Card games at the table. Anniversary contests

Most often, anniversaries and birthdays are held in a pleasant company of well-known or close people who congratulate the birthday boy or birthday girl a lot and with pleasure and communicate with each other. And, nevertheless, even the closest friendly feast, and, moreover, large anniversary celebrations, will be decorated with an entertainment program thought out in advance by the host or enterprising guests, or even a couple of fun and enjoyable gaming moments.

We offer a selection the best table games and musical congratulations on the anniversary of a woman, which will allow you to make an emotional focus on the hero of the occasion, bring revival and add spice and zest to the holiday. All these game moments can be easily arranged impromptu, the main thing is that they suit the tastes of the birthday girl and the gathered company, they can be arranged together or separately - detailed explanations and the necessary musical accompaniment are attached. The ideas of such entertainment are unique in that they have been tested in practice more than once, but are always relevant, go with a bang in any company, especially if they are presented in a new way and with humor or dedicated to a specific topic (as is done in this collection).

(Scenario of the anniversary of a woman with toasts and eyeliners, which includes all the entertainment from this program watch)

1. Musical congratulations on the anniversary of the woman "Mask Show"

Note: such a congratulation is easy to carry out impromptu and, despite the fact that it is musical, the congratulators will not have to sing, but only artistically, as if on behalf of their character, congratulate the birthday girl to a pre-prepared soundtrack. The image of the character is created using special masks or appropriate props.

SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS:

Option number 1. Voluntary.

The call from the organizer may be as follows: “Our program is not called “Everything for You” for nothing, because today, in fact, all the flowers, compliments and congratulations are only for our birthday girl (name). As a child, we were waiting for a magician in a blue helicopter for our birthday, but, having matured, we realized that miracles often happen where they are made, where they do it themselves. And now I invite everyone who loves our birthday girl and who wants to be involved in a small miracle - a surprise in her honor, come to me. There should be exactly seven such participants - the most magical number in the world. (As a rule, close relatives or friends who wish to take part in this congratulation are sure to be at the anniversary)

Option number 2. Draw.

Also, the participants of the congratulations can be determined using the game moment “Bag in a circle”. To do this, all the props are folded into an opaque bag or bag and, to the sound of fervent music, they go around in a circle (the guests pass the bag to the nearest neighbor at the feast), the one who has the bag in his hands during the music stop (the DJ makes these stops on purpose) takes out the mask without looking and goes to the center of the hall. This happens several times until all the masks are taken apart.

The facilitator then quickly explains to the participantsfun and solemnly announces the release of each of them, and the participants, in turn, go out and congratulate the culprit, as vividly and emotionally as possible.

(Note: if latex masks will be used, then have the participant put it on immediately before his exit, because. it is uncomfortable to stay in them for a long time).

Leading: Honorable public and respected (Name of the birthday girl) only for you and only now a unique performance called "Mask Show" begins! And to participate in it, stars came from all over the world and even from exotic places that are not on the map at all.

First to congratulate (Name) the well-known and beloved English comedian Mr. Bean is in a hurry (comes out in a mask or a funny wig, approaches the hero of the day and depicts congratulations)

Sounds congratulations 1

The second is congratulated by a sultry handsome man, a real horseman and heartthrob, who descended specially from the Caucasus mountains (from props: mask or hat, mustache, nose, also emotionally congratulates)

Sounds Congratulations 2………..................................................................................

Ready-made musical excerpts for all congratulations are attached, among the congratulators: Mr. Bean, Sultry Caucasian, Pierre Narcissus, Eurovision Star, Shrek, Oleg Popov the Clown, the Devil - the tempter.

(If you can’t arrange a congratulation with masks, you can beat it with the help of some hats, as in the Rainbow of Life scenario -)

2. New table role-playing tale - impromptu "Only the best wishes!"

Note: this is a new author's impromptu story that can be played right at the table, written for a woman's anniversary, but, if desired, can be easily remade for any occasion: a wedding, a new year, and so on. Such a fairy tale is a win-win entertainment, from the category of those that are very easy to organize and which activate the mood at the table and allow you to once again congratulate the heroes of the occasion.

The essence of entertainment: the host expressively reads the entire text, deliberately making small pauses so that the “artists” have time to say their cue. The remarks themselves must be printed in advance on large cards and distributed to the participants, warning that they should say their phrase as artistically as possible whenever they hear the name of their character in the text.

Impromptu characters and their lines:

Baba Nyura- "Fathers are holy!";

Market- "Total heaps!";

Loader- "Where would you like to drink?!";

Caucasian- "Come on - you won't regret it!";

Gypsy- “Gild the pen!”;

Bouquet of flowers- "Only the best wishes!"

Impromptu fairy tale text(EXTRACT FOR ILLUSTRATION)

Baba Nyura… came to Market.. A tall, broad-shouldered man ran past her. Loader… tormented by his care Loader… pushed Babu Nyuru…sideways and didn't even apologize. Buzzed briskly Market… Sight Baba Nyura... involuntarily attracted hot Caucasian…..Noticing interest Baba Nyura,...temperamental Caucasian…. raised his eyebrows and winked at her. A Baba Nyura…, all blushing with embarrassment, forgot why……...........................................................................................................................................................................

And finally, Grandma Nura... came to the holiday and wholeheartedly gives the hero of the occasion (name of the birthday girl) this stunning Bouquet of flowers

And the guests, seeing this, loudly and joyfully shouting: "Happy birthday!"

3. Board game for a woman's birthday "For the sake of your wonderful eyes ..."

Note: It happens, especially in the first two hours of the holiday, that men are more shy and reserved than women. It is more difficult to stir them up, to involve them in action. A variant of this will allow you to highlight the strong sex in a pleasant way, without diluting it with the weak. If there are not so many men, you can build them in a row and let this male platoon read cards - confessions

sweetie

Guests are divided into pairs: a man and a woman. The task of each pair is to unfold and eat the candy by joint efforts without the help of hands. The couple who made
it's the first one, wins.

Unusual toast
At the festive table, guests take turns pronouncing a toast, or wishes of happiness, to the birthday man. But all the words are replaced with "Pa-ra-pam, pa-ra-pam ... shurum burum", etc. In this case, you can only use facial expressions, gestures, and intonation!

I'll sing right now...

First we make a few cards. We write the first two lines from any song known to everyone. Each guest needs to continue the song that he got in the card.

More coins

A plate filled with coins. Each guest is given
saucer, and chopsticks for Chinese food. Rules: drag as many coins into your saucer as possible. Whoever has the most coins wins!

The most daring

There are 5 eggs on a plate: one of them is raw, and the rest are boiled. You need to break the egg on your forehead. Whoever gets raw is the brave one. (But actually, the eggs are all boiled, and just the last player gets the prize, because he consciously ran the risk of becoming a laughingstock).

Chupa Chups

A man tries to explain to several girls such a phrase "come with me
home, I have Chupa Chups. very funny when "explainers" try to explain the last word. And it’s also funny to watch the change in the color of the faces of girls trying to understand ...

Alphabet

From the letter A, and further alphabetically, the player begins the phrase congratulations on the fact that the guests have gathered. For example: A - Aist wishes everyone a Happy New Year! B - Be vigilant, the New Year is coming soon! B - Let's drink for the Ladies! Especially fun when the game comes to G, F, P, S, b, b. Whoever comes up with the funniest phrase wins.

choir

The guests choose a song well known to everyone and begin to sing it in chorus. On command: "Quiet!" the guests fall silent and continue to sing the song to themselves. After a while we say: “Loud!”, and the players continue the song aloud. Basically, while singing to themselves, the participants change the tempo, and after the command “Loud!” everyone sings out of order and the game ends with laughter!

Praise

Praise with adjectives will please any hero of the occasion. The meaning of this game: all players are asked the question: "What is our birthday?". The answer should consist only of adjectives. For example: thin, generous, brave, kind, etc. The process of praising takes place in turn, while the words should not be repeated. Those guests who, after a lot of spoken words, begin to think for a long time how to answer the question, leave the game. The player who can praise the birthday man the most wins.

Festive rhyme

On whom the last word of the rhyme falls, he performs the corresponding action:


We will start the counting
Here is the fun
Hug the neighbor on the left!
Here's another fun
You crow for everyone
You don't waste time
Drink a glass of vodka
You got a fan like this:
Stomp with your right foot.
Grab your neighbor's ear
And kiss him on the forehead!
Let the owner not be jealous
The guest will kiss the hostess
Well, you friend, don't be lazy
Bow down to the ground
So that the neighbor does not get bored, he must be tickled.
There is no place for striptease
But take the item off!
Give us a service
Show goat face!
Show your flexibility
Picture a swallow!
This guest will read us a poem without delay!
Lots of good guests here.
Clap them hands!
Try for friends -
Pour wine into their glasses!
Look at your neighbor
Kiss on the cheek three times
You and your neighbor got a fine:
Have a drink on brotherhood!
Listen carefully:
Eat something soon!
Well, further on the program
You moved your ears
The neighbor on the right has a shock
Scratch his belly button!
Don't be shy, have fun
And show everyone your tongue!
This guest is just a treasure
He is happy to drink with the hostess!
This one, look, does not lag behind -
Drink with the owner goes!
This guest is like in the picture
Let him dance a lezginka for us!
We'll all have more fun

We write a word on a piece of paper, let's say it's an animal, or a famous actor. After this leaflet will need to be glued to the neighbor's forehead, you can use tape. This is what each participant does. Then everyone, in turn, asks a leading question that can be answered either yes or no and tries to determine what is written on his forehead. If the answer to the question is “yes”, then the player can ask another question, if the answer is “no”, then the turn to ask the question passes to another player. The winner is the one who guesses what is written on his forehead.

The winner is the participant who filled the square completely.

"Find Your Clothes"

The host lines up six participants in a row facing the audience, and invites one more player from the guests to distribute things.

Everyone can take part in the game. Each player is given a blank sheet of paper and asked to divide it into four parts. Then in the first part of the sheet you need to put one of the proposed letters (P, R, L, C), and in the next part put one of the numbers you like (1, 2, 3, 4). In the third part you need to write any proverb. And in the fourth part, a favorite animal is written. After everything is written, the leader gives explanations: the meanings of the letters are bed, work, family, love; the numbers indicate in which place is what they wrote in the first part. The written proverbs mean the motto of what is written in the first part. The name of the animal is also directly related to the first part, namely: who the participant represents himself.

"Communication with Gestures"

This game is designed for two participants - a man and a woman. They stand facing each other. The leader behind the man unfolds a poster on which a small phrase is written in large letters. The woman, in turn, must show this phrase so that the man can guess it.

Pairs take part in the game. They are offered to act out dialogues by roles, for example, between people of different professions, but they come up with the content of the dialogue themselves.

"Remember!"

All guests take part in the game. One participant takes any thing, enters the room and holds it in front of the guests for several seconds, and then quickly removes it.

Whoever gives the most correct answers will be the winner.

"Unbelievable but true!"

The participants of the game are divided into two teams. Teams must come up with a fictional story and also prove that this story actually happened. The proof is carried out by providing answers to the opponents' questions.

"Let's make history!"

The rules of the game are as follows: the player writes two sentences on a piece of paper and folds the sheet so that only the last word is visible. The next player does the same. The writing of the story ends with the last participant. Then everyone reads the resulting opus together.

Participants sit in a circle and take turns saying words of congratulations, but in alphabetical order. For example, let's start with the first letter of the alphabet A: "The stork brings you his congratulations on the birth of your baby!" And so on. Which of the participants cannot come up with a congratulation is eliminated from the game.

Birthday is not a frequent holiday, although it is an annual one. Therefore, it is important to celebrate it so that there is enough positive for the rest of the year until the new year. Buy food and make dishes for a feast, invite guests - this is not the end of the to-do list for the organizer. Create an atypical entertainment program. Games at the birthday party of an adult at the table and outside it will fill the holiday with unforgettable emotions.

Competitions for a feast

While the guests are too relaxed after eating, you should not take them to active games. But it will turn out to start the fun already at the table. Funny and cool elements of this program have been tested in more than one holiday. Listen to your imagination too: almost any way to diversify a birthday or anniversary will do.

For a big company

  1. This game is suitable for those who are still poorly acquainted, because the competition is aimed at uniting guests. Everyone is given a fant with a word. In three minutes, with the help of brief communication with each other, people should be divided into teams of two or three people each. For example, guests with phantoms "pencil", "wooden ruler" and "putty" - the office team.
  2. Arrange a competition of artistic book lovers. To do this, select three people, let them confer in private. Their task is to retell a well-known book in the genre of horror, thriller or trash comedy. It all depends on the decisions of other players. The team with the most compelling story will win.
  3. This can be considered a mixture of forfeits and pantomime. All guests receive a piece of paper on which the type of activity with the suffix "ist" is written: scuba diver, pianist, fetishist, illusionist, parachutist, and so on. The owner of the paper must silently show his occupation. The one who makes it the most funny and convincing wins.
  4. Another variation of this game with pieces of paper differs in content and is called “Show your country”. The bottom line is that on forfeits you must write the name of the country. The one who got the phantom must show this state through the well-known landmark that is located in it. It will be interesting to watch the participants of the game and how this or that country will be shown.
  5. Distribute pieces of paper to the participants of the celebration, where there will be funny questions in the spirit of “How did the birthday boy learn to speak”, “How did he take the first step”, and so on. Those who pulled the question need to depict this event. The winner is the one who does it the most funny and the one whose action is guessed the fastest. These are interesting reasons to look at yourself through someone else's eyes and laugh heartily.
  6. A fun birthday contest with alcohol will be this one. Offer each guest two glasses on a tray, but show from a distance. Water in one, vodka in the other (drinks can be changed, for example, red wine and cherry juice). The goal of the player is to choose a glass of water. If this does not happen, he is obliged to drink a glass and fulfill the wish of the birthday man. But try not to put too much into the program. Do not allow all competitions to be associated with alcohol.
  7. An object is placed in the middle of the table. The game task of each of the birthday guests is to come up with an original application for him. Everyone takes it in turns to name their ideas, and the one who lasts the longest wins.

For several people

  1. This contest will help you find the main destroyer. Take two bowls and two sheets of thin A4 paper. With the help of a stopwatch, mark the time, and the mission of a couple of players is to tear the sheet to shreds without cheating in half a minute. The contestant who completely tears up his sheet or the one whose piece is smaller will win.
  2. You can feel the immediate childish joy from the next game. Give each guest a glass of water, a straw, and one empty glass. The goal of the player is to be the fastest to pour the liquid from full to empty using only a straw. The winner is the one who brought the maximum amount of water faster than the rest.
  3. Distribute album sheets to the contestants, as well as well-written markers. At the same time, their hands are tied behind their backs, because guests will have to draw with their teeth. This is not easy, but you need to try, because the task of the birthday man is to guess what his friend or girlfriend was trying to portray.
  4. A similar entertainment is called "Like a chicken paw." Invite guests to write a congratulation to the birthday man on whatman paper. The subtlety is that you need to do this with your foot. To do this, fix the sheet on the floor so that it does not slip off at the wrong moment, and hold the marker or felt-tip pen between your thumb and forefinger.
  5. For each participant, place a row of ten burning thin candles. The champion is the one who blew out the most lit candles faster than others.
  6. Distribute markers and one sheet of A3 to all guests of the holiday. On it they will draw a portrait of the birthday man: let them take on one of the details of the face. The peculiarity of the competition is that you need to draw with a non-dominant hand or with your eyes closed, depending on the desire of the birthday person.
  7. One contestant fills his mouth with marshmallows. The chosen player is given a little-known poem, which the player will recite with lively and expressive intonations. The rest of the participants in the celebration should write down on paper what they hear. The winner is the one who fixed the version of the verse close to the original text or the one whose creation caused more laughter.

Active games

On their birthday, all guests want to feel young, have plenty of fun. Why not satisfy their need for active entertainment? You can play games in the apartment, on the street: anywhere. The main thing is to think over the scenario and charge the guests with a positive attitude.

For a big company

  1. This competition will require free space. Prepare balloons of two colors according to the number of birthday guests. Have the guests split into teams based on their colors and tie balloons to their feet. At the signal of the birthday boy, everyone begins to pop the balls of their opponents with their feet, but protecting their own. The team whose balloon is the last on the battlefield wins.
  2. Mark a circle on the floor or otherwise limit the space of the game. Place two wide-brimmed hats on each player's head. Tie the leading hand of each behind the back. To get the title of champion in this competition, it is important to save your headdress, but to rip off the hat from the opponent's head. At the same time, remember that it is forbidden to leave the circle.
  3. Form heterosexual couples. Place a balloon between each stomach. When the music starts, each couple begins to dance merrily. But, at the same time, the guests are trying to protect the ball from being crushed.
  4. Each team has at least 4 people. To begin with, give them time to consult: you need to choose the name of the animal or bird that they will portray. Then blindfold the contestants and mix the players among themselves. After the signal, each emits the sounds of the creature they have chosen. And that's the only sound they can make. In this cacophony, people must form teams anew. The champion is the team that quickly gathers and joins hands.
  5. Set up a silent relay race. To do this, mark the points for changing participants: large circles of bright color. For the first player, stretch the elastic between the legs and secure the rattle, bells or bell. Everyone strives to get to the nearest point, making as little noise as possible. You can ring and strum only while transferring the gum to another person.

Don't be afraid to resort to traditional games.

  • Have a bag run! To do this, prepare two large clean bags and enough space for action. Arrange the players in two equal lines. Participants climb into them and get to the finish line as quickly as possible and ride back, exchanging with another contestant. The team that completes the task faster will win.
  • And here is another variation of the relay. The task of the participants is to run with a spoon with a tennis ball to the designated place. Instead of a ball, you can use a chocolate egg or other object that can be easily dropped. If the thing fell, you need to return to the beginning and run over the new one.

For several people

  1. For this competition, prepare a bag of clothes (take an equal amount) for every two guests. One of the couple is blindfolded. He must properly dress the second person without outside help, but usually something funny and ridiculous comes out. The winners are those who were able to dress relatively correctly and quickly.
  2. A group of players enter the center of the hall. Clothespins are hung on their clothes in equal numbers, each is tightly blindfolded. While the music is playing, everyone's task is to outweigh as many competitors' clothespins as possible and save their own.
  3. The competition is suitable if the room has a crystal clear floor or carpet. Two players of the same height and build get on all fours. A piece of paper is attached to each back (make sure it is large enough) with the word. The winner is the one who reads someone else's word, but does not show his own. At the same time, it is forbidden to stand up, tear off a piece of paper and take your hands off the floor.
  4. You can organize a competition with running in bags in a different way: instead of bags, just offer to jump to the finish line on one leg. The leg is chosen by the organizer, in the middle of the route he can change it. To make the task more difficult, organize the game on the street next to a small hill. Then the players will have to jump both up and down the hill.
  5. Divide the participants into two teams equal in number and capabilities. Each of them is given a long string. The team that will “sew” all the participants to each other faster than the rivals will win. You can do this by passing the rope through belt loops, sleeves and other protruding parts of the wardrobe. Use a strong, but not too wide rope to play without mishaps.
  6. Fasten small gifts for guests under the ceiling on thin threads. Everyone cuts off or plucks one for himself blindfolded, provided that you cannot stand on pieces of furniture. Each guest will receive a prize if they work hard and show ingenuity.
  7. Report that the participants were allegedly bitten by a venomous snake. But stay positive and have another contest. Invite them to dance despite the problems, in the second minute tell them that their legs are numb. Now you need to continue to move to the music, but you can not move the lower limbs. And so from toe to head. The winner is the dancer who was able to move incendiary, ignoring adversity.
  • Consider where the games are to be held. Take a good look at the floor space and other resources. This will avoid unpleasant incidents if the company is large and you want to organize mobile entertainment;
  • Consider the contingent of guests: age difference, character traits and physical development. For example, you should not arrange entertainment associated with heavy physical exertion if there are people with health problems among the invitees;
  • Prepare your program ahead of time. Do not rely on memory, even if you are sure of it. Write down the names of the contests, resources and algorithm of action, as well as gifts, if any. In the same papers, add spare options for entertainment. It may happen that the guests do not like the competition;
  • Check that you have the equipment for the competitions and are in working order: the rope is strong, all the inscriptions are printed in a readable font, and the markers write;
  • Do not allow an overabundance of vulgar games that are offensive to some participants in the celebration or those associated with drinking;
  • Encourage guests with words and material prizes. They will be both pleasant little things that are useful in everyday life, as well as champagne or a box of chocolates if a person has won a difficult competition. Determine the cost of gifts in advance. It is better to buy more than to deprive one or several guests of a pleasant present;
  • If you are a birthday person, try to also participate in entertainment, set a personal example. As an organizer, take into account his wishes when drawing up a program: after all, a person himself knows better how he wants to spend his day;
  • Don't force those who don't want to participate to play and have fun;
  • Distribute the contests so that physical and mental activities alternate. Try not to overdo it with them, sometimes guests will just want to relax in each other's company and have a delicious meal;
  • Between competitions (if you are just an organizer) pay attention to the person who is causing the celebration. Dilute the program with congratulations, jokes;
  • Do not forget to take as many photos and videos as possible, record memories of the holiday and then send them to guests;
  • Support the participants and ask other contestants to do the same. A sense of unity will benefit everyone, so results can increase.

People remember the positive moments of life and days filled with sincere fun and happiness. Therefore, try to please and rejoice. Don't be left out during the birthday party contests and aim for even small holiday victories. And then you will feel the charm of games even at an adult birthday party.

In a circle, the guests call one word each, characterizing the birthday man by the order of the letters in his name. For example, Irina. The first guest - and, playful, the second - p, luxurious, the third - and, interesting, the fourth - n, unusual, the fifth - a, artistic, and the sixth starts again with the first letter of the name, i.e. - and, and so on until the last guest. Who stumbles - flies out of the game. The most resourceful guest wins a prize.

Who is best acquainted with the birthday boy?

The host asks questions about the birthday man, and the guests answer. The fastest and smartest guest, who gave the most correct answers about the hero of the occasion, deserves a prize. Sample questions: What is the birthday boy's favorite fruit? birth weight? what position does he hold? what movie do you like? and so on.

Sushi in Russian

3-4 people participate. Each participant is given Chinese sticks, with which the rivals must transfer sweets from one vase to another as quickly as possible. Whoever completes the sushi task the fastest will receive a prize, such as a jar of soy sauce or a tube of wasabi.

What does the guest show?

Each guest in turn takes out a card with a certain emotion, for example, joy, pride, fun, despondency, disappointment, and so on. Guests stand in a row and each portray their chosen emotion. The birthday boy guesses what exactly the guests are showing, what emotions are depicted on their faces?

Congratulations of the nations

Each of the guests in turn pulls out his fant, which indicates a specific nationality, for example, Chinese, Ukrainian, new Russian, American, German, Armenian, and so on. And then everyone in turn gets up and says the words of congratulations in honor of the birthday man in the appropriate role. Whoever shows himself to the fullest will win, and for his artistry he will receive a prize.

Exclusive among guests

Guests receive sheets and pens. The facilitator in turn sets the task, for example, write your favorite fruit. The guests write their favorite fruit on the leaves and take turns calling it, whoever has the same fruit written on the leaf, he gets up, and the guest who named this fruit, and the guest who repeated it, leave. Guests who fail to match continue the game. The facilitator sets the task: write your favorite non-alcoholic drink, and the game continues along the same chain. The guests who stay until the end and who do not have matches with anyone are considered the most exclusive and receive prizes.
Task examples:
Favorite vegetable; favorite color; favorite direction in music; favorite season; favorite flower; favorite gem and so on.

Unique congratulations

Each guest in turn gets up and congratulates the birthday man on his birthday, inserting a certain word into his speech, which will be given for forfeits. Words should be interesting and complex, not used in everyday life, for example, transformer, collider, and so on. And if the company allows, then instead of words, you can prepare forfeits not with one word, but with whole sentences, for example, Argentina beckons a black man, the Boar fell and his paw on its side. It will be very funny and fun to listen to congratulations with a special accent.

Guess by smack

The birthday boy is blindfolded and seated on a chair. Each of the guests in turn approaches the birthday man and, without uttering a sound, smacks him. By such a smack, the birthday man guesses who kissed him.

Symbolism for the birthday

Guests are divided into several teams. Each team is given a large sheet of paper and markers or pens. Everyone is given 5-10 minutes to imagine and complete the task. And the task is this: you need to come up with a flag and rowing for the birthday man, depict them accordingly and explain the meaning, as well as compose a short hymn in a few lines. For the most fun, interesting option, the team will receive a prize and gratitude from the birthday man.

Bubble

It would seem a simple and unpretentious contest, but it is addictive and will be able to cheer up even the saddest guest at the holiday. Each participant is provided with soap bubbles, which can be bought at any market or children's store. The task of each participant is to blow the biggest soap bubble. Each participant has 5 attempts. Who will inflate the most-presame big soap bubble, he will receive a prize, for example, a pack of bubblegum.
