, the teams switch places.

get me drunk

For such a competition, you need 6 players, 4 glasses and a couple of plastic bottles. In their covers with a nail, one hole must be made. The players are divided into two teams.

The captains, without opening the bottles and without using their hands, must pour water into two glasses. The rest of the participants quickly drink it. The team that completes the challenge faster than their opponents wins.

Bags

This game will require a lot of bags. The host leaves a gift at a certain distance from the start. Participants stand with their feet in the bag and, on command, begin to jump. Whoever gets to the gift first can keep it.

Find the bottles

This game will not only help to cheer up, but also cool drinks. Perfect for those who are bored while preparing barbecue. The host hides a bag of bottles in the river.

Players begin to walk around the pond and look for drinks. The host can prompt "hot" or "cold". The winner is allowed to be the first to choose a kebab stick.

Get dressed, undress

Participants are divided into two teams and stand on one line. After a certain distance from them, leave a hat, T-shirt and pants (preferably large sizes).

After the signal, each player must run to the things, put them on, take them off and pass the baton to the next one. The team whose members complete the challenge the fastest wins.

Egg

For this competition you will need spoons, raw eggs and leaflets with tasks. The host draws a "corridor" on the ground.

Participants one at a time take a spoon in their teeth, put an egg on it and go through the "corridor". The rest are trying to distract him, shouting "drop it", "you won't reach it." The player who dropped the egg must complete the task.

chocolate temptation

This game is suitable for the warm season. Participants must be in swimsuits and swimming trunks. The leader ties the blindfolds for the men. He also breaks the chocolate and places them on the girls.

Guys have to find sweets with their lips and eat them. When everyone copes with the task, the boys and girls change places.

Only adults who are not in a love relationship should participate in such a game. Otherwise, conflicts may arise.

save the balloon

For such a competition, many balloons will be needed, which should be inflated and tied to one leg of each player. Draw a big circle on the ground. After everything is ready, the host turns on the music.

While the song is playing, the participants, without leaving the circle, begin to pop the balls to each other. When the music is turned off, those who could not keep their ball intact are removed from the circle. The action continues until one winner remains.

breathalyzer

This game will continue all the time that the company spends in nature. Near the feast chooses one tree. A scale is attached to it, from the bottom of which 40 degrees are written, and zero from the top.

Throughout the feast, each of the participants passes a breathalyzer. To do this, he stands with his back to the tree, bends over and puts his hand with a pencil between his legs to leave a mark on the piece of paper. Each time passing the test will be more difficult and funnier.

TOP 5 GAMES

TOP 5 fun GAMES for the company at the table

Entrance denied

Such fun is great to start a feast. Before each guest sits down, he must complete some task. It should not be difficult, for example, to say a compliment to the presenter.

drunk couple

For the competition, you will need several bottles of drinks and glasses. Those who wish to participate are divided into two. One of the couple takes a bottle, and the second - a glass.

At the sign, everyone tries to fill the glasses as accurately as possible. But at the same time, it is forbidden to take the bottle with your hands. The victory goes to the couple that copes faster and more conscientiously.

Telepath

Several teams with a small number of participants are selected at the table. Everyone raises their right hand, clenched into a fist. After the command of the leading "telepath", the players unclench an arbitrary number of fingers.

The point of the game is for one of the teams to show the same number. Talking is prohibited. But the participants can try to negotiate in a different way, such as coughing or knocking.

Fanta

One of the participants turns his back to everyone. The host points to any person present and asks the question “what should this phantom do?”. Assignments should be very funny, for example:

• raise your hands to the sky and ask the aliens to take you back home;
• congratulate passing people on some holiday;
• drink a glass of highly salted water;
• print a photo of a caterpillar and ask everyone you meet if they saw your runaway pet;
• sing a whole song at the bus stop.

The most interesting thing is that the person who gives the task can randomly choose it for himself. Although the game is already old, it guarantees a festive mood.

We shared an orange

For the next fun you will need oranges, knives and any number of teams. Each group must choose a captain. It is he who starts the game and ends it.

At the signal of the facilitator, the group should take turns peeling the orange, divide it into slices and eat. The captain needs to start the process and eat the last slice. The fastest team wins.

Conductor

The host plays a familiar song. When he raises his hand, everyone sings; when he lowers it, they are silent. Participants who make a mistake are out of the game.

Victory goes to the most attentive. To make the game more intense, the facilitator can use his hand very quickly. He can confuse everyone by continuing to sing when he doesn't have to.

The most nimble

For such fun, you will need alcoholic drinks and glasses. The latter should be less than the participants. The host pours alcohol and gives a signal, turning on the music.

When everyone sitting hears the song, they dance around the table. As soon as the music stops playing, the participants take apart the glasses. Those who are left with nothing are out of the game.

After the first round, the game continues again. For a change, the degree of drinks can be gradually increased. The competition ends only when one winner remains.

During the game, remove the excess from the table. Otherwise, the dishes standing on the edge may be broken.

How would you do if?

The facilitator asks various questions to the players. For example, what would you do if:

• aliens have stolen you;
• you spent the entire salary for three days;
• you will not be able to use the Internet for a month;
• you will be locked in the office.

The more ridiculous the questions, the funnier it will turn out. The winner can be determined by general vote.

Dictation

In order to play this game, you need two participants, printed stories from the Internet, juice, paper and a pen. The first player takes a small amount of juice into his mouth, but does not swallow it. He is given a sheet with a story and offered to dictate it.

The second participant tries to write down what they heard. After the competition, everyone listens to the resulting story. Usually such a game turns out to be very funny.

sweetie

One of the guests sitting at the table should stand behind them. The rest take the candy and quickly pass it to each other. The task of the driver is to catch the one in whose hands the sweet is.

Vodka

This game should be played when everyone has had enough to drink. The host gets up from the table and warns that in one minute he will figure out the most drunk of the guests.

After that, the host explains that it is necessary to give the subject he named a more affectionate shade. For example, sausage - sausage, tangerine - tangerine. All guests think that sobriety is determined by the speed of response.

At such a moment, the host says the word "water". Usually at such a moment they answer “vodka”. The guest who made a mistake is awarded a diploma "who has reached the required condition" to the general laughter.

Vodohleb

For the competition you will need spoons and two large bowls filled with water. Everyone present is divided into two teams.

On a signal, everyone drinks a spoonful of water and passes the container to the next. During the fun, splashing water is not allowed. The first group to scoop out the contents of the bowl wins.

useful item

The leader gives any item to the person sitting next to him. The guest must say how you can use this thing and pass it on to the next. The one who can't figure out what benefits the item brings is the loser.

You don't even have to leave the table to have a great time.
