Competition "Take a Prize!"

A package with a prize is placed on the chair. Around the chair are the contestants. The host reads the poem "One, two, three!". Those who do not try to grab the prize in a timely manner are eliminated from the competition.

I will tell you a story
In half a dozen phrases.
I'll just say the word "three"
Get your prize now!
Once we caught a pike
Gutted, but inside
Small fish counted
And not one, but TWO.
Dreaming boy hardened
Become an Olympic champion
Look, do not be cunning at the start,
And wait for the command one, two, SEVEN.
When you want to remember poetry
They do not bison until late at night,
And repeat them to yourself
One, another, and better FIVE!
Newly train at the station
I had to wait THREE hours.
But why didn’t you take the prize, friends,
When was the opportunity to take?

Competition "Theatrical"

Wishing contestants are given cards with a task that they perform without preparation. The prize is fruit. You need to walk in front of the tables like:

a woman with heavy bags;
a girl in a tight skirt with high heels;
sentry guarding the food warehouse;
an infant who has just learned to walk;
Alla Pugacheva during the performance of the song.

"Jolly Nonsense"

The host has two sets of strips of paper. In the left hand - questions, in the right - answers. The host goes around the tables, playing alternately "blindly" pull out either the question (read aloud) or the answer. It turns out to be a funny joke.

Sample questions:

Do you read other people's letters?
Are you sleeping well?
Do you listen to other people's conversations?
Do you break dishes out of anger?
Can you put a pig on a buddy?
Do you write anonymously?
Do you spread gossip?
Do you have a habit of promising more than you can?
Would you like to get married?
Are you intrusive and rude in your actions?

Sample answers:

This is my favorite activity;
Occasionally, for fun;
Only on summer nights;
When the wallet is empty;
Only without witnesses;
Only if it is not related to material costs;
Especially in a strange house;
This is my old dream;
No, I am a very shy person;
I never turn down an opportunity like this.

Christmas tree jokes

All participants take off "their" pieces of paper (painted in certain colors) from the Christmas tree. Jokes can be taken as a prediction or as a joke.

Dear parents! Do you want grandchildren?
"To the mother-in-law closer - the stomach is fuller, further from the mother-in-law - love for her is stronger ..."
There can only be 2 opinions in a family: one is the wife, the other is wrong!
It is best to give useful gifts. Wife to her husband - handkerchiefs, and he gave her a mink coat.
A compliment doubles a woman's performance.
I will take on not an easy task -
I will spend the family budget economically.
There are no secrets from me in cooking, I will cook both dinner and lunch!
Between worries, between chores.
I will try my best to lie on the couch.
We all, sometimes, go somewhere,
We go, we swim, we fly like birds,
Where there is an unfamiliar shore ...
The road to the border awaits you.
And this month you will devote to art -
Go to the theatre, ballet and opera!
To be a beauty for you tomorrow morning, an asterisk, a berry, a kitty, a fish, but as soon as you give it to beer, you will become a wife again.

"Candy" on a string

A thread with "sweets" hanging on it is stretched across the whole room. Each blindfolded participant cuts off five candies for himself. If the gifts got "to the wrong address", then it is possible, with the consent of both participants, to exchange.

Should be happy in abundance
From the lottery you now -
Three wonderful postcards
Prolottery for you.
To always be beautiful, hurry up to get the cream.
You listen to the advice: fruits are the best diet.
And here is an elegant, fragrant, delicious, chocolate cheese.
If suddenly the child cries, you must (you must) appease him. With a rattle you will jump and make you shut up.
To always be neat toothpaste, hurry up to get it.
Your winnings are a little original - you got a baby nipple.
If you suddenly ask what year has now come, we will not answer you a word and give you a rooster.
You got the main prize, get and share (chocolate).
Every day you look younger, so you look in the mirror more often.
Never be discouraged with such a companion, and wipe any place with a washcloth in a hot bath.
On the ticket, by chance, you got this tea.
To keep your face and your sock clean, a piece of fragrant soap got on the ticket.
Get a balloon, fly into space to the stars.
You look great: both clothes and hairstyle, and as a reward, your prize did not fall in vain - a comb.
Dishwasher. (mesh for washing dishes)
Mercedes car. (Children's car)
The garbage collector is cotton. (Handkerchief)
Your win is quite rare, you got a spruce branch; she will make you, no doubt, participate in gardening.
Get it, hurry up, you have a notebook: write poetry.

Guess the proverb

The facilitator reads out a simple explanation of the proverb and offers to name it herself.

They don’t discuss a gift, they accept what they give ... (They don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.)
You need to learn throughout your life, every day brings new knowledge, knowledge is endless. (Live and learn!)
If you have started something, bring it to the end, even if it is difficult to do it! (I took hold of the tug, don't say that it's not hefty!)
Trouble, misfortune usually happen where something is unreliable, fragile. (Where it is thin, it breaks there.)
How you treat others is how you will be treated. (As it comes around, it will respond.)
Don't take on things you don't know. (Not knowing the ford, do not poke your head into the water.)

What is it?

The same but with animals.

"Repetition is the mother of learning!" - parrot
"Hold your pocket wider!" - kangaroo
"Tears of sorrow will not help!" - crocodile
"There is safety in numbers!" - locust
"Go toe to toe" - caterpillar

"Field of Dreams"

The facilitator reads the question and names the number of letters in the word. For each word guessed, players receive a prize (a small answer symbol).

Name and surname of an elderly man. Ladies' man, dressed in Winter 2005 fashion (8 letters). Answer: Santa Claus.
A dairy product that maintains the temperature in winter, but is more often consumed in summer (9 letters). Answer: ice cream.
A tree whose absence of leaves speaks of its special purpose (4 letters). Answer: tree.
Fashion model with a blond braid, always participating in the winter holidays. Appears always accompanied by an elderly sponsor (10 letters). Answer: Snow Maiden.
The location of the long-awaited joy for people who survived until winter. It has always been a symbol under a tree without leaves (5 letters). Answer: bag.
A liquid that is taken internally with great joy (10 letters). Answer: champagne.

And finally...

A poster is posted with phrases that must be continued. Everyone participates.

Santa Claus would not have a price if ... (he came every day)
That snowdrift is bad, which does not dream of becoming ... (ice cream)
A real tree about an artificial one ... ("Solid silicone, and nothing more.")
If Santa Claus is on fire at work, then ... (it means the Snow Maiden is on maternity leave.)
Do not close your mouth to those who ... (do not deserve this.)
In terms of the amount of paper per capita, we occupy one of the last places in the world and the first ... (in terms of the number of brilliant literary works.)

Evgenia Trussenkova

Very soon a magical holiday - the New Year and I decided to find an interesting new year script for our family. As usual, this holiday was rather boring for us. Basically it was a feast and gifts.

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

Preparing for New Year's Eve

1. We decorate the room with snowflakes, balls, garlands, rain. A mandatory attribute is a Christmas tree with lights and Christmas decorations.

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

3. Hang a piece of 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 their wish on a piece of paper and put it in this box. For example, “in the coming year I will become the manager of the company”, “I will go to a fitness club” and more. Dreaming is a pleasant thing ... Children can draw their desires. Then this casket will need to be sealed and handed over to the one who will keep it for a whole year and the next year will open it and read out what they wished, and who had their wishes fulfilled.

5. For competitions and games, prepare: souvenirs for winners in competitions, small bags, a marker, adhesive tape, pens for all guests, felt-tip pens, puzzle cards, snowflakes or circles, drawing paper with drawings of Santa Claus, Snowman and Snow Maiden and their plasticine noses or paper, bags of clothes, balloons, rope with prizes, scissors, Christmas 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 a fairy tale, pieces of paper, a bottle and a cheerful mood :-).

Contests and games for the New Year for children

1. Snowflakes
Cut out about 50 pieces of snowflakes (circles are possible) and scatter them on the floor, and give each child a bag. To the New Year's music, arrange snow collection for the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus. The winner is the one who has the most Christmas snowflakes.

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

3. The most dexterous
Arrange various New Year's items on the floor (there should be not as many as children, but one less). All children walk in a circle to the music, when the music stops, everyone must grab any object. Whoever did not get anything, he leaves the game for a while. The number of items decreases each time by one. The smartest one wins.

4. Decorate the Christmas tree
Children are given leaflets with a painted Christmas tree. They must draw as many New Year's toys as possible in 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 items. He needs to feel by touch to determine what kind of object it is. You can arrange a competition - who guessed the most items.

6. Children's disco
Make a selection of children's Christmas songs. Children themselves can dance, but not for long. So I picked up a few dance games.

1) a dancer in a hat;
The host takes a hat (the headdress of Santa Claus is best) and announces the rules of the game: the one on whom he puts the hat on dances, and the rest just clap their hands. So the host puts this hat on one or the other baby. And you can wear it to adults ... >

2) animal dance;
The host invites children to dance like elephants, bears, bunnies, horses, chanterelles, butterflies, toads, etc. You can distribute masks of these animals to children. That will be much more fun.

3) dance with a task;
Everyone is dancing, and when the music stops, a certain action must be performed. 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 object. The host turns off the music and the one who has this item in his hands at that moment is out. The winner is the one who is the last to remain on the dance floor.

6. Different Christmas trees
The host tells that different Christmas trees grow in the forest, both low, and wide, and high, and thin, and suggests playing a game for attention.
The facilitator explains the rules of the game:
If I say;
"high" - raise your hands up;
"low" - lower your hands and sit down;
"wide" - spread your arms as wide as possible;
"thin" - bring your hands together as narrowly as possible.
The host plays with the children, trying to confuse them.

7. Christmas puzzles
Find any old Christmas cards (or download from the Internet) and cut them into several pieces (the older the child, the more pieces you get). Have the children put these fun pictures together.

Contests for the New Year for adults

1. What kind of company we are
The facilitator has a list of funny 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 facilitator reads the questions and deciphers all the answers, depending on which number each participant pulled out. Let the children draw the number too. It will be very funny!
See the list of questions and answers at the end of the article.

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

3. Inflate balloons
This contest is for dads or moms with kids. Place a bag of balloons in the middle of the room. Dads or moms sit around the perimeter, and the children, in the course of inflating 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 all the participants of the last competition inflated, markers and adhesive tape. Participants must make a snowman out of balls. Children will give balloons to their parents and color the resulting New Year's hero with a marker. Don't forget to turn on fun music!

5. Funny noses
On a piece of drawing paper, draw a Snow Maiden, Santa Claus and a Snowman, but without a nose. Blind noses from plasticine or cut out cardboard noses and ask the participants of the competition to attach the nose to our fairy-tale heroes in turn with their eyes closed. Ask the children to play this game. Just don't help, let them express themselves!

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

7. Songs about winter
The guests take turns calling 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 little ducklings”, “sing a song” and so on. Then all these pieces of paper are rolled up and put into any bottle. Everyone sits in a circle and starts playing spin the bottle, but the rules here are as follows: whoever shows the neck of the bottle, he 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 played enough ... It's time to call Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. It would be nice if someone could change clothes, at least in Santa Claus. It would be great.

So our Grandfather Frost will listen to poems and songs performed by children and, of course, give them gifts. If there is no such possibility - to “invite” Santa Claus, then promise the children that he will come at night and will definitely leave gifts for them under the Christmas tree. After all, they played so wonderfully ...

The game "What kind of company are we"

As promised above, I share with you a fun game for adults at the table "What kind of company are we." This game can be played during various holidays. Great fun and uplifting.

Prepare a bag with numbers from 1 to 20 in advance and print out a list of questions and answers to them.

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

And then the herring comfortably hidden under a vegetable coat, fragrant oranges and the "nail" of the New Year's banquet - His Majesty, Olivier's salad, flaunt on a festively served table next to luxurious red caviar sandwiches.

Children's champagne and adult martini, sweets and birthday cake. And it's all New Years?!

Oh no! New Year - for the whole family, it's not just the distribution of "earrings to all sisters" (gifts) and the clink of glasses with the last blow of the Chimes.

New Year is not just sparkling-hissing sparklers, the roar of firecrackers and ... mass gluttony. The New Year is, first of all, fun - with all my heart, the laughter of each family member - from three to one hundred and three!

But in order for this favorite holiday to really turn into a carnival of laughter and joy and be remembered for a whole year (at least), you don’t need to have a hundred-meter room at all.

At a family holiday, there is no place for other people's uncles - aunts animators, boys "Grandfather Frosts" and their sexy granddaughters.

In a small room, in a warm homely atmosphere, you can unforgettably spend this wonderful holiday.

Truly light (albeit a night one), and warm (even a winter one).

And for this, it will be necessary not only to take care in advance what and how much to buy for the table, but, above all, to think over a “cultural program”.

Not with songs (alas, today they don’t sing at the table), and not even with dances (where to “disperse” on three meters of free space?), But with daringly fun contests for the New Year.

Here's the first competition for you - conduct a Test for knowledge of New Year's traditions of different countries.

How to become Santa Claus

So, for starters, having abandoned 15 minutes, but at the same time at the price of half a salary, the services of branded or hacky Santa Clauses, you still have to find a replacement for them.

After all, all family members are not even averse to receiving gifts from the hands of an adored magical old man even on New Year's Eve.

To do this, just buy the remnants of red matter (satin or rayon) in the store and sew an amazing fur coat. And a hat for her.

Embroider the New Year's Santa Claus outfit with plastic snowflakes, rain and pieces of cotton wool (as on royal ermine coats). From cotton wool, make a beard and eyebrows.

Every next year, slightly modify this “outfit” with decor so that none of the kids suspect that Santa Claus is always in the same red sheepskin coat.

By the way, the remnants of fabric are usually mere pennies. And if you don’t sew yourself, ask your friends to help you.

So, the costume is ready. Now dad or grandfather (although mom can speak in a bass voice) should enter in the first minutes of the New Year and congratulate all household members with gifts.

Just don’t get into trouble, so that it doesn’t happen like in a nursery rhyme: “... And daddy’s eyes ...”. To do this, use women's cosmetics, wadded eyebrows, beards and mustaches.

By the way, be sure to sew red mittens: the kids can easily “figure out” the home false Santa Claus by hand!

Competitive fun, giving a New Year's mood

After congratulations and a New Year's dinner, it's time to start holding New Year's contests.

Fun for everyone and funny for everyone.

But what is a competition without awards? They also need to be taken care of. These can be inflatable balloons, figures on magnets, crackers, sparklers and other cheap little things.

What matters here is not the value, but the prize itself.

So, now let's pick up family New Year's fun.

Competition for the New Year No. 1 - who's who

When Santa Claus congratulated and left, (wash himself and turn into dad or grandfather), the rest of the family at this time come up with a funny story, to whom and how he went. And when everyone is at the same table again, it's time to choose the "table" Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.

To do this, in empty capsules from kinders or matchboxes pasted over with colored paper (and you need to do this with children long before the New Year), put papers with the role of each household.

It can even be 8 snowflakes, Snowman, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden.

Put all the forfeits in a hat and let everyone choose who to become on New Year's Eve.

Further, depending on who became who, pin the plastic snowflakes to the hair with invisibility (it is especially interesting when the boys and dad have such decorations), and make the Snowman out of cardboard and also pin it to the hair.

Well, as for the Snow Maiden, for example, for a 60-year-old grandmother, put a children's plastic diadem or a kokoshnik made by yourself on your head.

Santa Claus is a small red cap.

Competition for the New Year No. 2 - hello, Koza-Dereza

Since the coming year is the year of the Goat, why shouldn't everyone who is well on their feet depict this cute little animal in turn?

Yes, no matter how, but with a beautiful goat bleating? Isn't it fun to see a grandfather goat or a granddaughter goat? Don't forget to give the winner a cute bell on a bright ribbon as a gift, which will become a "New Year's medal" for artistry.

Competition for the New Year No. 3 - grab it

In kindergarten, about a dozen children usually run around the Christmas tree to the music, who must sit on 9 chairs during a pause. But you don’t have a kindergarten in your house, and the tree, most likely, is in the corner.

Don't be discouraged by the lack of "running" space. Stock up on New Year's props in advance: wigs, caps, glasses, noses, etc. It would be nice to do everything with the kids in advance, even if they don't know why this is necessary.

And then, on New Year's Eve, lay out your hand-made items on a tray or chair.

All, but exactly one piece less than family members.

Someone alone should sing a New Year's song, and let all the participants get ready to grab something faster than others and put something on themselves.

And while everyone, with laughter and squeals, grabs everything at hand, the prize goes to ... the loser.

New Year's contest number 4 - funny snowman

While other contests for the New Year are taking place, put a couple of blocks of plasticine on a plate and leave the dishes on the battery. For the competition you will need softened plasticine. And then two participants sit shoulder to shoulder, and ... sculpt a snowman.

But not each separately, but becoming "one whole" - one uses only the right, and the other - the left hand.

Even more fun when the participants sit hugging each other. Oh, this is not an easy job - to roll up three different-sized balls, and even a cap, eyes and a carrot nose!

Pairs should be of different ages: small - old.

As an exception, you can connect dad and mom. And the one who first piles the New Year's man will win.

All family members make a snowman in pairs. The main prize will go to the one who has it the most ... awkward.

Competition for the New Year No. 5 - come on, “roll up”

Two boxes (for example, from shoes) are full of sweets and prizes.

A ribbon (up to 3 m) is tied to each, and its other end is attached to a pencil.

Participants stand side by side and at the same time begin to wind the ribbon around the pencil. The winner is the one who reaches the box first, and everyone chooses a prize to their liking.

For adults (especially men), prepare a "Christmas box" with ... a dumbbell, on top of which you throw gifts.

Competition for the New Year No. 7 - come on, Christmas tree, dress up

Split into two teams or pairs.

Take the usual clothespins and ... New Year's toys (borrow them for a while at the Christmas tree). Choose who to be the Christmas tree.

Of course, the menu and New Year's table setting are very important points, but if you plan a fun new year, then you can't do without entertainment! We have prepared for you the 20 best New Year's games that will appeal not only to children, but also to adults.

#1 Guess how many

For this competition, you will have to prepare in advance. You will need a container inside of which a number of identical items will be placed (for example, a basket of tangerines). The container should be in the most visible place so that each of the guests can carefully examine and evaluate it. The task of each guest is to guess how many items are in the container. You will also need to prepare a box where each of the guests will throw a piece of paper with their guess and signature. The winner is the one who indicated the number closest to the result.

#2 Memories

The game is suitable for children from 6 years old. You will need 10 to 20 different items. All participants are called to the table on which the objects are laid out, and for one minute they carefully study them. You can only study with your eyes. Then the objects are covered with a towel, and the participants are given a piece of paper and a pen each. The task of each player is to write as many items as possible from those that were on the table.

#3 Sticker Stalker

The game is suitable for a large company. At the beginning of the holiday, each participant in the event is given 10 sticker tags, which he must stick to other guests throughout the evening. The main condition: the one to whom you are going to stick the tag should not suspect anything. If you are unlucky and the victim discovers your plans, then you become a victim, and the one who caught you can openly stick one of his tags on you! The winner is the one who gets rid of the tags issued at the beginning of the holiday before the rest.

#4 Hot potato with camera

Suitable for a large company. All guests must gather in one place. To the music, everyone passes a camera to their neighbor. The moment the music stops, the person holding the camera must take a funny selfie and exit the game. The one whose camera it is wins, because now you have a whole bunch of funny photos of friends!

#5 Get your hat off

Ideal for large companies. The essence of the game is that each guest must have a hat. It is better to prepare in advance and buy (make) paper caps for each guest. The essence of the game is that at the beginning of the evening everyone puts on their caps together. The party hat must be removed, but this must not be done before the host (party host) removes the hat. You take off your hat somewhere in the middle of the evening. Attentive guests will notice, but the one who is busy telling his interesting last year's stories is likely to become a loser, because he will be the last one to take off his hat, if he takes off at all!

#6 Who am I?

Great game for the whole family. Each player is given cards with the names of celebrities, fairy-tale characters, writers or other people known in your environment. Each participant cannot read his own card, but must stick it on his forehead. When asking leading questions to a neighbor, to which he can only answer “Yes” or “No”, you need to determine who you are according to the inscription on the card.

#7 Explain to me

Game for all age groups. You will have to prepare in advance. You will need a few with simple words and a stopwatch. Participants should be divided into pairs. Each pair is given a piece of paper with words. One person from the pair reads the words and tries to explain them to his partner without using the name of this word and cognates. For everything about everything, each team has a minute. The winner is the one who can explain the most words in a minute.

#8 Broken phone, pictures only

Suitable for all age groups. You will need several participants (at least 5-7 people). Each is given a piece of paper and a pen. On command, each participant writes a proposal on their piece of paper. Anything that comes to his mind. When the sentences are written, the sheet is given to the neighbor on the left. Now you have a sheet of paper on which your neighbor's proposal is written. Your task is to illustrate this sentence. When everything is ready, you wrap up the offer so that the neighbor on the left gets a piece of paper with only your drawing. Now the task is to describe in words what you see in the picture. This is repeated until the sheet with your first sentence returns to you. At the end, you will have an equal number of player sheets with mind-blowing stories in pictures and descriptions! It's funny to read what was in the first sentence and how the development of thought went!

#9 Crocodile

Of course, you should not ignore the game "Crocodile". For those who do not know or do not remember the rules: the essence of the game is that one person explains to the others the word he has guessed with the help of gestures. It will be symbolic to only think of words related to the New Year theme. In addition, if only people who are well acquainted with each other are present at the holiday, you can think of whole life situations that all participants in the event are well aware of. For example, if you are celebrating the New Year with work colleagues, it is quite logical to think of some significant event for you, say, the celebration of last year's corporate party, when Irina Petrovna perfectly danced a striptease.

#10 Guess the word

Another exciting game for New Year's Eve, in which all guests can take part. The essence of the game is that guests need to guess the word or name only by consonants. You will have to prepare in advance by choosing a topic and preparing several options for words.

Now the task of each player is to guess whose answer was read out.

#14 Snowflake racing

If a large number of children are expected at the New Year's party, then you should pay attention to outdoor games. Divide the guys into teams, each team is given a large paper snowflake.

When a snowflake lies on your head, you cannot touch it with your hands.

A great game not only for children but also for adults. You will need cookies, so be prepared ahead of time. A cookie is placed on each participant's forehead. The task is to move the cookie into the mouth without hands.

The cardboard cylinder is placed vertically on the table, a ruler is placed on top. The task of each team is to place as many Christmas balls on the line as possible so as not to disturb the balance. You will have to work harmoniously, because if you hang the ball on only one side, the balance will be disturbed!

#19 Unpack the gift

You can entertain guests at the New Year's party with another entertaining contest: who will unpack the gift faster. You will have to prepare a well-wrapped gift and ski gloves in advance. The task of the participants in ski gloves is to open the gift. The smaller the box, the merrier!
