New Year competitions: for adults, for children, for a fun company. New Year's competitions for children and schoolchildren

Funny, amusing competitions will allow you to have a good rest and have fun at the New Year's party. For the presenters, who are tasked with organizing the entertainment part, we offer an original selection of games, competitions and quizzes for the scenario of a festive corporate party!

To New Year's celebration was more successful, we have made for you a selection of the most interesting competitions and fun.

Table

To begin with, we propose to include in the program New Year's corporate party At work there are cool competitions at the table.

What will Santa Claus give?

Attributes: small pieces of paper, pens (or pencils).

Before sitting down to the festive table, guests receive a small piece of paper and write down what gift they would like to wish for themselves in the new year. This could be, for example, new flat, car, dog, travel, money, lover...

The leaves are rolled up into a tube and placed in a beautiful box, a hat... At some point in the evening, the host asks everyone to pull out a random piece of paper and find out what good Santa Claus has prepared for him for the next year. Everyone has different desires, so it will be fun! And your wish will come true if you save the piece of paper until the next holiday, and then tell about what came true.

You can attach the leaves with threads to a rope/fishing line and then, as you did in childhood, blindfolded and using scissors, cut off your wish. Another variation is to tie notes to balloons and hand them out to those present.

I want, I want, I want!... Branded want

Another game about wishes. But this time without attributes.

5-7 volunteers are called. They take turns naming their wish for next year. You need to speak quickly, without holding up the line! Stopping for more than 5 seconds means the player is eliminated. We play until we win - until the last player! (Small prize possible).

Let's raise a glass! New Year's toasts

When guests get bored in the midst of a feast, invite them not just to fill their glasses, but to make a toast or congratulations to everyone present.

There are two conditions - each speech must be one sentence long and begin with the letters of the alphabet in order!

For example:

• A - I am absolutely sure that the new year will be the best!
• B - Be healthy and happy!
• Q – In general, I’m glad to be with you today!
• G - Pride bursts at the sight of those gathered at this table!..

The most fun moment is when the letters e, e, yu, y, s come into play.

Game option: each next toast begins with the last letter of the previous congratulation. For example: “I’m very glad if you support me with applause! “And all the best to you...” To complicate things, you can prohibit starting a toast with prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.

“I’ll sing about Frost!” Compose a ditty

During the evening, those who wish must write and then present to the audience a ditty, which contains New Year’s words or themes pre-set by the presenter. It could be " New Year, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden."

You can compose awkward songs - with the last line unrhymed, but maintaining the given rhythm of the ditty. Example:

Hello, red Santa Claus
you brought us gifts!
The most important thing is ten days
Let's just relax.

Snow news

Attributes: Cards with word-nouns. There are 5 completely unrelated nouns written on the cards. It is advisable to include at least 1 winter word there.

The participant draws out a card, reads out loud the given words and within 30 seconds (although if those present at the party are already, well, very tired, then 1 minute is possible) comes up with a news story from one sentence. And all the words from the card should fit in it.

Nouns can be turned into other parts of speech (adjectives, verbs, adverbs...) and changed as you like, and the news must certainly be interesting and funny.

You can start the news with the words “Sensation!”

For example:

• 1 card – “road, chair, roof, bicycle, snowman.” Sentence - “Outside the city, a huge snowman with a broken roof was discovered on a road bike with a chair instead of a seat!”
• Card 2 – “fence, sound, ice floe, shop, Christmas tree.” Sentence - “Near the store, under the fence, someone left a Christmas tree with sounding pieces of ice.”

Try this: it will be even more interesting if you prepare a lot of cards, where one different word will be written, and the players themselves will draw out the 5 words they get.

Fun guaranteed!

I like/don't like my neighbor

The game does not require any improvised means! But requires a sufficient degree of emancipation or relaxed relationships in the team.

The presenter invites everyone present to name which part of the body (can be clothing) they like about the person sitting on the left, and which they don’t like. For example: “I like my neighbor on the right left ear and I don’t like the bulging pocket.”

After everyone has named and remembered what was said, the presenter asks to kiss (or stroke) what they like and bite (or spank) what they don’t like.

Not everyone can play, but only 6-8 brave ones are called into the circle.

Our friend is orange!

This game can be played at a New Year's party in the office only if all colleagues know each other well. Or at least everyone has a friend or girlfriend in the team.

The presenter thinks of a person from those present at the table. And the participants, with the help of leading questions, try to guess who it is.

But questions are not simple - they are associations! Whoever guesses first wins.

The questions are something like this:

• — What fruit/vegetable does it look like? - For an orange.
• — What food is it associated with? - With pies.
• - With what animal? - With a mole.
• — With what music? - With choral singing.
• - With what flower?
• - With what plant?
• - By car?
• - Color?
• — Part of the world?

Yin-yang cones

Attributes: 2 cones - one painted white, the other black. If you have nothing to paint with, you can wrap them with colored ones. woolen threads the desired color.

The course of the fun: a host is selected from among the guests, who will have these two cones. They are signals of his answers, because he is not allowed to speak at all. He thinks of a word, and the others, with the help of leading questions, try to guess what he has in mind.

The whole secret is that he can only silently show: YES - this is a white lump, NO - black. If neither this nor that, he can lift both at once.

The first one to guess correctly wins.

Instead of pine cones, you can take multi-colored Christmas balls. But you need to be careful with glass ones, especially if the presenter has already drunk a couple of glasses of champagne.

Associations on paper. Broken telephone associations

Attributes of the players: paper and pen.

The first person writes any noun word on his piece of paper and speaks it quietly into his neighbor’s ear. He comes up with his own association for this word, writes it down and whispers it to the next person.

This is how associations are transmitted along the chain... The last one speaks out loud the word given to him. It is compared with the original source and it is fun to find out at which link in the chain of associations the failure occurred: everyone reads out their nouns.

funny neighbor

Any number of guests can play.

We stand in a circle, and the driver begins: he performs an action with his neighbor that will make him laugh. He can take him by the ear, pat him on the shoulders, tap him on the nose, flick his arm, touch his knee... That's it, those standing in a circle must repeat the same movement with your neighbor/neighbor.

The one who laughs is eliminated.

Then the driver makes the next movement, everyone repeats. If no one laughed, new movement. And so on until the last “Nesmeyana”.

New Year's rhyme machine

The driver reads out little-known New Year/winter quatrains. But he only says the first 2 lines out loud.

The rest are invited to take part in a competition for the best rhymer.

Guests come up with and rhyme the last two lines. Then the funniest and most original poet is selected, and then the original poem is read out amid general laughter and joy.

Drawing competition “I see, I see New Year!”

Those who wish are given A-4 sheets of free-form lines and felt-tip pens. Everyone has the same image (copier can help you).

The task is to complete a picture on a New Year's theme.

Of course, everyone knows who in the team is best versed in painting. So he or she will evaluate the results. Whoever is more interesting is the winner! There can be many winners - it’s a holiday!

Movable

Nimble bump

Attributes: pine or fir cones.

Progress of the game: guests can either sit at the table or stand in a circle (if they have been sitting too long by this time). The task is to pass the pine cone to each other. The condition is that you can transmit it only by holding it on the back of your two palms. Try it, it's quite difficult... But also fun!

You can also divide into equal teams, and whichever one hands over its cone faster wins.

My Frost is the most beautiful!

You will need various items such as: garlands, funny hats, scarves, beads, ribbons. socks, mittens, women's bags... Two or three ladies who want to be in the role of the Snow Maiden for a few minutes each choose a man to turn him into Father Frost.

From items prepared in advance on the table, Snow Maidens are created cheerful image your hero. In principle, you can end here by choosing the most successful and funniest model...

The Snow Maiden can take snowflakes for herself, which will help with the “design” of Santa Claus and with advertising.

Snow paths

This is a very successful game to determine pairs for subsequent New Year competitions.

Attributes: colored ribbons in winter shades (blue, light blue, silver...). Length 4-5 meters. It is necessary to cut the ribbons in half in advance and sew them together, mixing up the halves.

3-4 pairs of players are called. The presenter holds a basket/box, to which lie multi-colored ribbons, the ends of which hang down.

Presenter: “On New Year’s Day, the paths were covered with snow... The blizzard mixed up the paths in Santa Claus’s house. We need to untangle them! In pairs, each grab the end of the tape that you like and pull the track towards you. The couple that draws their ribbon before the others will receive a prize!”

Players choose a pair and the color of the ribbon, expecting that there will be a single ribbon at the ends of the same color. But the fun is that the ribbons are sewn in different ways, and completely unexpected pairs are formed.

Happy people train

Everyone loves round dances: both small and large (and those who are embarrassed to admit it)!

Give your guests a round dance-train. It is clear that vacationers at a party may find it difficult to motivate themselves to participate in an active competition, so come up with something for them branded slogans.

— Now those who are attached to the train are
a) desires great wealth for himself,
b) wants to be loved,
c) who wants a lot of health,
d) who dreams of traveling to the sea, etc.

The host drives the train around the hall, it fills and fills with guests. And when it is clear that no one else can be pulled out from behind the tables, train dances are arranged (the host can show them) to daring music.

New Year's fixed deposit

Attributes: candy wrapper money.

Two pairs are selected, each with a man and a woman. It is advisable for the men to be dressed approximately the same (if one has a jacket, then the other should also wear a jacket).

— Dear women, the New Year is approaching, and you need to make a timely deposit in the bank. Here's some money for you (each of the women is given a pack of candy wrappers). These are initial payments. You will put them in the bank on a super fixed deposit. Your men are your banks. Only one condition - each “bill” is in a separate cell! Pockets, sleeves, collars, lapels and other secluded places can become cells. Contributions can be made while the music is playing. Just remember where you put your money. Let's start!

The task is given 1-2 minutes.

- Attention! Intermediate check: whoever managed to make a full investment (not a single candy wrapper left in their hands) receives an additional point. All the money is in business!

- And now, dear depositors, you must quickly withdraw cash - after all, we know that it was a super quick deposit. Each of you will be filming blindfolded, but you will always remember what you put and where. Music! Let's start!

The trick is that the men are swapped, and the women, blindfolded, “search” someone else’s partner without knowing it. Everyone has fun!

We are actors no matter what!

Those who wish to participate are given cards with tasks. None of them knows in advance what they will have to face.

The presenter announces that the participants need to take a walk in front of everyone, depicting what is written on the cards. Here is a sample list:

• tightrope walker over the abyss,
• duck in the yard,
• teenager with a stalled bike,
• shy girl,
• shy Japanese woman in a kimono in the rain,
• baby starting to walk,
• heron in the swamp,
• Joseph Kobzon at a performance
• policeman at the market,
• hare along the path,
• model on the catwalk,
• arab sheikh,
• cat on the roof, etc.

The tasks can be supplemented and expanded with any ideas.

Funny joke “Bear in a den or slow-witted spectators”

Attention: only played once!

The presenter invites someone who wants to perform a pantomime, takes him to a separate room and gives him a “secret” task - portray without words bear (hare or kangaroo).

Meanwhile, the presenter's assistant negotiates with the others NOT to understand his body movements.

The volunteer returns and begins to show the selected animal with movements and gestures. The guests pretend that they do not understand and call anything but the person they are shown.

- Does he waddle around? Yes, this is the platypus (lame fox, tired boar)!
- Licking his paw? The cat is probably washing itself.
Etc.

It happens that the person portraying is surprised by the guests’ lack of understanding and begins to get angry: “Are you so stupid? It's so simple! And if he shows hellish patience, shows it again and again - he has nerves of iron! But this also amuses the employees gathered at the party. There is no need to delay. When the player begins to run out of imagination and patience, you can guess the correct animal.

3. Music competitions

Can you imagine the New Year without music, songs and dances? That's right, no! For additional entertainment and fun, many music competition games have been invented for the New Year's corporate party.

Scene “Clip-song”

This is the most creative musical fun for a New Year's corporate evening.

Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Santa Claus, a Christmas tree, the Snow Maiden... and simple attributes that will help the players dress up (beads, hats, felt boots, scarves...)

The task is to make a corporate video for the song “The Little Christmas Tree Is Cold in Winter.” We need an operator who will shoot a video clip on camera.

Participants, to the accompaniment of songs, begin to depict all the actions that are sung about: “the little gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree” - the hero is jumping, “they hung the beads” - the team hangs the beads on an improvised living “Christmas tree”.

You can divide into two teams (employees and female employees) and each will shoot their own video. It is advisable to display the results on a large screen and compare them. The winners will be awarded with branded souvenirs or applause.

Competition "Lazy Dancing"

The players sit in a circle on chairs and begin to dance to the cheerful New Year's music and song. But these are strange dances - no one gets up from their seats!

They dance at the command of the leader in different parts body:

• First we dance with our elbows!
• Then shoulders
• legs,
• fingers,
• lips,
• eyes, etc.

The rest choose the coolest dance.

Upside down song

This is a comic game that you can play at any time during the holiday. The presenter recites lines from a New Year/winter song, but with the words in reverse. Everyone's task is who is faster guess the original and sing it. The person who guesses correctly is given a chip (candy wrapper, candy, cone...) so that later it will be easier to count the winner in the entire competition.

The lines might look something like this:

— The birch tree died in the steppe. - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree.
- The old month is slow, nothing will happen for a long time. - The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon.
— White, white steam rose on the ground. — Blue-blue frost lay on the wires.
- One gray donkey, one gray donkey. - Three white horses, three white horses.
— Brave White Wolf sat on a baobab tree. - The cowardly gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree.
- Keep quiet, Santa Claus, where are you going? - Tell me, Snow Maiden, where have you been?
- Read me a book about 1 hour. - I’ll sing you a song about five minutes.
— The huge palm tree is hot in the summer. – The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.
— The weights were removed and left the chain. - They hung the beads and began to dance in a circle.
“I was running away from you, Snow Maiden, and wiped away a few sweet smiles.” - I was running after you, Santa Claus. I shed a lot of bitter tears.
- Oh, it’s hot, it’s hot, warm you up! Warm you and your camel. - Oh, frost-frost, don’t freeze me! Don't freeze me, my horse.
- Your worst acquisition is me. - My best gift is you.

Song competition “Musical hat of Santa Claus”

Attributes: put words from New Year's songs in the hat.

The players pass it around in a circle to the accompaniment of music. When the music stops, the person who received the hat at that moment takes out a card with the word and must remember/sing the piece of the song where it appears.

You can play in teams. Then the hat is passed from representative to representative of each team. You can limit the time it takes to complete a task and reward the team for every guess they make.

If you’re not sure that your guests are so quick-thinking, write not just one word, but a short phrase. Then it will be easier to remember the song!

Dance by candlelight

A dynamic, but at the same time very calm and gentle dance competition.

Play slow music and encourage couples to light sparklers and dance. The couple whose fire burns longer wins and will receive a prize.

If you want to add spice to your dance, choose tango!

An old song in a new way

Print the lyrics of famous (not even New Year's) songs and prepare musical accompaniment without words (karaoke music).

This could be Karabas Barabas, the Snow Maiden, an evil policeman, a kind Baba Yaga, and even your boss.

Quietly loud

A well-known song is chosen, which all guests begin to sing in chorus.

On the command “Quiet!” sing a song to themselves. At the command “Loud!” out loud again.

And since everyone sang at their own pace, the loud choir begins with different words. And this is repeated several times, amusing everyone.

4. Team

Team games for the New Year's corporate party will once again strengthen team spirit and solidarity, serving as unscheduled team building.

Competition - relay race "Felt boots of Santa Claus"

Attributes: 2 pairs of extra-large felt boots (or one).

This game is played around the tree or around chairs in teams.

Those playing, at the driver’s signal or the sound of music, put on large felt boots and race around the tree (chairs). If you only have one pair of such winter shoes, then let the teams compete against the clock.

With felt boots you can also come up with many different relay races: divide into teams and run, passing them on to each other as a team; carry with outstretched arms so as not to drop; put on felt boots and run backwards (it’s difficult to do this in big ones), etc. Imagine!

Don't drop the lump

Attributes: “snow” balls made from crumpled paper; large spoons (wooden possible).

Progress of the relay competition: two teams of equal numbers gather. At the command of the driver (or the sound of music), the first participants must quickly run around the room back and forth, carrying a lump in a spoon and trying not to drop it. Don’t choose too long routes - just make a circle around the tree.

Gather a team or “Friendly Mosaic”

The competition requires little preparation. You need to photograph the teams, print the photo on a printer and cut it into small pieces. The teams' task is to put together a photo of their team in the minimum amount of time.

Those who complete their puzzle faster win.

Preferably so that the photos are large.

The snowman turns...

Two teams. Each has 4 participants and 8 balls (blue and white are possible). Each one has the large letters S_N_E_G_O_V_I_K written on it. The snowman “melts” and turns... into other words.

Rope for the brave

This is a competition exclusively for adults. The guests are divided into two equal teams.

At the driver’s signal and to the accompaniment of lively music, the players take off parts of their clothes in order to knit a long, very long rope from them.

When “Stop!” sounds, the visibly undressed participants begin to measure the length of their clothing chains.

The longest one wins!

Let's dress up for the New Year! or “Dark Outfit”

Two participants stand near their chest/box/basket, which contain different items of clothing. They are first blindfolded, and then they must put on everything from the chest as quickly as possible.

Will Cinderella go to the New Year's ball?

In front of the two participants, mixed beans, peppers, rose hips, and peas are placed in a heap on plates (you can use any ingredients). The number of grains is small so that the game does not flow for too long (can be checked experimentally before the holiday).

After the players are blindfolded, they begin to sort the fruits into piles by touch. Whoever manages it first will go to the ball!

The youngest guests are most looking forward to the games for the New Year 2017. They will be happy to play all the proposed games, laugh, have fun and have fun. It’s worth starting competitions for the New Year 2017 with children’s ones because the enthusiasm of children will push adults to have fun.

"Egg Relay"

The first competition should be that competition that everyone is quite tired of, but it will please the patron next year – Fire Rooster. In the original story, children must divide into two teams, stand next to each other, and place two trays opposite. At the leader’s command, the first player from the team takes a spoon, puts a tangerine in it and carries it to the tray. As soon as he does this, the next player on the team takes the spoon and repeats the procedure. The winner is the team that is the first to transfer all the tangerines to the tray.

To make this game themed, tangerines should be replaced with eggs. Don't forget to boil them so that if they fall, they won't break. If you want to make the game even more interesting for children, paint all the eggs in a New Year's theme.

"Cap"

Great children's competition for the New Year 2017 - “Cap”. To do this, all children must stand in a circle, the leader gives one player a New Year's cap and turns on the music. While she plays, the players pass the cap around until the music stops. The participant who still had the cap in his hands when the music stopped puts it on and completes the task of the presenter.

To make this competition please the Fire Rooster, the cap should be replaced with a hat with a tuft. You can make it yourself from cardboard, sew it, or simply purchase it in a store.

"Artist"

This competition for children for the New Year 2017 will again divide the company into two teams. You also need to prepare two easels, whatman paper, markers and blindfolds in advance. The first player of the team stands in front of an easel with a blank piece of paper on it. He is blindfolded, given a marker, and he begins to draw a New Year's picture: it can be anything - a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, a snowman, the Snow Maiden. The patron saint of 2017 according to the eastern calendar – the Fire Rooster – must be present in the picture.

When the first player draws one element of the picture, he removes the blindfold and passes it to the second player, who will have to continue the drawing blindfolded. The team whose drawing is the most beautiful wins.

"Crocodile"

A classic game that both adults and children enjoy playing. Two people start playing, the first makes a wish for the second New Year's tale or a song. The second player, without the help of words, but only by showing with facial expressions and body, tries to convey to the other participants what was wished for him. The player who guessed correctly leaves, and the one who just showed the hidden fairy tale or song comes up with a new one for the winning child.

The game can last as long as the children are interested in playing it. Since the coming year will be the Year of the Fire Rooster, in addition to New Year's songs and fairy tales, you can expand the list of riddled phrases and words to those related to the Rooster and the eastern horoscope.

Adults love games and competitions for the New Year no less than children. In 2017, try to come up with as much entertainment as possible for all guests in order to appease the Fire Rooster with fun and laughter.

Competitions for adults should be selected depending on the company. If you have invited the whole family, including grandparents, then consider several calm competitions where they will not need to run and jump. If among the invitees there are only young people, then the competitions can be a little “piquant”.

"Snow Sniper"

This competition for the New Year 2017 involves the presence of 2 buckets and many balls of cotton wool. Guests are divided into two or three teams, depending on their number. Each team is given the same number of cotton wool balls that will replace snowballs. A bucket is placed at a distance of 5-7 meters, and each team begins to throw snowballs into it. The smaller the bucket, the harder it will be to get into it, so if you want to make the competition more challenging, use children's buckets or even glasses. The team that manages to throw the most snowballs into the container wins.

To make this New Year's competition even more enjoyable for the Fire Rooster, the symbol of 2017, you can exchange snowballs for grains, and buckets for small glasses. This will make the competition unusual and more challenging.

"Fees"

A fun competition for the New Year 2017 for adults - “Gatherings”. The only props you will need for it are mittens. To participate in the competition, the host selects all guests whose clothes are fastened with buttons. Anyone can join them and receive mittens. The task of the player wearing mittens is to gather his partner for the holiday. To do this, he needs to put a shirt on him and fasten all the buttons (even on the sleeves). The team that completes its task the fastest wins.

The competition can become even funnier if the person wearing mittens wears a festive cap. But you need to put it on your face, not your head, so that it looks like a bird’s beak. This detail will not only prevent participants from taking a closer look at the buttons to make them easier to fasten, but will also please the patron of the coming year - the Fire Rooster.

"Princess on the Pea"

“The Princess and the Pea” is an excellent competition for the New Year 2017 for a cheerful youth company. Only girls participate in it. The presenter places chairs behind each girl. They stand with their backs to the chair, and at this time small objects are placed on it (grains, caramels, construction parts, etc.). Sitting on a chair behind her, the participant must guess what is on the chair and how many pieces. The participant who is closest to the correct answer wins.

If all the guests understand the jokes, then you can put nothing on one chair or place a drawing with the image of the Fire Rooster - the symbol of 2017. Then the girl will try for a very long time to understand what she sat on, especially if several girls in front of her have already given the correct answers.

"Who am I"

Another cool competition for the New Year 2017 - “Who am I.” To organize it, you only need sticky notes, a marker and a stopwatch. All guests are divided into teams so that each succeeds equal number participants. One player from the team takes turns, the leader sticks a sticker on his forehead with a noun already written on it. The word must be somehow related to the holiday.

A participant with a sticker on his forehead begins to ask questions: “Am I alive?”, “Am I an actor?”, “I have magical abilities?”, and players from his team can only answer “yes” or “no”. You shouldn't guess the most simple words, otherwise the competition will be too easy. Once a player guesses who they are, the next team comes into play. In this case, the presenter detects exact time, for which a player from each team managed to guess who he was. Next, the second team members come out, etc. The team that completes its task the fastest wins.

This competition is good because it can last as long as you like, and absolutely all guests can participate in it - from children to grandparents. Such a competition for the New Year 2017 for the whole family will please the Fire Rooster, and it will definitely bring good luck to your home.

“How you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it” - remember this saying when you plan your holiday night. The more fun, laughter and smiles there are, the happier the coming 2017 will be for you.

Try, together with your whole family, to think in advance about how to celebrate the New Year 2017. Dream about what it will be like for you, make a list of wishes and goals. And, of course, don’t forget to come up with something to choose for the holiday table in advance for yourself and your children, and for all your family and friends.

It is impossible to imagine any party without the company of your favorite friends. You can celebrate International Pancake Day or Bastille Day with them - it’s always fun and interesting! In order not to interrupt this wonderful tradition, you should thoroughly prepare for organizing the main party of the year!

An important part of the 2017 meeting is entertainment: games and competitions for the New Year for adults. They make you get to know each other better, make the team more united, and make the evening more interesting, if you know what I mean 😉

website I’m sure that almost all adults will be very happy to take part in jokes, dance in a round dance, make a cool toast and compete in exciting competitions! They can be different: playful, ingenious, dexterous and, of course, with erotic overtones. It all depends on the degree of relaxation of the party guests.

We offer 12 fun games and competitions for the New Year's Eve that will make the party fun and memorable.

1. So this is about me!

Small paper bags are taken in which you can put souvenirs, sweets or any small items (batteries, condoms, a glass...). Nominations are written on the packages:
- the longest haired;
- the one who kissed the girl before everyone else;
- the one who kissed the guy before everyone else;
- the owner of underwear with the greatest number of colors and shades;
- the strongest arm wrestler;
- the lady with the most high heels;
- the most thrifty smoker (the one or the one who has the most cigarettes with him);
- the coolest rapper (who reads poetry the fastest);
- the most Blue eyes 2017;
— the loudest laughter of 2017;
- the craziest thing to do in 2016;
- the most unlucky one (the one who did not receive any of the holiday packages).

You can come up with your own nominations - the ones most suitable for your friends and family.

The finished bags with contents need to be hung on the Christmas tree. This can be done before the guests arrive, but then they will be discovered too early, most likely even before everyone has arrived. Therefore, it is best to do this immediately after midnight, when everyone goes to look at the balcony or to watch the New Year's fireworks on the street. At this moment, hang the bags on the tree. What not Original gifts for all those present.

Guests returning from the fireworks will notice new Christmas tree decorations and begin the competition...

2. What do you remember about the past year?

Buy whatman paper in size A1 or A0. At the top, write in large letters “What you remember about 2016.” To make the inscription look even and beautiful, print it on a printer using your favorite New Year's font. You can paste a photo of the guests onto whatman paper (for married couples– use joint photos). There should be space between photographs for drawings. It’s even better if you order such a poster from a printing house.

We hang the poster on the wall or closet. Let everyone draw next to their photo the best event of the past year for them. Some will depict a palm tree, symbolizing a vacation in warm countries, some will depict a new car, and for others it will be a child confidently walking to school for the first time with a briefcase.

You can make such collections of positive memories a tradition in your friendly company.

3. Coolest of all

We choose the main characters of the evening - Father Frost and Snow Maiden. Those interested change into costumes, take thematic attributes: a beard, mittens, a staff, a bag with gifts, and one by one introduce themselves to the public. The most cheerful, charismatic and irresistible guy or girl will become Santa Claus. The choice is made by voting with applause. Not only girls, but also brave guys can take part in the casting for the role of the Snow Maiden! A little powder, red lipstick and a wig with pigtails will turn a serious TOP manager into the cute granddaughter of Santa Claus. A short fashion show in a skirt will determine who will become the queen of the party, even if she has stubble.

4. Alphabet

Next, to warm up the party guests, it would be appropriate to hold a competition for the best toast in the alphabet. The gist of it is this: everyone takes turns saying a toast with wishes, but for a reason, and it must begin with a specific letter. For example, the first with “A” - “The sweetest orange, the most delicious tangerine, the kind Santa Claus will bring you as a gift,” then with “B” - “Great hopes, beautiful dreams, rays of goodness, and a cute beaver!” Happy New Year!”, “B” - “Santa Claus comes to the house, he brought us gifts: a soft bear, a delicious cake, telephone and lunar rover, pasta, orange, soap, gingerbread and dolphin.”

In such a cheerful manner, everyone makes their toasts, and the author of the most original rhyme wins a prize.

An easier option - the wish consists of one or two words per dropped letter. For example: I wish A active recreation, b riches, V Yesenia, G Lamura, d money...

Those who get the letters Y, Y, b, b will be especially lucky :)

5. Hello, sleepwalkers

Such a competition is best held when all the guests are already in a cheerful mood. One participant is seated on a chair, and now he plays the role of the main lunar base, others will portray lunar rovers and asteroids flying past. To do this, you need to crawl around the room on all fours, saying: “Hey, Lunokhod-1 is calling the base,” “Lunokhod-2, we need to refuel at the lunar base, the battery is low.”

Between spaceships periodically an asteroid flies by at speed, and with the words “Banzai” tries to get into the lunar rover. There is only one rule in this game - don't laugh! At all! The one who gets a laugh in his mouth crawls to the base to receive the task.

It might look like this:

• remove two layers of skin from your lunar rover;
• pour 200 ml of fuel into Lunokhod 1;
• solder 3 new skin parts to Lunokhod 2;
• dock with Lunokhod 3;
• examine environment in reverse mode, etc.

The one who never laughs wins. Great mood guaranteed for everyone!

We divide into two teams and start creating a festive sculpture. The choice of image is at the discretion of the organizer: Father Frost, Snow Maiden, rooster (symbol of 2017), monkey (symbol of 2016), snowman or any other interesting character.

7. Pass it on

A good old game of match will help those gathered get to know each other better and loosen up a little. All guests stand in a circle, alternating between a guy and a girl. The match is cleared of sulfur, the first participant takes it with his lips and passes it to the next. After the first round, the match is cut a few mm, and it goes to new circle. The game ends when the participants no longer have anything to transfer, well, or at will.

8. News

Participants receive pieces of paper with five words written on them. In five minutes they must compose interesting news. Words from the card can be converted into any part of speech, for example:

• England, Chinese, axe, genetics, Malvina (English geneticists crossed a Chinese with an axe. But he refused to chop wood, but he planed a wooden Malvina for Pinocchio - let the kid have fun until the twig dried up);
• Tula, flashlight, minibus, roofing material, camel;
• Zimbabwe, pan, sun, skis, toothbrush;
• Antarctica, soap, ostrich, bicycle, ear.

9. Associations

One person whispers a certain word in the ear of the next, who passes on a synonym or a word close in meaning to this to his neighbor, and so on until the end. The last participant pronounces the word out loud, and it is compared with the first, often at the end completely unrelated words are found, such as sea and Olivier.

10. Slow Motion

Anyone can take part in this game. In turn, each participant is given a task that he must depict in slow motion:

• capture of Sparta;
• tearful declaration of love;
• fight with an invisible man;

• surfing, etc.

Whoever completes the task most creatively will receive a prize.

Since the theme is known, you will need to show tangerines, deer, Christmas tree decorations, crackers, garlands, etc.

When the word “Christmas tree” is heard in the New Year’s song, the kids need to stop and clap their hands. When they say “New Year” - wave your hand, “wolf” - stamp your foot. Keywords may be different, their choice depends on the lyrics of the songs. A child who misses the “code” phrase leaves the game. The round dance lasts 10-15 minutes. For the competition, 3-4 thematic songs are used. The most attentive participant wins.

Dress up your Christmas tree in a minute

Children are divided into two teams. Each group is given a box with decorations and clothespins. In one minute, while the chimes are striking (it’s most convenient to use a recording on You Tube), participants must decorate... one team member. The winners are those who manage to use all the toys in the allotted time and hang them on the Christmas tree in a more original way.

Stick the nose to the snowman

Then determine which color balls will become “harmful flies.” You will need to get rid of them. At the command of the leader, the guys begin to throw unnecessary balls to each other.

Divide the room for this fun with lines. The game lasts 5-7 minutes, after which the presenter announces its completion. Now we need to determine the winner. This will be the team whose territory contains fewer “pests”. Prizes for winning can be the same balls, if they are not used in other competitions.

Choose competitions in which all the kids can be involved

Competition with chairs

Our grandmothers also took part in this game. But even today it is popular and amuses children. For the competition you will need a certain number of chairs - one less than the number of competitors. The stools are placed in a circle, and the participants dance around them to the music. When the song stops, everyone must quickly take their seats. The one who does not get the chair is eliminated from the game. The number of chairs must be reduced by one each time.

Find the shoe

All guests take off their shoes from one foot and put the shoes in a large box. Then the children take turns blindfolding them with a scarf and asking them to find their shoe in the box by touch. The most accurate child wins. It's especially fun when parents join the kids and shoes of different sizes are mixed in the box.

Guess the hero

This competition will especially delight kids. Children are seated in a circle. The presenter, one by one, invites the children to continue the name of the fairy-tale or cartoon character.

Snowball Gatherers

An outdoor game for children of any age. Stock up on plastic buckets or bags and plenty of snowballs made from cotton wool, white fabric or thread. Each participant is given a bucket. The presenter pours all the snowballs onto the floor, and the guys must collect as much “snow” as possible, each in their own bucket. The game continues until the “snow drifts” are cleared. The one who has more snowballs than the rest will win.

Combine outdoor games with intelligence competitions

Competition for the best carnival costume

And they are happy to come to New Year's parties in dresses fairy-tale heroes and cute animals. Every child considers himself the most beautiful and elegant. But to become the best, original clothes are not enough. You need to be able to “protect” your image! The child must show creativity: sing his hero’s song, read his monologue or write a poem about him. The organizers must warn children about this competition in advance so that they can prepare properly.

Let's sum it up

Good competitions are useful not only during the winter holidays. They can be arranged at other children's events. For winning competitions, participants should be awarded symbolic prizes - chocolate medals, sweets, tangerines, small toys, pencils, felt-tip pens, and so on are suitable for this.
