"Bring the snowball"

At the same time, two participants must run to the Christmas tree. The difficulty is that everyone has a spoon with an artificial snowball in their hand.

To play, prepare a ball rolled out of paper or a wad of medical cotton wool. Place it in the middle of the table. The goal of the game is for players to try to blow it to the floor as quickly as possible.

Decorate the Christmas tree

Divide the children into two teams. Place a box of Christmas tree decorations next to each team. It is advisable that they are not made of breakable glass. Otherwise, in the chaos they will quickly break. Each team of players is provided with two Christmas trees. Players from each team must run from the start to the Christmas tree and hang the toy taken from the box. The game continues until the decorations run out. The fastest team to decorate their tree wins.

Cap

The guys stand in a circle and pass each other a New Year's cap. All this time there is music playing. As soon as the sounds subside, we see who has the headdress in their hands. Whoever gets caught tells Santa Claus a poem about winter or sings a song.

Build a snowman

First of all, you will need plasticine. The idea is that two people sit next to each other and jointly build a snowman. The task is difficult because everyone uses one hand. One person works with his right hand, the other with his left. Together they should get a New Year's snowman. It's especially fun if there are adults in pairs. The game truly connects and develops fine motor skills.

Cinderella's slipper

The guys take off their shoes and put them in a common pile. Everyone is blindfolded with thick cloth so that no one can peek. The shoes are mixed, then the presenter gives the signal to look for your things. A child with his eyes closed should be the first to find his shoes by touch. In the end, everyone will end up with someone else's shoes. The game is quite funny and active.

Cinderella

For the participants, slides of cereals, legumes and nuts are prepared and mixed. Players must remember the fairy tale “Cinderella” and, like it, but with their eyes closed, separate the ingredients.

Game with Santa Claus “Pass the felt boots”

Children stand in a circle. They are given a felt boot, which they pass to a friend to the music. Santa Claus must catch up with his felt boots. You must pass the felt boots quickly, otherwise you may lose. Of course, Santa Claus will give in at first, but it’s better not to yawn.

Collect snowflakes

Tinsel stretches the entire length of the room. Paper snowflakes are attached to it. To make it easier for children, do not try to glue the paper to the tinsel too tightly. They choose two people and blindfold them with a scarf. While the music is playing, the guys must have time to collect all the snowflakes.

Snowballs

White snowballs roll out of paper. For convenience, children are divided into two equal teams. This game can be played in several ways. For example, pour the lumps onto the floor and ask the children to collect them in baskets while playing music. Or another option. Place a basket on the wall and hold a snow basketball competition. Whose team throws the most snowballs is considered the winner of the competition.

Competition "Smeshinka"

A very fun game for little children. Children sit in a circle, and the leader gives each person a new name. For example, a snowman, an icicle, a Christmas tree, a gift, Santa Claus. Then he asks everyone in turn simple questions: “Where do you live?”, “What did you get for your birthday?”, “What is the name of your best friend?”, “What is your favorite dish?” But the trick is that you need to answer the questions with your new names. The same answer is given to every question. It turns out to be a pun, but no one should laugh. Those who disobey leave the circle. The most serious person wins the competition.

Box with a secret

You will need several empty boxes of different sizes. Place the prize in the smallest one. Then place it in another box, and so on several times.

Snowman portrait

To play the game you will need a large sheet of paper. This is a team game. Children with their eyes closed must draw a snowman. Each person draws a separate part: head, nose, buttons, hands, etc. Then the children are untied and see what the young artists have achieved. Instead of a snowman, you can draw a Christmas tree or the Snow Maiden.

Wrap the gift

2-3 children are invited to participate. The assignment requires them to wrap a gift. But instead of holiday packaging, they are given toilet paper. So the guys compete to see who can wrap the surprise more beautifully. The task is not easy, but quite interesting.

Guess the item

The guys put warm gloves on their hands and put their hands in Santa Claus's bag. With their eyes closed, they need to guess by touch which toy they got in the bag. If they guessed right, they take the prize for themselves; if not, they put it back into the bag, and the game continues.

Game "Alphabet greetings"

Children should wish their friends a Happy New Year, but for a reason. The presenter names any letter of the alphabet he likes. And the child must come up with a text for this letter. For example, the letter Z: “Health to you and your loved ones in the new year, happiness, success and a sea of ​​smiles.” To be tricky, the presenter pronounces the letters not in alphabetical order, but out of order. It will be much more fun and spontaneous. Interesting situations occur when the presenter names letters such as Y, ь, Ъ, И.

Prizes and gifts

What are games and competitions without prizes? Let's figure out what is the best gift to give a child for winning a competition.

There is a universal and familiar reward option - sweets. However, you shouldn’t dwell on it, especially since on New Year’s holidays children already get a lot of sweets, which is not very healthy. Here are a few more gift options that Santa Claus can give to the winners of competitions and games:

• small toys. Depending on the age of the children, these can be small puzzles, cars, dolls, books, soft toys (including in the form of a symbol of the next year), mosaics, construction sets in small boxes;
• souvenirs - calendars, pens, cups. Such souvenirs can be ordered in an individual design with a general photo of the group or class;
• New Year's attributes - Christmas tree toys, snowflakes, figurines of Santa Claus, snowman;
• lottery tickets. Just not the ones sold in special stores, but those made specifically for the occasion. These could be just pieces of paper with numbers, according to which prizes will be drawn at the end of the holiday;
• wish. Comic wishes that can be fulfilled right at the holiday. For example: the child who won the competition makes a wish for the second child to sing a New Year's song or recite a poem. Or a wish for Grandfather Frost to light the lights on the tree or dance;

For example:

What is your name?
- Cone.
- What did you have for lunch today?
- Snowflake.
- Who do you look like?
- On an icicle.

Accurate snow thrower

Make a Christmas tree from a large piece of cardboard, cut holes in it with a diameter of 15-20 cm. Distribute paper balls to the participants in the game. From a distance (draw a line) you need to get into the holes on the Christmas tree. The most accurate sniper will receive a prize!

Another game option to compete in accuracy. Make “snowballs” from cotton wool, polystyrene foam, foam rubber or paper. You can buy tennis balls. Place a container (basket, large saucepan, basin, etc.) in the center of the room. Hand out “snowballs” to the players, place everyone around the “basket”, marking a conditional line that cannot be crossed. The task is to get snowballs into the basket.

Dancer in a hat

Music is playing. Everyone is dancing near the Christmas tree. The presenter puts a hat on any dancer, then must show various dance movements, and repeat the rest after him.

Photo proofs

Create an image for each guest. Arrange a casting with photo tests for the role:

• the kindest Santa Claus;
• the most greedy Santa Claus;
• the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
• the sleepiest Snow Maiden;
• the most overfed guest;
• the most cheerful guest;
• the most cunning Baba Yaga;
• the biggest snowflake, etc.

New Year's popcorn

Team game. Cups of popcorn are attached to the players' feet. Secure them with masking tape. You need to run the allotted distance, scattering as little popcorn as possible. Once the team's players finish, the popcorn is poured into the bowl. The team whose bowl is fuller wins.

Magic message

Kids will love the game. A few minutes before you start, prepare a sheet of paper. Using PVA glue, draw a thematic picture or make an inscription. The number of drawings must correspond to the number of players. Invite the children to cast a magic spell and blow a magic snowball (semolina) onto the drawing to bring it to life. A miracle has happened!

Let's make a snowman

There is nothing difficult about making a snowman: three balls, a carrot nose. And you try to make it together! Two participants sit next to each other at the table, you can hug. The left hand of one participant and the right hand of the other must act synchronously, together, as if they were the hands of one person. It's actually difficult. Try pinch off a piece of plasticine, roll a ball between your palms... It is best to form pairs so that adults and children work together.

Who lives under the Christmas tree?

Prepare pictures of different animals (bunny, squirrel, dog, cat, mouse, chicken, etc.). Place the pictures on the table, face down. The player selects a picture and uses gestures to show everyone else what is depicted. Whoever guesses correctly becomes the leader.

Don't lose your socks

An active and fun game, suitable for any age. Everyone present puts colorful socks on their feet, gets down on all fours and tries to take off the socks of others, but at the same time save their own. The one who collects the most socks wins.

Geese and ducks

Participants in the New Year's competition line up one after another so that their hands are on the shoulders of the person in front. It's good if boys alternate with girls. The presenter approaches each of them and whispers in their ear either “duck” or “goose” (there should be more such people) so that the others do not hear it. After this, the presenter explains that if he now says the word “duck”, all the players to whom he said it will press both legs together. If “goose” - one leg. It seems that there is nothing special in this New Year's competition, but as soon as you say the cherished word out loud, you will understand how fun it is.

Attracting the symbol of the year

In advance, you need to draw up several interesting and educational questions regarding the animal that will be a symbol of the coming year. The one who gives the most correct answers will receive a prize in the form, for example, of the animal’s favorite treat.

Now she's smart...

Team game. Each team receives Christmas tree decorations and clothespins. The task is to hang everything on... one of the team members. Let him spread his fingers and shine like a Christmas tree! The presenter keeps track of the time; you can turn on music or the “chime” to count down the time.

Happy child 27.11.2016

Dear readers, New Year and happy holidays are coming soon. I suggest preparing for them in advance! Today on the blog we have made for you a selection of New Year's games for children. What to play with the whole family? What to do with kids of different ages? How to properly organize the playing space? What secrets exist in this matter? We will try to find answers to these and other questions in the article.

The presenter of the column, Anna Kutyavina, will share her thoughts and ideas for games for the New Year for children. I give her the floor.

Hello, dear readers of Irina’s blog! Do you feel what the frosty air outside the window smells like? Snow, Christmas tree, tangerines... Although according to the calendar there is still a whole month until the most anticipated holiday of the year, many of us are already expecting a miracle in our souls. Indeed, on New Year's Eve, not only our children, but also we ourselves often make our most cherished wishes, sincerely believing that they will certainly come true! And from January 1, as in a fairy tale, a new life will begin...

So, are we starting to prepare for the holiday fun? In order not to sit through the last hours of December on the Internet, frantically searching for new ideas for games, let's take important steps towards a joyful New Year right now. As long as there is time, strength, energy and desire. And there are a lot of delicious and unusual ideas for fun! Go?

For your convenience, we have divided all the games into age categories. This will make it easier for you to navigate and choose what is best for your child. There are games near the Christmas tree, games with rhymes, New Year's musical games. A separate category includes games for the whole family - a creative space in which there is a place for everyone: moms and dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and kids!

New Year's games for children under 2 years old

Let's start looking at the fun with the littlest heroes of the holiday. Typically, children begin to actively engage in simple games from the age of 1.5-2 years. For even younger toddlers, we offer only the simplest things: round dances around the Christmas tree in mother’s arms; funny rhymes and songs with parents. We remember that infants should under no circumstances be overloaded with emotions, including positive ones! The “Christmas tree” for such children lasts no more than half an hour, and we certainly look at the child’s condition. If he is tired, we give him time to rest.

It’s great if mothers love to sing, write poems and fairy tales. It's time to fantasize and little by little include the baby in the creative process. The main thing is the emotional involvement of parents, the desire to play and create. Even with one-year-olds, you can make small crafts together, glue together a New Year's toy - boots from two cardboard parts, and then paint them with colored sparkles. The baby just sits in his mother’s arms, and the mother does everything herself using the “hand in hand” method. Then the toy is solemnly hung on the Christmas tree, and each guest is told who made such beauty. And everyone is happy and satisfied.

It’s good for kids to play short New Year’s songs to which they can clap their hands, stomp their feet, and twirl their butts. Remember first of all about safety precautions: if there is a toddler in the house, the Christmas tree should not stand on the floor, especially not hung with glass toys and garlands with lights.

New Year's games and competitions for children from 2 to 6 years old

Now we move on to the most “grateful” age. Preschoolers love games and fun; they are active and sociable. We present to your attention a selection of games for preschoolers:

Game "Guess the gift"

Place many different items and toys in a large bag. Invite your child to determine by touch what came into his hand. If the child guesses the name of the item, he receives a gift.

Game "Owl and animals"

One driver is selected - “owl”. The rest of the children show various animals: birds, mice, butterflies, frogs, bunnies, etc.
The driver gives the command: “Day!” - and all the “animals” run and jump merrily. On the second command: “Night!” - everyone freezes and doesn’t move. The owl flies to “hunt”. Anyone who laughs, moves, or changes position becomes the owl's prey.

Game “It’s boring to sit like this...”

We seat the children on chairs near one wall. The presenter reads the poem:

It's boring, it's boring to sit like this,
Looking at each other.
Isn't it time to go for a run?
And change places?

With these words, the children quickly run to the opposite wall, trying to occupy the free chairs. There are one fewer chairs than players. The one left without a chair is eliminated from the game. The chairs are also removed one by one. The game is repeated until the winner takes the last chair.

Game "Fox and Hares"

Children move according to instructions in the text:

Along the forest lawn
The bunnies ran away.
These are the bunnies
Running bunnies.
(Children-bunnies run around the hall)
The bunnies sat in a circle,
They dig the root with their paw.
These are the bunnies
Running bunnies.
(“The bunnies” sit down and “dig” roots)
Here is a fox running -
Red-haired sister.
Looking for where the bunnies are,
Running bunnies.

(The fox runs between the kids. When the song ends, she catches up with the kids).

Game "Winter Mood"

The presenter reads poems, and the children answer: “true”, “false”.

1. Bloomed amidst the frost
There are large roses on the pine tree.
They are collected in bouquets
And they give it to the Snow Maiden. (Wrong)

2. With Snow Maiden Snowman
I'm used to visiting children.
He loves to listen to poems
And then eat candy. (Right)

3. Santa Claus melts in winter
And under the Christmas tree he gets bored -
What was left of him was a puddle;
On holidays it is not needed at all. (Wrong)

4. In February on New Year's Eve
Good Grandfather is coming,
He has a big bag
Full of noodles. (Wrong)

5. Toadstools do not grow in winter,
But they do roll sleds.
Children are happy with them -
Both girls and boys. (Right)

6. Come to us from hot countries in winter
Miracle butterflies are flying
Snowy warm times
They want to collect nectar. (Wrong)

7. A glorious New Year's holiday
Main cactus for kids -
It's green and prickly
Christmas trees are much cooler. (Wrong)

8. There are snowstorms in January,
Decorating the spruce with snow.
Bunny in his white fur coat
Jumps boldly through the forest. (Right)

Relay game "Fish"

The leader divides the children into 2 teams. Each team receives a small fishing rod with a hook.

Near each team there is a large blue hoop - a “pond”. In the pond there are toy fish with loops at the mouth, according to the number of participants. To the rhythmic music, the captains go to the pond, hook a fish with a fishing rod, and put it in the buckets of their teams. Then the fishing rod is passed on to the next participant. The winner is the team that finishes fishing first.

And what would a holiday be without music? Pick it up in advance, music always creates a festive atmosphere. And children always like such musical games.

Game "Round dance around the Christmas tree"

The simplest and favorite fun for kids! Turn on a funny song: “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter” or “A Christmas tree was born in the forest,” and go ahead!

Game "Snowball in a Spoon"

2 players participate at the same time. They are given a spoonful in their mouth, with a cotton snowball in the spoon. At a signal, children run in different directions around the tree. The winner is the one who comes running first and whose snowball remains in the spoon.

Game “Around the Christmas tree in bags”

2 children play at a time. They stand with their feet in the bags, supporting the top of the bags with their hands. At the signal, players scatter in different directions around the tree. The fastest one wins. Then the next pair plays.

Game “We are funny kittens”

The presenter turns on cheerful music. Children break into pairs and dance.
The presenter says: “We are funny kittens,” and the couples are separated. Each one shows a dancing kitten.

It is also very good to offer children various winter riddles. Children enjoy reciting poems and singing songs to Grandfather Frost. And they love to receive gifts.

Let's watch a video of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden playing various interesting games with children! There are a lot of ideas here.

Games for children 6-10 years old

Children of this age can be offered a wide variety of New Year's games, including musical games, dancing, relay races, and riddles. Various production of crafts and Christmas tree decorations are also great. Imagine and get involved!

Game "New Year's Castle"

Several people play. First, they are invited to carefully study the drawn drawing of the New Year's castle. Then everyone receives a set of plastic cups. The players are blindfolded. They get to work.

The participant who reproduces the drawing most accurately and quickly wins the competition.

Game "Tangerine Football"

Children are divided into 2 teams. Tangerines are laid out on the table. Players use two fingers to try to score a goal for the opposing team.

Game "The most accurate snow shooter"

Participants try to hit a target with snowballs - a target, or a bucket, basket, large box. The most accurate shooter wins the competition.

Game "Winter Wind"

Players sit at the table and try to blow a paper ball, a ball of cotton wool or a paper snowflake onto the floor.

Games near the Christmas tree and music games

Game "Decorate the Christmas tree"

Children are divided into 2 teams. Near each of them, the presenter places a box with unbreakable Christmas tree decorations.

Not far from the teams there are two decorated artificial Christmas trees. Children take turns taking one toy from the box, run to their team’s Christmas tree, hang the toy on it and run back. The game continues until the last player. The team that decorates the Christmas tree first wins.

Game "Cap"

Children stand in a circle. Cheerful music is turned on. Players begin passing the New Year's hat around in a circle. When the music stops, the one who still has the cap in his hands puts it on his head and completes the task of Grandfather Frost.

Family games

When a large family gathers at the holiday table, it's time to play fun family New Year's games. They perfectly unite representatives of different generations, and the connection between loved ones becomes even closer and deeper. Also, such games can be offered to groups of teenagers and adults.

Game “Making a Snowman”

To play, you need softened plasticine. Two players sit next to each other at the table. The left hand of one participant and the right hand of another work as the hands of one person, making a snowman. It is not simple! But it really unites! It's great if each couple has children and adults.

Game "Slipper for Cinderella"

All participants in the game put their shoes in a pile. Players are blindfolded. The presenter mixes the shoes into a pile and commands: “Come on, find your shoe!” Each participant, blindfolded, looks for his own pair of shoes and puts on his shoes. The one who completes the task first is the winner.

Game "Cinderella"

Two participants are required. Everyone is blindfolded and told to dismantle their slide. Peas, beans, nuts, dried rowan, and other ingredients are mixed in slides. Blindfolded participants sort the fruits into groups.

Game "Snow Mission"

You need to take a small ball, or make a “snowball” of cotton wool. The participants of the game stand in a circle. The “snowball” is passed around in a circle.

The presenter says:

We're all rolling a snowball,
We all count to five.
One two three four five -
Sing a song for you!

Whoever has a “snowball” in his hands at the last phrase fulfills this wish. The last phrase changes: “Let’s dance for you!”, “And read poetry for you!”, “Tell you a fairy tale!” and so on.

And here’s another very interesting game for the whole family for the New Year. I suggest watching the video.

New Year's karaoke

What would it be like to celebrate the New Year without songs? Select in advance a list of “cons”, such as:

- "The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree",
- "Three White Horses"
- “The ceiling is icy, the door is creaky,”
- “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter”
- "Five minutes",
- "Blue frost",
- “Song about bears”, etc.
Turn on and have fun singing with the whole family!

Dance game "Locomotive"

Adults and children stand in a column, placing their hands on the waist of the previous dancer. And the locomotive starts moving!

Our games are suitable for organizing a fun space at home, as well as for matinees and corporate events. Some can even be played outside.

Friends, I sincerely hope that you will like our New Year’s games and competitions for children, and you will certainly find something for yourself! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I thank Anya for the wonderful ideas. All that remains is to think through everything to the smallest detail in order to have an interesting time with the children.

My dears, if you want to learn fun, playful songs for the New Year with your children, I invite you to the music blog page. These songs will create exactly the mood; they can be played in the background when you play New Year's games with the children near the Christmas tree, and musical ones.

Merry New Year songsHome first aid kit

It is quite difficult to have a good holiday among school children. They already know everything and can do a lot, so in order to attract their attention and intrigue, you have to try. The competitions presented below will help make the New Year's scenario more meaningful.

I'm still that actor

Each participant in turn receives a card with a certain phrase, which will need to be depicted so that the others can guess what exactly the participant showed. Thus, the participant shows, the rest guess, then change to a new participant until everyone tries themselves in the role of an actor. Example phrases that cards may contain:
- poor student at the board;
- a crying child who wants to eat;
- angry dog;
- Santa Claus brought gifts;
- dance of little ducks;
- the street is slippery, and so on.

And New Year is not New Year

Children sit or stand in a circle. Santa Claus or the presenter announces that now is the time to remember all the necessary things and objects that are elements of the holiday. In a circle, each participant takes turns naming one object. For example, a clock, a TV, a Christmas tree, a garland, Santa Claus, snow, a gift, and so on. A participant who cannot name the object is eliminated. The one who has the last word wins.

Cap

Children stand in a circle and, to the music, they begin to pass the New Year's cap around in a circle. When the music stops, the participant who still has the cap in his hands puts it on his head and completes the task of Santa Claus. Usually, children prepare poems or songs for Grandfather in advance, so there are no overlaps here.

Happy New Year

The guys are divided into teams of 11 people, each participant is given a felt-tip pen or marker. For each team, easels with whatman paper are located at the same distance. Each participant must jump in a bag, like a wolf in the cartoon “Well, Wait a minute!” to the easel and write one letter at a time so that at the end you get the phrase “Happy New Year.” So, at the command “start”, the first participants jump in a bag to the easel and write the letter “C”, then jump back and pass the baton to the second participants, the second write the letter “N”, the third - “O” and so on. The team that finishes the relay faster and writes “Happy New Year” will win.

Remove all the needles from the tree

Two blindfolded participants stand in a circle of fans. 10 clothespins are attached to each participant's clothing. At the leader’s command, the guys must help each other get rid of the clothespins as quickly as possible. Everyone takes part in turn, with clothespins being attached to different places each time.

Find a letter from Santa Claus

For this competition you need to prepare a beautiful letter in an envelope from Santa Claus, where it will be written, for example, “Happy New Year, dear ones.” More high fives and sweets for you. And, if you behave well and also study, I will fulfill your cherished desires. The letter needs to be hidden in one of the offices or in the gym and a small quest must be made, for example, you will find the answer where the current and voltage are, and the team runs to the physics room, and there again a hint on the desk: find something that can attract iron, and the guys are looking for a magnet, there is another note on the magnet: follow the person who is responsible for cleanliness here, and the team runs to the technicians, there they get another hint: look where they won’t let you die of hunger, it’s clear that this is a canteen and so on. To search, the guys can be divided into several teams and whose team can do it faster and find the letter from Santa Claus, that team will win.

Save the Christmas balls

Participants are divided into 2 teams of the same number of people. Each team has a basket with the same number of balls, which are about to be stolen by an evil wizard and need to be saved. All participants stand in a row: two teams - two rows. A basket with balls stands near the first participant, and near the last there is an empty basket into which the team will put the saved balls. At the word “start”, the first participants take one ball each and pass it to the second participants, the second - to the third, the third - to the fourth, and so on until the last. When the last participant puts the ball in the basket, he shouts “there is”, and then the first participant takes the second ball and passes it. The team that saves all the balls the fastest will win.

New Year's race

The guys are divided into 2 teams with an even number of participants. Then each team is divided into their pairs. Each pair is tied with one leg of the participants, that is, the left of one and the right of the second. There are gifts (snowflakes, candies) at the holiday tree. And at the command “start” the guys begin their New Year’s race. The couple runs to the tree, takes the gift and returns to their team, passes the baton to the next couple and ends up at the end. The game continues until all the gifts from the tree have been collected. And the team that is faster and collects more gifts will win.

New Year's song (for kids)

The chairs form a circle, with the seats facing outwards, there should be 1 less of them than the participants. Children stand in a circle and walk in a circle to New Year's songs. When the music stops, children should sit in their chairs. One hero does not have enough chair, the Snow Maiden takes him as her assistant. One chair is removed and the competition continues.

The neighbor's is better!

The already traditional New Year's competition, however, is loved by children, because here you can fool around. So, everyone stands around the tree. The presenter asks: “Do you have ears?” The children answer in chorus: “Yes!” Question again: “Are your ears good?” Children: “Good!” presenter: “What about the neighbor?” And the delighted children scream: “Better!” And he grabs the neighbor on the right and left by the ears. And then the round dance begins. It’s so fashionable to go through all the parts of the body, and the children will rejoice.

New Year's bowling

You will need skittles or plastic bottles, as well as rubber balls. You can divide everyone into teams, you can hold an “individual competition”. Everyone’s task is to knock down as many “icicles” that have grown out of the ground with one blow of a “snow” ball from a certain distance. If the children are older, you can use heavier basketballs, but for preschoolers, regular rubber ones are better.

Deputies of Santa Claus

Each of the children takes turns naming what he asked from Santa Claus, and the rest of the children must give it to their friend, that is, depict this object with the power of arms, legs and possible objects located nearby. It will be interesting how a group of guys will turn themselves into a car, for example, or one of the guys will become a telephone, or a dog, or something or someone else. There will be room for children's imagination to run wild.

Guess the hero

Children are seated in a circle. The presenter invites everyone to take turns continuing the name of the fairy-tale hero, for example Red..., Baba... Snowy... Anyone who cannot find the answer is eliminated from the game. The rest continue to complete the task in a circle. More often than not, the presenter in this competition simply runs out of questions, so be prepared.

Choosing a Christmas tree

Santa Claus invites the children to stand in a circle and asks what kind of Christmas trees there are. If they are tall, then all the children raise their hands up, if they are short, they squat and lower their hands down, if they are wide, the circle is made as large as possible, and for a narrow Christmas tree, they are narrowed. Now Santa Claus walks around and “chooses” the Christmas tree. “Oh, how tall!” or “No, this one is too narrow!” And the children, having heard the parameters, depict “the Christmas tree that Grandfather saw. At the same time, Frost himself tries to confuse the children by making the wrong movements.

Make Santa Claus laugh

Here the kids will need to use all their imagination. The task is this: to make Santa Claus laugh by all available means, for example, a joke, a dance, a funny song, a funny parody, and so on. Whose “trick” makes Santa Claus laugh louder will win a prize.

Collecting snowballs

You need to create several teams. Prepare so many white balls - these will be snowballs. Take the largest garbage bags and cut off their bottom corners so that your feet can fit through. Now one team member climbs into this huge bag, and the rest, at the command of the leader, collect “snowballs” and put them in the bag. The team with the most snow globes wins.

New Year's films are my thing

New Year is a time to watch family-friendly winter comedies and magical stories. Therefore, it’s time for children to remember the names of good movies and share with others. For excitement, you can divide the children into two teams. As a result, each of the participants takes turns naming their favorite New Year's movie. First the member of the first team, then the second, again the first - the second, etc. A participant who does not give an answer is eliminated from the game. The team with the most participants left becomes the winner. If children know very little films, you can give them hints. After all, there are a lot of such films: “Poor Sasha”, “The Irony of Fate”, “Home Alone” all parts, “Curly Sue” and others. As a last resort, you can also use the names of cartoons.

make a wish

This is a romantic entertainment, which will require as many balloons as the number of guests who came to the ball. They say that on New Year's Day all dreams come true. Each invitee is invited to write his most cherished wish on a piece of paper, then these pieces of paper are attached to a thread with which the ball is tied. And so all the guests of the ball go out onto the street or onto the balcony and, at the command of the host, after his fabulous spells, release their balls and secret dreams into the sky. The spectacle is amazing.

New Year's castle

Several people are invited to participate in the competition. They are invited to carefully study the drawing of the New Year's castle. Then everyone is given a set of plastic cups and blindfolded. Next, the “builders” of the castle begin work. Whoever reproduces the drawing faster and more accurately wins the competition.

My number

Gifts for children must be wrapped in the same paper and numbered. Indoors, in visible places, attach Christmas tree tokens with a number written on the back side. Children are invited to find a Christmas tree for themselves. And when Grandfather Frost comes with a bag, he will give numbered gifts to the children.

Protection of carnival costumes

As a rule, children of primary and secondary school age enjoy putting on New Year's costumes. The task of the holiday organizer is to warn everyone in advance that the best costume will be chosen. But in order for your outfit to be among the winners, you need to “protect” it, in other words, show your artistic inclinations and enter into the role of your hero, performing his song, reading his monologue, etc.

Guess who it is?

For this competition you need to prepare various pictures (3 pieces for each item). And the children must guess these objects. For example, the presenter shows 3 pictures: a cobweb, a slipper, a skyscraper. If you think carefully, the child will guess that this is Spider-Man, or, for example, pictures of a beard, sleigh and gifts, it is clear that this is Santa Claus. Whoever guesses first raises his hand and answers. For the correct answer, the participant receives a point, and whoever has the most points wins.

Comic tasks, coupled with bright images and a festive mood will create a positive background for the holiday. Even a simple group game will be exciting if you play with a friendly group. Children will especially enjoy the competitions, the victory of which will bring New Year gifts.

Tiger tail

Participants line up and take the person in front by the shoulders. The first person in line is the head of the tiger. Closing the column is the tail. After the signal, the “tail” strives to catch up with the “head”, which is trying to escape. The “torso” must remain in the coupling. After some time, the children change places.

Merry round dance

An ordinary round dance can be significantly complicated. The leader sets the tone, constantly changing the direction and speed of movement. After several circles, lead the round dance like a snake, moving between pieces of furniture and guests.

Journey

Team play involves the use of blindfolds and pins. Place the skittles in a “snake” pattern in front of the participants of the two teams. Team members join hands and cover the distance blindfolded. All pins must remain upright. The team whose members knock down the fewest pins wins the game.

Magic words

Participants are divided into teams and given a set of letters that make up a certain word. Each team member gets only one letter. In the story that the presenter is reading, there are words from these letters. When such a word is heard, the players with the corresponding letters come forward and line up in the required order. The team that is ahead of its opponents earns a point.

What changed

Visual memory will help you win the game. Each participant carefully examines the toys hanging on the branches of the Christmas tree for a certain time. Then the children leave the room. Several toys are re-hung or new ones are added. When the children return, they need to voice what has changed.

Gift in a circle

Participants stand in a circle face to face. The host gives one of the players a gift and turns on the music. Afterwards the gift moves in a circle. After the music stops, the gift transfer stops. The player who has a gift left is eliminated. At the end of the game, there will be one participant left who will receive this souvenir.
