In English, such entertainments are called "Ice Breaking Games" - there are usually no losers in them, the events are designed to quickly explain to those present who is who, so that further communication proceeds naturally.

1 Seems like it wasn't here

Those present are randomly divided into pairs. We put them against each other and ask for 30 seconds to remember the maximum number of details in the appearance of a partner. Then the players stand back to back, and specially selected people change something in their appearance: they take off their earrings, shave off their mustache, and reduce their breasts. Once again, the players who find themselves face to face must determine in a minute what has changed.

+ Those present will at least find out what their name is and stop secretly looking at your hairy birthmark.- Everyone will remember only external data.
At the end of the evening, it will be difficult to convince the audience that Tanya just came - without a skirt.

2 Heel to heel

The presenter names a number and a part of the body that his conscience will allow him to name, for example: "Three, knee." Three people should quickly go to the center of the room and join their knees (elbows, feet, heads, eyebrows - depending on the imagination). Further, the trinity becomes spectators, and the game continues until the participants run out.

+ Touch is our genetically original channel of communication. In short, tactile contact is good.- Not everyone may be ready to immediately touch strangers with their feet.

Those present are divided into two teams, each stands around its table and begins to build a tower. It can be of any design, but the players must put the cups in turn.

At the signal from the leader, construction ends, and the team whose tower is higher wins. If it collapses before the whistle, the table is considered a loser, and the person responsible for the disaster pretends to be ashamed.

+ Working in a team, people forget about some formalities in communication. After all, you want to win! - Someone will have to remove the consequences.
It takes quite a lot of space to play.

4 Two lies and one truth

Tired of collecting glasses scattered around the room, move on to quieter games. Those present organize something like a round dance, and each one in turn tells the neighbor on the right two fictitious facts about himself and something truthful: "I love healthy food, I collect celebrity yachts, I live with my mother." The opponent must guess which of these is worth believing. Then history repeats itself: he already tells about himself to his neighbor on the right.

+ No special training required to play.
Everyone present will finally know who is sitting next to them.- Not everyone likes to tell the truth about themselves, so you will have to play after 3-4 toasts.

5 And in our office ...

You can also meet a lot of vaguely familiar people at a New Year's corporate party. A simple quiz will help you get to know them, the topic will be the general office space. The following questions will come up: "Where does the accounting department sit?", "In what year did the tradition of dressing up a ficus tree first appear?"

+ The best way to finally find out who you've been writing angry letters to all year.- You too will be recognized.

6 And you too?

Those present are randomly divided into groups of three. At the signal, they begin to look for three common signs for them. It can be hometown, year of birth, patronymic, grandfather's profession, or the same color of socks. The team that does this first tells the audience what exactly unites them, and then becomes fans who walk around the remaining players and distract them.
