After all, children usually play whatever adults offer them. We already have ideas for children's competitions, and we will be happy to share them with you. So, record and play.

Competition – palm or rooster?
This competition is for children who love to imagine and love to draw. The competition takes place in two stages, and each of them is interesting. First, children should trace their palm on paper. For example, like this:

Then having a drawing of your palm. Children should draw a cockerel1 yes, make a cockerel out of their palm! Do you think it's difficult? Look. it turns out like this:

See, everything is simple and beautiful. As we have already written, the main thing here is to use your imagination and then everything will work out.

Competition - oh, frost, frost!
New Year- this is winter. And winter is freezing! Let's play a little frosty game?
All children stand in one line. The presenter says how many degrees of frost there are, and the children make certain movements for each degree.
Minus ten - children rub hand in hand.
Minus twenty - the children are shuffling their feet.
Minus thirty - children are jumping.
Minus forty - the children are hiding in the house.
The presenter must confuse the children so that they show the wrong movements. For example, first try and tell everything to the degree in order. And then alternate: minus ten, and immediately minus forty! Whichever child made the wrong move is eliminated. And the winner is the one who did everything correctly and did not freeze.

Competition - tell me, Snow Maiden, where have you been?
The next competition is based on the song from the cartoon “Well, Just Wait”! Do you remember, there the wolf and the hare sang a song with the lines - tell the Snow Maiden, where was she? You need this song and this particular piece. And you also need a Snow Maiden who will show the actions.
The song turns on, and the Snow Maiden shows the actions where she was. And then the children must guess where the Snow Maiden was. For example, the Snow Maiden shows that she was swimming. Or that she was sleeping. Or that she decorated the Christmas tree and so on. Whichever child guesses the most wins a prize.

Competition - decoy riddles for children
Children really like this competition. And it’s easy to play - you make tricky riddles, and the children guess. And since they are fakes, the first answers are very funny and off topic. And whoever is more attentive will guess and receive a prize.

Not in vain folk wisdom says: as you celebrate the New Year, this is how it will continue to be. If there is no desire to remain in prison for the next 12 months, sleepy state and be sad, New Year's dishes should be diluted with entertaining leisure time. It is known that the Rooster is playful and cocky, so competitions for the New Year 2017 can be lively and mischievous.

Competition ideas for adults

For children, it’s not a problem to come up with a game literally on the fly, but it’s more difficult to surprise and amuse adults. Universal competitions are ideal for home gatherings:

• "Cool." The participants can be men; women are unlikely to want to take part in such a competition and ruin their makeup. There can be up to 5 people interested, 5 eggs are placed on a plate in front of them (less, depending on the number of players). They announce that 1 egg is raw, the rest are hard-boiled. The goal is to break all the eggs against your forehead and not retreat, since with each tested egg the tension rapidly increases. The secret of this fun competition for the New Year is that raw egg not among those proposed, but there is a chance to leave the game.
• "Homemade Santa Claus." Women are invited to choose their own Santa Claus, whom she should decorate in an interesting way using available materials: Christmas tree tinsel, garlands, toys. It is necessary to introduce creation with poems, sayings, and songs.
• Cheerful congratulations will add a unique flavor to the feast if prepared in advance. A prepared text with wishes is taken, adjectives are deliberately omitted. For example: “we would like to wish you this... new year.” Guests are invited to fill in the missing words - the congratulations will turn out funny and very funny.
• Statements can be organized alphabetically, inviting those present to make a toast starting with a specific letter: a, b, c. The player who comes up with the funniest wish will win this New Year's competition for adults.
• Guests are divided into teams, which are asked to find a way out of a difficult situation. It could be a plane suddenly without a pilot. Or the participant found himself in an unfamiliar city. Or after the crash the company found itself on a desert island. Opponents ask tricky questions, which should be answered humorously.
• Merry New Year's fun will delight the Rooster, so imagination should be limitless. Taken Balloons, a note with a comic task is placed inside each one: crow, imitate the chimes, perform a dance, sing a song. Any tasks are designed to lift your spirits. The point of such a competition for the New Year 2017 is so that the Year of the Rooster passes with laughter. You have to pop the balls without using your hands, which makes the task more difficult and increases the fun.
• It would be useful to test the erudition of the guests by asking them to name films related to the New Year theme. The winner among adults will be the one who remembers maximum amount artistic paintings dedicated to a winter family holiday.

Games for adults do not have to be vulgar, although there are participants who consider this quite acceptable after drinking alcohol. The goal of the competition should be a good mood, not a large number of embarrassed and blushing ladies.

For the whole family

Even in a narrow family circle you can find a way to have fun new year holidays and please the Rooster:

1. Associations. Ask them to name New Year's attributes in a circle: snow, gifts, Christmas tree. Whoever fails to find the word is eliminated from the game. There remains a winner who remembers greatest number associations. The game is suitable for children of any age if they already know how to talk.
2. At the beginning of the holiday, distribute cards with tasks that must be completed at a certain time. The funny moments will be remembered for a long time: how suddenly dad cackled at the table, and the youngest member of the family suddenly began to sing a song.
3. Prepare questions in advance that usually have correct answers. The highlight of the competition is to initially answer incorrectly and with a dose of humor. It is advisable to play at an accelerated pace, without giving time for reflection. The more ridiculous the answer, the more laughter it causes. For children, it is better to come up with easy questions so that the little participants do not get upset.
4. Two holes are made in the cardboard sheet for the hands, after which a figure of your choice is drawn. It remains a big secret for children and adults what they draw; the author of the most successful masterpiece wins.
5. Competitions for the New Year must be active. Snowflakes are cut out of paper according to the number of family members present at the table. You need to blow on the snowflakes, but the winner will be the one whose paper snowflake falls to the floor last.
6. The task is given to imagine that everyone at the table is a Christmas tree. The presenter calls out the words: wide, low, high, and the participants must depict this Christmas tree. Whoever makes a mistake leaves the game, and the most attentive among children and adults wins.
7. Competitions for friendly family usually intended for an even number of participants. The couple hugs their partner with one hand, while the other remains “working.” The task is to cut out a Christmas tree from colored paper: one holds the paper, the other holds scissors.
8. You can temporarily entrust mom with the role of the Snow Maiden, and dad and the children will take turns giving her compliments. This will be a great opportunity for children to say kind words to their mother, and she will be pleased to hear so many flattering phrases addressed to her.
9. Some New Year's competitions for the Year of the Rooster will test children's visual memory. Parents take them to the Christmas tree and ask them to remember the number and location of toys on the branches. After this, the guys leave the room, and mom and dad swap the toys or put them away. Returning children are asked to say what has changed on the forest beauty.
10. New Year's competitions for small children and adults can be performed with musical accompaniment. Play a quick melody and pass a small souvenir around in a circle. The movement stops when the music stops, and the last one left in the game wins.

You can involve children of all ages in competitions by choosing best option. This will allow them to value family traditions and pass them on to future generations.

Fun corporate event

In the office, it’s not always possible to get to know your colleagues better due to a busy work schedule. For this reason, most managers organize corporate gatherings so that the team becomes friends and discovers new facets and aspects of character in others. You can just sit at the table, eat and have small talk on any other day, and the New Year holidays under the auspices of the Rooster are simply bound to be fun. Fun competitions for adults will help with this:

1. The invitees are divided into two identical teams. Opposite each of them are trays with an equal number of tangerines, and empty trays near the players. Each participant must run to the tray, put the fruit in a spoon and bring it to the empty spoon. It is important to keep the tangerine in the spoon, and the team that transfers all the fruits faster will win.
2. Guests are divided into pairs (the number is arbitrary). Men wear a shirt over their clothes, and women wear men's gloves. Goal: fasten all the buttons as quickly as possible.

Music is turned on at various intervals, after which the players pass the bag around in a circle. Whoever the music stops on must pull an object out of the bag at random and put it on himself. By the end of the game, New Year's outfits will become original additions.
4. Two teams are made up of the participants. One comes up with a word and calls it only to one player from among the opponents. He must use facial expressions and gestures to tell his team what the word is. After winning, the teams change roles. This game is not difficult for children, but adults will have a hard time due to complexes and tightness.
5. Men can compete by blowing up balloons at speed. In this case, women need to prepare for the loud pops that will be made by bursting balloons.
6. Participants take part in the competition in pairs. Women must prepare a simple dish from food from the table, after which they quickly feed it to their male partner. The winner is the pair that completed the task faster than the others.

By organizing New Year's competitions for children and adults, you can unite your family even closer and make this winter holiday even more magical and unforgettable.

"Relay of Memories"

Usually, before the New Year, people say goodbye to the outgoing year, summing up its results. This can be turned into a game. Let everyone quickly and briefly name the most pleasant moments that happened to him in the past year, and pass the baton to someone else. The one who could not quickly pick it up and continue with his memories becomes a loser, but for this he is awarded the title of “lucky person of 2017.” At the same time, the display of a sense of humor by those gathered is encouraged.

"Draw a dream"

When choosing New Year's competitions for a small company, you can pay attention to the following. Participants are provided with sheets of paper and markers, crayons or pencils. They are then blindfolded and must then blindly try to draw their dream. When all the participants have finished their work, they take off their bandages and, together with other guests, try to guess what kind of dream was depicted on each canvas.

The unwary player who tells the truth will receive a forfeit - to sing a song, read a poem, or fulfill the wish of one of the participants, just as it happens in the classic game of forfeit.

"New Year's Talisman"

When thinking over a scenario for the New Year in the family, competitions can be chosen with a creative twist. For example, make a New Year's talisman from office supplies (tape, pins, paper clips), plasticine and even food. Each participant in the competition is offered the task of making a talisman for one of the participants in the feast from the materials provided in 2-3 minutes. The winner is the one who not only designed the most impressive talisman, but also accompanied it with the most convincing or original explanation of why it is needed.

"Remembering the Alphabet"

New Year's competitions for adult company You can turn on this kind of entertainment.

On this occasion, he suggests raising glasses and making toasts to the New Year, which should begin in alphabetical order. Next comes the turn of the guests, who must invent toasts, starting with the letter “A” and further alphabetically. For example, these:

• Be healthy in the coming year!
• To your health!
• Brilliant thoughts to everyone this year!

When the audience is exhausted and the last toast is said, everyone should vote for the most successful or funniest toast and drink to the health of its author.

“Make your favorite cabbage”

Agree that the funniest new competitions for adults for the New Year should be held with the participation of couples. The essence of the entertainment is that one of the couple is blindfolded, after which he must blindly dress up his partner. Here you will need preliminary preparation– in a large bag you need to put a variety of clothes, preferably incompatible in style, color, etc. Thanks to this, the “outfit” will turn out to be very funny, it will cause fun among all the guests.

You can add competitive principles to this game by having different couples compete in dressing speed. And after the competition is over, until the wonderful outfits are taken off, you can pose in them for the camera.

"Snowballs"

Everyone's favorite funny New Year's competitions for children and adults, such as snowball fights, are especially win-win. Moreover, you can give yourself such pleasure without going outside. A large pile of old newspapers must be placed in front of each participant, after which the presenter times the time of 1 minute, during which the competitors must make as big a snowball as possible.

There is also a more dynamic version of the snowball fight, which is designed for accuracy. At the same time, the participants should be seated in a row and a personal bucket should be placed at an equal distance from each. Then, on command, everyone begins to crumple newspapers, forming “snowballs” and throwing them into their basket. After a minute or two, the game stops and the baskets are checked - the winner is the one whose catch is richer.

"Frost Breath"

For this fun entertainment you need to line up everyone in front of an empty table, on which to lay out small snowflakes cut out of paper. Then, on command, all participants begin to blow as hard as they can on their snowflakes, trying to make them fall from the opposite end of the table. As soon as the last snowflake falls from the table, the competition ends. And the winner unexpectedly turns out to be the one whose snowflake lasted the longest on the table - all thanks to his frosty breath, because of which it froze to the table.

Be sure to take a couple of competitions from our article “Children’s competitions for the New Year”, then neither adults nor children will be bored.

"Secret Name"

Family New Year competitions on this topic can have two options. On the back of each family member participating in the game you need to attach a piece of paper on which his new name will be written (you can use the name of an animal or the name of a well-known person). And then, throughout the New Year's evening, all those gathered can hint to each other about new names. The one who is the first to guess what his name is now will be the winner of this fun competition.

In the second version of this game, everyone can ask leading questions about their name, but should only receive monosyllabic answers like “yes” or “no.” In the end, he will be able to guess his new name and then the turn to guess goes to the other player.

"MPS"

When choosing intellectual and funny New Year's competitions for the family at the table, you cannot pass by this entertainment:

A volunteer is selected from among the participants. The rules of the game are explained to all participants in the game - the guesser can ask any questions to anyone sitting at the table in any order, but will only receive “yes” and “no” answers. You should also not try to guess what MPS is by letter. Then the player leaves the room for a minute, and all participants are explained what an MPS is - this is my right neighbor. That is, each person sitting at the table should, when answering a question, keep in mind his neighbor to the right. Since each participant in the game has his own right neighbor, the answers to the same questions from different participants can be different (for example, for some it is a man, and for others it is a woman), which only confuses the guessing player. By the way, not everyone, in the end, manages to guess what MPS is.

Take a look at our article “Competitions for a New Year’s corporate party” - perhaps in it you will also find suitable competitions for the family circle.

"Surprise Ball"

Funny New Year competitions for families can play on wishes. To do this, you need to place scraps of paper with written wishes in rubber balls in advance and then inflate them. Each member of the household will choose the balloon they like, burst it and read out a wish for everyone for the coming year.

"Funny Numbers"

Everyone celebrating the holiday should be given a piece of paper and a pencil so that everyone can write any number. After this, the presenter begins to voice questions addressed to each specific person, and the answer will be the number written on the piece of paper. Required here appropriate questions, type:

• What time do you get up?
• How old are you?
• How many chili peppers can you eat in one sitting?

"Twins"

This game can be considered one of the funniest New Year competitions for the family. Couples of different generations should participate here: mother and son or father and daughter. The couple hugs the waist with one hand, while the other two hands remain free. In this state, the “Siamese twins” will need to cut out the figure: one will have to hold the paper, and the other will have to manipulate the scissors. The “Shiva” whose figurine turns out to be more successful will win.
