I love you, but at someone else's expense. Only on payday. No, I am a very shy person. I find it difficult to answer the truth, because I do not want to spoil my reputation. Only when I feel a little weak. You can try it away from home. I don't know myself, but others say yes. This is my hobby. Just not here. Please don't put me in an awkward position. Ask a more sober one. Why not? With great pleasure! My blushing is the most striking answer to this question. Only when I rest. Youth is long gone. Without witnesses, this case, of course, will go. This opportunity should not be missed. I'll tell you this in bed. Only when you want to go to bed. You can already try this. If it can be arranged now, then yes. Only when there are troubles at work. If I'm strongly asked to. I can for hours, especially in the dark. My financial situation rarely allows me to do this. No, I tried it once and it didn't work. Oh yeah!

I'll tell you this in the evening when I make an appointment. Even the mere thought of it makes me ecstatic. Only at night. Only for decent pay. Only if no one sees. It's so natural. Whenever your conscience dictates. But something must be done! If there is no other way. Whenever I'm drunk! Well, who does not happen!? Could you ask a more modest question? It all depends on how much and if I have enough change. If it doesn't hurt your pocket. Do I really look like this? This has been my passion since childhood. I'll ask my wife (husband). These are the best moments of my life. At least all night. On Saturdays, this is a must for me. I can't tell without a couple of glasses. Hangover only in the morning. This has been my greatest desire for a long time. My modesty does not allow me to answer this question. Everything depends on the situation. Crazy! With great pleasure. Yes, but only within the bounds of decency. Of course, this cannot be done without. This is the main goal of my life. I just can't stand it. I will never turn down such an opportunity. Nowadays, this is not a sin. Why not, if you can and there is no fear. Still, I'm capable of anything. This often happens to me at a party. Only in company. Not always, but often. Yes, if there is a need. Anything can happen because I'm human too. No, I'm too well brought up. Only when I wake up in someone else's bed you can't even imagine. If there are no big problems later. I'm much more interested in other issues. And not that yes, and not that no. Let's not be naive and don't ask questions that are difficult to sincerely answer. Today I don't feel like talking about it. In principle, yes, although it will be very difficult. Only in desperation. Unfortunately no. Well, this is, excuse me, a luxury! In daylight, not particularly, but in the dark - with pleasure. ...

Let your guests show their artistic talent and draw the most valuable thing in his life or what he dreams of. Then everyone talks about their drawing, the story is commented on by the participants and the most successful and original drawing and story is chosen by voting.

Battle of the balls

it fun game, which you can play to warm up a little after a long sitting at the table. It is carried out in a spacious room or in an open area. The essence of the game is that each guest is tied to the foot of an inflatable ball. It is necessary to tie as low as possible and it is desirable that the ball can lie on the floor. Then we turn on a cheerful melody, and the task of the participants is to burst other people's balloons. The one whose ball lasts the longest wins. You can also play in teams, then the participants

One team destroys the balls of the other team, and the winner is determined by the maximum number of whole balls in the team. Good mood after the game is guaranteed!

Dance on the chairs

This is not the kind of dance in which you have to have time to sit on a chair when you finish. xia m music, this is a simple creative competition, the task of the participants of which is to improvise to the music, trying to dance without getting up from the chair.

It is advisable to place chairs for the participants in the middle of the hall so that the audience can observe all the movements of the dancers, and then evaluate them by choosing the most active and creative dancer.

fun zoo

This game is suitable for children, but adults will be equally delighted with it. How to carry it out? At the beginning, we distribute cards with animals to the participants, but we do it in such a way that they do not see which animal is indicated on their card. Then everyone shows their card to other participants and asks leading questions. The rest of the players answer questions, but do not name the animal itself. The winner is the one who guessed his animal after the least number of questions.

The zoo can be easily replaced by a hardware store, for example. To do this, we take cards not with animals, but with household appliances. The guessing process is identical.

Guess the fairy tale

The game is played at the table. The host begins to tell a fairy tale without naming the main characters. You can read directly from the book, skipping names, titles, and the guests are trying to guess what kind of fairy tale they are talking about. If there are children at the holiday who are already familiar with fairy tales, you can also introduce them to guessing. In this case, hold a team competition - a team of children against a team of adults.

Watering hole

Several identical containers of water should be prepared in advance. Pour water or juice into each of the containers, give the participants straws. The task of the contestants is to empty their container as quickly as possible. You can complicate the task by the condition that you need to drink without the help of hands. It will be even more interesting if the container is not on the table, but on a chair.

Writers

A great opportunity to test your imagination and writing skills, and at the same time have fun.

How to spend? We prepare a list of questions in advance. It should look something like this:

  • Who?
  • Where did you go?
  • What for?
  • What did he see there?
  • How did he react to this?
  • Who came next?
  • What happened next?
  • etc.

You can take our list and add a couple more questions to it.

The process itself:

  • distribute pieces of paper and pens to the participants;
  • each writes at the very top of the sheet the answer to the question "Who?". It can be either real or fictional character;
  • then the leaflet is folded so that what is written is not visible and the participants exchange leaves among themselves;
  • then we write the answer to the question “Where did you go?” and continue in the same way until the questions run out;
  • finished literary works are handed over to the host and read aloud. Believe me, the stories will be very funny and with unexpected plot twists!

Sign up for a prize

We are preparing one or more sheets, at the very top of which we write: “who will tell a fairy tale or verse”, “who will sing a song” or something like that. You can also consider options such as “who will wash the dishes”, “who will help clear the table”, and so on. We close the inscription with a sheet with the word “Prize” and send this sheet around the table so that those who wish to sign up for the prize. What a surprise it will be when those who signed up will see what they actually signed up for! But even without a prize, of course, do not leave them after they complete the task)

Like a birthday boy

A competition that requires participants to show their acting skills.

For this entertainment, we prepare in advance pieces of paper with inscriptions like “I can eat like a birthday boy”, “I can walk like a birthday boy”, “I can draw like a birthday boy”, “I can dance like a birthday boy”. This competition will be especially interesting at the birthday of a 1-3 year old baby.

Participants take turns taking out pieces of paper and showing their acting skills. The most talented actor will be awarded with a prize.

Almost football

For this game you will need a spacious room, which is conditionally divided into two halves. The guests are divided into two equal teams. In the role of a soccer ball - a balloon, and the task of the "footballers" is to throw the ball to the side of the opposing team. A certain time is allotted for the game, during which it is desirable to turn on rhythmic music.

open the chest

Something like a mini-quest for guests. As a chest, you can use any box or even a box. Stages of the mini-quest - any interesting riddles or questions about the birthday boy himself. As an option, divide the participants into teams and let each of them compete for the “treasure”. It can also be held in the form of an individual competition - whoever gives the most correct answers gets the key to the treasure chest. Well, the chest itself is filled with pleasant little things - sweets, chocolate bars, small toys. Even if adult guests turn out to be not sweet-toothed, then each of them probably has kids at home who will be happy with such a treasure won by a parent.

Who will melt the ice?

Refreshing entertainment. For him, it is worth preparing a few ice cubes in advance. To make it more interesting for the participants, we freeze any small figures in cubes, which will be prizes. You can freeze, for example, small sweets, only after wrapping them in several layers of packaging film so that they do not dissolve in water before they freeze)

The task of the participants, as you probably guessed, is to melt the ice. But how to do it is up to you. You can dissolve them in your mouth, you can blow on them (in this case they will melt more slowly, but it will be safer for the throats of the participants). The winner is the one whose ice floe melted before the others.

Associations

A game that can be played right at the table in a relaxed atmosphere.

To get started, select the topic on which you will select associations. Let's take the theme "Summer" as an example. Each of the participants writes on a piece of paper 10 words that he associates with summer. For example: beach, sea, heat, watermelon, strawberries, etc. When everyone copes with the task, we begin to read the lists in turn. If someone finds the same items, they must be crossed out from all lists. The winner is the one whose list contains the most uncrossed words. The winner rightfully receives the title of the person with the most unconventional thinking)

More ideas can be gleaned from the video:

In conclusion, I would like to note that this is only a small part of the entertainment that can be held at a birthday party for a small birthday for adult guests. Any competition can be somewhat modified, adjusted to the situation and the interests of the participants.
