Musical competition guess the melody. Ready script. Fun music competitions at a wedding - a selection of interesting and funny games

Funny, amusing competitions will allow you to have a good rest and have fun at the New Year's party. For the presenters, who are tasked with organizing the entertainment part, we offer an original selection of games, competitions and quizzes for the scenario of a festive corporate party!

To make the New Year's holiday more successful, we have made for you a selection of the most interesting competitions and fun.

Table

To begin with, we propose to include cool competitions at the table in the program of the New Year's corporate party at work.

What will Santa Claus give?

Attributes: small pieces of paper, pens (or pencils).

Before sitting down to the festive table, guests receive a small piece of paper and write down what gift they would like to wish for themselves in the new year. This could be, for example, a new apartment, a car, a dog, a trip, money, a lover...

The leaves are rolled up into a tube and placed in a beautiful box, a hat... At some point in the evening, the host asks everyone to pull out a random piece of paper and find out what good Santa Claus has prepared for him for the next year. Everyone has different desires, so it will be fun! And your wish will come true if you save the piece of paper until the next holiday, and then tell about what came true.

I want, I want, I want!... Branded want

Another game about wishes. But this time without attributes.

5-7 volunteers are called. They take turns naming their wish for next year. You need to speak quickly, without holding up the line! Stopping for more than 5 seconds means the player is eliminated. We play until we win - until the last player! (Small prize possible).

Let's raise a glass! New Year's toasts

When guests get bored in the midst of a feast, invite them not just to fill their glasses, but to make a toast or congratulations to everyone present.

There are two conditions - each speech must be one sentence long and begin with the letters of the alphabet in order!

For example:

The most fun moment is when the letters e, e, yu, y, s come into play.

“I’ll sing about Frost!” Compose a ditty

During the evening, those who wish must write and then present to the audience a ditty, which contains New Year’s words or themes pre-set by the presenter. It could be “New Year, Father Frost, Snow Maiden.”

You can compose awkward songs - with the last line unrhymed, but maintaining the given rhythm of the ditty. Example:

Hello, red Santa Claus
you brought us gifts!
The most important - ten days
Let's just relax.

Snow news

Attributes: Cards with word-nouns. There are 5 completely unrelated nouns written on the cards. It is advisable to include at least 1 winter word there.

The participant draws out a card, reads out loud the given words and within 30 seconds (although if those present at the party are already, well, very tired, then 1 minute is possible) comes up with a news story from one sentence. And all the words from the card should fit in it.

Nouns can be turned into other parts of speech (adjectives, verbs, adverbs...) and changed as you like, and the news must certainly be interesting and funny.

You can start the news with the words “Sensation!”

For example:

Fun guaranteed!

I like/don't like my neighbor

The game does not require any improvised means! But it requires a sufficient degree of emancipation or relaxed relationships in the team.

The presenter invites everyone present to name which part of the body (can be clothing) they like about the person sitting on the left, and which they don’t like. For example: “My neighbor on the right, I like his left ear and don’t like his bulging pocket.”

After everyone has named and remembered what was said, the presenter asks to kiss (or stroke) what they like and bite (or spank) what they don’t like.

Not everyone can play, but only 6-8 brave people are called into the circle.

Our friend is orange!

This game can be played at a New Year's party in the office only if all colleagues know each other well. Or at least everyone has a friend or girlfriend in the team.

The presenter thinks of a person from those present at the table. And the participants, with the help of leading questions, try to guess who it is.

But the questions are not simple - they are associations! Whoever guesses first wins.

The questions are something like this:

Yin-yang cones

Attributes: 2 cones - one painted white, the other black. If you have nothing to dye with, you can wrap them with colored woolen threads of the desired color.

The course of the fun: a host is selected from among the guests, who will have these two cones. They are signals of his answers, because he is not allowed to speak at all. He thinks of a word, and the others, with the help of leading questions, try to guess what he has in mind.

The whole secret is that he can only silently show: YES - this is a white lump, NO - black. If neither this nor that, he can lift both at once.

The first one to guess correctly wins.

Associations on paper. Broken telephone associations

Attributes of the players: paper and pen.

The first person writes any noun word on his piece of paper and speaks it quietly into his neighbor’s ear. He comes up with his own association for this word, writes it down and whispers it to the next person.

This is how associations are transmitted along the chain... The last one speaks out loud the word given to him. It is compared with the original source and it is fun to find out at which link in the chain of associations the failure occurred: everyone reads out their nouns.

funny neighbor

Any number of guests can play.

We stand in a circle, and the driver begins: he performs an action with his neighbor that will make him laugh. He can take him by the ear, pat him on the shoulders, tap him on the nose, flick his hand, touch his knee... Everyone standing in the circle must repeat the same movement with their neighbor.

The one who laughs is eliminated.

Then the driver makes the next movement, everyone repeats. If no one laughed, new movement. And so on until the last “Nesmeyana”.

New Year's rhyme machine

The driver reads out little-known New Year/winter quatrains. But he only says the first 2 lines out loud.

The rest are invited to take part in a competition for the best rhymer.

The guests come up with and rhyme the last two lines. Then the funniest and most original poet is selected, and then the original poem is read out amid general laughter and joy.

Drawing competition “I see, I see New Year!”

Those who wish are given A-4 sheets of free-form lines and felt-tip pens. Everyone has the same image (copier can help you).

The task is to complete a picture on a New Year's theme.

Of course, everyone knows who in the team is best versed in painting. So he or she will evaluate the results. Whoever is more interesting is the winner! There can be many winners - it’s a holiday!

Movable

Nimble bump

Attributes: pine or fir cones.

Progress of the game: guests can either sit at the table or stand in a circle (if they have been sitting too long by this time). The task is to pass the cone to each other. The condition is that you can transmit it only by holding it on the back of your two palms. Try it, it's quite difficult... But also fun!

You can also divide into equal teams, and whichever one hands over its cone faster wins.

My Frost is the most beautiful!

You will need various items such as: garlands, funny hats, scarves, beads, ribbons. socks, mittens, women's bags... Two or three ladies who want to be in the role of Snow Maidens for a few minutes each choose a man to turn him into Father Frost.

From items prepared in advance on the table, the Snow Maidens create a cheerful image of their hero. In principle, you can end here by choosing the most successful and funniest model...

The Snow Maiden can take snowflakes for herself, which will help with the “design” of Santa Claus and with advertising.

Snow paths

This is a very successful game to determine pairs for subsequent New Year competitions.

Attributes: colored ribbons in winter shades (blue, light blue, silver...). Length 4-5 meters. It is necessary to cut the ribbons in half in advance and sew them together, mixing up the halves.

3-4 pairs of players are called. The presenter holds a basket/box, to which lie multi-colored ribbons, the ends of which hang down.

Players choose a pair and the color of the ribbon, expecting that there will be a single ribbon at the ends of the same color. But the fun is that the ribbons are sewn in different ways, and completely unexpected pairs are formed.

Happy people train

Everyone loves round dances: both small and large (and those who are embarrassed to admit it)!

Give your guests a round dance-train. It is clear that vacationers at a party may find it difficult to motivate themselves to participate in an active competition, so come up with branded chants for them.

The host drives the train around the hall, it fills and fills with guests. And when it is clear that no one else can be pulled out from behind the tables, train dances are arranged (the host can show them) to daring music.

New Year's fixed deposit

Attributes: candy wrapper money.

Two pairs are selected, each with a man and a woman. It is advisable that the men be dressed approximately the same (if one has a jacket, then the other should also be wearing a jacket).

Dear women, the New Year is approaching, and you need to make a timely deposit in the bank. Here's some money for you (each of the women is given a pack of candy wrappers). These are initial payments. You will put them in the bank on a super fixed deposit. Your men are your banks. Only one condition - each “bill” is in a separate cell! Pockets, sleeves, collars, lapels and other secluded places can become cells. Contributions can be made while the music is playing. Just remember where you put your money. Let's start!

The task is given 1-2 minutes.

Attention! Intermediate check: whoever managed to make a full investment (not a single candy wrapper left in their hands) receives an additional point. All the money is in business!

And now, dear depositors, you must quickly withdraw cash - after all, we know that it was a super quick deposit. Each of you will be filming blindfolded, but you will always remember what you put and where. Music! Let's start!

We are actors no matter what!

Those who wish to participate are given cards with tasks. None of them knows in advance what they will have to face.

The presenter announces that the participants need to walk in front of everyone to the music, depicting what is written on the cards. Here is a sample list:

The tasks can be supplemented and expanded with any ideas.

Funny joke “Bear in a den or slow-witted spectators”

The presenter invites someone who wants to portray a pantomime, takes him to a separate room and gives him a “secret” task - to portray a bear (hare or kangaroo) without words.

Meanwhile, the presenter's assistant negotiates with the others NOT to understand his body movements.

The volunteer returns and begins to show the selected animal with movements and gestures. The guests pretend that they do not understand and call anything but the person they are shown.

Does he waddle around? Yes, this is the platypus (lame fox, tired boar)!
- Licking his paw? The cat is probably washing itself.
Etc.

It happens that the person portraying is surprised by the guests’ lack of understanding and begins to get angry: “Are you so stupid? It's so simple! And if he shows hellish patience, shows it again and again - he has nerves of iron! But this also amuses the employees gathered at the party. There is no need to delay. When the player begins to run out of imagination and patience, you can guess the correct animal.

3. Music competitions

Can you imagine the New Year without music, songs and dances? That's right, no! For additional entertainment and fun, many music competition games have been invented for the New Year's corporate party.

Scene “Clip-song”

This is the most creative musical fun for a New Year's corporate evening.

Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Santa Claus, a 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”.

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:

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 little of my 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.

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).

It could be Karabas Barabas, the Snow Maiden, an evil policeman, a kind Baba Yaga, or 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.

4. Team

Team games for the New Year's corporate party will once again strengthen team spirit and solidarity, serving as unscheduled team building.

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.

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 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.

Beads for Christmas tree

Offer the teams paper clips in large quantities (it is advisable to choose multi-colored plastic ones). Task: in the allotted time (5 minutes, no more), long chains are assembled to the accompaniment of pleasant music.

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 makes simple riddles, and the players build guessed words from balls with letters.

The fastest players get points, and those with the most points win.

5. Bonus – competitions for an all-female team!

These games are suitable for a New Year's corporate party for doctors, teachers, or for a kindergarten.

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!

Let's dress up for the New Year! or “Dark Outfit”

Two participants stand near their chest/box/basket, which contain different items of clothing. They are first blindfolded, and then they must put on everything from the chest as quickly as possible.

Speed ​​and accuracy are valued. Although everyone has more fun because things get mixed up between the players.

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!

Music always and everywhere accompanies us, reflecting our mood like no other form of art. There are few people who do not at least mentally hum their favorite melodies.

It is impossible to imagine a holiday without music. Of course, competitions that require encyclopedic knowledge and musical education are not suitable for an ordinary group of fun-loving friends, relatives, or colleagues: why put someone in an awkward position? Musical games for adults should be fun, relaxed, and focused solely on the love of singing and music.

National music game karaoke

In recent decades, the musical entertainment of karaoke has truly become popular. In a holiday park, on the coast, in a square on a fair day, at a birthday party, at a wedding, a microphone and a ticker screen attract crowds of people who want to try their hand at singing, support performers or just have fun. There are even television projects in which all interested passersby are invited to participate.

Guess the melody

At corporate parties, men and women willingly participate in the game, which also became popular thanks to the famous TV show “Guess the Melody.” Two participants or two teams declare to the presenter how many first notes they can guess a well-known melody from. If players manage to do this, they receive points. If the melody is not guessed from the first three to five notes (I must say that three is not enough even for an expert), the opponent makes his bid.

The round lasts until the melody is called or until 10-12 notes, when the presenter, having not received an answer, calls the piece himself. Then it is performed by backing players or professional vocalists, which decorates the event.

A simpler version of the game is to guess the artist or. To do this, the toastmaster selects fragments of not the most famous hits. The age of the participants must be taken into account. Those who are 30-40 are not interested in the music of teenagers, just as they will not know the songs of the 60s and 70s.

Musical casino

4-5 players are invited to participate. The equipment you will need is the familiar top with an arrow, as in “What? Where? When?”, and a table with sectors for tasks. Tasks are two or three clues contained in thesis or questions that will help players guess the name of the singer.

The trick is that the questions should not be too serious, rather humorous. For example: “He thinks that it’s better in no way instead of somehow” (A. Buynov), “Because of his shocking appearance and hoarseness in his voice, this singer scares naughty children” (N. Dzhigurda), “He’s the only one like that in the whole country” (N . Basque).

If the player guesses correctly, a section of the song is played. The winner will be rewarded with the right to order the next musical composition of the evening.

Song in pantomime

One of the players must exclusively use gestures to depict the content of some lines of the song. His teammates must guess what kind of song the “suffering” one is trying to “voice” with their pantomime. In order to “make fun” of the wriggling pantomime performer, you can persuade the guessing participants in advance not to name the correct answer under any circumstances, but in order, on the contrary, to simplify the task, you can simply say the name of the performer or. Two or three teams play, 2 songs are offered for each team. The reward for winning is the honorable right to sing karaoke together.

Musical games for adults at the table

Musical table games for adults keep an audience as long as it's interesting. Therefore, to the famous competition "Who will outsing whom" you need to be creative. These should not just be songs whose lyrics contain female or male names, names of flowers, dishes, cities...
It’s more interesting when the toastmaster suggests the beginning: “What!..” The players sing “Why are you standing, swaying, thin rowan tree...” or another song with such a word at the beginning. Meanwhile, the maestro, as if by chance, can play several notes from different songs - sometimes this hint helps to avoid unwanted pauses.

By the way, a video example of such a game is a scene of a wolf with a choir of bunny boys from the famous series of cartoons “Well, wait a minute!” Let's look and be moved!

Another fun music game just for fun is "Add-ons". The toastmaster offers everyone a familiar song. While he explains the conditions, this melody plays quietly. While performing the song, the participants add funny phrases at the end of each line, for example, “with socks”, “without socks”, alternating them. (With a tail, without a tail, under the table, on the table, under a pine tree, on a pine tree...). It will turn out like this: “In the field there was a birch tree... in socks. The curly-haired woman stood in the field... without socks...” You can invite one team to prepare phrases for “adding”, and the other to choose a song and then sing together.

Musical games for adult parties are good because they quickly lift the mood of the whole group and help you relax, leaving behind only pleasant emotions and vivid impressions of a great holiday spent in the company of friends.

Not a single special event can take place without musical accompaniment, especially when it comes to a wedding. With the help of music, both guests and newlyweds have the opportunity to relax and have a lot of fun. And it’s great if the entertainment program includes original music competitions, and their organization is approached responsibly. In this case, no one will remain indifferent: regardless of age and social status, if the repertoire is chosen correctly, everyone will want to take part in the game.

The beauty of holding music competitions at a wedding for guests and newlyweds is that games can be very different.

For young people

Young guests will probably like it more - cheerful, incendiary and arousing excitement. Two or more people can take part in them. But mass competitions where the maximum number of guests participate are especially successful: up to several dozen in each team.

Selecting active competitions, important to consider:

• age and status of guests;
• the place where the competition is planned to be held.

For small rooms and older guests

If there is not enough space in the hall or the overwhelming number of guests are elderly, then it is worth choosing song competitions.


They will cheer up the newlyweds and guests and will definitely not let them get bored. When holding table music competitions you can offer not only to sing songs, but also ask to perform simple team tasks

– the right side of the table against the left, the table of the groom’s guests against the table of the bride’s guests, etc. Such games help those present to get to know each other better and create an atmosphere of joy and fun, which is so important at a wedding.

Preparation

In order for the competition to be successful, it is necessary to think about the smallest details, because if the music stops at the climax, it will not be easy to correct the mistake.

Equipment If there is musical equipment in the establishment where the banquet is planned, then.


it is necessary to carefully check its condition and technical capabilities in advance You shouldn’t rely on the administrator’s assurances that “everything is fine.” It's better not to be lazy:

• come to a cafe or restaurant first and check everything
• settings;
• the number of electrical outlets required;

Are the wires long enough?

Props If props are needed for wedding music competitions, they must be prepared in the required quantities. than to then regret the lack. Take into account force majeure: something can break, tear, fly away, get wet, so a reserve will not hurt.

Repertoire

The age category of the guests must be taken into account. If the vast majority are older, then it is unlikely that those present will be delighted with Yegor Creed and club music.


It's great if you can find out in advance the musical preferences of the majority. It is not necessary to play his favorite song for everyone - with a large number of guests this is hardly possible. But if many people, for example, love Russian chanson, then the task of the organizers of the music competition becomes much easier.

Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to choose a musical accompaniment that everyone would like at once. But if you study the preferences of the guests in advance, then their You can play your favorite melodies one by one or make a medley so that no one is left without their favorite song and wants to take part in the competition.

Cool TOP 11

Best Recognition

The essence of the competition is that guests compete to see who can type the most pleasant phrases (preferably from songs) for their other half. All this is done impromptu, to the tune of a playing melody.

Interesting! A loved one or loved one can also be imaginary. The newlyweds are given the role of judge.

The melodies chosen are very different - rhythmic, cheerful, sentimental. It turns out very interesting when the competition participants sing compliments to their other halves, and the music suddenly stops. In such a situation, the most important thing is not to get confused and continue the serenade!

Guess the melody

A well-known competition where guests must guess the melody. Despite the widespread Most guests perceive the offer to participate in this competition with liveliness and enthusiasm.


It will be interesting if you prepare in advance not just a melody, but musical recordings-confusions. For example, the words from the song “Everything for You” are heard with a completely different melody. The contestants' task is to guess which song's melody is included in such a phonogram.

turnip

As you know, the fairy-tale turnip was pulled by its “tail”; the same “tail” is not difficult to find in songs. The last words of each line of the first verse act as the tail. For example, in the typical song “Wedding” the last words sound like: “be silent...”, “sad”, “mochi...” and “silence...”.

Important! Not all songs are easy to guess, so you should prepare at least 10 options. You can make a selection of more, but you shouldn’t get carried away so as not to bore your guests with the monotony.

As for the “tails,” they are pre-written on beautiful cards and laid out on a tray. It is noteworthy that both teams and individual participants can play.

Song requests

Such a competition is very successful when requests from guests are prepared in advance. Applications are needed in order to understand what songs the guests want to perform. For example, the father-in-law loves the composition “Why the Soul Sings,” so he indicates it in advance in the application.


Such requests must be made in writing. It’s great if you manage to decorate them beautifully. Then the applications are laid out on the wedding table and await their turn.

When the feast had already begun and the guests were having fun, you can arrange a kind of sports lotto, when guests select one or another application. After the selection, the applicant’s request is voiced, and the guests perform the ordered song.

Brain workout

This competition can be classified as. Its advantage lies in the fact that It can be carried out both individually and for teams.

The toastmaster invites guests to sing all the songs that can be related to the wedding theme. The winner is the participant or team who sang the wedding song last.

Congratulations to the newlyweds

For such a table competition two teams needed.


The presenter gives each participant a sheet of paper with words, after which in 5 minutes you need to compose a song with congratulations for the newlyweds. You can only use words that are written on paper. And the winners of the competition are chosen by the heroes of the occasion.

Advice! Instead of composing the song again, you can remake a popular hit by inserting the resulting words into it.

Dance over the abyss

Guests should be divided into pairs, each pair is given a newspaper. Music plays and couples dance, but so as not to step over the edge of the newspaper.

After the first song, the newspaper is folded in half and the competition continues. The couple that steps over the edge of the newspaper is eliminated. The competition continues until there is only one couple left who managed to “dance over the abyss,” that is, not to step over the edge of the newspaper. She gets what she deserves.

Revelations

Teams must take part in such a competition, not individual participants, otherwise the competition will lose its entertainment value.

The essence of this cool competition is that the first team asks a question to its opponents with a line from a song. The second team’s task is to answer with a line from another song, and the meaning of the answer should correspond as much as possible to the question.

For example:

• question: “Where are you, my dark-eyed one?”;
• answer: “There behind the fogs, eternal, drunken...”

Talking hat

The toastmaster brings a certain headdress to the bride’s head, which is supposedly capable of reading the newlywed’s thoughts. The toastmaster asks the bride what she is thinking about at the moment, and at this time music is broadcast that expresses the thoughts of the bride.

Interesting! Such a prank can be done not only with the bride, but also with all interested guests.

If organized properly, there is no doubt that everyone present will be in a festive mood. With the help of witty and sparkling jokes, funny puns, and the talent of the participants, the joyful atmosphere that is necessary at a wedding will be maintained. Such a holiday will be remembered for a long time by both guests and newlyweds.

A wedding is not only marriage registration and feasting, but also an entertainment program. What else, besides music, fits so organically into the cheerful and noisy atmosphere of the festival? Music competitions at weddings are the most popular. They do not require specific skills or abilities, because popular musical compositions are heard everywhere.

Regardless of whether the bride and groom choose a traditional celebration or prefer a more informal setting, there are many music competitions to suit each style of celebration.

There are many games that are played to music; you can choose from competitions that have already been tested over the years, or come up with your own.

The main thing is that they coincide with the theme of the celebration, the worldview of the guests and newlyweds. Therefore, it is worth choosing modern songs or those that were so popular before that older relatives constantly sing them.

Otherwise, the contestants may not recognize the melody or the meaning of the words.

The simplest and at the same time famous music competition is “Guess the Melody”. To do this, you need to stock up on music from which the words have been removed.

If there are many older guests at the wedding, then preference is given to Russian-language songs that were popular 10-20 years ago.

But if the holiday is created for young people, then you should choose modern songs, foreign or domestic. National compositions that are well known enough to be able to guess their motive are also good. It is better not to use melodies from rap, most often they are very similar to each other.

The second competition that both guests and newlyweds will enjoy is “Remember the Song.”

To do this, several teams are created that must take turns singing the words of a composition on a given topic.

Those who remember the most songs will win.

• Topics for the competition:
• wedding songs;
• where they sing about love;
• those that mention the names of the newlyweds;

telling about the profession of the newlyweds (if it is popular).

This competition has a more difficult version in which guests are divided into two teams and must remember opposing concepts.

The first group remembers words about everything “very, very big”, the other – small.

Song competitions - the funniest options

In addition to competitions related to music, there are also games that are based on the lyrics of songs. And it doesn’t matter who wins, the main thing is that all the guests laugh during the process.

For such competitions, it is advisable to invite a qualified presenter - it is almost impossible to conduct them yourself. Without special training and developed skills, even the most fun situation will look boring.

In order to involve all the guests, only a few sheets of paper with selected words are needed in the competition to congratulate the newlyweds.

According to the rules, the invitees must create a song in which they congratulate the newlyweds on this significant day, but to do this, use only the given words or phrases.

There can be 2 teams, but 3 is best to maintain excitement, but not provoke rivalry between guests.

Depending on the complexity and number of words, 5-10 minutes are given for writing. After this, each team chooses one representative who will sing it to the newlyweds.

It is best to warn guests that they will evaluate not only the text itself, but also how artistically it was presented.

The main judges in this competition are the bride and groom, who will decide who to give the prize to.

You will not need any special props to run this competition. To begin with, the host forms several teams, each of which should have 3-5 guests. After that, he explains the rules and says a phrase from any song, the first team must answer it with a line from another song. The next group does the same, but for the words of the previous one.

This happens until the last group remains, or if two teams cannot continue the battle.

This is a very fun competition, it is important that the operator captures it as a memory. Therefore, it is necessary to warn him in advance about long-term filming. To play the “Broadcasting Crown” you will need a paper hat or crown and a piece of music.

The host first asks what the bride is thinking about, pretending to put a crown on her head. The first excerpt plays in the background. The toastmaster does the same with the groom and guests. There are no winners or losers in this competition, it is aimed at entertaining everyone present.

The better the song excerpts are chosen, the more laughter they will generate.

How to hold a dance competition at a wedding

Every holiday involves dancing, and weddings are no exception. But the advantages of this celebration are that, in addition to simple traditional dances, various competitions can be held. The tasks that guests perform to the music can be very different: from serious, requiring concentration, to absolutely comical.

It all depends on the general atmosphere and what kind of reaction you want to evoke from others.

To conduct the “Strange Movements” competition you will need:

1. 4-5 chairs, depending on the number of participants.
2. 4-5 cuts of melodies.
3. Participants.

Chairs are placed on the platform at intervals of 50 cm. Participants are asked to sit on chairs, explaining that they will have to dance to music without getting up from them. The one who does it least artistically is eliminated.

At the next stage, the task is made more difficult for those remaining - they should not move their legs, they can only move their torso and arms. Again, the weakest performance guarantees elimination. After this, they are prohibited from moving their arms; they can only move their head or torso. When only two remain, they are given the task of “dancing” with facial expressions.

The one who does it the most funny will win.

To conduct the “Balls” competition you will need:

1. Several pairs of guests.
2. Balloons filled with helium.
3. Ribbons or thick threads, 1.5 m long.
4. Music for slow dancing.

One end of the tape is attached to the ball, and the other is tied to the woman's ankle. The girl and the guy stand opposite each other and clasp their hands. After this, the music is turned on and the couples begin to dance. The main task is to burst the opponents' balloons, but at the same time save your own. You can use everything for this except your hands, which should not open. If one of the pair lets go of the partner’s hand, then the pair is considered eliminated.

The winners are those who are left alone on the dance floor.

A very funny competition for a wedding “Musical Hat”:

It is important to select competitions and music so that they are suitable for the age of the competitors. The younger the guests, the more active they can be. This means that the melodies can be more incendiary.

Musical competitions are important because they entertain guests and newlyweds, so they must be held at any wedding so that guests do not get bored. For this, it is best to hire a toastmaster, because he has experience and can present the most boring situation as funny and amusing. It’s impossible not to consider cool instruments that will lift the mood of the guests and remain in the memory of each of the participants. Would you like to see music competitions at your wedding?

It would seem that what could be easier than organizing dances? Turned on the music and the fun began! Not so. People are all different: some will start dancing in half a turn, while others can sit at the table almost the whole evening.

An expanding dance, or everyone is dancing!

A chair is placed in the middle of the room and a guy sits on it. Two girls stand behind him, and each puts her hand on his shoulder. The guy, without looking, takes one of the girls by the hand and they go dancing. The remaining girl sits on a chair and the guys walk around, stand behind the girl, and she takes the hand of one of the guys and they also go to dance. Everything continues until all the guests are on the dance floor.

Sirtaki in Russian

All guests must be lined up in two lines: male and female, facing each other. It is advisable that there are at least 10 people in each line. Everyone holds each other's hands, bent at the elbow. To the music of the Greek dance sirtaki (at first it is not very fast), at the command of the leader, the male line takes three steps forward and bows, then takes three steps back. And then the line of women also takes three steps forward, makes the same bow and returns to their place three steps back.

Thus, two ranks, having completed the simplest dance movement, return to their places.

1. bow
2. turn 180 degrees
3. right foot stomp
4. left foot stomp
5. jump (bouncing)
6. friendly male “Eh!” and in response a mischievous female “Uh-uh!”

The chain of movements, which are done by men and women in turn, should result in the following: 3 steps forward - bow - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - turn around - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - stomp with your right foot - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - stomp with your left foot - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - jump - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - “Eh!”, “Uh-uh” - 3 steps back.

Having performed the movements, they must be repeated in the same sequence, first, but only at an accelerated pace, and then at an even more accelerated pace. The leader needs to help the dancers and suggest movement commands, then the result will be a well-coordinated, fast and lively dance.

Dance with tasks

Everyone dances, the music stops every now and then and the leader gives some commands, for example:

• We greet each other, shout “Hello”!
• Let's jump up to see who's higher!
• Let's clap our hands!
• Let's wave our arms!
• We're spinning like snowflakes!
• swaying our hips!
• We shout: “Happy New Year!” and etc.

Dance medley

Any number of people can participate in this dance competition, but only in pairs (M+F). It is necessary to record about 8-10 different musical compositions in advance (this could be: lambada, waltz, polka, tango, dance of little ducklings, rock and roll, boogie-woogie, etc.) and play them one by one. The contestants' task is to quickly switch from one music to another. At the end of the competition, the best couple is determined by audience applause. You can choose the best dancers in each individual dance type.

Musical dialogue

Two teams play (it’s more interesting when men play against women). The first team begins to sing, performing a line, verse or chorus of a song where there is some question, for example: “Well, where are you, girls, girls, girls, short skirts, skirts, skirts?” The second team must perform an answer to this song, for example: “Where the maple rustles over the river wave...” and ask their question. You cannot repeat previously played songs. The game continues at the discretion of the host - as long as the players are excited. The process of coming up with questions and answers is very interesting!
