At every party there are reckless people who can't wait to channel their energy somewhere. The games below are quite suitable for this. But they will require a lot of free space. The optimal condition for such games is fresh air.
"Sack Run"
The game involves teams with the same number of players. To play the game you will need two bags. Participants must climb into bags and jump a predetermined distance into them and back. The team that completes the task faster wins.
"Lelo"
This is a Georgian national game, the name of which is translated as “field”. The players' task is to run with the ball to the opponent's side, located on the other side of the field. Two teams take part in the game. The number of players can reach up to 15 people. At the beginning of the game, the teams stand in a circle, and then the ball is thrown up and the game begins. One of the players catches the ball and begins to move towards the opponent. The opponent can take the ball by any means except downright rude ones.
"Knockouts"
Two teams take part in the game. The playing area is divided into two halves, which belong to the teams. One of the players comes to the side of his opponent and stands behind the entire team. He has to throw balls to his team, but he can't kick them himself. The team's task is to use the ball to knock as many of their opponents off the court as possible. The team that eliminates all its opponents wins.
"Defender"
Participants form a circle and, by drawing lots, determine who will be the defender and who will be the main one. The main one and his defender stand in the middle of the formed circle. The participants begin to throw the ball to each other and try to knock out the main one. The defender’s task is to protect the main player from getting hit by the ball. If this happens, the participant takes the place of the main one and can choose his own defense or leave the previous defender. And the game continues.
"Envelopes"
For this game, you need to choose a leader who will monitor the correct completion of tasks. Players are divided into several teams. Each team is given five envelopes in which tasks are written. For example: 1st task - sit down 50 times; 2nd task - recite a poem about birds, etc. In addition, the teams need to find the remaining five envelopes. To do this, you need to complete the tasks correctly. The team that completes all tasks before others is the winner. The winner will receive a prize in the form of a cake.
"Let's jump!"
Teams take part in the game. Each participant needs to jump on one leg to the pole and back. Whoever completes the task faster wins. To make the task more difficult, you can arrange it next to a small slide. Then the participants will need to jump uphill and downhill.
“Break through the wall!”
The game is played in winter, when there is a lot of snow outside. A wall that is small in height and thickness is erected from snow. Participants will also need a stick approximately 0.5 m long. Each participant must throw their stick so that it breaks right through the snowdrift.
"Tennis Balls and Tray"
The leader forms two teams, each consisting of three participants, and everyone is given one tennis ball. The first players (starters) are also given a tray. On command, the first players place the ball on the tray and quickly walk to the flag and back. Pass the tray to the next participant. He covers the same distance, but with two balls, therefore, the third player with three. The team that completed this task faster wins.
"Equilibrium"
To play the game you will need two chairs placed at some distance from each other. A large round stick is placed on them, capable of supporting the weight of a person. On different sides of the chairs, apples are laid out on low stands in the shape of a triangle. The participant sits in the middle of the stick and holds another stick in his hands to maintain balance. The participant's task is to knock the apples off the stands. If a participant loses his balance, he can put a stick on the floor and support him. The participant who knocks down all the apples and stays on the stick wins. If a participant knocks down all the apples but fails to hold on, the result is not counted.
"Hide and Seek"
The participant who will drive is selected by drawing lots. They close his eyes, put him facing the wall (playing place), and he begins to count to 50. The remaining participants hide at this moment.

Whoever fails to do this will be the driver in the next game.
"Lids"
This game develops dexterity and the ability to calculate a strike. Before starting the game, you need to draw a circle and insert a stick into its middle. A plastic cover is placed on the stick. Players stand at a distance of 1.5 m from the stick and try to knock down the one on the stick with another lid. But you need to knock it down so that it falls outside the drawn circle. Whoever succeeds scores 5 points. The one who scored the most points wins.
"Ring"
The game develops the eye and dexterity of the game participants. To play you will need sticks 0.5 m long and rings. If the game is played outdoors, then the sticks are dug into the ground, if indoors, then they are secured in the cross. Participants are divided into teams. The task of each team is to put as many rings on a stick as possible. At the first stage, the distance between the thrower and the stick is 1 m, at the second stage - 2 m, at the third - 3 m. At the end of three stages, the winning team is revealed.

Participants stand in a line and repeat all the movements of the driver who is standing in front of them, exactly the opposite. The participant who makes a mistake changes places with the driver.
"Pushers"
In the game, one circle with a diameter of approximately 1.5 m is drawn on the floor, and inside it is a smaller circle. Participants stand around a large circle, hold hands and try to push their neighbor into the restricted area. The forbidden zone is the space between the large and small circles. Participants can step into the small circle. Anyone who does step into the restricted area is eliminated from the game.
“Pass and not touch”
Players are divided into several teams. Each team has flags in front of them; participants must pass them with their eyes closed and not knock them down. When the first participants from each team begin to walk, the teams must tell them which direction to go. When teams simultaneously begin to give hints to their players, none of them can understand where to move.
"Fold the Sun"
The game is team-based. First, a circle is drawn at a certain distance from each team. Each team player receives a baton. And then, one by one, on two legs, you need to jump to the drawn circle and place your stick so that the team ends up making the sun. The winner of the game is the team that completed the task before the rest.
"Shapes"
The game is played in teams. Team members hold hands with their eyes closed. The presenter asks the teams to depict various figures, for example a circle, square, etc. The team that depicts the figure incorrectly is eliminated from the game.
“Drag!”
Guys take part in the game. They are tied with a rope, but at a distance, and a prize is placed in front of each. Each young man must reach for the prize and thereby win over his opponent to his side. The participant who takes the prize first wins.
You can also arrange a tug of war. Participants are divided into teams and stand on both sides of the rope. On command, they take the rope in their hands and try to pull their opponents over the line drawn in advance. The strongest team wins.
You can pull without a rope. To do this, all team members line up and take each other by the waist. The first participants of such a “locomotive” from different teams join hands. On command, participants pull opponents to their side.
"Game of Rings"
The game is played outdoors. At a distance from the participants, a stick is placed between the trees, and rings are attached to it. The participants put on stilts, reach the trees and try to collect the rings, while their opponents try to stop them. The one who collects the most rings becomes the winner.
You can also play football on stilts. Teams are formed, all participants stand on stilts and begin to play football.
Players are divided into teams, each of them inflates balloons. Then the team lines up in a chain, pinching the balls between the back of the person in front and the chest of the person behind. Without touching with hands, but only in this position, the caterpillar team must carry the balls to the finish line. If the ball falls out, you are allowed to pick it up and continue on its way. The team that reaches the finish line first wins.
Primitive society
Nature is full of materials and objects from which you can make a tool. So, the company is transferred to a primitive society and each of the participants must come up with their own new, unique, universal weapon for hunting and self-defense. To help, stones, sticks, leaves and everything else that only the children can find in nature. Whoever gets the best and most powerful weapon will win.
Follow the map
The presenter draws up a certain number of cards in advance for each of the participants, depending on the area where the holiday will take place, marking the elements of the treasure with a cross and pictures - identification marks, such as wood, stone, and so on. Each participant must have the same distance and map difficulty. Along the way, guests collect skewer, firewood, matches, tomatoes, pieces of meat in a bag. As a result, the treasures of all participants are collected together, and all the guests grill kebabs together, and the fastest searcher is awarded a prize.
Whose tracks are these meandering?
In advance, using the Internet and a printer, you need to find pictures of animal tracks and print them. Participants are divided into 2-3 teams and in front of each team a chain of tracks (wolf, hare, fox, crow, etc.) is laid out. The team that says “stop” the fastest and can name the correct sequence of tracks is the winner.
Accurate slingshot
At a certain distance, about 5 tin cans are placed on a perch or tree branch. The cans are placed anew for each participant. Everyone takes turns shooting from a slingshot, making 5 shots. Whoever manages to knock down all the banks wins a prize.
Carpet plane
Participants are divided into two teams of equal numbers of people. Each team is given a strong and durable bedding. The male sex takes the litter and takes turns carrying one of the girls and women to a certain place, for example, to a stone or a specific tree. The team that transports one girl at a time to its destination the fastest wins.
Skis help out in winter and summer
Participants are divided into several teams. The first participants, at the command “start,” put on their skis and walk the distance on them to a set goal, for example, a tree, take off their skis and run back, pass the skis to the second participants, who put on their skis and repeat the same thing as the first participants. The team that finishes the fun ski run the fastest wins.
Edibles
Participants are divided into several teams and given a task: to collect food supplies in their basket. Whoever fills their cart faster than others wins. You can pick berries, mushrooms, and fruits. If you have absolutely no luck in your search, you can get out of it with the help of your imagination, for example, picking chestnuts and saying that roasted chestnuts are very tasty, or picking a field bouquet and saying that flower nectar fills you with strength.
Stone Mountain
Participants are divided into pairs, preferably w. +m. And at the command “begin” the couples begin to collect stones and build their mountain. A certain time is given for everything, for example, 5 or 10 minutes. Whoever gets the biggest and highest mountain during this time wins. And the winning couple gets a prize.
Living ikebana
Each of the participants collects a bouquet or makes ikebana in accordance with the time of year. Whoever comes up with the most beautiful and interesting composition wins. The winner can be determined by the applause of the other guests.
What do you associate with the phrase “outdoor recreation”? Of course, with summer, river, beach, forest, barbecue and good company. But how can you make your vacation memorable for a long time? To do this, you can add nature to the banal swimming in the river and eating kebabs. This article will definitely help you spend your holiday beneficial for your soul and body.
Fun competitions in nature
1. "Twister". This is probably the most popular game among young people, which is suitable for any company, regardless of gender and age. The rules are quite simple, you just need a little skill. So, in front of you is a rug with circles of different colors printed on it. The presenter spins the roulette and indicates to the players in which sector they should place their hand or foot. Twister is capable of tying even several people into a knot. Sometimes you have to stand and balance in very uncomfortable positions, which makes everyone even more fun.
2. Darts. To do this, you will need darts and a target, which can be mounted on one of the trees located near your resting place. Then everything is simple - split into several teams and hold a tournament. Whose team scores more points wins.
3. Frisbee, in other words, can also be used when holding funny competitions in nature. The players are divided into two teams. The goal of each of them is to pass the “flying saucer” to its player, and the opponents must stop this feed at all costs and grab the Frisbee on the fly. Here you need to have good accuracy, agility and speed. Also a very good option for a useful holiday!
This is all that relates to active games. You can add some spice to outdoor competitions for young people, for example, if vacationers gather mostly in pairs.
1. "Contact". For this competition, it is necessary to prepare in advance 2 sets of pieces of paper on which all parts of the human body (head, arm, back, etc.) will be listed. Then the players are divided into pairs - boy/girl. Each participant takes a piece of paper in turn and reads what is written there. For example, a girl pulled out a piece of paper with the inscription “Hand”, and a young man - “Back”. Now they should touch these parts of the body. In the second round of the game, each pair again takes out a piece of paper. The idea is that young people, while maintaining their previous contact, should touch new parts of the body. The winner is the pair that stays in the race for as long as possible, i.e. managed to stay in contact.
2. "Sweet Tooth Drum." A very fun competition. The game involves two people who take turns putting candy in their mouths and calling their opponent a sweet-toothed drummer. At first glance, it may seem that there is nothing complicated or funny about this. But that's not true. There is one condition in this game - you cannot eat candy! And therefore, the more sweets a player has in his mouth, the more difficult it is for him to pronounce the phrase “Sweet Tooth Drum”, because It turns out very funny and sometimes incomprehensible. Whoever stuffs the most candy into his mouth and still speaks clearly wins!
3. “Pour water into a glass.” The game involves any number of players. A plastic glass (0.5 l) is placed in front of each person and a bottle of water resembling a sprinkler is given (the lid has a hole in it). The conditions of the competition are quite interesting. Players are asked to fill the glass with water as quickly as possible without using their hands. It's quite funny to look at the participants. The winner is the one who fills the glass with water first. And to make it even more interesting to hold funny competitions in nature, you can come up with some humorous prizes. Then participants will have an additional incentive to win!
These are not all funny outdoor competitions! You can come up with something of your own based on the tastes of your company. Have a nice holiday!
Not all people in our country have the opportunity to celebrate their birthday in nature. The fact is that only those who were born in the summer, late spring or early autumn can afford this. Those born from November to March cannot experience all the delights of celebrating their own birthday in nature. Well, this method really has a lot of charms. After all, during the celebration of such a birthday, you can not only enjoy barbecue and the surrounding views, but also play fun, funny and active games that can brighten up the special event.
"Limbo"
This dance-game is also available indoors, but it is in nature that you can fully enjoy it. So if you want to make your outdoor birthday party more fun, then be sure to try playing Limbo with your guests.
In order for you to have the opportunity to hold this competition in nature, you just need to take with you a medium-length rope, which will become the main attribute of this game. The rope can be tied to two trees or held in your hands. The option of holding the rope in your hands is more preferable, because you do not have to untie it every time in order to lower it lower. The rope must be tensioned so that people can pass under it. After each time, it must be lowered lower to make it harder for participants to pass under it. The winner will be the one who can pass it under the rope that was lowered the lowest. When doing this, you need to try to keep your balance and not touch the rope, otherwise the attempt does not count.
"Guess who"
This game does not require any extra attributes. To play Guess Who, you need to place one person with their eyes closed, facing the tree and their back to the other players. One of the participants must draw something on the driver's back, for example, a circle, a line or a funny smiley face. After this, the driver must turn to the other participants, make any wish and name the one who drew on his back. If he managed to guess who did it, then the “artist” must fulfill his wish and then stand by the tree. If the driver made a mistake and incorrectly named the person who was running his fingers along his back, then he will have to independently fulfill his own desire. So you need to make reasonable wishes, because there is a possibility that you will have to fulfill it yourself.
"Blind construction"
This competition is suitable for those who want to have a lot of fun on their birthday, which is celebrated in nature. To conduct it, you will need to line up the guests around you with their eyes closed, and ask everyone to stretch out their hand. Then the driver must approach each person and tap any number on their hand, which will become the participant’s serial number. After the distribution of numbers is completed, you need to ask the participants, without opening their eyes, to line up in one line according to their serial numbers. At the same time, they cannot speak, so as not to prompt each other.
Everything that happens needs to be filmed so that you can laugh together later. You can be sure that there will be something to laugh about.
"Knight's Battle"
When celebrating a birthday in nature, you can organize a real knightly tournament for your guests. To do this, you need to give each of them a balloon, a pushpin and a disposable plastic plate. All knights (girls can also participate) should be asked to inflate balloons and tie them to their belts, and then disperse across the clearing in different directions. After the leader gives the command, the knights must begin the battle, trying to pierce the ball with a button. In this case, knights can defend themselves with a plate shield. The glory of the greatest knight will go to the one whose balloon did not burst during the battle.
"Volleyball, badminton and frisbee"
These classic outdoor staples can also make great birthday party activities. So if you are going to celebrate your birthday outdoors, then bring a volleyball, rackets with a shuttlecock or a plate. For their entertainment, these attributes can be used by those people who do not want to play other games or participate in a knightly tournament.
"Marco Polo"
If you are celebrating a birthday by the river, then you have the opportunity to play all kinds of water games. The essence of this game is quite simple, but you can get unforgettable emotions from Marco Polo. In order to play it, you need to go into the water and choose a driver, for example, the birthday boy. He must close his eyes, wait until the other participants move away from him, and start shouting “Marco.” In response to him, participants must answer “Polo”. This must be done.
Based on the sound, Marco must reach one of the other participants and give him his burden using touch.
"Campfire Song Contest"
When celebrating a birthday outdoors, you can have fun with a campfire singing contest. To do this, you need to light a fire and sit around it. Having divided into two teams, you can begin the song competition. There is no need to sing the songs in full. You can limit yourself to choruses. The team that managed to sing the last song wins
"Beach Architect"
If you are spending your birthday not just in nature, but next to a pond and a sandy beach, then for fun you can organize a competition to build various figures and structures from sand. The competition can be held for each guest individually or divided into teams.
"Beach Soccer"
An excellent entertainment with which you can “work up an appetite” is beach soccer. Both boys and girls can play it. However, if the ladies want to join the game, guys need to take this into account and be careful with them.
When choosing games for outdoor fun on your birthday, you need to give preference only to those that do not pose any physical danger. You don’t want to overshadow the birthday with an injury to one of the guests or the hero of the occasion.
Have you noticed how much strength and energy appears when you get out of the city? The smells of pine needles in the forest, the sound of the sea surf, the hot sun. If you want your trip to be remembered for a long time, think about active, interesting entertainment. Quests diversify your vacation, make it more fun and interesting.
Do not forget that joint activities unite the team more strongly. This is especially true if there are strangers or unfamiliar people among those gathered. They will give you a good mood and a couple of hundred great photos. If a group gathers of different ages, it will be fun for both the older generation and children.
Outdoor games for a group of adults: fun, active quests
Discus throw
Frisbee! A round piece of plastic with excellent aerodynamics - cheap, light, compact, fits in a travel bag or suitcase.
There are so many advantages, but the main one has not yet been named - the variety of entertainment that can be played with this simple equipment.
Ultimate is considered a popular, spectacular, dynamic direction. Participants are divided into two teams: attacking and defending. Requires a rectangular field. One half belongs to the first group, the rest to the second.
A member of the attacking team must pass the pass to his player located in the opponents' half of the field. Thus, the team earns a point. If such a pass is impossible, give a pass to any player on your team. You cannot hold the disc in your hands for more than 10-15 seconds, in which case the team loses.
The defending team must shoot down and catch the disc. It is allowed to interfere with a pass, but only one player must do so. You cannot attack a participant with a disk in a group, deliberately provoke physical contact, i.e. push, block. The philosophy of such a competition is: respect for the opponent.
This is one of the options for entertainment with a flying disc. There are guts, freestyle frisbee, flubber guts, and disc golf. Not to mention the fact that you can come up with your own rules and, for example, count points by the number of knocked down cones.
With a ball
If there is a ball, it won't be boring. Standard entertainment options: volleyball, football, basketball. Bouncers, familiar from school times, will amuse and unite vacationers.
Participants are divided into two equal teams. The right to first throw is played out before the start of the competition. A coin toss or traditional “rock, paper, scissors” is tossed. The task is simple: knock out as many opponents as possible. The team with remaining members wins.
Not everyone can play volleyball. If there is no net and the required skills, all you have to do is stand in a circle and toss the ball. When relaxing on the sea coast, it is recommended to play in the water.
Badminton
Another option for an energetic holiday, especially since the weather often doesn’t mind joining in the fun. The wind will carry the shuttlecock to the neighboring team (why isn’t this a reason for a new acquaintance?), or too strong a blow will send the projectile into the bushy spruce paws, and now you are already climbing trees.
And if you spend time on the coast, complicate the task and hit the ball while standing in the water. Do you see how many options there are? All you need is to take your rackets and shuttlecock with you.
12 notes
The quest, which requires preliminary preparation, is suitable for relaxation during a picnic. The organizer prepares 12 notes, each describing the location of the next note. The goal is to find the hidden prize. If there are few places where there is a possibility of hiding a note, use the “exchange point”. To receive the next clue, the participant must complete the task.
For example:
- do 30 push-ups;
- solve the riddle;
- admit to a ridiculous act;
- Sing a song;
- do a team dance.
To increase excitement and involvement, divide participants into two groups. The team that collects 12 notes faster and finds the prize wins the competition.
Twister on the grass
The rules for playing on grass are similar to those for playing at home. Get ready-made gear or spray paint in different colors. In a sheet of A4 size, cut out round holes with a diameter of 20 cm. Using the resulting stencil, apply colored paint to the grass. After some time it will dry out. And you can start having fun, familiar entertainment.
Cool games in nature for a group of adults are different, and it is not at all necessary to limit yourself to the known. Make up your own rules, fantasize, enjoy your vacation!
Silent system
Fun with a trick. Participants stand in a row shoulder to shoulder. The leader from behind pats him on the back a number of times. The number of touches determines the serial number. After assigning numbers by whistle, the participants line up in order. It is forbidden to talk or gesture.
The catch is that the organizer is not prohibited from assigning the same numbers to several people.
The fun begins at the moment when the participants, not understanding the setup, moo and wink, try to take their place. It is recommended to film the event with a video camera. It's funnier to watch the resulting video.
Snake and chicken
The fun is suitable for both groups of young people and families with children. To begin with, a snake and a hen are selected, and the rest are assigned the role of chickens, after which the chicks hide behind the laying hen. Then the main characters stand opposite each other.
The snake's goal is to catch as many chickens as possible, and the chicken's goal is to keep it away from them. The chick is considered captured if it is caught with both hands. The round ends in two cases: the hen grabs the snake by the nose or all the chicks are caught.
Buffaloes in the corral
Another great option when your blood is boiling and you have more than enough strength! First, two buffalos are appointed. The rest of the players stand around them, forming a corral. And now the fun begins, because the task of the buffaloes is to get out of the pen.
Naturally, you need to behave like real bulls: don’t use your hands, don’t kick your legs, go for the break! The task of the other players is to form a circle as in a round dance and hold on tightly with their hands. This is a very active and contact fun, be sure to remember safety precautions.
Intellectual entertainment
Crocodile
When physical energy is wasted, but you don’t want to end the holiday, you can switch to calmer entertainment. Classic – “Crocodile”. The rules are simple and clear: one thinks of a word, the other shows it. The players' task is to guess.
Danetki
Do you want to feel like Sherlock Holmes and solve a complicated case? “Danettes” will allow you to try on the role of detectives without getting up from your blanket in the park. The gist is this: the presenter tells the listeners part of a strange story with an unusual ending. The players' task is to find out what happened and why.
Important point. The presenter can only answer “yes”, “no” and “irrelevant”. Not easy? But very interesting!
“Danettes” will appeal to both the older generation and children, especially since there are many sets for a wide variety of audiences. You can purchase special cards, or download tasks from the Internet.
