Children's New Year contests and games. New Year's games and contests for children Contests for children 6 years old new year

If the company has gathered a large one, you need to include other competitions and entertainment in the game program of the holiday. For example, such.

poetry competition

This is a competition for younger students. Prepare cards with rhymes and distribute to all guests at the beginning of the holiday. Come up with "New Year's" rhymes or use the following: years - grandfather, nose - frost, calendar - January, year - it's coming.

At the end of the holiday, before presenting gifts, everyone reads their poems and receives prizes for the best works.

Santa Claus is coming

First, invite all participants in the game to remember the text:

Santa Claus comes from the forest

He's coming to us for the holidays.

And we know that Santa Claus

Brings us gifts.

After the players repeat the text, offer the following conditions: you need to gradually replace the words with movements and gestures. The first word that is replaced is "we". Instead, everyone points to himself. With each new performance, there are fewer words, and more gestures.

Here are some gestures.

"Santa Claus" - point to the door. "Holiday" - jump and clap your hands. "Goes" - to walk on the spot. “We know” - touch your forehead with your index finger. "Gifts" - gesture to depict a large bag. And so on. At the last performance, only prepositions and the verb “carries” will remain.

What is hung on the tree

The facilitator can come up with his own version:

- The guys and I will play an interesting game: what they hang on the Christmas tree, I will name the kids.

If I say everything correctly, say "Yes!" in reply.

Well, if suddenly it’s wrong, say boldly:

"No!" Ready? Begin!

- Multi-colored crackers?

— Blankets and pillows?

— Folding beds and cribs?

- Marmalade, chocolates?

- Glass balls?

- Wooden chairs?

- Teddy bears?

— Primers and books?

- Are the beads multi-colored?

- Are the garlands bright?

- Shoes and boots?

- Cups, forks, spoons?

Are the candies shiny?

Are the tigers real?

- Are the buds golden?

Are the stars radiant?

I see you know how to decorate a Christmas tree. Do you know who Santa Claus is? If you agree with me, say "True" and disagree - "False."

True False

The facilitator starts the dialogue:

Everyone knows Santa Claus, right?

He comes at exactly seven

— Wrong!

Santa Claus is a good old man, right?

He wears a hat and galoshes, right?

— Wrong!

Santa Claus is coming soon, right?

He will bring gifts, right?

— It was cut down from a double-barreled shotgun, right?

— Wrong!

- The view is beautiful at our Christmas tree, right?

“There are red needles everywhere, right?

— Wrong!

— Santa Claus is afraid of the cold, right?

— Wrong!

- He is friends with the Snow Maiden, right?

What, the answers are given to the questions,

You know everything about Santa Claus,

And that means it's time

All kids are waiting for.

Let's call Santa Claus!

A game that jokingly tests how attentive children are.

The guys at the end of the couplet, where it makes sense, shout “Me too!” in unison. But you need to listen to Santa Claus well. Sometimes it's better to be silent.

Before spring, the bear fell asleep.

- This New Year's holiday

I will never forget.

— Been composing all day today —

It turned out to be nonsense!

A game similar to the previous one. An important condition: here you need to be able to say loudly not only “Yes!”, But also “No!”.

Doesn't he age in spirit?

Will it warm us up outside?

Is the new year getting closer?

- Is there a Snow Maiden in Paris?

Does Santa Claus bring gifts?

Does he drive a foreign car?

Does he wear a cane and a hat?

Does he sometimes look like his dad?

New Year's guessing game

The guys really like to finish poetry with Grandfather Frost.

Father Frost. It's snowing outside,

Holiday coming soon...

Children. Everyone!

I wanted to have a ball

For this game, the poem by Daniil Kharms “I wanted to arrange a ball” may come in handy. The host anticipates this fun with such an introduction. "Do you know how to receive guests?" he asks. Children, of course, answer "Yes!". “It’s very good,” the host continues. Unfortunately, some people don't know how to do it. It is about such strange people that we will compose a poem with you and the poet Daniil Kharms. I will start, and you have the main role: you will come up with rhymes.

Leading. I wanted to have a ball

And all the guests to yourself ...

Children. Called!

Leading. I bought flour, I bought cottage cheese,

I baked crumbly...

Children. Pie!

Leading. Pie, knives and forks here,

But something the guests don't...

Children. They're coming!

Leading. I waited until I had the strength

Then a piece...

Children. I took a bite!

Leading. Then he pulled up a chair and sat down,

And the whole pie in a minute...

Children. Ate!

Leading. When the guests arrived

Even crumbs...

Children. Not found!

This is a guessing game for the little ones, they are happy to show how a bunny jumps, how a clumsy bear walks and how different animals “talk”.

Father Frost. In the forest by the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve

There is a merry round dance.

Seated firmly on the bough,

Rooster cries...

Children. Ku-ka-re-ku!

Father Frost. And every time in response to him

Mooing cow...

Children. Moo, moo, moo!

Father Frost. I wanted to say “bravo” to the singers, but only the cat came out ...

Children. Meow!

Grandfather Freezing. Can't make out the words, say the frogs...

Children. Qua-qua-qua!

Father Frost. And something whispers to the bullfinch

Funny pig...

Children. Oink oink oink!

Father Frost. And smiling to myself

The goat sang...

Children. Be-be-be!

Father Frost. And who the hell is that? The cuckoo screamed...

Children. Ku-ku!

Seen at the zoo

This is a musical game where Santa Claus sings, and the children answer:

— Behind the bars at the gate, a huge hippopotamus sleeps.

- Here is a baby elephant, a quiet dream is guarded by an old elephant.

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

— The black-eyed marten is a wonderful bird!

- The evil-preslinging gray wolf snaps his teeth at the guys!

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

- Suddenly, penguins flew higher than spruce and aspen.

- You're confusing, you're confusing, Grandpa, you're confusing!

- Ponies - little horses, how funny ponies are!

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

- The insatiable beast jackal paced from wall to wall.

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

- And the green crocodile walked importantly across the field.

- You're confusing, you're confusing, Grandpa, you're confusing!

Children must answer correctly, without losing the rhythm.

New Year's game "Answer the opposite"

This game is played at the end of the New Year holiday. The facilitator goes around the circle and asks questions. The one to whom he asks them can answer them, and all the guys should help in unison. Gradually (this is the responsibility of the facilitator) more and more guys answer. And the word "End" should already be said by the whole hall.

I'll say the word "high"

And you answer - "low".

I'll say the word "far away"

And you answer - "close."

I'll tell you the word "full",

You will answer - "hungry."

I'll say "hot" to you,

You answer - "cold".

I'll tell you the word "lie down",

You will answer me - "get up."

I'll tell you later "father",

You will answer me - "mother."

I'll tell you the word "dirty"

You will answer me - "clean".

I will say "slow" to you,

You will answer me - "quick".

I'll tell you the word "coward"

You will answer - "brave".

Now "beginning" I'll say

You answer - "the end."

Snowball

Distribution of gifts is the most pleasant and long-awaited moment at the New Year's holiday. It is always accompanied by some kind of attraction or game. The proposed game is suitable for a few home and not crowded "family" holidays. The redemption of New Year's prizes from Santa Claus's bag is arranged as follows: in a circle, adults and children pass a specially prepared "snowball" - made of cotton wool or white fabric. It's nice for Santa Claus to have one in his bag. “Kom” is transmitted, Santa Claus says:

Snowball we all roll,

We all count to five

One two three four five -

You sing a song.

You dance to dance.

You have to guess a riddle...

The person who bought the prize leaves the circle, and the game continues.

fairy tale nonsense

Children really like it when Grandfather confuses something. For example, how animals "talk". The guys "teach" Santa Claus and correct him. According to the same principle, a fun was invented in which the "dark" Baba Yaga or someone from her entourage mix up the names of all fairy-tale heroes. For example:

Goblin(Baba Yaga). Here, old, I was walking through the forest yesterday, and to meet me - this green crocodile with his Buracheshka!

Baba Yaga. Not Buracheshka, you stupid dumbass, but Burchekashka!

Goblin. No, Buracheshka!

Yaga. Burchekashka!

Goblin. And we'll ask the guys, Buracheshka or Burchekashka?

Children. Cheburashka!

Goblin. So I say, Cheburashka! They go, so they ask me if I saw this, Chi-no-bu-ra.

Yaga. Here's an idiot! You are an idiot, Goblin! Remember, not Tinoburo, but Roboutino!

Goblin. So guys?

Children. Pinocchio!

Goblin. Wow, Pinocchio!

Yaga. And why do they need Pinocchio?

Goblin. So I ask, why? And they tell me: “Today will be a big holiday. Everyone will gather there: both Dyuychomovka and Saloruchka "...

Yaga. Who-who?

Goblin. Dyuychomovka, Saloruchka ... So, children?

Children. No not like this.

Goblin. But as?

Children. Thumbelina, Little Mermaid!

Goblin. In, in, and this Grandfather Romoz himself will come to them with his Sgunerochka!

Children. Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden!

Such an approximate scene may be present in the New Year's scenario, or the presenter for the holiday may prepare a funny story. The older the children, the more incomprehensible and funnier you can change the names. If there are few guys, then you can even identify a connoisseur of the names of fairy-tale characters and give him a prize.

Visiting Santa Claus

This is a game for kids. Santa Claus invites children to go to his forest hut. When the guys stand behind Grandfather with a “train”, he leads them, sentencing and showing different movements that the children must perform.

We held hands together

How the horses galloped.

(Grandfather shows how horses jump, raising their knees high, and the children repeat.)

We jump one after another -

We are not afraid of the cold!

And now we are like bears

We went along the path.

(Grandfather walks slowly, waddling from foot to foot, the children repeat.)

We're walking along

And we don't get tired

Like playful bunnies

Both girls and boys!

(Everyone jumps like bunnies.)

Jump, pranksters,

On a happy holiday!

- Here we are! Grandpa announces. - Dance, have fun!

(Funny music sounds, children jump, dance.)

Santa Claus puts the kids in a round dance, himself in the middle. Sings and shows the children movements:

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

I chose a Christmas tree for the children. (2 times)

(Looks right and left from under the palm.)

Like this, look

I chose a Christmas tree for the children!

(Children sing the last two lines of each verse and repeat the movements after Grandfather.)

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

I was looking for my boots. (2 times)

(Santa Claus, dancing, shows his boots.)

Like this, look

Looking for my boots!

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

He wore mittens. (2 times)

(Shows how he put on his mittens.)

Like this, look

Wearing gloves!

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

Tried on this coat. (2 times)

(Shows how he put on a fur coat.)

Like this, look

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

Fur hemmed the hat...

I've been waiting for a holiday

And collecting gifts...

At the end of the game, Santa Claus and the guys start dancing.

We all roll a snowball, We all count to five - One, two, three, four, five - You sing a song. Or: And you read poetry. Or: You dance dance. Or: You guess a riddle ...

The person who bought the prize leaves the circle, and the game continues on.

12. There are Christmas trees

We decorated the Christmas tree with different toys, and in the forest different Christmas trees grow, both wide and low, tall, thin. Now, if I say "high" - raise your hands up. "Low" - squat and lower your arms. "Wide" - make the circle wider. "Thin" - make a circle already. And now let's play! (The host plays, trying to confuse the children).

13. Telegram to Santa Claus

The guys are asked to name 13 adjectives: "fat", "red", "hot", "hungry", "sluggish", "dirty" ... When all the adjectives are written down, the presenter takes out the text of the telegram and inserts the missing adjectives from the list into it .

Text of the telegram: "... Grandfather Frost! All ... children are looking forward to your ... arrival. New Year is the most ... holiday of the year. We will sing for you ... songs, dance ... dances "Finally, it's... New Year! How I hate to talk about... studies. We promise that we will only get... grades. So open your... bag as soon as possible and give us... gifts." With respect to you... boys and... girls!"

14. Let's make caps

Santa Claus invites the participants of the game to look at a set of jars of various sizes and shapes from a distance. You cannot take them in hand. Each player has a piece of cardboard, from which they must cut the lids so that they fit exactly into the holes of the cans. The winner is the one who has more lids exactly matched the holes of the cans.

15. Little pigs

For this contest, prepare some delicate dish - for example, jelly. The task of the participants is to eat it as quickly as possible using matches or toothpicks.

16. Smeshinka

Each player gets some name, say, a cracker, a lollipop, an icicle, a garland, a needle, a flashlight, a snowdrift ... The driver goes around everyone in a circle and asks various questions:

Who are you? - Flapper. - What holiday is today? - Lollipop. - And what is it with you (pointing to the nose)? - Icicle. - And what drips from the icicle? - Garland...

Each participant must answer any questions with their "name", while the "name" can be inflected accordingly. Questioners should not laugh. Whoever laughs is out of the game and gives up his phantom. Then a drawing of tasks for forfeits is held.

17. Mask, I know you

The leader puts on a mask to the player. The player asks different questions to which he receives answers - hints:

This animal? - No. - Human? - No. - Bird? - Yes! - Homemade? - Not really. - Does she cackle? - No. - Quacking? - Yes! - It's a duck!

The one who guesses correctly gets the mask itself as a prize.

18. Harvest

The task of the players of each team is to transfer oranges to a certain place as quickly as possible without the help of hands. Santa Claus is the leader. He gives the start and announces the winner.

19. Tear the newspaper

Santa Claus chooses 2 contestants. The task is to tear the newspaper as soon as possible and smaller. With one hand, right or left, it doesn’t matter - tear the newspaper into small pieces, while the hand is stretched forward, you can’t help with your free hand. Who will do the job less.

20. Fairy tale

When you have gathered at least 5-10 guests (age does not matter), offer them this game. Take a children's book with a fairy tale (the simpler - the better, ideal - "Ryaba Hen", "Kolobok", "Turnip", "Teremok", etc.). Choose a leader (he will be a reader). Write out all the heroes of the fairy tale from the book on separate sheets, including, if the number of people allows, trees, stumps, a river, buckets, etc. All guests pull pieces of paper with roles. The host begins to read the fairy tale, and all the characters "come to life" ....

21. Laughter

Plays any number of participants. All participants in the game, if it is a free area, form a large circle. In the center - the driver (Santa Claus) with a handkerchief in his hands. He throws the handkerchief up, while he flies to the ground, everyone laughs loudly, the handkerchief is on the ground - everyone subsides. As soon as the handkerchief touched the ground, this is where the laughter begins, and we take a phantom from the funniest ones - this is a song, a verse, etc.

22. Rope

It is necessary that the majority of those gathered before this did not play it. In an empty room, a long rope is taken, and a labyrinth is stretched so that a person, passing, sits down somewhere, steps over somewhere. Having invited another player from the next room, they explain to him that he must go through this labyrinth blindfolded, before that remembering the location of the rope. The audience will tell him. When the player is blindfolded, the rope is removed. The player sets out on a journey by stepping over and crawling under a non-existent rope. Spectators are asked in advance not to give out the secret of the game.

23. Roll

This game will help to get to know all your guests. Guests sitting at the table pass a roll of toilet paper in a circle. Each guest tears off as many scraps as he wants, the more the better. When each guest has a stack of scraps, the host announces the rules of the game: each guest must tell as many facts about himself as he has torn scraps.

24. With signs

At the entrance, each guest receives his new name - a piece of paper with an inscription is attached to his back (giraffe, hippopotamus, mountain eagle, bulldozer, bread slicer, rolling pin, cucumber, etc.). Each guest can read the names of the other guests, but, of course, cannot read the names of himself. The task of each guest is to learn their new name from the others during the evening. Guests can only answer "Yes" or "No" to questions. The first to know what is written on his piece of paper wins.

25. Joke game

All guests stand in a circle and put their hands on each other's shoulders. The host (Santa Claus) says "duck" or "goose" in everyone's ear (in a scatter, say "duck" to a larger number of players). Then he explains the rules of the game: "If I now say:" Goose ", then all the players whom I called so, draw in one leg. And if it is "Duck", then the players whom I called "Duck" draw in both legs. A lot is guaranteed to you.

26. Mysterious chest

Each of the two players has their own chest or suitcase containing various items of clothing. The players are blindfolded, and at the command of the leader, they begin to put on things from the chest. The task of the players is to dress up as quickly as possible.

27. Colors

The players become in a circle. The leader commands: "Touch yellow, one, two, three!" Players as quickly as possible try to take hold of the thing (object, part of the body) of the other participants in the circle. Who did not have time - leaves the game. The host repeats the command again, but with a new color. The last one left wins.

28. Ride the ball

All participants of the competition line up in teams of 3 people. Each "troika" of players receives a tight volleyball. At the signal of the leader, one of the players of the trio, supported under the elbows by two other players, stepping on the ball, rolls it. The group that reaches the finish line first wins.

29. Draw the sun

Teams take part in this relay game, each of which lines up in a column "one at a time". At the start, in front of each team, there are gymnastic sticks according to the number of players. In front of each team, at a distance of 5-7 meters, put a hoop. The task of the relay race participants is to alternately, on a signal, running out with sticks, spread them out in rays around their hoop - "draw the sun." The team that completes the task faster wins.

30. Walkers

Participants are invited, standing with one foot on the base of the dumbbell, and with the other, starting from the floor, overcome a given distance.

31. Sculptors

The participants of the game are given plasticine or clay. The host shows or calls a letter, and the players must, as quickly as possible, blind an object whose name begins with this letter.

32. All the way around

Players are invited to try to draw or color something, but with their left hand, and those who are left-handed - with their right.

33. Crumple up the paper

Inventory: Newspapers according to the number of participants. Game: An unfolded newspaper spreads on the floor in front of the players. The task is to crumple the newspaper at the signal of the presenter, trying to collect the entire sheet into a fist. Winner: The participant who gathered the newspaper into a ball the fastest.

34. New Year's game

For the game we need:

Long rope; - threads; - scissors 1 piece; - a bandage on the eyes, so as not to see anything; - children, adults who will play; - and of course gifts for everyone (sweets, decorative toys, soaps, etc.).

We stretch and fasten a long rope (if there is nowhere to fasten it, then someone will have to hold it). We hang our gifts on a long rope with a thread (or, to make it New Year's, we hang it on a Christmas tree rain).

We take a player, blindfold him, give him scissors in his hands, twist him, then direct him towards the hanging gifts so that he can cut off his gift, then the next player, etc.

35. Competition with gifts

The host (adult) or Santa Claus invites the participants - the children to guess what is in the bag - by touch? How many nuts (sweets, etc.) are in the bag? Which animal toy is hidden in the bag? How many pages are in the book? What is the name of the doll, etc. and so on.? The one who answers correctly receives this thing as a prize.

36. Game

Santa Claus without a nose is drawn on a large sheet of paper and hung on the wall. Sculpt the nose from plasticine, and the children take turns blindfolded trying to stick the nose in place. In a company of kids, the behavior of the driver usually causes wild joyful laughter.

37. Snowflake

Each child is given a "snowflake", that is, a small ball of cotton wool. Children loosen their snowflakes and, at your signal, launch them into the air and begin to blow on them from below so that they stay in the air as long as possible. The smartest one wins.

38. Dress up the Christmas tree.

They make several Christmas toys from cotton wool (apples, pears, fish) with wire hooks and a fishing rod with the same hook. It is necessary to hang all the toys on the Christmas tree with the help of a fishing rod, and then remove them with the same fishing rod. The winner is the one who manages to do it in a set time, for example, two minutes. A spruce branch fixed on a stand can serve as a herringbone.

39. With a hat

There are different words in the hat; children take it in turns to take out, read and sing lines from songs where these words occur. Songs (and words) should be about winter and the New Year holiday (herringbone, round dance, frost, hoarfrost, snowflake, icicle, etc.).

40. Associations

Let the guys take turns listing everything that happens in the New Year: Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, snow, gifts, Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, cake, needles, on the floor, lanterns, and more. The one who runs out of ideas is out of the game, and the most persistent wins. The child for a minute (or any other established time) carefully looks at the tree, and then turns away and lists in as much detail as possible what hangs on it. The one who remembers the most wins. Of course, if the host kid studied his Christmas tree in advance, or even dressed it up himself, then his winnings will not be very fair: he probably shouldn’t compete.

41. Touch

As many toys as possible are put into Santa's bag. Each child puts his hand in there, determines by touch what he caught there, and describes in detail. After everyone has got a toy out of the bag, you can announce that these are New Year's gifts (this, of course, is not improvisation, you took care of the gifts in advance).

42. Ice cream

The Snow Maiden's favorite delicacy is ice cream. Children take turns naming the types of ice cream. Whoever thinks for more than 5 seconds loses. They pull the rope, various small prizes (toys, sweets, etc.) are hung on strings on it. The participant is blindfolded and given scissors. He must go to the rope and cut off the prize that he can. Then the next participant receives the scissors. And so on until the prizes run out (prepare more of them).

43. Competition: cut a snowflake out of a napkin (paper) as quickly as possible.

44. Build a snowman

To play, you need two flannelgraphs (a board or a frame with a flannel stretched over them measuring 100x70 cm) and parts of the Snowman figure cut out of paper and glued onto the flannel, a carrot nose, a broom, a hat (2 sets). Two compete. Everyone tries to collect their Snowman as soon as possible.

45. Trap

Having run away from the Snowman (or Santa Claus), the children stop and, clapping their hands, say: "One-two-three! One-two-three! Well, hurry up and catch us!" With the end of the text, everyone scatters. Snowman (Santa Claus) is catching up with the children.

46. Playing with rattles

Children, holding rattles in their hands, run in all directions to the cheerful music around the hall. When the music ends, the children stop and hide the rattles behind their backs. The fox (or another character participating in the game) is looking for rattles. She asks the children to show her first one, then the other hand. Children behind their backs shift rattles from one hand to another, as if showing that there is nothing in their hand. The fox is surprised that the rattles have disappeared. The music plays again and the game repeats.

47. Hares and fox

Children follow the text.

Bunnies ran across the forest lawn. These are the bunnies, Bunnies - runaways. (Children-bunnies easily run around the hall.) The bunnies sat in a circle, They dig a root with their paws. These are the bunnies, Bunnies - runaways.

("Bunnies" sit down and perform imitative movements in the text.)

Here is a fox running - Red-haired sister. Looking for where the bunnies are, Bunnies are running around.

(The fox runs between the children, catches up with the kids with the end of the song.)

48. Christmas tree

The game is played by 2 teams of 2 people. At the end of the hall there are 2 boxes for each team: in one, a dismantled Christmas tree, in the other - toys. The first participant must assemble the Christmas tree, the second - decorate it with toys. The team that completes the task the fastest wins.

49. Who will score more snowballs

Two children are playing. Snowballs from cotton wool are scattered on the floor. The children are blindfolded and given a basket each. On a signal, they begin to collect snowballs. The one with the most snowballs wins.

50. Boots

Large boots are placed in front of the Christmas tree. Two children are playing. On a signal, they run around the Christmas tree from different sides. The winner is the one who runs around the Christmas tree faster and puts on boots.

51. Give the snowman a nose

2 coasters are placed in front of the Christmas tree, large sheets with the image of snowmen are attached to them. Two or more children are involved. They are blindfolded. On a signal, the children should reach the snowmen and stick their nose (it could be a carrot). Other children help with words: to the left, to the right, below, above ...

52. Carry in a bag

A bag is placed in front of the Christmas tree (it is partitioned into 2 parts, one of them has no bottom). Santa Claus calls children who want to ride in a bag. He puts the child in a bag and carries him around the Christmas tree. He puts another child in that part of the bag where there is no bottom. Santa Claus walks around the Christmas tree, and the child remains in place. Santa Claus returns and is “surprised”. The game is repeated.

Several couples are involved. Children stand opposite each other at a distance of approximately 4 meters. One child has an empty bucket, the other has a bag with a certain amount of “snowballs” (tennis or rubber balls). On a signal, the child throws snowballs, and the partner tries to catch them with a bucket. The pair that finishes the game first and collects the most snowballs wins.

54. Guess who I am!

The game is more fun when many guests take part in it at once. The leader is blindfolded, the rest join hands and stand around the "blind". The host claps his hands, and the guests begin to move in a circle. The host claps again - and the circle freezes. Now the host must point to a player and try to guess who it is.

If he manages to do it on the first try, then the one who was guessed leads. As a variant of this game, you can introduce a rule according to which the host can ask the player to reproduce something, portray an animal - bark or meow, etc.

55. Break the Ice

Everyone is divided into two teams, each receives one ice cube (it is desirable that the cubes are the same size). The challenge is to melt the ice as soon as possible. The cube must constantly move from one player to another. Participants can warm it in their hands, rub it, etc. The team that melts the ice first wins.

56. Association run

The person sitting on the edge says two random words aloud. For example: a safe and an orange. The next participant, clockwise, describes aloud the image connecting the second word with the first. For example, "a giant orange rolls out of an open safe" and then names his new invented word, such as "egg".

The third participant connects the second word with the third phrase: "There was an egg under the orange peel", and sets his own word. The next one connects this word with the previous one, and so on. So the game goes in a circle. At any moment, the host can give the command "Stop" and ask the one who stopped the game to repeat the entire chain of words: safe, orange, egg, etc. The child who failed to complete the task is eliminated and the game starts again.

Games and contests with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden in round dances and near the Christmas tree

round dances

The traditional New Year's round dance can be complicated, made more entertaining. The leader sets the tone for the round dance, changes the pace of movement, direction. After one or two circles, a round dance can be led by a snake, maneuvering between guests and furniture. The steeper the loops of the snake, the more fun. The leader along the way can come up with various options: include in the chain those who are not participating in the round dance, slow down sharply, etc.

Decorate the Christmas tree

There are two artificial Christmas trees in the hall. - There are only a few minutes left before the New Year, - says the Snow Maiden, - and these Christmas trees have not yet been decorated. Perhaps there are two dexterous people in the hall who will quickly do this. Cardboard toys, papier-mache and other unbreakable toys are laid out on tables 5-6 steps from the Christmas tree. But to complete the task of the Snow Maiden is not so easy.

The Snow Maiden reports that a short circuit has occurred, and the Christmas trees will have to be decorated in the dark (blindfolded). Perhaps someone will hang their toys on a neighbor's tree, but the one whose tree is more elegant will win.

circle toy

Santa Claus invites the participants to stand facing each other. Music begins to play, and a toy, for example, a doll with the image of the Snow Maiden, passing from hand to hand, moves in a circle. The music stops, the transfer of the toy stops. Whoever has the doll left is out of the game. The game continues until one person remains. If there are a lot of players, you can put several dolls in a circle.

Compliments to the Snow Maiden

Santa Claus summons a young man who wants to play, who should say compliments to the Snow Maiden, taking out matches from an apple completely studded with matches. His Santa Claus gives the player before the start of the competition.

Snowballs

In a suspended (or standing on the floor) basket, you need to throw 6 “snowballs” - white tennis balls from a distance of 6-7 steps. The one who will cope with this task most accurately will win.

Snowflakes

The Snow Maiden invites several guests to take light cotton snowflakes from the tray. Each player tosses his snowflake and, blowing on it, tries to keep it in the air as long as possible. The one who dropped his fluff can approach a friend and help him complete the task of the Snow Maiden.

magic words

The game is led by the Snow Maiden, she invites two teams of 10 people each, gives them a set of large letters that make up the word "Snow Maiden", Each participant receives one letter. The task is as follows: in the story read by the Snow Maiden, there will be words made up of these letters. As soon as such a word is uttered, the owners of the letters that make it up must come forward and, rebuilding, form this word. The team ahead of the opponents gets a point.

sample story

There was a fast river. Snow fell on the fields. The mountain behind the village became white. And the bark on the birches sparkled with hoarfrost. Somewhere the sleigh runners creak. Where are they heading?

Centipede racing

In a fairly spacious room, you can hold centipede races. The players are divided into two teams and line up at the back of each other's head, taking the belt in front of them with their hands. A chair is placed at the opposite wall, which the chain of players must go around, and then return back. If the chain is broken, the leader can count the team as a loser. The task can be complicated and made more ridiculous if the teams move half-crouched, if both teams perform the task at the same time.

A variant of this game is "Snake". The "head" - the first in the column - must catch the "tail" that eludes it. Having caught it, the "head" goes to the end of the column, the game is repeated again. The “torn off” chain links are considered losers and are out of the game.

Two Frosts

A group of guys is located at one end of the hall (room) beyond the conditional line. Drivers - Frosts - are in the middle of the hall. They turn to the guys with the words:

We are two young brothers, (Together): Two frosts are remote. - I am Frost-red nose. - I am Frost-blue nose. Which of you will dare to set off on a journey?

Everyone answers:

We are not afraid of threats, and we are not afraid of frost! The players run to the other side of the hall behind the "home" line. Both Frosts catch and "freeze" those who run across. Those immediately stop at the place where they were “frozen”. Then the Frosts again turn to the players, and they, having answered, run across the hall, helping out the “frozen” ones: they touch them with their hands, and they join the rest.

Auction Santa Claus says:

There is a wonderful tree in our hall. And what toys on it! What do you know about Christmas decorations? This magnificent prize will be given to the person with the last answer. Players take turns saying words. During pauses, the host begins to slowly count: “Clapperboard - one, cracker - two ...” The auction continues.

Prank game

Santa Claus announces to the audience that none of those present will be able to repeat after him the three short phrases that he will say. Of course, no one will agree with him. Then Santa Claus, as if looking for words, utters a short phrase. For example: "Today is a wonderful evening." Everyone confidently repeats this phrase. Santa Claus, embarrassed, looks for and uncertainly says the second phrase. It is also easily repeated by everyone. Then he quickly and joyfully says: “So you made a mistake!” The crowd is protesting. And Santa Claus explains that his third phrase, which had to be repeated, was: “So you made a mistake!”

Two are better than one

Any three toys are placed on the floor: a ball, a cube, a skittle. Two players come out and start dancing around them (the game can be played to music). As soon as the music stops or Santa Claus gives the command "Stop!", each player should try to grab two toys. Whoever gets one loses. The game can be complicated: increase the number of participants and, accordingly, the number of toys or objects. Whoever grabs the most toys wins.

Under a lucky star

The winner of this game will be the one who first finds a star hanging from the ceiling with a number announced by the host. Stars with a large number written on both sides are pre-hung on threads from the ceiling of the room (or hall) where the dances will take place. As the dance progresses, the music stops for a minute, and Santa Claus proclaims: “Lucky Star - 15!” The dancers try to quickly find a star with this number. The winner is awarded a prize.

Watch your back

Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden gives various commands to those standing in a circle, and they must be carried out only if the word “please” is added to the command, for example, “Please put your hands up”, “Lower your right hand!”, “Please clap your hands” and etc. The game is fun, at a fast pace. Those who make a mistake are out of the game. The remaining one is awarded the title of “Most Attentive Guest” and a prize is awarded.

Letter to Santa Claus

Children are asked to name 13 adjectives: "fat", "red", "hot", "hungry", "sluggish", "dirty"...

When all the adjectives are written down, the presenter takes out the text of the letter and inserts the missing adjectives from the list into it. Telegram text:

"... Grandfather Frost! All... the children are looking forward to your... arrival. New Year is the most... holiday of the year. We will sing for you... songs, dance... dances! Finally- then the New Year will come! How I hate to talk about... studies. We promise that we will receive only... grades. So, open your... bag as soon as possible and give us... gifts. Regards to you... boys and... girls!"

Santa Claus is coming to us

In this game, it is proposed to first memorize the text:

Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming to us, Santa Claus is coming to us. And we know that Santa Claus brings us gifts.

After the text has been repeated, it is proposed to replace words with movements and gestures. The first words that are replaced are the word "we". Instead of these words, everyone points to themselves. With each new performance, there are fewer words, and more gestures. Instead of the words "Santa Claus" everyone points to the door, the word "goes" is replaced by walking on the spot, the word "know" - touch the forehead with the index finger, the word "gifts" - a gesture depicting a large bag. At the last performance, all words disappear, except for prepositions and the verb "will bring."

It's me. it's me, it's all my friends...

The host, having learned the questions in advance, asks them to the children, who answer with the same phrase. Many more questions can be asked. The main thing is to have fun.

- Who walks to school like a merry gang every day? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you, say aloud, catches flies at the lesson? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Who is not afraid of frost, flies like a bird on skates? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you, when you grow up, will only go to astronauts? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you does not walk gloomy, loves sports and physical education? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you, so good, went sunbathing in galoshes? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. Who does their homework on time? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you keeps books, pens and notebooks in order? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. “Which of you kids walks dirty to the ears?” It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which one of you walks upside down on the pavement? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. “Which one of you, I want to know, has five diligence?” It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. How many of you come to class an hour late? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends.

What is on the tree?

The facilitator memorizes the following rhymes in advance. You can come up with many more new ones. The task of the game is explained to the children: when you hear the name of a Christmas tree toy, you need to raise your hand up and say: “Yes!”, And when something that does not happen on the Christmas tree is called, you must restrain yourself and remain silent. The facilitator does not pronounce the text very quickly, but also without giving the children time to think too much. Very soon it becomes funny to everyone, because mistakes inevitably occur.

Text: Soft toy, Clapperboard, Petenka-Petrushka, Old tub. White snowflakes, Sewing machines, Bright pictures, Torn shoes. Tiles - chocolates, Horses and horses, Bunnies from fleece, Winter tents. Red lanterns, Bread crackers, Bright flags, Hats and scarves. Apples and cones, Petya's panties, Delicious sweets, Fresh newspapers.

Snow made of white cotton, Backpacks and briefcases. Shoes and boots, Cups, forks, spoons. The balls are shiny, the tigers are real. Cones are golden, stars are radiant.

What changed?

This game requires good visual memory. Participants are offered a task in turn: for a minute, examine the toys hanging on one or two branches of the Christmas tree and remember them. Then you need to leave the room - at this time, several toys (three or four) will outweigh: some will be removed, others will be added. Entering the room, you need to examine your branches and say what has changed. Depending on age, you can complicate and simplify tasks.

Game for the New Year's round dance (Condition: the leader reads poetry, and the participants in the game say "and I" after those quatrains, where appropriate).

I love to walk in the snow And I love to play snowballs. I love skiing, I also love skating. I love to sing, play and dance in winter and summer. And I also like to chew sweets Right with a candy wrapper. I love to fly on a sled So that the wind whistles ... Today I put on a warm fur coat inside out. I guessed riddles And received gifts, I ate a lot of sweet apples, I didn’t get bored for a minute! Both girls and boys In a round dance rather run, And fluffy bunnies Sleep under the Christmas tree in the snow. So our feet danced, Even the floor began to creak, And in the forest in his lair Before spring, the bear fell asleep. Our Christmas tree is full of toys. Ah, what a beauty! The cracker clapped loudly, And inside it is empty. This New Year's holiday I will never forget. I've been composing all day today - It's rubbish!

New Year's round dance (The host or Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden recite the chant, and the participants in the round dance repeat the chorus).

We seem to be in a wonderful fairy tale Or maybe in a dream. Who is there in a terrible mask Approaching me? Chorus: I don't recognize you, But don't stand still! I dance and sing, Let's dance together! Hares, squirrels, fairies, wolves... This is a disguised people. We dance around the green Christmas tree. Chorus: Our Christmas tree is so beautiful, All in toys and lights. Lights shine playfully, Are reflected in the eyes. Chorus: Santa Claus dances with us And the Snow Maiden sings. This is a meeting with miracles, This is a holiday, New Year!

The host draws out the first syllables of words to confuse the participants in the game (“mo-lo-o-dets”). The game from a slow pace takes on an accelerated character. Those who are inattentive remain in their playing places, and those who perform movements in accordance with the words without error take a step forward. Thus, the winners are the participants in the game who have reached the leader faster than the others.

The second participants enter the game, etc. The team with the most balls in the gate wins.

To play, you will need two large reels (perhaps made by yourself), two round sticks are also suitable, as well as a rope 6-8 m long, the middle of which is marked with a ribbon.

Two players take the coils and diverge from each other, as far as the rope allows. On a signal, each of them begins to quickly rotate the coil in his hands and, winding the rope around it, moves forward. The winner is the one who winds the rope to the middle first.

Games for winter holidays in kindergarten

Salikhova Elena Nikolaevna, musical director of kindergarten No. 89 "Golden Grains", the city of Sevastopol.
The content of the work. Readers are offered three massive New Year's games. These games are designed for New Year's mornings held with children of the senior and preparatory groups. These games are best played with a large number of children, at least twelve to fifteen people. Then they will be fun, and the children will receive the very portion of positive emotions that you are counting on. You can understand how these games “work” by reading my New Year's scenarios posted on the Entertainment Pantry website.
The purpose of the game material. First of all, these games may be of interest to music directors working with the age category of six to seven years old, not younger. They will be appropriate for winter holidays and entertainment in kindergarten and elementary school. They can also be used during winter festivities in various open areas.
Target: Creating a cheerful joyful mood in children present at the holiday.
Tasks:
Active participation of each child in the festive action.
Free expression of positive emotions of children.
Creative use by children of their knowledge in a relaxed playful atmosphere.

Game "Tell me how you live?"
This game was developed by me directly for the "New Year's guests" scenario. But it can be used at any children's holiday, where fun and jokes are supposed. No attributes are required to play this game. It is carried out by two adult characters participating in a children's party. It can be Winter and Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and Winter, two Buffoons and so on. The words of the game must be spoken clearly and distinctly by each character in turn. The second character does everything that children have to do and say. This will be a kind of clue for children. A variant is possible when one character says all the words, and the other at this time, together with the children, performs all the game actions. In addition to the purely gaming component, the value of this game is that it can be a prologue to a surprise presentation of gifts.

Game progress.
First character: Are we going to play with the guys today?
Second character: Certainly! How about no game? I propose to play the game "How do you live?"
First character: Then we begin to ask the guys questions, and let them answer them, but not only with words, but also with gestures.
The game "Tell me how you live?" The characters of the holiday ask questions in turn.
How do you guys live? Children: Great! Extend the right hand forward with the thumb raised.
How are you guys eating? Children: Hrum, hrum, hrum, hrum!
How are you guys kidding? Children: La-la-la! La-la-la! At the same time, they raise their arms bent at the elbows with spread fingers and jumps turn around themselves.

Show how you threaten? Children: But - but - but! They shake with the index finger raised up.
Show me how you go Children: One, two! One, two! They walk in place.
And how do you drink water, children? Children throw back their heads, bring two hands to their mouths and make a retracting movement with their lips.
How are you kids crying? Children rub their eyes and whimper.
And how do you jump from happiness? Children are jumping in place.
How quiet are you? Children: Shh - s - s! Put the index finger to the lips.
And "Goodbye" show! Children: Goodbye! They wave their hand. At this time, the characters pretend that they are going to leave. They wave goodbye to the children. One of the adults delays them at the party. If, on the contrary, the characters need to leave, then they have the opportunity to quietly leave.
Note. It's okay if the children, in response to the character's question, make another, appropriate gesture, or say their own line. This will express their immediacy and creativity. No need to stop the game because of this or make a remark to the children. By doing this, you can spoil the festive mood not only for this child, but for everyone present.

Fun workout game
I composed this game for the annual regional winter holiday. Each kindergarten exhibited its fairy-tale characters to participate in this holiday. They should have come with their original game. Before the performance, all the characters demonstrated to the professional commission which games are included in their performances. We didn't want our artists to have to blush for the fact that their games are the same as anyone else. So I decided to write my own game. Since the game had to be played with a very large number of children, I immediately ruled out paraphernalia.
The game is played by one or two characters invited to the party. In this case, it was two Buffoons. One character calls out the words while the other says the words and performs activities with the children. If the game is played by one character, then he must both speak words and perform actions related to the content of the game.
Game progress.
Characters:
And now we are children
We invite you to play.
To make it more interesting
We will do everything together.

A fun warm-up let us make friends.
We have a fun workout for you!
Children perform actions according to the content of the "Warm-up".
Let's all drown together.
Now let's clap!
Let's wave our wings. They wave with both hands.
Like bunnies, let's dance. They jump on two legs.

Let's crow roosters.
We stand on one leg. They stand on one leg, arms to the sides.

Like cows moo.
Like cats meow.

And the mice: pi - pi - pi!
They hid from the cat! They squat down.

We stretch our necks.
Who's longer? They stand up and stretch their necks.

Everything is like geese: ha - ha - ha!
Have fun? Children: Yes Yes Yes!
We don't stand, we run. Run in place.
Like monkeys we play pranks. Spread fingers and bend
from side to side.

We want to scare everyone.
Like tiger cubs roar! They growl loudly: r - r - r - r - r!

We don't stand still
Friendly, fun run. Run in place.

We clap our hands! Clap.
We stomp very loudly! They stomp.

Together we will shout: hurrah! They jump up and down and scream.
It's time to end the fun workout!

Note. This game can be played at any mass holiday - festivities. For example, on "Shrovetide" or "Day of the Preschool Worker". Can be done both outdoors and indoors.

Game "Magic Snowflakes"
I came up with this game for the New Year's holiday in the preparatory group. It has a narrower purpose. Designed for children of the preparatory group. With older children, it can be done if they can read and make words on their own. The game is played by Santa Claus.

The game requires double-sided paper snowflakes. Some of them are quite clearly written letters. The letters of the same word must be written in the same color. But each word should be in its own color scheme. Snowflakes are laid out in advance under the Christmas tree or on its branches with letters down even before the start of the holiday.

Game progress.
Father Frost: Oh what a lot of snow!
Even on your Christmas Tree there are Snowflakes. Do you want to play with them?
Presenter: Of course we do, Santa Claus!
Father Frost: But first, I'll tinker a little.
Santa Claus walks around the Christmas tree, waving his staff.
Father Frost:
Snowflakes - fluffs, messengers of Winter,
Be magical for our game.
It seems to work.
Let the music sound more fun
Start the game soon!
Cheerful music sounds, the children run up to the Christmas tree, take any Snowflake for themselves and run around the hall with it in all directions.

Father Frost:
It's time for the Snowflakes to fall asleep.
It's time for them to cover the ground. All children squat down.
Father Frost:
The wind blew harder
Fly away, quickly. The children are running around the room again.
Father Frost:
Spin around more fun
Near his Christmas tree. Children lift snowflakes up and spin around.
Father Frost:
Now let's find out who
Will be able to collect words faster.

Children quickly find a place for themselves to make words: SNOW and WINTER. They stand in front of the Christmas tree facing the guests and show their WORD.
Children who do not have letters on their snowflakes gather in the "Snowdrift". They run up to each other, crouch on one knee and take the hand with the snowflake to the side.
Father Frost: Thank you dear grandchildren. Get these snowflakes for yourself.
Children run away, put a snowflake under their chair to take with them at the end of the holiday.
Note. This game can be carried out only on condition of preliminary learning with children. The surprise moment is that the children do not know which Snowflake (with or without a letter) they will get. Words for compilation are not taken by chance. None of the letters in the word WINTER and SNOW are repeated. In addition, it is immediately clear without a hint which word should be composed. This is a very important point. If you want to take other words for children to compose, you need to pay attention to this.
I wish everyone who wants to use the games developed by me in their work so that they help create real fun and joyful mood at your holiday

Games for children's company

THIS IS ME, THIS IS ME, THIS IS ALL MY FRIENDS

The host, having learned the questions in advance, asks them to the children, who answer with the same phrase. Many more questions can be asked. The main thing is to have fun.

- Who walks to school like a merry gang every day?

- Which of you, say aloud, catches flies at the lesson?
