What competition to come up with for the new year. Christmas table games for adults. Entertainment for an adult company

What I have collected today is suitable for a situation where several families with children gather in the same apartment to celebrate the New Year. You must agree that some part of the evening should be devoted to little guests.

If adults participate, everything will be even more fun! A real family holiday!

What we have?

All children of different ages, but with the same desire to have fun. There will be no invited Santa Claus (or this is a 5-minute formality), but you failed to bring up your own in the team.

There is no place in the apartment for very active games, you did not have time to make complex props for games.

Well? Fits? Read on!

I will give New Year's competitions for children in thematic blocks. Choose the appropriate options, draw up a program taking into account the alternation of mobile and table competitions.

From these scenarios and selections, you can add contests to your program:

And further!

Ready

Add a few competitions for kids to the script and you get a full-fledged program!

WE CONTINUE!!

Lotteries and fortune telling

From experience, both children and adults always like it. Apparently, everyone is interested in looking into the future and testing their luck.

Choice of Father Frost and Snow Maiden

We put little notes in capsules from kinders (you can also just paper bundles in a bag). Pull all the participants of the feast! On one note "Santa Claus", on the other - "Snow Maiden". All the rest can be empty, but it is better to distribute New Year's roles to all guests: snowflakes (there may be 20 of them), Grandmother Winter, The Snow Queen, snowman and so on. If Santa Claus is 2 years old, and the Snow Maiden is 55, you have succeeded :-)!

Now we announce the first New Year's dance of the lucky ones! Do not forget to put on the necessary attributes and take a picture at the Christmas tree.

Success Prediction

Everyone is pleased to know that only success awaits in the future. Therefore, we put in a hat the names of all those present, written on pieces of paper, and voice questions like these:

- Who will be the best student in the new year? (pull paper...)

- Kate! (well, or grandmother Tanya ...)

• Who will make the great discovery?
• Who will find the treasure?
• Who will win the lottery?
• Who will receive the most gifts?
• Who will have the most good news in the new year?
• Who will travel a lot?
• Who is in for the biggest surprise of 2015?
• Who will be the most successful at work (at school)?
• Who will be the most athletic in the new year?
• Who will be the healthiest?
• Who will become famous?
• Who's biggest dream will come true?

What's in the black box...

Now all of us will be psychics. Put a box on a chair in the center of the room (you can use shoes), offer to guess what lies there. Let the guests come up to the box, make movements with their hands, copying the magicians.

We begin to accept one answer from each person present. Children, of course, assume the presence of toys, adults - anything.

You can put a really valuable thing in the box that will suit any gender and age (a cup with the symbol of the year, for example), or you can put a cracker. Let everyone get confetti for their work :-). By the way, now there are crackers from which 100-dollar bills fly out.

New Year's word...

Prepare a bunch of small prizes (sweets, chocolate medals, chewing gum, calendars).

You can spend at the table: Look under your plates! Each of you has one letter! (letters write in advance on the cards)

So. Now we ask you to name "New Year's" words for each of these letters. For every word - PRIZE!

But to the one who puts together the word "Snow Maiden" from the letters, we give something more substantial.

• WITH- snow, icicles, snowflakes, snowballs, candles
• H- new year, outfit
• E– spruce
• G- guests, garland
• At- luck, food, decoration,
• R- practical jokes,
• ABOUT- Olivie
• H- watch
• TO– confetti, calendar, clown, karaoke, costume
• A applause, fragrance, angel, actor

You can name dishes that are on the New Year's table, fairy-tale characters in which guests are dressed up, drinks, games, natural phenomena, and so on.

Who is faster?

Chiming clock

Divide children and adults into 2 teams. We give everyone decorations for the Christmas tree and clothespins. Toys, snowflakes and garlands need to be hung on ... one of the team members. Let him spread his fingers and shine like a Christmas tree!

Yes! You can also hold a garland in your teeth.

Turn on the recording with the chimes (there is on YouTube)! Whoever gets the funniest Christmas tree in 1 minute, while recording is in progress, wins!

Take away a gift

Two members. Two boxes (possibly from shoes) with prizes wrapped in beautiful paper. Tie a ribbon (2 - 2.5 m) to each box, the other end to a pencil.

We put the participants on one line, we give pencils in our hands. 1-2-3! We begin to wind the tape on the pencil. The one who does it faster takes the prize.

You can also joke. Let the child and adult compete. In the "children's" box we put something very light, and in the "adult" - dumbbell... Let it reel! 🙂

We make a snowman ... together!

You need softened plasticine. Two participants sit side by side at the table, you can hug. The left hand of one participant and the right hand of the other must act as if they were the hands of one person.

How difficult it is ... Try to pinch off a piece of plasticine, roll three balls between your palms (I remind you, two people participate), then stick a carrot and eyes.

Let there be adults and children in each pair, it's more fun.

Grab it

Something like a game with chairs, when someone from the gape has nowhere to sit. Only no chairs are needed - only a small table or stool with a tray on which carnival accessories lie - spouts, glasses, wigs, caps. The one who did not get the decoration by the end of the music is out. Naturally, the accessory must not only be grabbed, but also put on. For the second round, we put everything on the stool again, continue until 1 winner is revealed.

Competitions with balls

I won't repeat myself, as I already wrote an article. In general, they can be taken as a basis and spend all children's New Year's contests only with balls.

Throwers, beaters, hits 🙂

Here intelligence is not needed, and it is quite possible to entertain guests from 3 to 103.

From experience, such competitions sometimes turn out to be very reckless. It’s hard to guess what exactly your guests will like, I’ll just list the options, and you decide on the available props and set aside a place for the game.

• if there is any variant of darts (magnetic, balls with Velcro), feel free to assign a prize to the most accurate, interest in the competition will be sure
• skittles or plastic bottles, filled with beans, peas or water, are fun to knock down with a rubber ball at any age. Prize for winning New Year's bowling!
• throwing "snowballs" from a newspaper into a basket (what if someone gets a score of 10 out of 10?). The distance is 2 meters!

We close our eyes!

A standard set of comic contests, but in the New Year it is always a success.

Here are 3 options:

• cut the prize from the tape (it’s more fun if you don’t tie the rope to the cabinets, but give it to two guests in the hands - let them change the height after the player has stopped seeing the target. A blindfolded person will need to work harder, and we’ll make the observers laugh!)

• sticking a plasticine nose to a drawn snowman is also not so easy (we blindfold, unwind, let the participant go to the poster with the picture)

• build a pyramid out of plastic cups. Before blindfolding, we show the "drawing" of the tower - 4 inverted cups at the base, then three, two, one on top. The fastest and most accurate builder wins

A joke concert!

We collect here all the music, circus and dance competitions.

noise orchestra

Great entertainment for a mixed company of adults and children from 2 to 12 years old. .

Poetic horoscope!

We recall what Symbols of the year are in the horoscope, let the guests name their own. If there are 2 dogs or 3 snakes, joint performance is allowed.

Exercise: read Mikhalkov's poem

They say under New Year
Whatever you wish -
Everything will always happen
Everything always comes true

How… rat, pig, dragon, snake, cat, dog, bull, tiger, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster!

neon show

To be honest, it was unexpectedly effective even for me, although I came up with this idea and implemented it. For seven children who, together with adults, celebrated the New Year, I bought neon luminous accessories. Previously, these were only bracelets, now there are glasses, beads, head jewelry, ears and sticks. By the way, I bought earrings for myself.

So ... I gathered the children in a separate room and dressed everyone, from toddlers to teenagers, in these jewelry (bracelets on arms and legs are possible):

Then I turned on "Jingle Bells" in a rock version, turned off the light in the room and started all the glowing children. It was very cool as the kids started jumping and spinning, the neon decorations seemed to fill the entire space. I'll tell you, the light show was no worse than those for which corporate parties pay a lot of money :-). All these accessories are sold in almost all stores with festive tinsel.

Dance "Engine" + family disco

This is an excuse to distract all guests from eating salads. We invite adults and children, build according to height and ask them to put their hands on the waist of the previous dancer. This picture makes me happy. A long, long teenager can stand in front, behind him are all the grandparents, the “last trailer” is a two-year-old baby. The video is great, don't forget to take it.

I must say, the train falls apart quite quickly, but for us it is also good, since the guests are already ready to dance a little. It’s boring to stomp to one long song at a family party, so we turn on these cuts from hits one by one (copy the link): http://muzofon.com/search/music%20 for%20competitions.

New Year's karaoke (choir battle)

As a rule, karaoke sites have a selection of winter songs. If not, drop it into your favorites folder in advance so as not to look for these songs on New Year's Eve:

• “A Christmas tree was born in the forest, it grew in the forest ...”
• "The ceiling is icy, the door is creaky"
• "Three White Horses"
• "The little Christmas tree is cold in winter"
• "Blue frost"
• "Snow is falling"
• "Five minutes":
• "Song about bears"

There are sections of New Year's songs on sites with online karaoke, you don't need to search for each one separately.

Not everyone likes to sing solo, so you will have four nominations: children's choir, female choir, male, mixed.

Obstacle dance

All guests stand on the right side of the room. We need plastic cups again. We build a low fence (2 floors) from them, which guests easily overcome by dancing, moving to the left side of the room.

We build another "floor". Everyone again moves, making dance moves, over the wall. So we build until the participants need to jump. The smartest wins a prize!

If there are no benches, we pull the rope (two people hold it) at a height of 20, 30, 40, 50 cm from the floor, and so on.

Photoprobes

You will laugh twice. During the process itself and after some time, when you get the finished pictures.

We use New Year's accessories, do not skimp on facial expressions and gestures!

For each guest, you come up with a casting with photo tests for the role:

• best Santa Claus
• the most greedy Santa Claus
• the most beautiful Snow Maiden
• the sleepiest Snow Maiden
• the most gorged guest
• the happiest guest
• the cunning Baba Yaga
• the most evil Kashchei
• the strongest hero
• the most capricious princess
• the biggest snowflake
• and so on…

Trivia from Santa Claus

In Europe, this entertainment is called "Secret Santa", but we are patriots, we have our own wonderful grandfather. I came up with such a legend ... Santa Claus was walking through the forest with gifts, caught on a branch, and slightly tore the bag. Large gifts remained in the bag, but small ones fell out. We picked them up and now we will give them to all our guests!

We buy small and pleasant little things in advance and wrap them in opaque wrapping paper. Personally, to speed up the process, I simply put a souvenir in a square piece of paper, shape it into a bag and tie it with a ribbon. I have been shopping for the whole of December - 2-3 things with each shopping cart in the store. By the end of the month, I have a whole bag of kinders, liquid soap in the form of animal figures, candles, frames, calendars, chocolate hares, key chains and lanterns.

Ask "Who is this gift?" You can pull papers out of a hat, but my son likes to appoint the lucky one himself: “Uncle Zhenya!” We give the gift, wait until he demonstrates to everyone the lost trifle from Santa Claus, then the next question “Who is this gift for?” Every time I am surprised with what trepidation the guests are waiting for these gifts ... Even adults :-).

Let's laugh and think

If you have a lot of adults at your party, buy ready-made collections with tasks on cards.

To be honest, I accidentally opened these wonderful task cards at a ridiculous price. We were entertained by a real presenter, but I remembered the box with tasks ... We laughed to the point of hiccups, some words from related languages ​​\u200b\u200bare painfully funny for the Russian ear. Actually, they had to be guessed (options offered).

"Zashkodnik"- 120 double-sided cards. Well, for example, "T-shirt" in translation from Bulgarian is who? Mom, cousin or grandmother? Or what should one imagine if the word in Czech sounds "hammer"? And there are all sorts of stinks, battles and obscurantism (these are all decent words in translation).

What else happens?

• "Bullshit"- a collection of rare words of the Russian language (so rare that even from the proposed options it is difficult to choose the right one to explain the meaning)
• "Why meter"- 120 questions with answers, such as "Why is there a camel on the flag of the Chelyabinsk region?"
• "Citatomer"- 120 cards where you will be asked to complete the quote of a great man
• "Personometer"- 120 name cards. You just need to remember and choose the correct answer: Rabindranath Tagore is WHO?

Sets are available in bookstores in the "Entertainment" section

How to organize a New Year's Eve celebration at home?

More than 75% of Russians celebrate the New Year at home or visiting relatives or friends. The tradition is wonderful, but so that the holiday does not turn into a banal booze in front of the TV and the feeling of a wonderfully spent evening and night remains in your memory, you need not only to invite guests and treat them well, but also to be able to entertain them. Of course, there are few people who are able to plan the celebration of the new year as a serious cultural event, and not everyone is ready to take on the role of toastmaster, and a professional toastmaster in a home holiday will look at least inappropriate.

Celebrating the New Year with your company, family is very fun and easy, if you take a little time to think everything over in advance and do some “homework”. In this article, we offer you several games and competitions that you can organize at home or outdoors.

It is better to come up with contests in advance, taking into account the taste of the invited guests.

So, for example, if a company likes to play cards, then it is not at all necessary to play the already known “nine” or “fool”. You can buy a set of poker chips and master this game loved by many people around the world. To do this, you need to explain the rules to everyone, and then you can arrange an impromptu poker tournament.

It is more convenient, easier and more fun to hold games and contests with simple rules and a minimum of props. The only condition is that there must always be a person who organizes the game and explains its rules to all participants.

What's in the bag?

This game can be played when you have just arrived at the guest house, holiday cottage and unloaded the bags. The facilitator takes a bag of groceries and, without taking out the item, describes it in words: color or shape, what it is for, what history happened to a similar item, and the like. He says it is necessary so that the guessers suffer a little, and do not immediately give the correct answer. The one who guesses receives the item, and with it the task. If it is bread, then cut it. If it’s canned food, then open it, if it’s an apple, then wash it, if it’s coal, put on a barbecue ... And it’s fun, and everyone will be in business.

I am a moon rover

To participate in this game, you can already accept a little, because it requires some courage. The leader (volunteer or chosen one) gets on all fours and, moving on four bones, quite seriously says: “I am one lunar rover, peak-peak I start the reception ...” The one who laughs joins him and becomes moon rover number two. So gradually the whole company becomes moon rovers, and the one who does not laugh wins. The lunar rover's phrase can be expanded: "... going to the lunar base for refueling." In a word, improvisation will only enhance the "ha-ha" effect.

"ABC".

The meaning of this game is as follows: in a circle, starting with the first letter of the alphabet, i.e., from A, and further alphabetically, those sitting at the table say a congratulation phrase. For example: A - “And I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!” And so on ... Sometimes very funny phrases are obtained :).

"Mummy"

Several couples are called. In each pair, one of the participants must build a “mummy” from the other using a roll of toilet paper, come up with a name for it. The winner is the one who receives the most applause from the audience, whose figure will be the most interesting.

A la towns

In the open air, while, for example, barbecues are being prepared, children get under their feet, and adults have not lost coordination, the whole company can play a simplified version of towns. To do this, around the district you need to collect approximately the same firewood and one stick, which will serve as a bat. A circle is drawn on the ground, firewood is laid out in any form (like a pioneer fire or a well), and each participant (having been distracted for a while from the case) knocks out as many firewood from the circle as possible from a certain distance. And it’s not so easy and you won’t do it the first time. If you replace the bat with a ball, you get something a la bowling.

Zoo

The zoo is played only once in a lifetime, then it is no longer interesting. If it so happens that there are no such lucky people in your company or there are few of them, you will have great fun. The host says the name of the animal in everyone's ear. Then everyone stands in a circle and firmly take each other's arms. The host calls the animal. For example: "Which one of you is a crocodile?" And the crocodile should sit down sharply, and non-crocodiles should hold it. Then they call the monkey. The same thing happens. But with the third click, the main thing happens. After the question: “Which of you is a hippopotamus?”, Everyone falls together on the ground, and realizing that they have been cheated, they laugh. Because the trick of this game is that all but one or two participants get the same name of the animal.

"Seventh heaven".

This competition is especially attractive for children. At a certain height, a rope is pulled, on which surprise souvenirs are hung at various levels. The task of each participant is to jump as high as possible and pick up the souvenir they like.

"Bridge".

Test for coordination of movements. Participants alternately need to go in a straight line, never leaving it. The complexity of the task lies in the fact that before starting the path it is necessary to perform a simple movement: Grasping the left ear through the knee with the right hand, make 3 circles around its axis.

Line-ball.

Participants are divided into 2 groups, each of them is given a large canvas, which is used for a collective throw of the ball. One of the subgroups receives the ball. Task: to transfer the ball from one canvas to another without dropping it.

"Reindeer Harnesses".

The task is to divide into pairs to overcome the distance. ½ of the distance, the couple goes around the cones, in the next position - the first player stands on his hands, the second holds his legs. At the last cone, the players change places. Thus, the distance is covered by all participants.

"Snowballs".

Get snowballed into a bucket. Each participant is given 5 attempts. According to the overall team result.

What other outdoor activities can be in nature?

Taking a snow town, riding down a hill and making a snowman

Kindling a fire, festive decoration of a Christmas tree with improvised materials

Sledding, skiing, ice skating

Snowmobiling

Sky lantern launch

Soap bubble generator (in winter they freeze and become patterned like on windows)

Flappers, boom fetti.

Meat on a spit, barbecue

Hot mulled wine in Samovar or in thermoses

Dumplings, pancakes with caviar, pies.

Round dance, dancing around the Christmas tree, dressing up in buffoons, gypsies, national Russian or Altai costumes

Games, competitions and fun make the usual New Year at home unforgettable. Impressions filled with laughter last a long time. Further, professional entertainer Zakhar Sokhatsky shares his recipes for a cheerful homemade New Year:

The first thing you can do for Have a good mood is to radically turn off the TV. As a maximum, listen to the chimes, and after draining the glasses, press the red button on the TV remote control. After all, in recent years, New Year's Eve on television has been a failure, and it is unlikely that anything will change this time.

It is much better to have fun talking to each other, play something, lose your seriousness for one New Year's Eve.

In this sense, the “pajama party” method helps a lot - guests are asked to bring pajamas (or some other purely homely clothes - a T-shirt, shorts) to the holiday and change clothes immediately upon arrival. I assure you, this will make your holiday much more comfortable than a stiff reception in evening dresses. In addition, you don’t have to think all through December what to wear so spectacular for the New Year. Less show-off - more joy.

Puzzle the guests in advance: ask everyone to prepare some kind of surprise. For example, anyone can learn a trick with cards or matches, or something else easy, relaxed, to draw in. But do not demonstrate everything at once, but at some interval. Let this homemade theme run like a red thread through your holiday.

Also ask each guest to bring some kind of wish with them in an envelope, which will go to one of the other guests. All envelopes are mixed, each person who makes a toast takes one of them, reads it out - and undertakes to fulfill the chosen one. Wishes can be calculated both for immediate fulfillment (from the banal “sing a song about a Christmas tree” to an exotic wish to drink, for example, a glass of cognac, vodka, champagne and coffee in one gulp), and for the entire current year (to marry, give birth, become deputy of the regional duma, etc.). In a year, you will conduct a debriefing and see who really knows how to keep their word.

Immediately after midnight, everyone together for a short time to go out into the yard - just shout, relieve the tension that has accumulated over the year. This is what Japanese workaholics do, and this simple method is quite effective. Having thrown off the negative of the last year in this way, we return to the heat, to the already set table. By the way, what's on the table? A good new year is in the Russian folk style or with classic "Soviet traditions", but if this is already "pall", the "ethnic" approach will help to make the New Year's table more original. Prepare dishes, for example, only from Hungarian, Argentinean or other little-known cuisines. It is not difficult to do this - there are a lot of culinary guides now. Preparing such a table will not only bring more pleasure than routine salads, but will also significantly expand the "arsenal" of the hostess for the future. For guests, the "ethnic table" will give completely new sensations, which is fully consistent with the very idea of ​​New Year's Eve. If the company is large and the organization of the table requires joint participation, you can agree in advance that each guest or family will prepare some kind of “ethnic” dish, a national drink, the serving of which may be accompanied by some national traditions.

Then I can offer to play "Yudashkin". Guests are divided into two teams. In both teams, they choose a “model” - a girl, preferably of a slender build, so that there is more flight for fantasy. Each team dresses the girl in the most funny way in 3-4 minutes, puts everything on her, from fur coats to nesting dolls. Dressed, appreciated, photographed - and now we undress the girl, and for a while. Without fanaticism, to the original state.

While dressing the girl, the guests have already got to know the house where everything is happening – it's time to play “tax inspector”. We choose two leaders who take turns ordering the participants to bring some items that are definitely in the apartment. Usually children take part in the game with pleasure. The team that will lay down more items at the feet of a stern taxman wins.

No matter how well the holiday goes, try sometimes to remember the inevitability of the morning. Morning, most likely, will come on the evening of January 1. If the guests have not left before going to bed, you can cheer them up a little, for example, agree in advance: whoever drank the most will organize outdoor exercises for everyone. Harsh, but invigorating, brings back to life. You can lay some other intrigue in the evening: for example, a social load (going to the store) on the least drunk - so that no one wants to be this "lucky one". It is advisable to lay the program for the "morning" in advance. But whether you can fulfill it is up to you.

Happy New Year to you!

Fun around the Christmas tree, decorated with tinsel, garlands and toys - such a holiday, perhaps, will delight any child. Games and competitions will make the celebration even more interesting. Relax.by knows what competitions and fun to arrange for children to make the holiday unforgettable.

New Year's competitions for preschool children

Round dance around the Christmas tree
To interest the youngest players, you need to try: kids lose interest very quickly if the activity does not catch them. In such a situation, round dances around the Christmas tree will save. This is a win-win option that kids of all ages love. Usually round dances are led to the song "It's cold in the winter for a little Christmas tree" or "A Christmas tree was born in the forest."

The game "What are Christmas trees?"
The host (the Snow Maiden or Santa Claus can act in his role) says:
- Look how elegant our Christmas tree is: all in beautiful toys and garlands. Guys, do you know where Christmas trees grow? Of course, in the forest! Christmas trees are different: wide and thin, high and low.
Next, the facilitator should explain the rules of the game:
- Guys, stand in a circle and take each other's hands, and I will say what Christmas trees are like. If I say: “High”, you should raise your hands up, and if you hear: “Low”, you need to sit down and lower your hands. If I mention wide Christmas trees, you need to make the circle wider. And if I say: "Thin", you should make a circle already. Does everyone understand? One, two, three, start!

Music game
(to the motive of the song "Kind Beetle" from the fairy tale film "Cinderella")
1. Stand up, children, stand in a circle, stand in a circle, stand in a circle! Clap your hands, do not spare your hands! Jump like bunnies: jump and jump, jump and jump! Now stomp, not sparing your feet!
2. We will take our hands as soon as possible, more fun and raise our hands up, jump above all! We put our hands down, stomp with our right foot, we stomp with our left foot and turn our heads!
The game is repeated 2 more times.

Game "Dress up the Christmas tree"
Children are divided into two teams. Each has a box with Christmas decorations (preferably unbreakable). The essence of the game is that players must dress up an artificial Christmas tree, which stands at a distance from the teams. The child must take the toy from the box, run to the Christmas tree, hang the toy on it and return to his team. And so on until the last player. The team whose tree is decorated first wins.

Game "Cat and Mouse"
Three players from the team are dressed up in costumes of cats and handed to them on a stick, to which a long rope is tied. A fake mouse is attached to the opposite end of the rope. The players, accompanied by cheerful music, wind the rope around the stick, and gradually the mouse approaches. The most agile cat wins, having managed to "catch" the mouse faster than the others.

Games for younger students aged 6–10

Game "Christmas chants"
The host says quatrains, and the children shout out the words of each final line in unison.

Game "Who's next?"
Skill competition. Preliminarily hang a winter jacket with turned-out sleeves on the backs of two chairs, and put a fur hat, a scarf and a pair of mittens on the seats. During the competition, players must turn the sleeves of their jackets to cheerful music, then put them on and the rest of the winter equipment (hat, scarf and mittens). The prize will be awarded to the first person to take a seat in their chair and shout "Happy New Year!"

New Year's contest "Mask, I know you!"
From all the guys you need to choose only one player. The host puts on a mask for him. Moreover, the player should not see whose mask he is wearing. The rest see what kind of hero this is. The masked player must guess who is on the mask. He asks other children questions and gets hints from them. Questions can only be answered with “yes” or “no”. The winner is given a mask as a prize.

Competition "Tinsel"
Competition-competition for two teams. As a prop, the host gives each child a tinsel. New Year's song sounds, for example Jingle Bells. To the music in each team, the first participant ties his tinsel in a knot on the hand of the second participant, then the second - on the hand of the third, and so on. The last player runs to the first and ties a tinsel to him - it turns out a circle. The winner is the team whose members completed the task before the rivals and raised their hands with tied tinsel.

The game "Doctor Aibolit"
Another team game. This time the players line up. Dr. Aibolit wants to know: did anyone have a fever during the New Year holiday? fairy tale hero puts a large cardboard thermometer under the armpits of the first participants of both teams. At this time, cheerful music sounds. The second players must take the thermometer and put it on themselves, then the third players take the thermometer from them and so on until the last child in the line. In the same way, the thermometer moves in reverse order: from the last players to the first. The team wins, the first player of which returns the thermometer to Dr. Aibolit faster.

Competition "Christmas tree toy"
In front of two players, the facilitator places a prize wrapped in bright wrapping paper on a chair and says the following text:
"In the New Year's hour, friends,
You can't ignore it!
Don't skip the number three
Take the prize, do not yawn!

The Christmas tree welcomed the guests.
Five children came first
In order not to be bored on a holiday,
Everyone began to count on it:
Two snowflakes, six crackers,
Eight gnomes and parsley,
Seven gilded nuts
Among twisted tinsel,
Ten cones counted
And then they got tired of counting.
Three girls came running ... "
If the players missed the prize, the presenter takes it and says: “Where were your ears?” In the event that one of the players turns out to be attentive, the host concludes: “Here are attentive ears!”

The game "Christmas shifters"
Santa Claus says phrases, and the children must answer “yes” or “no” in unison, regardless of the rhyme.

Did you guys come here to have fun?
Tell me a secret: were you waiting for Grandpa?
Frost, cold will be able to scare you?
Are you sometimes ready to dance by the Christmas tree?
A holiday is nonsense, will we get bored better?
Santa Claus brought sweets, will you eat them?
Are you always ready to play with the Snow Maiden?
Shall we push everyone around without difficulty?
Grandfather never melts. Do you believe in this?
Do you need to sing a couplet in a round dance near the Christmas tree?

Competition "Laugh Nesmeyanu"
For the competition, you must prepare the details in advance: funny masks, false noses, ears.
Princess Nesmeyana knows where the Snow Maiden is hidden, but she cannot reveal the secret to the children, as she constantly cries. The task of the contestants is to make her laugh with cheerful movements and dances. To complement the bright image, the guys can use funny props.

For children from 10 years old

Competition "New Year's costume"
For this competition you will need props: paper (enough big size- at least A4), tape, pins, scissors and glue.
For a certain time (say, 10 minutes) you need to come up with and make new Year costume. The task is complicated by the fact that it is necessary to have time not only to make an outfit, but also to present it to the public, to tell what exactly it means and what it serves for (for example, this is an evening outfit or a fancy dress). The jury evaluates the result with applause. The team that earns the loudest and longest standing ovation wins.

Competition "Ball with a surprise"
On sheets of paper you need to write comic New Year's tasks, put notes in balloons, and then inflate them. Each participant should be given a ball with a task. It must be burst without the help of hands. When the participant copes with this, he will have to complete a written task (for example, sing a song, dance the dance of the little swans, etc.). Whoever makes it the most funny wins.

Competition "New Year's chain"
For this competition, A4 sheets, glue stick and scissors should be prepared. Two teams must take part. For a certain time (5-7 minutes), participants must cut strips (3 cm wide and 12 cm long), and then connect them into a New Year's chain. The team that makes the longest chain wins.

• 01 Remember that children switch their attention very quickly. Therefore, contests should not be made too long.
• 02 Do not hold several contests at once. Dilute them with a dance program or concert numbers.
• 03 Be sure to reward and encourage the winners.

Interesting contests help diversify New Year's Eve, make it festive and fun. We offer entertainment options suitable for adults, children and youth.

For the whole family

Some New Year's competitions are suitable for guests of different age categories. Their goal is to bring family and friends together for a common fun activity.

We remember pleasant events

Prepare a symbolic relay baton - any thing to pass it to each other.

The presenter with a "wand" in his hands, talks about the best event that took place in the outgoing year, and passes the baton to the participants of the evening. Unable to remember the joyful event, he is awarded the "Fortune's Favorite - 2019" award.

The festive relay race is a spiritual competition that allows you to defuse an awkward situation and spend the outgoing year with gratitude.

Game "Pig"

Cheerful fun, suitable for a noisy company. At the beginning of the competition, the host, in secret, calls the participants an animal. Then the guests stand in a circle and hold hands.

Now the host says the names of the animals aloud. The one whose animal has been named quickly sits down. Neighbors, right and left, are trying to stop him.

When the names of the animals are spoken, the facilitator declares: "We have practiced - now we are playing at full strength" and again secretly gives the names of the animals to the players. True, now it is one for all - a piglet.

As a result, the guests, having heard the cherished word, at the same time sit down sharply and cannot stand on their feet. Entertainment perfectly improves mood and is suitable for the middle of a festive evening.

Get a wish

The competition will require advance preparation. Wishes for guests are written in advance on paper and placed in balloons. Separately, the names of parts of the human body (chin, foot, jaw, etc.) are indicated on the leaves and put notes in a hat.

At the party, those gathered take the balloons they like with a wish. To read the note, you will have to burst the ball, using the part of the body indicated in the sticker pulled out of his headgear.

Charging Santa Claus

Game for a large number of players. Santa Claus or a guest in a suit is doing exercises. The rules are simple: “Guests must repeat the movements, but vice versa. If the "grandfather" leans to the right, the rest - to the left, etc. You can show an example, along with the leader.

The one who makes only one wrong move is out. The pace is gradually getting faster and Santa Claus is trying to confuse the participants.

As a result, places are awarded to players, and awards are given with funny titles.

Best Actor

The competition is a great opportunity for guests to show their acting skills by playing the symbol of the coming year - a pig. Everyone has their own image - “a sad little pig”, “mysterious Khavronya”, “annoyed pig”, etc. Guests are given pig ears and snouts prepared in advance. Part of the invited gets an honorable mission - to judge the "actors", as a jury.

Having started the competition, the guests communicate with each other in the manner they have been given. After the appointed time, the "jury members" determine the winner by secret ballot. The most artistic guest, in a solemn atmosphere, receives an Oscar.

Entertainment for children

Babies on new year holiday should be fun too. Offer them mobile and fun contests.

Snowball game

The participants are divided into two teams. They make snowballs from old newspapers and compete to see who is the most accurate. Members of both teams are placed one after the other. On the floor with colored tape indicate where you can not step.

Baskets are set behind the line, where participants will throw “snow shells”. Children take turns throwing snowballs, and the team with the most hits wins.

Competition "balls"

In the center of the hall, especially for the competition, they put a table. A light ball is placed in the middle of it. At different ends of the table there are participants - two people. They need to blow on the ball, moving it towards the opponent.

The contest lasts until the goal is reached. The winner receives an honorary prize. The competition can also be a team competition, where several guys participate, sending balls to the opponent in turn.

We decorate the Christmas tree

For the competition, prepare a couple of small real or artificial Christmas trees. There is an option, take two kids and make them Christmas trees.

Participants are divided into two groups and take plastic christmas toys on ropes. The goal is to decorate the "Christmas trees" with the largest number of New Year's attributes in 2 minutes.

Complicating the task, the "Christmas trees" are set a couple of meters from the participants. Children one after another run up to the "tree" to hang decorations on it.

New Year's tinsel

Two teams take part in the competition. They stand opposite each other, and each of the guys is given a tinsel in their hands.

The competition is held under a cheerful festive song. The first member of the team wraps the hand of the child following him with tinsel. And so - in a chain.

The task of the last player is to run up to the first and tie his hand with his tinsel. When everything is done, the team raises their hands up. The children who complete the task first are recognized as winners and receive prizes.

Table contests

For those who want to have fun without leaving the New Year's table, many contests have also been invented. They are able to provide the audience with a great mood, without requiring them to waste their energy.

Remembering the alphabet

Alphabet is a competition suitable for that part of the party when the invitees have had time to try treats and festive drinks and are ready to take an active part in the event. Glasses filled with champagne and the positive attitude of the participants will come in handy.

The host complains that during the party he forgot the alphabet. Dear guests are able to help remember the letters. They take turns pronouncing festive toasts.

The first word starts with the letter "A". The second makes a speech with "B", and so on. For example:

• “Why don’t we raise our glasses to the happiness of the audience?”
• “Be happy in the coming 2019!”,
• “I wish everyone good health, good luck and more money.”

The winner is the participant who uttered the most interesting and sincere wish.

Concert from a hat

For the competition, write in advance on the notebooks the words of the New Year theme (blizzard, snowman, Santa Claus, ice floe, etc.). These pieces of paper are folded into a "magic" hat of Santa Claus.

Everyone takes out a note and sings a song with the word he got. Good idea– include an arrangement found on the Web.

Gift bag

For the competition, you will need a package filled with holiday favors. The host addresses the person sitting to his right: “I was going to give it for a long time, but I couldn’t ...”. And he calls a comic reason - “he was abducted by aliens”, “greed interfered”, etc.

After that, without peeping, he takes out a present from the package and hands it over. The person who received the item takes the package in his hands and says similar words to the neighbor on the right. The funnier the reason that prevented you from giving a gift earlier, the better.

For adults

Adult entertainment at a New Year's Eve party often involves the use of alcohol. But for those who prefer to have fun without alcohol, many wonderful contests have been invented.

Drank - eat

Those invited are given two small sheets of paper. The word “drink” is written on the first one, and “eat” is written on the second. Each guest writes a phrase, for example - “Drink from a vase”, “eat with pepper”. After the note, they hide it in two caps and take it out without looking, in turn.

Guess who?

New Year's cocktail

One of the guests is blindfolded with a thick cloth. Then, another contestant prepares a drink from what is on the festive table. The potion is given to a blindfolded guest to drink. His task is to guess what his festive cocktail is made of.

The audience fixes how many ingredients are guessed. "Masha - 4 out of 7", etc. The winner is the guest who guessed the largest number of components.

New Year's lottery

Will please those gathered at the festive table and a win-win lottery. Prepare in advance the number of gifts corresponding to the number of invitees. Better yet, two or three more.

You will also need lottery tickets for the competition. Interesting idea- take a picture with a pig from the Web, print copies and draw serial numbers on them. Give them to the guests of the holiday at the entrance.

There is another option - to invite everyone to the center of the room and give a task - to perform a New Year's song, read a poem, remember an interesting anecdote. The reward is the opportunity to put your hand in a box of lottery tickets and get one.

Any interesting souvenir is suitable as a prize - gingerbread cookies, chocolate in a festive wrapper, a figurine of the symbol of the year. It would be nice to prepare a small funny poem for the prize. For example: "You will be glad to receive gifts of fate - take a bar of chocolate."

Entertainment for schoolchildren

To prepare interesting competitions is real for the children of the most different ages. Both first-graders and high school students will be delighted with the opportunity to have fun.

Don't miss the spot

The ageless competition is a game with chairs, interesting for both children and adults.

During the competition, to the festive tune, schoolchildren run around them. After the music stops playing, they should immediately take their seats. The child was left without a chair - his participation in the competition ends.

Leap into the future

The tradition of jumping from a chair on New Year's Eve came from Germany. According to her, the further the guest jumps, the better he will live in the New Year. True, you should be careful, so some refuse the attribute in the form of a chair. The winner is the guest who jumped the farthest.

Shoulder to shoulder

Participants are divided into two people. A festive tune is played and the children dance and jump to it. As a result, the couples are separated, the participants "mix with each other."

The music stops, and the host of the competition says: “shoulder to shoulder!”. On a signal, the children from the pairs run up to each other and touch their shoulders. Whoever found a partner last - stops participating in the competition. Then the facilitator sets another task: "nose to nose", "back to back, etc."

The competition is held in a different way. You will need New Year's props - carved snowflakes, Christmas trees, candies in a festive wrapper, etc. Lay them out in the room where you celebrate the holiday. The host gives a signal: “Christmas tree to Christmas tree”, and the children take a Christmas tree and run up to their pair.

Entertainment for young people

Festive New Year contests are also loved by young people. A few ideas on how to have fun for people of this age category are below.

defuse the Christmas tree

Take two guests and blindfold them. Their task is to remove toys and sweets from the Christmas trees. The New Year tree will be other invitees, placed one after another. New Year's attributes are hung on them, using ordinary clothespins.

Volunteers are given boxes in their hands and, blindfolded, are led from different sides to an impromptu Christmas tree. At the command of the leader, they begin to discharge the Christmas trees and put toys with sweets in a box.

When the guests meet each other, the competition is over. The winner is the participant who has collected more attributes of the holiday.

Flappers for girls

Male guests, at the very beginning of the evening, are given crackers in their hands. When the guests have gathered, the rules of the competition are announced. Guys on New Year's Eve, one at a time, blow up "shells". And the task of the girls is to immediately jump into the arms of a young man standing nearby.

The girl, who forgot to jump on her hands or was confused, performs the task of the celebrants.

Pass the tangerine

For the competition, the participants are divided into two groups and stand one after the other. The leader's task is to prepare in advance two large cups of washed tangerines and two more empty ones. The guest standing first must grab the tangerine with his teeth and hand it over to another participant without the help of hands. He also takes it with his teeth and gives it further.

The one who stands last lowers the fruit into the plate. The winners are the members of the team that scored more tangerines within the agreed time.

Contests for corporate parties

At work, New Year's entertainment is also both table and mobile.

We decorate the Christmas tree

The guests are given the task of dressing up the Christmas tree blindfolded. The Christmas tree must be found. The presenter of the competition puts those who wish in the center of the room and gives them a toy in their hands. They close their eyes with a bandage and rotate several times.

The man goes forward all the way. When he meets an object or another participant on the way, he hangs a decoration on this "Christmas tree".

The winner is the one who managed to hang the toy on a real Christmas tree. The prize for the second place is given to the player who has found the most original "tree" for his decoration.

Dancing dancing

Prepare several musical selections of different topics in advance. At the beginning of the competition, participants are divided into pairs. Each moves to the music, but it does not match the nature of the dance.

For example, the host says: "Couple number one is dancing slow." And it sounds - "Lezginka". It will be original if you give the participants a task to dance in the old forgotten genres - waltz, paso doble.

Solemn oath

Guests are given sheets of paper where they must write three things that are mandatory for them to implement in the new year - skydive, go to the mountains, sign up for a gym, etc.

Notes are folded into a headdress and mixed. Participants randomly pull out notes with promises and read aloud what they got. Ask the person who read the promise to guess who wrote it.

funny entertainment

There are competitions where each of the guests will have to show resourcefulness and artistry. Their goal is to amuse guests and rejoice themselves.

Playing Crocodile

For the competition, prepare stickers in advance, where you write the names of famous paintings about the New Year and Christmas - "Magicians", "Home Alone", "Irony of Fate", etc.

One of the participants takes out any sticker and pantomime shows its plot. The task of the rest is to understand what picture he has in mind. The one who guessed first also takes out a piece of paper and depicts the film. Based on the results of the competition, the presenter awards the most artistic player an award.

"The coolest"

The game involves men - about five people. The host puts boiled eggs in the cup, according to the number of heroes, and says that one of them is raw. Participants take turns hitting them on the forehead.

The competition turns out to be exciting, and gradually the tension between the guests grows. No one wants to get dirty in a raw egg.

Frozen T-shirt

For the competition, prepare three voluminous men's T-shirts. They need to be rolled up and left in the freezer. Select three male participants for the evening. They are faced with a difficult task - to put on T-shirts for themselves. The one who completes it first wins.

Read lips

Two contestants put on headphones, where quite loud music plays. Players must not hear each other. One receives cards with questions. For example: “How much champagne do you need to be happy?”, “What do you spread red caviar on?”.

The task of the second is to understand what he is being asked and answer. Then the cards with the questions are with others. The winner is the participant who answered the maximum number of questions.

Quiet Entertainment

Moving, noisy competitions are not to everyone's liking. If guests prefer to celebrate the New Year in a relaxed atmosphere, prepare contests that suit their temperament.

New Year fortune telling

The next fun will not require guests to leave the table. You will need small sheets of paper and pens. On the stickers, the audience write a positive prediction. They are folded and placed in a magic bag.

Then the host distributes new leaves to the guests, where they have to write when the wish is fulfilled. For example: “Very soon everything will come true” or “wait a couple of years.” They are placed in the second bag.

One after another, those gathered pull out stickers from both bags and read aloud the prediction they got. The more original the forecasts, the better.

Christmas story

Another original entertainment is making up a New Year's story. For him, guests are given 10-12 stickers, where they will write various words. Half of them should be related to the New Year celebrations, and the other - at their discretion. After the stickers are placed in a box and mixed.

The first guest takes out two or three leaves. He pronounces the words: "Somehow on New Year's Eve ...". And he comes up with the beginning of the story, using the words that come across.

The second guest also pulls out some stickers. He continues the story, supplementing it with the words that fell to him. A fairy tale is a very interesting and exciting task, to which guests will not remain indifferent.

New Year news

Prepare cards for the game by writing on them 5 words that are far from each other in meaning. For example: "Snow Maiden, bus, parrot, castle, subway." Guests, in turn, take out a card at random. The task is to compose a sensation close in theme to the New Year.

Each word from the card is involved. And according to the results of the competition, a present is given for the most interesting news, and a toast is made for pleasant events in the coming year.

Summary

So that guests invited to new year party, do not get bored, invite them to participate in competitions. There will be suitable entertainment for both adults and children.

Stories from our readers

Everyone's favorite New Year's holiday is approaching. One of the important components of a fun and exciting holiday are active games and original contests, which do not allow anyone to stand aside and unite all participants in the performance. Competitions can be completely different - gaming, for ingenuity, for quick wit, for sleight of hand with the use of light fraud, for those who are especially relaxed, there are erotic competitions. To make the meeting of the New Year memorable for a long time, and in the photographs you recall the enthusiasm of that evening and the smiles of your friends, spend them.
The choice depends only on the desires and capabilities of the participants and organizers of the holiday, on their ability to experiment and not be afraid to come up with something new and unusual. But remember: it is always necessary to remember that not all contests are suitable for all people.

There you are several contests for the new year:
1. Two teams are formed: one for men, the other for women. On a signal, the players of each team begin to take off their clothes (whatever they want) and lay them out in a line. Each team has its own line. The team with the longest clothing line wins.

2. The most favorite delicacy of the Snow Maiden is ice cream - therefore, a competition is announced for the name of the ice cream. Everyone takes turns calling the varieties of ice cream, and whoever thinks for more than five seconds loses.

3. Similarly, a contest of New Year's wishes is held. Whoever thinks for more than five seconds loses.

4. A wallpaper path is laid on the floor. Women are invited to spread their legs wide and walk along the "brook" without getting their feet wet. After the first attempt, it is proposed to repeat the "walk along the stream", but with a blindfold. All other future participants in the game should not see how it is played. Having passed the brook blindfolded, and at the end of the path, removing the blindfold from her eyes, the woman discovers that a man is lying on the brook, face up (the man is laid on the wallpaper after the task has been completed, but the blindfold has not yet been removed from the participant's eyes). The woman is embarrassed. The second contestant is invited, and when everything is repeated again, the first contestant laughs heartily. And then the third, fourth ... Everyone has fun!

5. It was my balloon!!!
The competition requires 2 participants. They are given one inflatable New Year's ball, which the presenter ties to the left leg of each participant. At the command of the leader, the participants try to crush the opponent's ball with their right foot. It is recommended to play in indoor shoes or sneakers (participants in tarpaulin boots or stilettos are not allowed to the competition). The winner is the one who quickly "bursts" the opponent's ball with his foot.

6. Each lady holds a ribbon twisted into a ball in her right hand. The man takes the tip of the ribbon with his lips and, without touching his hands, wraps the ribbon around the lady. The winner is the one with the best outfit, or the one who completes the task faster.

7. Dance on the leader's command
A dance is chosen, during which everyone is invited to break into pairs.
Leader commands: left shoulder to left shoulder, right shoulder to right shoulder, left cheek to left cheek, right cheek to right cheek, left ear to left ear, right ear to right ear, right foot to right foot, left foot to left foot forehead to forehead, back to back, nose to nose. The pair that performed the commands best of all wins.

8. Dances
A simple landscape sheet of paper is taken. The host puts it on the floor, invites a couple and tells them to dance on it while the song is playing.
The couple must never step on the floor outside the sheet of paper. If someone steps in, then the couple loses. Alternatively, if they step in, they take off some thing from themselves, but in no case any coins and similar small things. If the couple danced without ever stepping over the edge of the sheet, then they win.

9.Drag the napkin
For the competition, you need a napkin and a few straws for a cocktail.
The napkin is torn into several pieces. On each piece we write the name of the prize. Between the opponents on the table we put a piece of napkin with the inscription down.
On command "Start!" opponents must pull the napkin towards themselves with the help of a cocktail tube.
The second version of the game - a comic task is written on a napkin. In this case, the loser must complete this task.

10. Zoo (for 8 or more people)
The players stand in a circle. The facilitator whispers to each role: "behemoth" or "eagle". Everyone hugs each other by the shoulders. When the host says loudly to everyone "eagle!", Then the "eagles" draw in both legs. When "behemoth!", then they tighten their legs. There will be even more fun if suddenly there is a clear minority of certain "animals" in a large company.

11. Associations (for 4 or more people)
The host leaves the room, and the rest decide who will be guessed. Then the host tries to guess the person, according to his abstract description. The facilitator asks leading questions. For example: "If this person were ... a cloud (tree, monkey, hanger, Snow Maiden), then what would he look like (run, fly, play hockey?)". You need to compare and guess. A very fun game.

12. The competition is quite funny, it can be held in any conditions, but it is very desirable to have a camera and an approximately equal number of girls / boys.
The bottom line is this - 2 sets of names of body parts are written on pieces of paper - well, a brush, a stomach, a forehead .... then 2 pairs are pulled out in pairs. The task is to touch the indicated parts of the body. and in the process ... it turns out just a visual aid to the "Kama Sutra" here a camera is simply necessary !!! and the winner is the couple that managed to touch the most points!!! This competition will be very pleasant if it is held in the youth company of close friends.

13. Christmas tree
For the game you need: a stool or a chair - 1 piece, a girl - 1 piece, clothespins - a lot.

Clothespins are fastened on the girl’s dress, the girl is placed on a stool, 2 young people are selected from the company (you can generally split into 2 teams), who remove clothespins from her blindfolded.
The one who removes the last clothespin, or the one who has more clothespins, removes the girl from the chair and kisses her as many times as he has clothespins. The game can be played in reverse, i.e. a guy stands on a stool.

Let's think about how best to organize competitions, if the company gathered married couples.
Let's say that this entertainment is great to organize from about 21 o'clock in order to celebrate the New Year in an enthusiastic mood. For example, each describes the most significant event in the outgoing year and the cherished dream that should come true in the coming year. If you came to visit with a child, and the child still does not know how to write, he can draw. We put all the leaves in a box (we decorate everything together beautifully with snowflakes, pictures, tinsel, etc.). Seal with tape. We will open exactly in a year and fill it with new content.

Then there is the costume contest. In advance, you need to buy masks, noses, glasses, jewelry in the wholesale market, pick up old dresses, skirts, scarves, etc. We draw lots to decide which costume to prepare. We have listed - the Snow Maiden, the clown, the Indian.

The next competition is "frosty breath". There are three snowflakes on the table. Participants blow on them to make them fall off the table. When all the snowflakes fall, announce that the winner is the one whose snowflake fell last (so he froze it to the table).

Next is the culinary competition. When all the participants are dressed in the costumes they made (so as not to soil the festive clothes), they are given plates and given the task to make an original salad from the treats on the table). And then, blindfolded, you need to feed your dish to another participant. The one who feeds the other most accurately wins.

And the last contest. There are small pieces of paper in the hat, on which one word is written (tree, icicle, Santa Claus, frost, etc.) Everyone takes turns taking notes from the hat and sings a song - always New Year's or winter, in which there is a word written on his leaf!
