Introduction
Group games are always fun. Games for a large group are difficult to find. People got confused while playing games in a group. Here are some exciting games for a large group which you will find interesting
1. Salt of life
The game board of “Sol” is a metaphor for the path of life. It consists of several segments: “Business”, “Study”, “Childhood”, “Relationships”, “Friends”, “Children”, “Parents”, “Life / Death”. Each of these categories has questions that participants need to answer. For example: “Are you ready to forgive betrayal?”, “What was your first job?” or “What conflicts did you have at school?” The main rule is to open your soul to your friends.
This game helps you get closer to each other and also helps you realize what life strategies you prefer. The Childhood category of questions may require napkins!
2. Bunker
The gist of the game is this: the apocalypse has happened. People have a bunker, but there is not enough space for everyone. To decide who can wait it out inside and then continue life on earth, players are given cards. They indicate the main characteristics of their characters: profession, health features, interesting facts.
You have to play in such a way that you convince the others that you are the one who deserves to be saved. The one who gets a place in the bunker wins.
3. Equivocations
The game is very active and emotional.
The rules are simple: you need to throw a dice, take a card from the deck and try to explain the word in the way suggested in it: draw it, show it with gestures, mold it from plasticine. The team that comes to victory first wins!
The game is designed for 3-4 people. But you can also split into 3-4 teams, in which there will be an unlimited number of people, and each of them will take turns performing tasks. There are many tasks – enough for everyone. In general, give free rein to your imagination and enjoy the game!
4. Keeper of the Secret
The host is given a well-known catchphrase, proverb or saying. He tells the number of words in the expression. The others must guess it by asking the host exactly that many questions.
Questions and answers can be anything. However, each answer must contain one word from the hidden phrase.
For example, I once came across the proverb “The first pancake is always lumpy.” And we had the following dialogue:
Participant: When is your birthday?
Me: In the first month of winter, on the 21st.
Participant: Why do we need feminism?
Me: Damn , I already explained.
Participant: Ha-ha, what future awaits us?
Me: The answer stuck in my throat.
Writing down phrases after the presenter is cheating. We agreed not to do this, so that guessing would be more difficult and interesting.
5. Parsnip
The idea is this: the leader is given a word or phrase and must explain it to his team using words that start with the letter “p”.
For example, once a friend of mine was asked “kokorech” – a Turkish dish similar to kebab, only instead of minced meat there is liver – cow internal organs. He explained it this way: “They bake… By gutting ungulates… Kidneys, liver… The first half of the word seems to be about a rooster.” In the end, the team guessed!
It’s funny that later, after the game, for some time in everyday life you start formulating sentences with words that begin only with the letter “p” – such is the “professional deformation”.
6. Codenames
A cool game for those who like logic and intelligence puzzles . To begin, participants need to split into two teams and choose captains. They toss a coin to determine who goes first.
Then someone needs to go to the Codenames website and tell the participants the code word that the service has suggested – it will determine the playing field. Most often, the code is meaningless: GROZOVK, PUFYR, VOROD and the like.
Next, you need to split up. The captains enter this code on their phones on the Codenames website and press the button to go to the “table for captains”. A pool of words appears, some of which are in the red fields, some in the blue ones. Only they can see this table; they are forbidden to show it to their team members.
Everyone else on one large common screen (a projector or laptop will do) also enters the code and clicks “To the table for players.” They open the same field, but without the color markings.
Those who go first are on the red team, those who go second are on the blue team. Now the captain’s task is to try to explain as many words as possible per turn using one association, and the other team members must guess them.
It is important to set an association that will not confuse the team members. For example, if the Red captain said, “Anesthesia. Three,” the players might think that he was talking about a solution, a dose, and sleep. However, “sleep” is a cell that belongs to the Blues, and if it is opened, they get a point. If one of the players opens a word on a black background, the team automatically loses.
The team that opens the cells of its color the fastest wins.
