Cool competitions for New Year's family evening. How to celebrate the New Year at home?! "Little things from Grandfather Frost"

Very soon a magical holiday - New Year and I decided to find an interesting New Year's scenario for our family. As usual, this holiday was quite boring for us. Basically it was a feast and gifts.

I re-read many New Year's scripts for children and adults and chose the most fun and interesting competitions that can really be held at home. I share them with you.

Preparing for the New Year celebration

1. Decorate the room with snowflakes, balls, garlands, and rain. A mandatory attribute is a Christmas tree with lights and New Year's decorations.

2. For men, you can make red caps or funny noses with an elastic band, and women can be decorated with rain and blue hats. Children can be dressed in New Year's costumes. It would be very nice if one of the guests dressed up as Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.

3. Hang a Whatman paper with a marker in the hallway so that each guest can draw what he would like to have in the New Year. Believe me, these drawings will definitely help you achieve what you want. Let the children also take part in this art.

4. Prepare a wish box. Each guest will write his wish on a piece of paper and put it in this box. For example, “in the coming year I will become the manager of a company,” “I will go to a fitness club,” and more. Dreaming is a pleasant thing... Children can draw their desires. Then this box will need to be sealed and given to someone who will keep it for a whole year and the next year will open it and read out who wished what and who had their wishes fulfilled.

5. For competitions and games, prepare: souvenirs for the winners of competitions, small bags, a marker, tape, pens for all guests, felt-tip pens, postcards for puzzles, snowflakes or circles, whatman paper with drawings of Father Frost, Snowman and Snow Maiden and their plasticine noses or papers, bags of clothes, balloons, string with prizes, scissors, New Year's items. a hat, a bag with numbers, a sheet with questions and answers, pieces of paper with the names of characters from a movie or fairy tale, pieces of paper, a bottle and a cheerful mood :-).

New Year competitions and games for children

1. Snowflakes
Cut out about 50 snowflakes (you can use circles) and scatter them on the floor, and give each child a bag. Set up a snow collection for the Snow Maiden and Father Frost while listening to New Year's music. The one with the most New Year's snowflakes wins.

2. Gifts on a rope
Stretch a rope and hang various prizes (sweets, toys, etc.) on it on strings. If the children know how to use scissors, then let them cut the gifts; if not, let them tear them off. The one who collects the most prizes wins.
Instead of rope, you can use a Christmas tree.

3. The most dexterous
Place various New Year's items on the floor (there should not be as many as there are children, but one less). All children walk in a circle to the music; when the music stops, everyone must grab any object. Whoever gets nothing leaves the game for a while. The number of items decreases by one each time. The most dexterous one wins.

4. Decorate the Christmas tree
Children are given leaves with a painted Christmas tree. They must draw as many New Year's toys as possible within a certain time. You can compete not for time, but for the quality of the work performed.

5. Guess the object
The child is blindfolded and given any New Year's items. He needs to determine by touch what kind of object it is. You can arrange a competition to see who can guess the most items.

6. Children's disco
Make a selection of children's New Year's songs. Children can dance on their own, but not for long. That's why I picked up a few dance games.

1) dancer in a hat;
The presenter takes a hat (Santa Claus's headdress is best) and announces the rules of the game: the one on whom he puts the hat dances, and the rest simply clap their hands. So the presenter puts this hat on first one child and then another. And you can wear it on adults too... >

2) animal dance;
The presenter invites the children to dance like elephants, bears, bunnies, horses, foxes, butterflies, toads, etc. You can give out masks of these animals to the children. It will be much more fun this way.

3) dance with a task;
Everyone dances, and when the music stops, you need to perform a certain action. For example, shout “Happy New Year!”, sit down, run up to the Christmas tree... Whoever completes the task first wins.

4) elimination dance.
All the children dance and at the same time pass each other some New Year's item. The presenter turns off the music and the one who had this item in his hands at that moment is eliminated. The last one left on the dance floor wins.

6. Different Christmas trees
The presenter tells that there are different trees growing in the forest: low, wide, tall, and thin, and invites them to play a game of attention.
The presenter explains the rules of the game:
If I say;
“high” - raise your hands up;
“low” – lower your arms and sit down;
“wide” – spread your arms as wide as possible;
“thin” - bring your arms together as narrowly as possible.
The presenter plays with the children, trying to confuse them.

7. New Year's puzzles
Find any old New Year's cards (or download from the Internet) and cut them into several pieces (the older the child, the more pieces you will get). Invite the children to put together these funny pictures.

New Year competitions for adults

1. What kind of company are we?
The host has a list of fun questions and a list of answers to them. Throw numbers from 1 to 20 into the bag and ask your guests to draw one number for themselves. Then the presenter reads the questions and deciphers all the answers depending on which number each participant pulled out. Let the children draw out the number too. It will be very funny!
A list of questions and answers has been published, see the end of the article.

2. Fun dressing up
There are 2 couples participating in this competition. Each couple chooses pre-prepared bags of clothes. All participants are blindfolded. On command, 1 of the pair dresses the other by touch. The winner is the couple who dresses faster and better than others. It will be fun if 2 men in a pair choose a package with women's clothing!

3. Blow up the balloons
This competition is for fathers or mothers with children. Place a bag of balloons in the middle of the room. Dads or moms sit around the perimeter, and the children, as they inflate the balloons, bring them new balloons. The participant who inflates the most balloons wins.

4. Air snowmen
This competition is again for parents with children. You will need balloons that were inflated by all the participants in the previous competition, markers and tape. Participants must make a snowman out of the balls. Children will give their parents balloons and use a marker to color the resulting New Year's hero. Don't forget to turn on some fun music!

5. Funny noses
On a piece of whatman paper, draw the Snow Maiden, Father Frost and the Snowman, but without the nose. Make noses out of plasticine or cut out cardboard noses and ask the competition participants to take turns with their eyes closed to attach the nose to our fairy-tale heroes. Ask the children to play this game. Just don’t help, let them express themselves!

6. Characters from the film (fairy tales)
Print or write the names of characters from a movie or fairy tale on pieces of paper, put them in a bag and let everyone pull out one piece of paper. Each participant must portray his own hero.

7. Songs about winter
Guests take turns calling out the names of songs about winter and winter holidays. The one with the richest repertoire wins.

8. Take action
Each guest is given a small piece of paper on which they must write any action. For example, “dance the dance of the little ducklings”, “sing a song” and so on. Then all these pieces of paper are folded and put into any bottle. Everyone sits in a circle and starts playing spin the bottle, but the rules here are as follows: whoever the neck of the bottle points at, takes out only one note, reads everything that is written there and performs the action. The whole point is that the participant may get his own piece of paper, so you need to be careful when coming up with an action.

That's all. We've played enough... It's time to call Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. It would be nice if someone could dress up, at least as Santa Claus. That would be great.

So our Grandfather Frost will listen to rhymes and songs performed by children and, of course, give them gifts. If it is not possible to “invite” Santa Claus, then promise the children that he will come at night and will definitely leave them gifts under the Christmas tree. They played so wonderfully...

I hope you find this fun New Year's scenario for the family with competitions for children and adults useful. Let your New Year's holiday be unforgettable and give you a lot of pleasant impressions!
With coming!

The most family holiday in our country is getting closer and closer. And if so, then the time has come to prepare for it, and there is still a lot that needs to be done. From the list of things to do, the following stand out: gifts for relatives, treats for the holiday table and home decoration. What about entertainment? And we will take care of them. A new interesting scenario for the New Year 2019 is perfect for a holiday with your family. Games, competitions, a lot of ideas - you will remember this New Year's Eve forever.

Let's say right away that this is not the scenario you imagine. There are no words from the leader, no order of actions. We simply wrote down our thoughts and ideas for games and competitions that you could use for the New Year at home. If you like it, we're happy. If you don’t like it, offer something of your own.

Idea 1

First you need to spend the outgoing year. Let's do it this way: each member of seven will write on a piece of paper the three best events that happened to him or his family in 2018. Then we open the champagne, pour it, and put the leaves into the empty bottle. The bottle needs to be capped and the whole family needs to hide it somewhere away. But when to open it - decide for yourself. Maybe in a year, or maybe in ten years.
You can also write down the wishes you want on pieces of paper. To be fulfilled with you in the future. Then such a bottle should be opened after ten years and checked - is it fulfilled?!

Idea 2

Well, everyone is at the table and the TV is on in the room. And what goes on it? That's right - Soviet New Year's comedies! This means that you can play a game on this topic.
Show guests a video where still images appear. The video shows a still from the film, and the rest must guess what kind of New Year's film it is. The one who guesses correctly gets one point. And whoever scores the most points has the right to choose the channel and what to watch on TV all night long!
And here is the video for the game:

Idea 3

Continuing the theme about New Year's films. In this competition you also need to guess films about the New Year, only without videos. The leader, or whoever is in charge of him, reads the riddles, and the rest guess them. It's simple, but fun.
And here are the riddles:

Idea 4

Everyone is looking forward to the chimes and the beginning of the new 2019. Do you want to know what the coming year has in store for you? Then play a funny game for your guests - a comic horoscope for the year of the pig.
This can be done in the form of a skit or simply read all the horoscopes about the zodiac signs.

Idea 5

Does everyone remember the cartoon about the three construction pigs? We choose three heroes who will be builder pigs.
And so, our heroes must build a high tower, and the higher and stronger it is, the greater the chance of victory. We will build from different materials: first from empty plastic cups, then from apples, and then from grapes or corn. Let's see who can create the most reliable house.

Idea 6.

It's time to play forfeits. This is a fun game that is suitable for the whole family. Its essence is simple: you write down tasks on separate pieces of paper, and then the guests take turns taking out cards for themselves and doing what is written there.
Examples of tasks for playing forfeits:
- show a happy pig
- show the pig who saw people making barbecue
- you need to sing a New Year's song as if you were a rapper
- without using your hands you need to eat salad with mayonnaise from a flat plate
- you need to come up with an advertising slogan for your grandfather (grandmother)
- dip your nose in mayonnaise and write with your nose: 2019
- quickly list all the significant holidays in Russia

There are many questions and you, knowing your relatives, can come up with others.

Idea 7

Who am I? Usually this question is asked to oneself on January 1, but we will get ahead of things a little. To play the game you will need these masks:

Although you can choose any. If there are no masks, then just leaves with inscriptions. When the masks are put on the guests, they take turns asking questions about themselves, that is, about their mask. And based on the answers of others, they try to guess what kind of mask they have.

Idea 8

Well, let's get back to the topic of New Year's films. This time, guests will have to guess not the name of the film, but what is hidden behind the gift. Everything seems easy, but remembering such little things is not very easy.
Watch the video for the game:

Idea 9

Everyone remembers the game from childhood - pin the tail. This time this game is very relevant. Prepare some cardboard and draw a pig and a place for the tail on it. Make a tail and let guests take turns blindfolded and try their hand at it. Whoever manages to find the right place for the tail receives a piece of meat as a gift!

Idea 10

The chimes are just around the corner and it's time to sing. Let the guests perform New Year's and simply popular songs, but do not sing them, but grunt. And the rest must guess what kind of song it is.

Preparations for the main holiday of the year are gaining momentum. Gifts have been planned, food recipes have been chosen, a letter to Santa Claus has been written, and you’ve even already decided on the scenario for the New Year. To make the first night of 2013 truly memorable for all your guests, we suggest organizing competitions. We have selected 10 of the most fun and exciting family competitions for you!

Hold the snowflake

Inventory: Cotton wool.
Preparation: Lumps resembling a snowflake are made from cotton wool.
Hosted by Santa Claus.
Game: at the leader’s signal, the participants begin to blow from below onto the lump so that it flies like a snowflake. The task is to prevent the “snowflake” from falling.
Winner: the participant who keeps the “snowflake” in the air the longest.

We answer in chorus

A game of attentiveness. We answer yes or no. It turns out pretty funny.
Everyone knows Santa Claus, right?
He arrives at seven sharp, right?
Santa Claus is a good old man, right?
Wears a hat and galoshes, right?
Santa Claus will come soon, right?
He will bring gifts, right?
The trunk is good for our Christmas tree, right?
It was cut down with a double-barreled shotgun, right?
What grows on the Christmas tree? Bumps, right?
Tomatoes and gingerbread, right?
Well, our Christmas tree is beautiful, right?
There are red needles everywhere, right?
Santa Claus is afraid of the cold, right?
He is friends with the Snow Maiden, right?
Well, the questions have been answered,
You all know about Santa Claus.
And this means the time has come,
Which all the kids are waiting for.
Let's call Santa Claus!

New Year's bags

2 players each receive an elegant bag and stand at the coffee table, on which in a box there are scraps of tinsel, unbreakable Christmas tree decorations, as well as small things not related to the New Year holiday. To the accompaniment of cheerful music, blindfolded participants put the contents of the box into bags. As soon as the music stops, the players are untied and look at the collected items. The one who has the most New Year's items wins. The game can be played 2 times with different players.

Decorate the Christmas tree

Children form 2 teams. Near each team, the leader places a box with unbreakable Christmas tree decorations. At a distance from the teams there is a small decorated artificial Christmas tree. The first players take one toy from the box, run to their team’s Christmas tree, hang the toy and come back - and so on until the last player. The first team to decorate the Christmas tree wins.

Collect potatoes

Required: baskets according to the number of participants, cubes, marbles, balls - an odd number. Place cubes, marbles and balls on the floor - these will be potatoes.
Each player is given a basket in his hands and blindfolded.
The task is to blindly collect as many “potatoes” as possible and put them in a basket.
The participant who collects the most “potatoes” wins.

Dance or freeze

This competition is a team competition, it is best to conduct it with a large number of participants. Divide the children into two teams and place them in a line opposite each other. Music is played for each team in turn. The players' task is to dance. But the whole team must do one specific movement, and as synchronously as possible. When the music ends, a musical fragment is played for the second team, which dances its movements. Team movements should not be repeated.
The game continues until one of the teams “freezes”, unable to come up with the next move. The “frozen” team is considered a loser. The winners are given a prize (for example, candy or tangerines), and the losing team is given music again so that they can dance and “warm up.”

Find the spruce

This competition is for children who have already started school. If there are a lot of children, divide them into several teams; if not, let everyone play for themselves. Each team or player is given a pen and a piece of paper. In the allotted time, you need to come up with as many words as possible that contain the syllable “fir”: April, drops, blizzard, flute... Five to ten minutes will be enough, if given more time, the children may get bored.
The catch of the game is that most players will only remember words that end in “spruce,” especially if you give them just such an example at the beginning. And only the most perceptive will understand that the syllable “fir” can appear at the beginning or in the middle of a word, for example: gorge, dolphin, spruce forest, slacker, businesslike...
For each word invented, the team (or player) is awarded one point. The one who scores the most points wins. This player (or team) is awarded a sweet prize.

To make the New Year's celebration interesting and joyful, hold a couple of competitions for guests. The article contains entertainment that is suitable for events of various formats.

For the whole family

Guests young and old will be able to take part in family competitions for the New Year 2019. Each game is designed to bring loved ones closer together on the eve of the holiday.

Memory Relay

You will need a symbolic baton. It can be any object, for example, a chocolate bar. The goal of the competition is to spend the outgoing year with kind words and pleasant memories.

A person with a baton in his hands must quickly remember the most wonderful event that happened to him over the past 12 months. He tells the crowd about it. Then he passes the wand to any of those present.
If someone hesitates and cannot quickly remember anything positive, then he is awarded the comic prize “Lucky of the Year 2018”. Among New Year's games and entertainment for the family, this relay race is one of the most heartwarming competitions.

Balloons with wishes

You need to prepare for this entertainment in advance. Write wishes for your household on pieces of paper, then place them inside inflatable balloons. You will also need a hat or cap. Leaves with the names of different parts of the body (elbow, heel, knee) are placed in the headdress.

Guests choose their favorite balls. But they shouldn't just eat them. This must be done with the part of the body that is written on the piece of paper from the hat. As a reward for their efforts, everyone will receive good wishes for the coming year.

New Year's Oscar

The New Year's Oscar is awarded for the best performance in the role of the symbol of the New Year. The mascot of the upcoming holiday is a pig. Everyone has a specific role. One will be a “sad pig”, another will be a “mysterious”, the third will be a “piggy dreaming of rolling in the mud.”

From those who did not want to try on the role of the symbol of the New Year, you can assemble the “academy jury”. All “actors” are given props – toy snouts and ears.

Over the next 15-20 minutes, each player behaves according to their role. At the same time, you can continue to communicate with each other, but this must be done in the manner of the pig that the participant received.

At the end, the jury deliberates and writes the winner's name on paper. The leaflet can be placed in a pre-prepared envelope so that everything is like at a real ceremony. The winner receives a prize for the most artistic pig.

For children

These entertainments will appeal to kids who do not yet go to school and primary school students. All children's competitions are active and aimed at uniting the children.

Snowballs

The competition consists of two parts. The first is making snowballs. The children are divided into two groups and a pile of newspapers is dumped in front of each of them. In a minute, the guys must “blind” them into snowballs.

After the children make “projectiles”, you can move on to the second part of the competition - the accuracy competition. Teams line up in two rows. Colored tape is glued to the floor in front of them. It marks a line that participants must not cross.

A few meters from the markings, baskets are placed - children should aim snowballs there. Time is noted again. Participants one by one approach the “firing line” and throw snowballs into the basket. The team whose catch is greater wins.

Decorating the Christmas tree

Ideally, for this competition you will need two small New Year's trees. But you can show your imagination and choose “Christmas trees” from children. The remaining players are divided into two teams. They are given safe, unbreakable toys on strings. The goal of the competition is to hang as many decorations as possible on the spruce tree in a minute. In this case, the child in the role of a tree should stand motionless.

You can complicate the game by placing “Christmas trees” at a distance of several meters from the teams, so that the participants take turns running up to it with decorations.

Tinsel

Two teams stand opposite each other. Each participant is given tinsel. The competition begins to the New Year's tune. The first player must tie his tinsel around the hand of the second child, and the latter must tie the hand of the third. When it’s the last participant’s turn, he runs to the first and puts his tinsel on his hand.

After this, the children raise their hands up together. The team that does this first wins.

Table

Sometimes you want to have fun without leaving the table. Below are competitions that will give guests a good mood without taking up a lot of energy.

Remember the alphabet

“Remember the Alphabet” is an entertainment that is ideal for that moment when guests have already drunk and eaten, but are still cheerful and cheerful. For this competition you will need filled glasses and a sense of humor.

The presenter says that he forgot the entire alphabet due to alcohol. In order for him to remember it, the guests must take turns making toasts. The first participant begins his speech with the letter A, the second with B, the third with C, and so on in a circle. For example: “Shouldn’t we drink to your health?”, “Be happy in the new year!”, “Money and good luck to everyone.”

At the end, the most original toast is chosen, and the guests drink to the winner.

Song from the hat

For this game you need to write on pieces of paper words on a New Year's theme (winter, blizzard, Snow Maiden, snowflake). The papers are sent to the header.

Guests take turns taking out pieces of paper and singing songs that contain the word they come across. To make it even more fun, you can include karaoke videos from the Internet as an accompaniment.

And again about gifts

For this game you need to prepare a bag with small comic gifts. The presenter turns to the guest sitting on the left and says: “I have wanted to give you this thing for so long, but I couldn’t give it to you because of...”. Here you need to come up with a funny reason, for example, “I myself was sorry to part with this item” or “this thing cost a fortune.”

The host then blindly pulls out a gift and hands it to the guest. After this, the person who received the gift takes the bag and makes a speech for his neighbor on the left. The more ridiculous the reason why the gift was not given, the merrier.

For adults

Competitions for adults require the use of strong drinks. However, there is also fun non-alcoholic entertainment.

Drink and snack

Guests are given two pieces of paper. One sticker says “drink”, the other says “snack”. Everyone must supplement the first piece of paper with an object from which to drink, for example: “Drink from the palm of the neighbor on the right” or “drink from the pan.”

On the second piece of paper, guests write what the person will have as a snack: “salt”, “sniff with hair”. The stickers are then placed in two hats or boxes and taken turns being pulled blindly.

Kinosecret

An A4 sheet is hung on the wall. One person names another character from any New Year's movie and hands a marker. The player will have to explain to the guests who they wished for him using a drawing. Artistic skills do not play any role here. The one who guessed the hero first becomes the explainer, as in the famous game “Crocodile”.

Festive cocktail

For this game, the participant is blindfolded with thick cloth. After a person “loses his sight,” one of the guests prepares a cocktail for him from any drinks that are on the table. The miracle potion is then given to the player to try. He must determine what components his New Year's cocktail consists of.

Guests write down his result, for example, “Igor - guessed 3 out of 5.” Then the same thing is done with the next participant. The one who correctly names all the ingredients wins. The current prize in this competition will be a hangover pill.

For a group of adults who don't drink, you can hold a similar competition, in which instead of a cocktail, the participants are given a sandwich. It can include any food that is on the table.

We are holding a lottery

The main condition for the lottery for the New Year 2019 is that it is win-win. On this holiday, everyone should go home with gifts and a good mood. Therefore, you need to know the exact number of guests in advance. Just in case, you can prepare two or three more presents.

You have to prepare not only gifts, but also lottery tickets. Since the year of the pig is coming, you can download a funny image of a pig from the Internet and print out many copies of it. Place numbers on the pictures according to the number of participants.

You can simply hand over tickets to guests before the start of the party. But it’s more interesting if you show your imagination. For example, attach pictures with numbers under the chairs. If the company is small, then you can call guests one by one to the center of the hall and ask them to sing a song, tell a poem or an anecdote. As a reward for the action, the person dips his hand into the ticket hat and pulls out his lucky pig.

Any little thing can be used as prizes - from a pin to a chocolate bar. It will be very funny if you accompany the presentation of a gift with a comic couplet. For example: “To be like in the picture all year round, get ascorbic acid!”

For schoolchildren

Competitions for schoolchildren are suitable for students of any age. Both fifth-graders and graduates usually enjoy running and jumping.

Whoever managed it sat down

The chair game is a timeless classic for schoolchildren. Before the entertainment begins, count the number of participants. Chairs must be placed one number less. Children run around them to cheerful New Year's music. As soon as the melody turns off, the guys must sit on the chairs. The one who does not have enough space is eliminated. Despite the fact that this game has been around for many years, it always causes a lot of excitement among teenagers.

Jump into the New Year

The competition is based on an old German tradition. On New Year's Eve in Germany it is customary to stand on a chair and jump from it. It is believed that the further you jump, the happier you will be over the next 12 months. To avoid injury, you can avoid chairs. The winner is the one who jumps the farthest.

Hand to hand

All players are divided into pairs. The presenter turns on fiery music, to which the guys begin to jump and dance. During the fun, all couples must separate and mix. Then the music stops abruptly, the presenter shouts: “Hand to hand!” Everyone must quickly find their partner and touch hands. Whoever is last is eliminated. In each round, the presenter gives different tasks: “Heel to heel”, “forehead to forehead”.

For the New Year 2019, the game can be complicated. To do this, you will need themed items, such as snowflakes made of cardboard, toy piglets, and candies in the form of Santa Claus. They must be placed in the room where the holiday is taking place. In the next round, the presenter announces: “Snowflake to snowflake,” after which everyone must take a snowflake and touch them. The last one to find the item is eliminated.

For youth

Below are several cool competitions that are perfect for celebrating the New Year in the company of young people.

Unloading the Christmas tree

Two volunteers are selected who will have to remove candies from the Christmas trees with their eyes closed. And all the other guests act as the New Year's tree. They are lined up and candy is attached to each one. You can do this using clothespins. Participants are blindfolded, given a basket and taken to different ends of the “guest tree.” On command, players begin by touch to remove candy from people and put it in their basket. The competition ends when the participants collide with each other in the middle. Whoever has the most candies wins.

Firecrackers and girls

At the beginning of the holiday, all the boys are given a cracker. Then the rules of the competition are announced. Throughout the evening, each guy must "blow up" his firecracker without warning. And the girls, hearing the next “bang-bang,” jump into the arms of any young man standing next to them. Anyone who gets confused or forgets about the competition will have to complete some fun task from the guests.

Tangerines of Friendship

The guests are divided into two teams and lined up. You need to prepare two bowls of tangerines and two large empty plates. The first participant takes the tangerine with his teeth and passes it to the other person’s mouth. The last player must place the tangerine on the plate. You can't help yourself with your hands. The team that manages to collect the most citrus fruits in two minutes wins. Don't forget to wash the tangerines before the competition.

For a corporate event

Competitions for corporate parties include both outdoor games and entertainment that can be arranged without leaving the table.

Decorating the Christmas tree

Participants in the competition will have to blindly decorate a Christmas tree. But before you hang the toy on the tree, you still need to find it. Everyone who wants to is taken to the center and given a piece of jewelry. Then the guests are blindfolded and forced to spin around their axis several times.

After this, everyone begins to move forward until they come across some object or living person. The participant must hang his toy on the obstacle he encounters. The one who is lucky enough to stumble upon the Christmas tree wins. While moving, you cannot change its direction. Another prize is given to the player who “found” the most original place for his toy.

Dance Marathon

For this competition we will have to select several diverse musical cuts. Participants are divided into pairs. Each of them will have to perform a dance to music that absolutely does not correspond to it. For example, the presenter announces: “The first couple is dancing Lezginka.” And the song “The color of mood is blue” sounds.

The more inappropriate dance and music turn out to be for each other, the merrier. As tasks, you can recall ancient genres such as minuet and waltz.

Promises

Everyone is given stickers on which guests write three things they will definitely do in the coming year. These leaves are then rolled up and thrown into the hat, where they are mixed. After that, each guest blindly draws a promise and reads it out loud. Funny coincidences cannot be avoided.

You can complicate the entertainment so that the one who reads “his” promise guesses who it actually belongs to.

Funny competitions

In the entertainment presented below, everyone will be able to show their artistry and imagination. All competitions are aimed at making others laugh and having a good laugh.

New Year's crocodile

To play the festive crocodile, you need to prepare a lot of stickers with the names of New Year's films. For example, “Love Actually”, “Irony of Fate”, “Carnival Night”. The first player draws a piece of paper at random. The participant must perform such a pantomime so that the other guests can guess the name of the film.

The first one to name the correct answer is the next to draw a leaf from the hat. At the end, you can give out a prize for the most artistic performance.

Snowman T-shirt

Prepare three large men's T-shirts. Before the start of the holiday, they need to be rolled up and placed in the freezer. Select three men to participate in the competition. They get to wear these T-shirts. Whoever does it the fastest wins. Considering the condition of the T-shirts from the freezer, the task ahead will not be easy.

Read my lips

Two players are given a pair of headphones that play music. The volume should be at such a level that people cannot hear each other. Then one player is given cards with questions about the holiday. For example: “How much do you usually drink on New Year’s Eve?” or “What do you like to do on the first of January?”

The second participant should try to understand the question being asked and answer it as accurately as possible. After a few minutes, the question cards are passed to the other pair of players. Those who answer the most questions correctly win.

For relaxed guests

Not every company likes noisy or lively competitions. The next three entertainments are just for those who like calm but fun games.

Funny fortune telling

On pieces of paper, guests write questions about what awaits them in the coming year. The stickers are then rolled up and thrown into the hat. After this, guests are given new pieces of paper on which they need to write answers, for example: “this will definitely happen” or “you’ll have to wait another year.” They are thrown into another hat.

Guests take turns pulling leaves from first one, then from another headdress and read out what they came across. The more creative the questions and answers, the merrier.

A Christmas Story

During this entertainment, guests will feel like real writers. Everyone is given 8-10 pieces of paper on which they need to write different words.

Half of them should be related to the New Year, and the other part should be an unlimited flight of fancy. Then all the leaves are placed in a hat and mixed thoroughly.

The first participant pulls out two or three pieces of paper. He says: “One New Year’s Eve...”. And then he needs to come up with the beginning of a story using the words that he came across.

The next person also pulls out a few pieces of paper. His task is to continue the story with his own words. Typically, such collective stories take on plot twists that are more interesting than those in Hollywood blockbusters.
