1) Guests are announced that there is only one roll left toilet paper and they propose to divide it among everyone right now. The roll is passed on to everyone present at the table and everyone unwinds and tears off as much as they want. Surely everyone will try to grab more for themselves. After this, the presenter announces that whoever rewinds how many divisions must tell as many facts about himself, which must be interesting and truthful. After this competition, you will find out...

2) Speed ​​competition- Who can drink a glass of thick tomato juice through a straw the fastest?

The presenter asks him various questions, for example, “Do you often go to this establishment,” “What do you do there,” “Why do you like it there,” and the guest must answer.

4) Truth or Ransom: The host selects any guest and asks “Truth or ransom?” If a person answers “True,” he must honestly answer any question the host asks him. Well, if he answered “Ransom”, it means he must complete some task. After completion, he himself becomes the leader.

5) Nonsense:
Questions are written, the same number for each participant. When the questions are written, then in order to write the answer, a question word is asked, for example, if there is a question - “Which direction does the northeast wind blow?”, then you only need to say “in which direction?”
When the answers are written, the questions are read in full. Sometimes such nonsense comes out that you might fall under a chair!

6) Fortune Pie: cut a circle out of cardboard, paint it on one side so it looks like a pie, and cut it into pieces. Now you need to draw a picture on the back of each piece and put the pie together. At the holiday, each guest must choose and take a piece for themselves. The picture is what promises the future. For example, if you get an image of a heart, it means it’s waiting for you great love. The image of a letter - to receive news, a road - to travel, a key - to change your place of residence, a car - to buy a vehicle. Rainbow or sun foretell good mood. Well and so on)))

7) Contest: 3 women required and main character(man). The women are seated on chairs and the man is blindfolded. You can spin it to distract attention. At this time, 2 women are exchanged for 2 men (men wear tights). The main character is brought to those sitting and he must identify (for example, his wife - she must be from 3 participants).

They blindfold someone who is not involved, i.e. the audience is distracting - look carefully, otherwise there will be nothing to drink.... the presenter at this time puts everything aside.... it was a spectacle =))) one like the sapper moves his hands across the grass, using a second compass, it won’t be amiss if the audience also shouts: you’re about to step on cucumbers! etc

9) Participants are divided into 2 equal teams, they are given fins and binoculars. It is necessary to run along a given trajectory wearing fins and looking through binoculars, only with reverse side. The team that finishes it faster wins.

The point is this - 2 sets of names of body parts are written on pieces of paper - well, hand, stomach, forehead.... then 2 sets of names are pulled out in pairs. The task is to touch the indicated parts of the body. and in the process...it turns out to be just a visual aid to the Kama Sutra; here a camera is simply necessary!!! and the couple who managed to touch the largest number of points wins!!! You will really like this competition if it is held in a youth company of close friends.

12) Dancing on a leaf

13) Balls with a secret: You need to prepare tasks in advance, written on pieces of paper, and place them in balloons, which should then be inflated and hung around the room. This way you will decorate the hall, and towards the end of the holiday you will also entertain the guests. Let participants choose one or two balloons, pop them, read them and complete the tasks. Write something simple, for example, “make a toast in honor of all the women gathered,” “sing a song with the words “spring” and “love,” etc. Thus, the good old game of forfeits becomes more interesting and varied.

14) WITH eyes closed : Wearing thick mittens, participants must determine by touch what kind of person is in front of them. The game is more interesting when the guys guess the girls, and the girls guess the guys. You can feel the whole person.

(photo from personal archive :)) it was fun :))

15) Fanta- This is a wonderful opportunity to have fun, have fun and make fun of each other. Usually one leader is chosen, who turns his back to everyone else. Behind him, the second presenter takes a phantom (an object that belongs to one of the guests) and asks a trivial question: “What should this phantom do?” And anyone who wants to get their phantom back must fulfill the will of the presenter. But first you need to collect “forfeits” and these games are perfect for this.

Children's games and competitions at home

Children's games and competitions at home:

The guys close their eyes and extend their hands to each other: one with palms up, the other down. One imagines some image and tries to convey it to the second, stroking it with his palms (for example: the sea, the wind, two people under a lantern, etc.). Then the pairs change.

The group stands in a circle. The presenter is in the center, he has a folded “newspaper” in his hands. The name of someone from the circle is called, and the presenter tries to insult him with a newspaper. In order not to be insulted, the person named must quickly name someone else standing in the circle. If a person is insulted before he says his name, he becomes the driver. After some time, an additional rule is introduced: the former presenter, as soon as he stands in the circle, must quickly name a name. And if he doesn’t manage to do this before the new leader insults him, he becomes the leader again. In a group in which there are many unfamiliar people, it is sometimes advisable for the person whose name was called to raise his hand, since the leader may not be familiar with names.

The group stands in a circle and the first one says their name. The second one says the name of the first one and his own. The third is the name of the first, the second and your own. Along with your name, you can depict your favorite gesture, name your favorite drink, personal quality(option - starting with the first letter of the name), hobby, etc.

They are tied to two cars long threads, and pencils are tied to the ends, or maybe spools of thread. At the leader’s command, the players begin to wind them up. The one whose car reaches the finish line the fastest wins.

The child leaves the room, and meanwhile you hide the previously discussed objects. These can be toys or things, for example, a car, a doll, a ball, a hat, etc.

Lay two newspapers on the floor. The players' task is to stand on the newspaper and fold it three times without stepping on the floor or helping themselves in any way. The winner is awarded a folded newspaper.

I assign fictitious names to all players (fairy-tale character, cartoon character, animal). The players are positioned in a circle around the leader holding the ball in his hands. You can also prepare leaves with names and pin them to each player.

10 most interesting games For the company

For many, the holidays mean a continuous feast. All the festivities come down to one competition: who can drink and eat the most. Well, who cares - good luck! For everyone else who wants to leave a pleasant trace in their memory of meeting friends, laugh, flex their brains, and learn something new about each other - these cute home games.

Each participant writes 10 words on a piece of paper. These pieces of paper are placed in a hat. Then the game itself begins. Participants take turns pulling one piece of paper from a hat and try to draw or show the word they come across. Come up with prizes for the winners yourself: from 100 grams to the “Order of Sutulov”!

The game is similar to "broken phone". Only each subsequent player transfers into the other’s ear not the word itself, but any association. It will be very interesting to compare the hidden word with the last one! Trust me, it will be fun.

All players except one sit in a row. One is blindfolded and tries to recognize his friends by touch. The most interesting thing is what parts of the body the presenter will be allowed to see!

And this game requires patience and certain attributes. But everything will be rewarded at the very last moment! Wooden blocks from which the tower is built are required. Then each player takes turns drawing one block and placing it at the very top of the tower. The loser is the one whose entire structure collapses.

Participants turn into actors. One half of the players shows the word the leader has chosen using gestures and facial expressions. The other half is trying to guess it. The one who guesses the word becomes the leader and guesses the next one.

One of the participants is the presenter. The rest stand close to each other in a circle. Players pass a cucumber to each other behind their backs, biting into it when the opportunity arises. The presenter must guess who has the cucumber. The player caught in the act takes the place of the leader. The game continues until the group eats the entire vegetable. This is very fun game!

The presenter tells the players the first letter of the intended word. Some participants think of a word starting with this letter and try to show it to others without saying the word out loud. If someone guesses the intended word, then he says: “There is contact!” Then, the one who guessed and the one who guessed counted out loud to 10 and called this word. If the word does not match, players try to guess the word with a new letter. If it matches, the presenter calls the second letter of the first word, and the game starts again.

This is an old detective word puzzle. The presenter tells part of the story. The remaining participants restore the sequence of events. You can only ask the narrator questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.” It will turn out to be a very funny detective story!

For this game you need chips: any small objects (coins, candy wrappers, toothpicks, candies, chewing gum, etc.). The first player says: “I have never in my life...”. The remaining players give one chip each to the leader. The winner is the one who has the most chips.

Perhaps the oldest and most famous game. Each player throws one of their items into the common bag. One participant is blindfolded. He also comes up with a task for the owner of the thing that the presenter will pull out. The owner of the item completes the task. If the blindfolded player is a big dreamer, you definitely won't get bored!

Let's play fun and wisely

As children get older, they are increasingly attracted to computers. You can play with this miracle of technology, but try to let your son or daughter spend a little time with it. Play together with your child computer games, designed for two. For example, in The Chronicles of Narnia. Together, you will complete the tours faster and complete the task.

Children of the older age group are unlikely to have fun in this way. They enjoy intellectual pursuits. They are attracted to the computer. It is important not to allow your child to sit at the computer for a long time, but to try to distract him with others. You can play cards with him, together make a model of a ship or airplane, and then try them out in action by launching them into the sky or sending them sailing at home in the bathtub. Many people like the “Young Chemist” (astronomer, botanist) sets. Adults will also find entertainment for themselves. You can start with the active game “Twister”, and end with a calm game - chess or cards.

Modern children perceive the phrase “play at home” as a synonym for playing on the computer and spend long hours on it. Almost all parents are unhappy with this. This begs the question: how did we live before, when these “ hellish machines“there wasn’t, what did they play at home?

But children will certainly be infected by your enthusiasm, and family leisure will become much richer and more varied than watching TV shows and sitting in front of a computer monitor.

And it was again voiced to us by an anonymous person, but I hope that they just forgot to log in. But let's hear it anyway:

Games on paper (using a piece of paper and a pencil). For one, for two, for company. It’s interesting to read and learn (find out the secrets, if there are such games) to play them.

I’m sure that even though these days are computerized and gadget-driven times, there are always situations when you have nothing but friends and a piece of paper :-) So remember or write it down! There will be both well-known games here, and I hope that there will be new ones for someone. At one time, when, as you understand, there were no computers and mobile phones, I played almost everything!

1. Bulls and cows

The first player thinks of a four-digit number, so that all the digits of the number are different. The goal of the second player is to win this number. Each move, the guesser names a number, also four-digit and with different numbers. If a digit from the named number is in the guessed number, then this situation is called a cow. If a digit from the named number is in the guessed number and is in the same place, then this situation is called a bull.

For example, the first player thought of 6109, and the second player called 0123. Then the first player should say: one bull and one cow (1b,1k).

Each partner has his own say. They take turns. The one who guesses the opponent's number first wins.

“Executioner” is another popular puzzle game created specifically for two players. For this game you will need blank paper and a pen.

The first player thinks of a word. It must be an existing word, and the player must be confident that the other player knows the word and is familiar with its spelling. It depicts a series of blank spaces needed to write a word. Then he draws the following diagram, which depicts a gallows with a noose.

The game begins when the second player suggests a letter that can be included in this word. If he guesses correctly, the first player writes it in the correct blank space. If there is no such letter in the word, he writes this letter to the side and begins to finish drawing the gallows, adding a circle representing a head to the loop. The opponent continues to guess the letters until he guesses the entire word. For each wrong answer, the first player adds one body part to the gallows.

If the torso is drawn before the opponent can guess the word, the first player wins. If the opponent guesses the word correctly before the entire torso is drawn, he wins, and then it is his turn to think of the word.

3. Tic-tac-toe on an endless field

The expansion of the playing field allows you to free yourself from the predetermination of the result in Tic Tac Toe.

On an endless field (a sheet of paper will do just fine), the players take turns placing their sign (a cross or a zero). The game ends when one of the players wins or if the field runs out.

The winner is the one who manages to line up five of his signs along one line, straight or diagonal.

If you play computer games, then you can easily guess which of them the creators devoted a lot of time to this extended version of tic-tac-toe.

4. Labyrinth

The field can be square or pyramid shaped. If desired, you can come up with more bizarre shapes.

On the playing field, participants take turns placing lines one square long - vertically or horizontally.

The one of the participants who closed the square (placed the fourth line that makes it up) puts his sign (a cross or a zero) in this square and walks again.

The players' task is to place as many of their signs as possible; the one who has more of these signs after completely filling the field wins.

The more complex and larger the field, the more interesting and unpredictable the game.

5. Sea battle

The goal of this game is to destroy enemy objects (ships). Two people play. The events of the game take place on 2 square fields measuring 10x10. One of the fields is yours, the other is your opponent's. On it you place your own objects (ships) and the enemy attacks them. The enemy places his objects (ships) on another field.
Your armed forces, like those of the enemy, contain the following objects (ships):

1 deck (size 1 square) — 4 pieces
2-deck (2 cells in size) — 3 pieces
3-deck (3 cells in size) — 2 pieces
4-deck (4 squares in size) — 1 piece.

Objects (ships) cannot be placed closely, that is, there must be at least one free cell between two adjacent objects (ships) (note that the enemy also cannot place objects (ships) closely).

When all preparations are completed and the objects (ships) are placed, it is time to begin the battle.

The player whose objects (ships) are located on the left field has the first move. You select a square on the enemy’s field and “shoot” at this square. If you sank an enemy ship, then the opponent must say “-killed”-, if you wounded the ship (that is, you hit a ship with more than one deck), then the opponent must say “-wounded”-. If you hit an opponent’s ship, you continue “shooting.”
The game ends when one of its participants loses all ships.

6. Points

Dots is a game of wits for two or four people. However, it is best to play with just two people. For this game you will need blank paper and as many pens as there are players. The object of the game is to connect the drawn lines into squares, the player who creates the most squares wins the game.

To begin, create a field on clean slate paper, draw horizontal and vertical lines of small dots at equal distances from each other. Very quick game would consist of ten along and ten points across. You can make the field as large or small as you like, depending on the level of the game and the number of players.

Once the board is created, each player takes turns making a move, drawing one line at a time connecting two points. Points can be connected horizontally or vertically, but sometimes diagonally. Once a player completes a square, he places his initials inside the square and gets his next turn, and so on until he manages to create a square with one extra line.

There are two possible strategies in this game: first, you can stop your opponents from creating squares. Secondly, you can configure the field in such a way as to be able to create big number squares using one additional line.

7. Football

To play football you need a checkered piece of paper that will serve as a field. Two people play. The gate is six squares in size. The game starts at central point fields (sheet). The first move is played by lot.

A move is a broken line consisting of three segments, each of which is a diagonal or side of a cell.

You cannot cross the lines or touch them. If the player cannot make the next move, then the opponent shoots a penalty: a straight line of six cells (vertically, horizontally or diagonally).

If after a free kick the ball stops on an already drawn line, or the player cannot make a move, then another free kick is taken.

They play until the first goal.

8. Chain

The task is to come up with a chain of metagrams for a given pair of words that turns one of these words into another. Each next a word is obtained from the previous one by replacing exactly one letter. The winner is the one whose chain is shorter. This game was invented by Lewis Carroll, author of the book “Alice in Wonderland.” So, the GOAT turns into a WOLF, FOX, LEOPARD and other animals.

In 17 moves, NIGHT changes to DAY.

In 11 moves, the RIVER turns into the SEA.

In 13 minutes you can make a BULL from the DOUGH.

Traveling through time will take 19 turns: MIG will turn into an HOUR, then into a YEAR, then a CENTURY will arise and finally an ERA will appear.

The first player writes a letter, the next one adds a letter in front or behind the letter written, etc. The loser is the one whose substitution results in a whole word. Letters should not be substituted anyhow, when adding another letter, you must have in mind a specific word in which the combination of letters you wrote occurs. If the one who must make the next move cannot come up with a single word with the combination of letters that formed before his move, he must give up. In this case, the player who wrote last letter, I must say what word he had in mind, if he cannot name the word, then he himself loses, if he named it, the one who gave up loses. The one who loses the first time gets the letter B, the second time - A, etc., until the word Balda is formed. The one who becomes the first Balda loses completely.

Naturally, you can play not only on paper, but also orally.

10 . Football 8x12

A field of 12x8 cells is drawn. The dots in the middle of the short sides are the gates. The first move is exactly from the center of the field. They take turns placing a line on one square (along a line or diagonally). If the move ends at a sketched point (that is, through which you have already walked - for example, the center of the field), then the right to another line is given, and so on, until the move ends at an empty point. The sides are considered to be sketched points (that is, the ball is “bounced” from the sides). The goal is to score the ball into the goal.
An additional rule that we came up with in class is that putting the ball into a position from which you cannot get out is an illegal move (for example, a move into the corner). If this is the only move a player can make, then it is his loss.

Each field is played for one goal (if desired, for more, but practice has shown that it is still better to play for one goal). The convenience of this game compared to standard football is that it takes up little space and you can use a partially written piece of paper for it.

11. Labyrinth with objects

Two people are playing. Players draw two 10x10 fields. For convenience, you can assign designations to the cells: a, b, c, ..., i, k - horizontally and 1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 10 - vertically. (Helps with communication during the game). On one field, draw your own labyrinth through which your opponent will walk. The second, still empty, field is the opponent’s labyrinth, through which the player himself walks. It marks the objects of the enemy’s labyrinth explored during the game. The goal is to take the treasure out of someone else's labyrinth faster than your opponent takes the treasure out of yours.
Here you have the opportunity to simultaneously prove yourself both as an adventurer and as a “dungeon master.”

Labyrinth requirements:

Between the cells there may be walls, which, in fact, form a labyrinth. In addition, the entire perimeter of the labyrinth is also surrounded by a wall called the “maze wall.”

The labyrinth should contain:

1 Crossbow
1 Crutch
1 Trap
4 Pits
4 exits from pits (each pit uniquely corresponds to one exit)
3 False treasures
1 A real treasure
4 exits from the maze on each side.
In addition, each participant at the beginning of the game has 3 grenades.

Example map:

Game process.

Players tell each other the coordinates of the points from which they would like to start the game.
Players take turns. During a turn, a player can move one cell to the right, left, up or down, if the cell he is in and the one he wants to move to are not separated by a wall. If such a wall is still present, the player is informed about this and he remains on his cell until the next move. If this wall is a maze wall, this is reported separately. However, by prior agreement, you can not make a distinction between the internal walls and the walls of the labyrinth and exclude the concept of “maze wall”, but this can greatly delay the game. By spending one grenade, the player can eliminate any wall (including the wall of the labyrinth) until the end of the game. You don't need to discover it first to do this. For example, having intuitively felt that there is a wall on the right, the player may not waste a turn going to the right and making sure that it is there. He can immediately use a grenade, and then there will definitely be no wall there. But it may be that it was not there, then the grenade is still considered spent. Throwing a grenade is considered a move. You cannot throw a grenade and move in the same turn.

After the player has moved to a new cell, the enemy informs him what is on the new cell (and only one object can be on one cell).
These could be (with examples of notation):

A) crossbow("A"). After visiting this cell, the player begins to “limp” and the enemy can perform +1 action during his turn (which has already arrived) (move, throw a grenade, bump into a wall). The crossbow fires once, but its effect lasts until the end of the game.

b) crutch(“Y”) Visiting this cell allows the player himself, starting from the next turn, to perform 1 more action per turn. This is not a cure for the effects of a crossbow, but an independent object. The crutch works once, but its effect lasts until the end of the game.

The actions of the crutch and the crossbow stack. That is, visiting both of these cells gives the same result as not visiting either of them. If you find a crutch, and your opponent has a crossbow, then you can do three actions per turn (not four!).

V) trap(“K”). Allow three moves. Those. While you are getting out of the trap (more correctly, a trap), the enemy makes four moves, after which you can move again. Having an opponent with a crutch allows him to make eight moves. If you fall into a trap and were previously wounded by a crossbow, the enemy makes only four moves (permanently skipping moves does not work, because you still do not move). The trap is triggered every time a player visits a cell with it.

G) You've fallen into a hole No. 1, 2, 3 or 4. (“1,2,3,4”) – instantaneous movement (with the same move) to the cell “Exit from pit No. 1, 2, 3 or 4” (“I,II,III ,IV"), respectively. The exit coordinates are not communicated to the player. He continues the game from the cage with the exit from the pit and determines his location by indirect signs. If a player gets to the “exit from the pit” cell without falling into the pit itself, but simply “came across it,” he is informed about this. Now, having fallen into a hole with this number, he will know where he will appear.

d) You found a treasure. False (“O”) or true (“X”) can only be found out by leaving the maze.
To exit the maze, you can use any of the exits, which are available one on each side, or break through a new one using a grenade. (However, we can agree that grenades are not taken from the walls of the labyrinth, although they are wasted in the process).

A player who exits the maze on his turn (accidentally or intentionally) is told that he has exited the maze. If at the same time he has a treasure in his hands, it is reported what kind of treasure it is: false or real.

You can only carry one treasure at a time. In this case, the actions of a crossbow, crutch, or trap are not canceled. You can’t throw the treasure wherever you want, but you can exchange one for another. It is not necessary to take the treasure. If you find yourself on a cell with treasure and decide to take it, you need to inform your opponent about this.

The maze must be designed in such a way that you can visit each cell and exit the maze without using grenades, starting the game from any point. You cannot build traps: when a player, having fallen into a hole, comes out of it into a confined space, from which he cannot get out without using grenades. The trap can be placed anywhere.
After leaving the maze, the player can only enter the exit from which he left. However, the option of re-entering through any exit also has a right to exist. In this case, it is possible to fence off areas that can only be reached through a certain entrance to the maze, if the starting point is located outside them.

12. Nonsense

And even the seemingly stupid game “Nonsense” carries deep meaning if you play it with the whole family. Each player receives a piece of paper and writes at the top the answer to the question “Who?” (Winnie the Pooh, cat Behemoth, neighbor Uncle Vasya, etc.). Then the answer is folded in such a way that it cannot be read, and the sheets of paper are passed around. The next question is “With whom?” Then follow: “When?”, “Where?”, “What did you do?”, “What came of it?” When all the answers are written, the pieces of paper are unfolded and read. "So what's the point of all this?" - you ask. If the whole family laughs at the resulting nonsense, if parents and children are interested and having fun together - isn’t this the most important, most important meaning of any family games?

13. Virus war

"-War of Viruses"-. Game for two ( More is possible, but an even number of players is desirable, otherwise one quickly becomes a victim), on a field 10*10 ( again, more is possible, then it’s even more interesting), “viruses” - means crosses, circles and other evil spirits (each player has his own color or shape). Three “viruses” are placed per turn. Viruses begin to reproduce from opposite corner cells of the field. You can display a “virus” only next to your other “live virus”. If the enemy’s “virus” is nearby, you can eat it by painting the cell in your color. The enemy cannot “overeat” this cell a second time. Such formations are called “fortresses”. If the “fortress” touches at least one living virus of its color, then from it you can further create new “viruses” in any place or there is an enemy. The goal of the game is the complete destruction of enemy forces. If both sides manage to hide their live viruses behind a fortress made from the enemy's eaten viruses, the game ends in a draw.

"-Bedbugs"-. Variation “-virus warriors”-. Can be played by 2 to 6 players, but optimally 4 players. They play on a notebook sheet, each player must have their own color. The game begins with drawing the “main bug” - a cross surrounded by a frame and the “headquarters” - the environment of the “main bug” - made up of 8 crosses in the corners of the sheet. Then you can make 5 “moves” per turn, and not 3 as in the “virus war”. The game is played to destroy the “main bugs”. But the most interesting thing in this version of the game is that the players, who play by default, each for themselves, have the right to enter into alliances and break them as the situation or personal preferences change. Often a good “political” intrigue in this variant brings more dividends than the combination class of the game. Possible addition: a player who has built a square of 8 bugs can place a new “main bug” in the center, and the old one is painted in the player’s color. Such a revolution allows you to save your army from defeat if the enemy gets close to the old “main” one.

"-War"-. A very complex variation of “virus warriors”. Can be played by 2 to 6 players, but optimally 4 players. They play on a notebook sheet, each player must have their own color. The game starts from “generals”, which are designated by the letter G and are located in the corners of the sheet. For each move, the player can place:
4 infantry (designated by the letters P) -
2 knights that are placed with a letter as in chess (and are designated by the letter K) -
2 tanks that move through one cell (can also be diagonal) (indicated by the letters T) -
1 plane that moves through 4 cells horizontally, vertically or diagonally (indicated by the letters C).
During any move, you can abandon one type of troops and make an extra move of another type. For example, you can immediately go 3 more times by plane in one turn, giving up all the infantry, all the horses and all the tanks, respectively.
Unlike the “war of viruses”, new fighters can be deployed only next to living fighters (or next to a “live” fortress) of the corresponding type, provided that they have live connection with the general! That is, troops without control do not fight. Communication can be made through another type of military. They play, of course, to destroy the generals.

14. Pyramid

Two players play. They take turns writing words in the form of a pyramid according to the crossword rule; in addition, repeating the same words is prohibited. They start with a three-letter word; under the word you can write a word of the same length or one letter longer. Under each word you can only write a word of the same length once; the next word must be one letter longer. After the opponent’s move, the player carefully analyzes the resulting game word pyramid and tries to form a word of at least three letters, taking for it the first letter from an arbitrary level of the pyramid, the second from the next level below it, etc. one letter from each next level. This word should also be common noun in the initial form and not an abbreviation (not an abbreviation like traffic police). The player who finds such a word adds to his score as many points as there are letters in this word. Then the next round begins, and so on, until a player scores 12 points. He becomes the winner.

An example of one round of this game with words: the 1st player writes the word HATCH, the 2nd writes the word MIG under it. The 1st player needs to find a 4-letter word, he writes the word SHAWL. Both players try to select words from already used letters in order to not give their opponent a chance to win the round. Here the 2nd player carefully looks to see if he can make up some word, but all sorts of nonsense comes out like KISH, LIL, YUM, etc. Then the 2nd player writes the 4-letter word SHILO (or he could write a 5-letter one):
LUKE
MOMENT
SHAWL
AWL

The 1st player analyzes the pyramid... - He sees the words GAI, IL and YUG, which, according to the conditions of this word game, do not fit, and does not notice the word KILO! The pyramid has another level:
LUKE
MOMENT
SHAWL
AWL
A DROP

The 2nd player sees the words LIK and SPIKE, then notices the word KILO... - And suddenly he finds a beautiful 5-letter word LILY! It adds 5 points to the 2nd player's score.

Such games on paper with words develop attentiveness and the ability to combine words.

Two players draw 7-10 tanks each. or “starships?”, each on its own half of a double notebook sheet (preferably not in a box, but in a line or empty A4). Having placed the army, the players begin to fire at each other as follows: a shot is drawn on their half of the field, then the sheet is folded exactly in the middle, and the shot, visible in the open, is marked on the second half of the field. If it hit a tank, it was knocked out (the second? knocking out? is fatal), and if it hit it exactly, the tank was immediately destroyed.
Each successful shot gives the right to the next one - in some versions of the game, you cannot fire the next shot at the same tank.
After preliminary shooting, the game very quickly moves into the “blitz-krieg” stage, or rather, a rapid denouement. The winner, naturally, is the one who shoots the opposing army first.

16. Barriers

A simple tactical game, the essence of which is the positional struggle for space. On a field of 8x8 (i.e. size chessboard), players, one after another, draw small lines that overlap any 2 cells in a row: i.e. for example player 1 draws a vertical line occupying e2 and e3.
Player 2 does the same, but his line cannot cross or touch any existing “barricades”. As the field fills up, there is less and less free space, and at the end a sober calculation is required to finish the game. A player who can no longer place his line because... everything is already blocked, losing.

A simple and quite fun game, built on the same principles as Coin Parade, but completely different in form.
On a small field (it can be a square or rectangle of any size, it doesn’t really matter) players place about 15-20 points in a variety of places, although more or less evenly.
Then the first player draws a round but free-form rim that passes through at least 1 point. The maximum in the classic version is unlimited, although I would recommend giving a maximum of 4 points in the rim.
Next player draws his rim, the only limitation? it cannot intersect with those already drawn. The rims can be drawn inside the rims, or, conversely, surround existing ones, the main thing is that they do not intersect. After a while, there is very little space left, and the one who draws the last rim loses.
A variation of this game is the rule of drawing rims that cover only 1 or 2 points, no more.

19. Dots and squares

The author of this game, popularizer of mathematics and science Martin Garner, considered it ?a pearl logic games? . Without sharing his opinion, however, it is quite possible to call the game one of the best tactical games, interesting at any age.
Playing field? rows of dots from 3x3 to 9x9. It’s better to start with a small field and, having felt the taste, increase the size. The rules are very simple: players connect two dots with a line, and when the player can close the square, he puts his sign in it (for example, the first letter of his name).
By closing a square, the player gains the right to an additional move until he draws a line that does not close anything. At the end of the game, it is counted who has closed the most squares, and the winner is determined.
Despite its apparent simplicity, the game provides a good space for combinatorial play, especially on fields of 5x5 and larger. The essence of winning tactics? force the field with half-closed structures, sacrifice, it is necessary, a few squares in favor of the opponent, and then, when there is practically nowhere to bet, force him to make an unfavorable move (not covering anything)? and then close most of the squares in one series.

The simplest word game, based on the tic-tac-toe principle, only with letters.
On a 3x3 field (then try other sizes), two players bet on any one letter each, and the one who, by the end of the game (when all the fields are filled in) will be able to write more well-known 3-letter words diagonally, vertically or horizontally, wins.
The game is useful for children who are learning to write. For adults there is quite little competitive value, but players with a sense of humor will have a lot of fun. For children, you can play the option: who will be the first to create a word, and not who will have more words.

21. Racing

A more complex and lengthy game, built on the same principle as other paper coordination games: moving a vertical pen along a sheet of paper with a light click.
On a sheet (single or double) drawn race track(Race), in the form of two curving, uneven circles, repeating each other’s outlines, 2-3-4 cells wide (depending on the number of participants). Then, in an arbitrary place of the resulting ring, a start/finish line is drawn, from which the racing cars start.
In short, neat strokes, the racers move around the ring, overcoming bends and special obstacles, flying into the ditch, entering the field again, and as a result, one of them comes to the finish line first and reaps the laurels.
Each time the driver's line touches or crosses the track boundary, a cross is placed at the intersection and the driver skips the next turn, turning his car around so it can continue the race. Each car has 5 such intersections in stock. (5 hit points), and the sixth encounter becomes fatal.
Besides this, could there be any obstacles on the route? for example, high-danger zones: upon flying into such a zone, the car receives more damage and loses two life points. Or special obstacles that protrude from the edges and make the passage narrower, or on the contrary, stand in the middle and force cars to squeeze through
It is also possible to enter touch points, or rather, small circles, which the car must hit when passing by (i.e., through which the line must pass). The picture shows all the listed complications of the track at once, and it is clear that the race is still far from over.
You can invent and enter own rules, new obstacles, and if there are 4 or more participants, you can even arrange a racing series, making several tracks, and in between them allowing players to purchase equipment for the amount of points depending on the place taken. For example, buy additional life points or attack spikes, and remove 1 life point from the car you are overtaking.

22. Golf

Players start from two spots next to each other at the bottom of a double piece of paper standing vertically (see picture).
Everyone plays with a pen of their own color, and what is everyone's task? behind minimal amount strokes (lines from the pen sliding along the sheet) to get the ball into the hole. The hole is at the opposite end of the field, i.e. on top of the sheet. And a person with good coordination needed a maximum of 4-5 hits to drive the line into the hole.
But in advanced versions of Golf, the path to it is not so simple, because long straight lines are protected by hills that act as a buffer and do not allow the player. When hitting a hill, the enemy performs a rollback i.e. shoots the line of the offender in any direction, and he is forced to continue his series of blows from the place where this line came. Or perhaps 1 or 2 extra moves are added to the track of the one who hits the hill.
