Comic contests for the new year. Competitions and games for the new year for the company and the whole family
And so, it's time to talk about the new year. In fact, it's time to start preparing for this holiday. And for this, you need new contests for the New Year 2017 and New Year's games and entertainment to make you and your guests have fun. For children and families, such competitions are also suitable and everyone will have fun. Ready to start? Let's see what we have new.
Competition is a lucky egg.
For the competition, you need to prepare empty barrels from Kinder Surprise toys in advance. 32 of these kegs will suffice. Divide the kegs into 4 groups of 8 each. You also need to write numbers on pieces of paper: 2, 0, 1, 7. Write each number 8 times and put all the pieces of paper in different barrels. It turns out that you have only 32 barrels and 8 of them with the same numbers.
We put all the kegs on a tray and mix. The players leave. For example, 4 people. At the leader's command, they must take one keg and open it. Take out a piece of paper with a number and put it near you. Then they immediately take the second barrel and open it. If there is another number, then they take the next keg. If the barrel has the same number as it already has, then put the piece of paper back into the barrel, close it and put it on the tray. And take another barrel. The essence of the game is who can be the first to find all four numbers to get the name of the year: 2017.
As you understand, if the number in the keg is the same as it already is, then the keg is put back on the tray. Participants should not have the same numbers.
Well, whoever collected 2017 first gets a gift.
Competition is the tail of a rooster.
Everyone knows this competition, but only in a different version. For the competition, you need a drawing of a rooster, but without a tail. And you also need to make a tail, which will have to be attached to the rooster.
Glue a picture of a rooster on the wall. We blindfold the participant, and give the tail in our hands. We spin the participant, and he should reach the rooster and attach his tail. Whoever can do it more accurately wins.
Competition - who will eat first.
Everyone has seen how roosters eat. They lean towards the food and peck at it. In this competition, we will do the same, only with evemdems chocolates.
3-5 participants come out. Everyone has a plate and there are 15 evemdems chocolates on the plates. Participants hold their hands behind their backs. At the command of the leader, they lean over the plates and take a chocolate bar with the help of their tongue. Whoever eats all their chocolate the fastest in this way wins.
Competition - let's sing.
Everyone knows that roosters sing beautifully. Especially in the morning. In this competition we will almost sing. And to be more precise, we will pronounce tongue twisters. Therefore, you need to prepare funny and funny tongue twisters in advance.
Participants take the stage. They are all given leaflets with one tongue twister. They take turns reading it. Then the participants are asked to put sweets in their mouths and repeat the tongue twister again with their mouths full.
Whoever does the best or funniest of all wins.
Competition - let's sing 2.
And in this competition we will sing for real.
Those who wish come out and they are given texts of cheerful New Year's songs. At first they sing them just like that. And then they give them slices of lemon and they put them in their mouths! And so they have to sing songs. Let's see how much fun will be in their voice.
New Year is primarily a family holiday, and if you plan to celebrate it with an adult company, it would be nice if you celebrate it with your children first. New Year's contests in 2017 should certainly bring into play all participants in the celebration.
So, first, competitions and entertainment for children, and after they go to bed, adults can also have fun, celebrating the main holiday.
Competitions and entertainment for children on New Year's Eve
No matter how old the children are, they will all play games with you, laugh and rejoice. Games with their parents should remain in their memory, and they will carry this feeling of a holiday through the years and give it to their children.
New Year's Eve in the style of "Spy Games"
Children from 6 to 16 years old will be happy to take part in the plot of this game. And if you come up with costumes for spy children, then immersion in the topic will be maximum. Prepare theme music for the background, attributes such as watches, cameras with flashes, hats, long coats, distribute to the children. Let them know that they are in a spy school where the very best are being tested. Prepare the tokens that you will distribute for passing each competition. Arrange a photo shoot and start the contests.
The first competition is accuracy!
For this you need darts. Children take turns throwing darts, it is better to use a game with magnets - safety first of all. The most accurate is given a token.
The second competition is to find the trail of the criminal!
Come up with a story where the criminal is one of the adults, he robbed a bank and left evidence behind him. It can be a person's personal items. Further, according to the traces left, a pocket tightly stuffed with money, they must find the criminal. The winner receives a token.
The third contest is disguise!
Children are divided into two groups. With the help of parents' clothes, cosmetics and wigs, scarves, scarves, they dress one of the group. And two spies in disguise enter the room with the adults. They must guess which of the children under the make-up and the mountain of clothes is now standing in front of them. The one who is recognized the longest is the winner, and, therefore, the whole group receives the tokens.
The fourth contest is the secret weapon that the bandits have hidden!
This is a competition - a walker, a quest, where finding one clue leads to the next. Let's say each team is given a letter, which describes that the key to the solution lies in the wettest place in the house. It can be a bathroom, an aquarium, a sink in the kitchen. There they can find the candy, open the wrapper and find the next note, which says that the next key is the coldest place in the house. No doubt it's a refrigerator or a balcony. And so on. As a result, the weapon can be a cake, which they must eat to disable the weapon.
At the end of the game, which can have an unlimited number of contests, all participants are given diplomas and a spy card with a personal photo. You can look for New Year's gifts, a cat that was stolen by intruders, or mom's magic glove.
Honest Answers
This is a game that will make even the smallest, but already self-confident children laugh. All you need is paper and imagination. On half of the pieces of paper, write questions like:
Is it true that you still wear diapers?
Do you have five dogs at home?
Do you walk with Carlson at night?
· Do you have Narnia in your closet?
Harry Potter - your second face?
Answers should be general in order to fit any question. Write them down and put them separately. Such answers will make even adults laugh:
· Yes, but parents do not suspect it;
· No, I'm still too small for that;
What do you mean, I'm already an adult, and I have completely different interests;
Yes, but this is strictly between us;
The theme can be from movies, cartoons, books. The kids will want to answer a few of these questions, so do three times as many as the contestants - this will keep them sitting still for the duration of the contest.
New Year's games with children on the street
There is nothing better than the opportunity to spend a holiday in nature. And if you have a dacha or a country house, children will appreciate outdoor quests. Searching for treasures, gifts, a lost ski, a scary yeti - this will bring a lot of joy to both adults and children.
Competition of snowmen who look like their parents, competition of the fastest sleds, and colorful ice.
colorful ice- a wonderful children's fun that will develop creativity in the child and decorate the winter yard. Stock up on food coloring, tetra-packs from juice and milk. At home with children in different containers, dilute the paint of different colors in water, pour it into juice boxes and take it out into the cold in a day.
The next day, open the packages and arrange an ice show. Ask your dad to guide the garlands, and place them behind the colored ice cubes. Children who participate in this process remember for a long time the beauty that they personally created!
New Year's entertainment for adults
New Year's Eve is a great opportunity to realize your fantasies, merge with a fairy tale, because adults, just like children, are waiting for miracles and reincarnations. Competitions and entertainment for the New Year 2017 can be in the same topic, like clothes and gifts. Thematic holidays with interesting stories can be held both at home and at corporate parties.
Thousand and One Nights
This theme is wonderful, because after such a holiday there will be good memories and photos. Oriental themes are easily arranged, costumes and competitions for the evening are easily selected.
It is necessary to warn the guests about the uniform, the new name and prepare various contests.
The choice of the padishah
This competition will allow you to choose the main man of the competition. It is better if the owner of the house or the director of the company wins. It is necessary to turn the plot in such a way that the other participants do not remain offended, and give Padishah duties in the future, for his high position.
Men go to the middle of the hall, and they are asked to compose a quatrain or dance an oriental dance. Women choose two winners. And they compete for the title. Since the Padishah, in addition to wisdom, must be sexual, they are offered the following:
A potato tied with a thread is tied to a trouser belt or around the waist. They should hang in front and not reach the floor by 10 centimeters. A box of matches is placed in front of each, and after two meters a strip is drawn, beyond which you need to drive the matchbox, using only the swing of potatoes. Musical accompaniment in the form of the song "Sex bomb" will blow up the hall with applause and laughter.
The padishah will participate in the selection of Scheherazade.
Scheherazade's Choice
Scheherazade, in addition to beauty, must have wisdom and imagination, so the competition will be creative for her. Women within three minutes must come up with an oriental language, write down five sentences where they describe their charms. When they have prepared a record, the leader calls them one by one to the middle of the hall, reads this set of letters unknown to anyone, and the woman shows what she described in her letter.
The padishah chooses two and asks to compete among themselves in the ability to dress beautifully. Women are given several sheets of A4, a stapler - from this they must make a crown. A woman chooses an assistant from the audience. She makes a dress out of a roll of toilet paper.
As soon as they finish, and 2-3 minutes are given for this, the host asks to dance in front of the Padishah in this costume. Under the song "Well, you're so scary ..." the hall applauds standing.
The theme can be developed to incredible proportions.
Modern deaf phones
This game, though old as the world, has a lot of positive. Prepare toilet paper, where everyone in turn will begin to write SMS to the director, or husband, depending on where you celebrate the holiday. You need to write three words. At this point, the connection is terminated, and the next one sees only the last word. He must continue the sentence. It is better if the host writes the beginning. “Honey, today I have…..” or the like. The paper is folded to the last word and the next one writes a continuation. At the end, this scroll is solemnly read.
You can also spend the holiday fun and actively on the street, if you celebrate the New Year outside the city, the new New Year's contests in 2017 will become even wider and more interesting.
Competition "Shashlik"
Participants on the street are divided into two teams, they appoint a commander, he will be the chief cook. All the rest stand in a row near their cook, symbolizing the barbecue on a skewer. They agree in advance how they will roll over, hiss over the lights and be removed from the skewer. The host commands to turn the barbecue over, and both teams play a role, together and harmoniously, the host commands to blow the coals, the host asks to show how the barbecue hisses, and so on. The behavior and artistry of the group is evaluated by outside observers.
The main thing is team play, good mood and activity. On the street with a cup of hot mulled wine, fragrant meat, or at home, at a laid table, you can create a festive mood, you just have to want to!
The traditional and still the best solution would be to spend the New Year in the family circle, where only the most beloved and close people are present. But still, it will be boring just to sit at the table and watch an endless stream of entertainment television programs. It is much more interesting to arrange some exciting New Year's contests for the whole family at home, in which both adults and children can participate on an equal footing. Arranging New Year's competitions for children and adults, you can unite the family even more closely and make this winter holiday even more magical and unforgettable.
"Relay of memories"
Usually, before the New Year's Eve, people see off the outgoing year, summing up its results. It can be turned into a game. Let everyone quickly and briefly name the most pleasant moments that happened to him in the outgoing year, and pass the baton to another. Those who could not quickly pick it up and continue with their memories become the loser, but for this they are awarded the title of “lucky 2017”. At the same time, the manifestation of a sense of humor by the audience is welcome.
"Draw a Dream"
When choosing New Year's contests for a small company, you can pay attention to the following. Its participants are provided with sheets of paper and felt-tip pens, colored crayons or pencils. Then they are blindfolded, and after that they blindly have to 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 winner of the competition receives a small prize, and the rest of the artists have to believe in the realization of their dreams in the coming year.
"Funny drawings"
You need to get a large sheet of corrugated cardboard, in the middle of which make two holes for the hands. Then the participants of the competition should alternately stick their hands into these holes and, not seeing what they are doing, try to draw something, for example, Santa Claus. This fun adult competition for the New Year is won by the one who gets the most beautiful or funny drawing.
"Not a Word of Truth"
The host for this competition must prepare in advance many questions on the New Year theme, for example:
- which plant is more often decorated for the New Year;
- whom it is customary to sculpt from snow;
- what is our most "New Year's" film;
- that on New Year's Eve rushes into the sky;
- whose year is coming according to the Chinese calendar;
- who we see on TV screens last in the outgoing year.
It is possible to include questions on the topic of guest habits or New Year's traditions among different nations in family competitions at the New Year's table. In general, the more questions there are and the more diverse they are, the more interesting it will be for everyone to participate in this competition.
The host should quickly and in a major way ask his questions, and the guests should answer them in such a way that there is not a word of truth. A gaping player who has told the truth is waiting for a fanta - 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 forfeits.
"Christmas Talisman"
Thinking over the script for the New Year in the family, competitions can be chosen with a creative bias. For example, make a New Year's talisman from stationery (adhesive tape, pins, paper clips), plasticine and even food. Each participant in the competition is offered the task of molding a talisman for one of the participants in the feast from the proposed materials 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 explanations on why it is needed.
"Remembering the Alphabet"
Such entertainment can be included in New Year's competitions for an adult company. In the midst of the feast, the host turns to the guests and says that he has taken so much that he has already forgotten the alphabet. On this occasion, he proposes 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 then alphabetically. For example, these:
- Why don't we repeat it for the New Year?
- Be healthy in the coming year!
- To your health!
- Brilliant thoughts for everyone this year!
When the audience is exhausted and the last toast is delivered, everyone should vote for the most successful or cheerful toast and drink to the health of its author.
"Make your favorite cabbage"
Agree that the funniest novelties of adult contests for the New Year should be held with the participation of couples. The essence of entertainment is that one of the couple is blindfolded, after which he must blindly dress up his partner. Here, preliminary preparation is required - 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 for all guests.
You can add competitive principles to this game by having different couples compete in the speed of dressing. And at the end of the competition, until the wonderful outfits are removed, you can pose in front of the camera in them.
"Snowballs"
Such funny New Year's contests for children and adults, like playing snowballs, are especially win-win. Moreover, you can give yourself such pleasure without going out into the street. Before each participant, you need to put a large pile of old newspapers, after which the presenter marks the time in 1 minute, during which the competitors must make as much snow as possible.
There is also a more dynamic version of the game of snowballs, which is designed for accuracy. At the same time, put the participants in a row and put a personal bucket at an equal distance from each. Then, on command, everyone begins to crumple the 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 on their snowflakes with all their might, 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, is 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 contests from our article "Children's Contests for the New Year", then neither adults nor children will be bored.
"Secret Name"
Competitions for the New Year in the family circle 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 Eve, all those gathered can hint to each other on new names. The one who first guesses what his name is now will become the winner of this fun contest.
In the second version of this game, everyone can ask leading questions about their own name, but should receive only one-word answers like “yes” or “no”. In the end, he will be able to guess his new name, and then the turn to guess passes to another player.
"MPS"
When choosing intellectual and funny New Year's competitions for the family at the table, you cannot pass by such 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 any of those sitting at the table in any order, but he will receive only “yes” and “no” answers. It is also impossible to try to guess what MPS is by spelling. Then, for a moment, the player leaves the room, and it is explained to all participants what 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 on the right. Since each participant in the game has his own right neighbor, the answers to the same questions from different participants may 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.
Check out our article “Competitions for the New Year's Corporate Party” - perhaps you will also find suitable contests for the family circle in it.
"Surprise Ball"
Fun contests for the New Year for the family can beat wishes. To do this, you need to place pieces of paper with written wishes in advance in rubber balls and then inflate them. Each household will choose the balloon they like, burst it and read a wish for the coming year for everyone.
"Funny Numbers"
Everyone who celebrates the holiday needs to be given a piece of paper and a pencil so that everyone writes any number. After that, the host begins to voice questions addressed to each specific person, and the number written on the sheet will be the answer. Suitable questions are required here, such as:
- 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 attributed to the most fun competitions for the New Year for the family. Couples of different generations should participate here: a mother with a son or a father with a daughter. With one hand, the couple hugs the waist, 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 second will manipulate the scissors. The “Shiva” whose figure will turn out to be more successful will win.
Do you arrange New Year's contests for the whole family? Which of the following competitions did you like the most? Share your opinion in the comments.
Each participant in turn receives a card with a certain phrase, which will need to be depicted so that the rest can guess what exactly the participant showed. Thus, the participant shows, the rest guess, then change to a new participant, until everyone tries themselves as an actor. Example phrases that cards may contain:
- a double at the board;
- a crying child who wants to eat;
- angry dog;
- Santa Claus brought gifts;
- dance of little ducks;
- the street is slippery, and so on.
And New Year's is not New Year's
Children sit or stand in a circle. Santa Claus or the presenter announces that now is the time to remember all the necessary things and objects that are elements of the holiday. In a circle, each of the participants in turn names one subject. For example, a clock, a TV, a Christmas tree, a garland, Santa Claus, snow, a gift, and so on. The participant who cannot name the item is out. The one who has the last word wins.
Secret for Santa Claus
The guys are divided into teams of about 10 people. Each team stands in a row, one after the other. The first participants receive a sheet - a letter, the information of which must be transferred to Santa Claus, for example, on December 31 in the evening, hares and squirrels, deer and wolves, children and adults are waiting for you at the Christmas tree! On the “start” command, the first participants transmit information, as they remember to the second participant, in the ear, trying to do it quickly and not loudly so that the rivals do not hear and so on in the chain. The team that is faster than the rest and, most importantly, correctly conveys information to Santa Claus (that is, the last participant must say the original text of the letter) will win.
new year on one leg
All children stand by the Christmas tree and, at the command of the host, take the “stand on one leg” position. A New Year's cheerful song is turned on and the guys start jumping - dancing on one leg without changing it. Whoever gives up is out, and whoever survives until the end of the song wins.
Happy New Year
The guys are divided into teams of 11 people, each participant is given a felt-tip pen or marker. For each team, easels with drawing paper are located at the same distance. Each participant must jump in the bag like a wolf in the cartoon "Just you wait!" to the easel and write by letter so that the phrase “Happy New Year” is obtained at the end. So, on the “start” command, the first participants jump in the bag to the easel and write on the letter “C”, then jump back and pass the baton to the second participants, the second write the letter “H”, the third - “O” and so on. The team that finishes the relay faster and writes "Happy New Year" will win.
When it's cold outside
The guys are divided into teams of 5 people. Each participant must wear mittens. Each team receives the same puzzle sets (preferably with a New Year theme) for a small number of parts. At the “start” command, the teams begin to fold the puzzle in mittens. The team that completes the fastest will win and receive a prize.
Cap
Children stand in a circle, and to the music they begin to pass the New Year's hat around in a circle. When the music stops, the participant who has the cap left in his hands puts it on his head and performs the task of Santa Claus. Usually, children prepare poems or songs for Grandfather in advance, so overlays are excluded here.
Pluck all the needles from the tree
Two participants who are blindfolded stand in a circle of fans. 10 clothespins are attached to the clothes of the participants. At the command of the leader, the guys should help each other to get rid of the clothespins and as quickly as possible. Everyone takes turns participating, while the clothespins are hooked to different places each time.
Smart Answer
The host asks questions that relate to New Year's heroes and school subjects at the same time, and the children answer, and the smarter and more interesting the answer, the better. For example: how is the snowman related to geometry? (it consists of balls). How is Santa Claus related to geography? (he flies all over the world and delivers gifts to children at every point, so he must know geography on a solid 5). How is the Snow Maiden related to the Russian language? (she signs birthday cards for children and should do it competently). The more interesting the participant answers such questions, the more chances he has to become a winner.
Running for a couple
Guests of the holiday are divided into teams with the same even number of people. Then the participants are divided into pairs. The couple stands behind the couple in a row of their team. First couples get one! a couple of boots. On the “start” command, one participant puts on the left felt boot, and the second puts on the right one, and in turn jumps forward on one foot to the very Christmas tree, and then turn around and back, pass the baton and felt boots to the second pair. It turns out that one participant in a pair jumps only on the left foot in felt boots, and the second participant only on the right. The team in which the run in paired boots ends faster and the first pair is again in first place will be the winner.
Funny, funny contests will allow you to have a good rest and have fun at the New Year's party. For hosts who are entrusted with organizing the entertainment part, we offer an original selection of games, contests and quizzes for the scenario of a festive corporate party!
To make the New Year holiday more successful, we have made for you a selection of the most interesting contests and fun.
table
To begin with, we propose to include cool contests at the table in the program of the New Year's corporate party at work.
What will Santa Claus give?
Attributes: small pieces of paper, pens (or pencils).
Before sitting at the festive table, guests receive a small piece of paper and write what gift they would like to wish themselves in the new year. It can be, for example, a new apartment, a car, a dog, a trip, money, a lover…
The sheets are folded into a tube and placed in a beautiful box, a hat ... At some point in the evening, the presenter asks everyone to pull out an arbitrary sheet 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 the wish will come true if you save the piece of paper until the next holiday, and then tell about what has come true.
The leaves can be attached with threads to a rope / fishing line and then, as once in childhood, blindfolded with scissors, cut off your wish. Another variation is to tie notes to balloons and distribute to those present.
I want-I want-I want!
Another game about desires. But this time without attributes.
5-7 people are called. They take it in turns to name their wish for the next year. You need to speak quickly, without delaying the queue! Stopping for more than 5 seconds - the player is out. We play until victory - until the last player! (Small prize possible).
Let's raise a glass! New Year's toasts
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!
- B - Actually, I'm glad to be with you today!
- G - Pride bursts at the sight of those gathered at this table! ..
The funniest moment is when the letters e, e, y, y, s come into play.
Game variant: each next toast begins with the last letter of the previous congratulation. For example: “I am very glad if you support me with applause! “And all the best to you…” For complication, you can prohibit starting a toast with prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
"I'll sing about Frost!" Compose a ditty
Those who wish during the evening must write, and then present to the audience a ditty, in which there are New Year's words or topics pre-set by the presenters. It could be "New Year, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden."
You can compose clumsy ones - with an unrhymed last line, but maintaining the given rhythm of the ditty. Example:
hello red santa claus
you brought us gifts!
The most important - ten days
we'll just rest.
snow news
Attributes: Cards with 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 the words he got and within 30 seconds (although if those present at the party are already, well, very tired, then 1 minute is possible) comes up with news from one sentence. And it should fit all the words from the card.
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.
The news can begin with the words "Sensation!"
For example:
- 1 card - "road, chair, roof, bicycle, snowman." Suggestion - "A huge snowman with a broken roof was discovered outside the city on a road bike with a chair instead of a seat!"
- 2 card - "fence, sound, ice floe, shop, Christmas tree." Suggestion - "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 got.
Fun guaranteed!
I like/dislike at my neighbor's
The game does not require any improvised means! But requires a sufficient degree of emancipation or relaxed relations in the team.
The host invites everyone present to name which part of the body (you can wear clothes) they like the person sitting on the left, and which one they don’t like. For example: "My neighbor on the right has a left ear that I like and I don't like a protruding pocket."
After everyone has named and remembered what was said, the host asks to kiss (or stroke) what they like and bite (or slap) what they don’t like.
Not everyone can play, but only 6-8 brave ones are called in a circle.
Our friend is an orange!
This game can be played at the New Year's party in the office only if all colleagues are well acquainted. Or at least everyone has a friend or girlfriend in the team.
The host 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 - these are associations! Whoever guesses first, wins.
Questions are like this:
- What fruit/vegetable does it look like? - For an orange.
- What food is associated with? - With pies.
- - What animal? - With a mole.
- - With what music? - With choral singing.
- - With what flower?
- - What plant?
- — By car?
- - Color?
- - Part of the world?
Yin-yang cones
The course of fun: a host is selected from the guests, who will have these two bumps. They are the signals of his answers, because he cannot speak at all. He thinks of a word, and the rest, 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 bump, NO - black. If neither one nor the other, he can lift both at once.
The first one to guess wins.
Instead of cones, you can take multi-colored Christmas balls. But you have 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: a piece of paper and a pen.
The first person writes any noun on his piece of paper and speaks it quietly into the neighbor's ear. He comes up with his own association to this word, writes it down and whispers it to the next one.
This is how associations are transmitted along the chain ... The latter speaks aloud the word transmitted 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 leader begins: he performs an action with a neighbor that will make him laugh. He can take him by the ear, pat his shoulders, tap his nose, flick his arm, touch his knee ... Everything, standing in a circle must repeat the same movement with your roommate/neighbour.
The one who laughs is out.
Then the driver makes the next movement, everyone repeats. If no one laughed, a new move. And so on until the last "Nesmeyana".
New Year's rhymer
The driver reads out little-known New Year / winter quatrains. But he only speaks the first 2 lines.
The rest are invited to participate in the competition for the best rhymer.
Guests invent and rhyme the last two lines. Then the funniest and most original poet is chosen, and then the original poem is read out to the general laughter and fun.
Drawing competition "I see, I see the New Year!"
Those who wish are given A-4 sheets with arbitrary lines and felt-tip pens. Everyone has the same image (a photocopy will help you).
The task is to complete the picture on the New Year theme.
Of course, everyone knows who in the team is best versed in painting. Here he or she will evaluate the results. Whoever has the most interest is the winner! There can be many winners - it's a holiday!
Movable
nimble bump
Attributes: pine or spruce cones.
Game progress: guests can either sit at the table or stand in a circle (if by this time they have been sitting too long). The task is to pass each other a bump. The condition is that it can be transmitted only by holding it on the back of two palms. Try it, it's quite difficult... But also fun!
You can also divide into equal teams, and which one will transfer its bump faster, that one won.
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 Snow Maidens for a few minutes each choose a man for themselves to turn him into Santa Claus.
From items prepared in advance on the table, the Snow Maiden creates a cheerful image of their hero. In principle, this can be ended by choosing the most successful and funny model ...
The Snow Maiden can take snowflakes for herself, which will help with the "decoration" of Santa Claus and with advertising.
Snow paths
This is a very successful game to determine couples for subsequent New Year's 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, confusing the halves.
3-4 pairs of players are called. The host holds a basket / box, to which there are multi-colored ribbons, the tips of which hang down.
Presenter: “In the New Year, the paths were covered with snow ... The blizzard mixed up the paths in the house of Santa Claus. We need to unravel them! Take the end of the tape you like in pairs, and pull the track towards you. The couple that draws their ribbon before the others will win a prize!”
The players choose a pair and color of the ribbon, expecting that there will be a single ribbon at the ends of the same color. But the fun lies in the fact that the ribbons are sewn differently, and the pairs are formed completely unexpected.
Train of happy people
Everyone loves round dances: both small and large (and those who are embarrassed to admit it)!
Arrange a round dance for your guests. It is clear that it can be difficult for vacationers at a party to raise themselves to a mobile competition, so come up with something for them branded callers.
- Now those who are clinging to the train
a) wants to be rich
b) wants to be loved
c) who wants to have a lot of health,
d) who dreams of traveling to the sea, etc.
The host drives the train around the hall, it is filled and filled with guests. And when it is clear that no one else can be pulled out from the tables, dances-movements of the train are arranged (the presenter can show them) to the daring music.
New Year term deposit
Attributes: money wrappers.
Two couples are selected, each a man and a woman. It is desirable that men should be dressed in approximately the same way (if one has a jacket, then the second should be in a jacket).
— Dear women, on the eve of the New Year, and you need to have time to make a fixed deposit in the bank. Here is the money for you (each of the women is given a pack of candy wrappers). These are initial contributions. You will put them in the bank for a super term deposit. Your men are your banks. Only one condition - each "bill" in a separate cell! And pockets, sleeves, collars, lapels and other secluded places can become cells. You can make a deposit while the music is playing. Just remember where you put your money. Started!
The task is given 1-2 minutes.
- Attention! Intermediate check: who managed to make a full investment (not a single candy wrapper left in his hands) receives an additional point. All money in action!
- And now, dear depositors, you must quickly withdraw cash - after all, we know that it was a super fast deposit. You will shoot each blindfolded, but you always remember what and where you put it. Music! Started!
The trick is that men are swapped, and blindfolded women "search" someone else's partner without knowing it. Everyone has fun!
We are actors anywhere!
Those who wish to participate are given task cards. None of them knows in advance what they will have to face.
The host announces that the participants need to take a walk in front of everyone, depicting what is written on the cards. Here is an example list:
- tightrope walker over the abyss,
- duck in the yard
- teenager with a stalled bike,
- shy girl,
- a shy Japanese woman in a kimono in the rain,
- baby who starts walking
- heron in the swamp,
- Iosif Kobzon at a speech,
- city man in the market,
- hare on the path
- catwalk model,
- arab sheikh,
- cat on the roof, etc.
Tasks can be supplemented and expanded with any ideas.
Funny prank "Bear in the den or slow-witted spectators"
Attention: it is played only once!
The facilitator invites the one who wants to portray a pantomime, takes him to a separate room and gives him a "secret" task - portray without words bear (hare or kangaroo).
Meanwhile, the host's assistant agrees 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 not to understand and name anything, but not the one they are shown.
- Walks, waddling? Yes, this is a platypus (a lame fox, a tired boar)!
- Licking paw? Probably the cat washes.
Etc.
It happens that the person depicting is surprised at the misunderstanding of the guests, begins to get angry: “Are you so stupid? It's so easy!" And if he shows hellish patience, shows again and again - he has iron nerves! But it also amuses the employees gathered at the party. It's not worth pulling. When the player starts 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, a lot of music competition games for the New Year's corporate party have been invented.
Scene "Clip song"
This is the most creative musical entertainment for the New Year's corporate evening.
Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Santa Claus, the 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 "It's cold in the winter for a little Christmas tree." We need an operator who will shoot the clip on camera.
The participants, accompanied by song accompaniment, begin to depict all the actions that are sung about: “a cowardly gray bunny jumped under the Christmas tree” - the hero jumps, “the beads were hung up” - the team hangs the beads on an impromptu live “Christmas tree”.
You can divide into two teams (employees and employees) and each will shoot their own clip. It is desirable to display the results on a large screen and compare. The winners will be awarded 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-song. But these are strange dances - no one gets up!
At the command of the leader, they dance with different parts of the body:
- Let's dance with our elbows first!
- Then the shoulders
- feet,
- fingers,
- lips,
- eyes, etc.
The rest choose the coolest dance.
Changeling song
This is a comic game that you can play at any time of the holiday. The presenter pronounces the lines from the New Year / winter song, but with the words vice versa. The task of all is who is faster guess the original and sing it. The one who guesses is given a chip (wrapper, candy, cone ...), so that later it would be easier to calculate the winner in the entire competition.
The lines might look something like this:
— The birch has died in the steppe. - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree.
“The old moon lingers, 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.
— The brave white wolf sat on the baobab tree. - A cowardly gray bunny jumped under the Christmas tree.
— Shut up, Santa Claus, where are you going? “Tell me, Snow Maiden, where have you been?”
- You read a book to me about 1 hour. I'll sing you a song about five minutes.
— The huge palm tree is hot in summer. The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.
- The weights were removed, they left the chain. - They hung the beads, stood in a round dance.
- She ran away from you, Snegurochka, wiped off a little sweet smiles. - I ran after you, Santa Claus. I shed many bitter tears.
- Oh, heat-heat, warm you up! Warm you and your camel. - Oh, frost-frost, do not freeze me! Don't freeze me, my horse.
“Your worst acquisition is me. “My best gift is you.
Song contest "Musical hat of Santa Claus"
Attributes: we put words from New Year's songs in the cap.
The players pass it in a circle to the musical accompaniment. When the music stops, the one who received the hat at that moment takes out a card with the word and must remember / sing a piece of the song where it occurs.
You can play in teams. Then the hat is passed from representative to representative of each team. You can limit the time to complete the task and reward the team for each guess.
Not sure if your guests are so fast-thinking - write not one word, but a small phrase. Then it will be easier to remember the song!
Candlelight dance
Dynamic, but at the same time very calm and gentle dance competition.
Put on slow music and invite the couples to light sparklers and dance. The couple whose fire burns longer wins and wins the prize.
If you want to spice up the dance - choose tango!
Old song in a new way
Print the texts of famous (not necessarily even New Year's) songs and prepare musical accompaniment without words (music for karaoke).
It can be Karabas Barabas, Snegurochka, an evil policeman, a kind Baba Yaga and even your boss.
Quiet-loud
A well-known song is chosen, which all the guests begin to sing in unison.
On the command "Quiet!" sing a song to themselves. On command "Loud!" out loud again.
And since everyone sang at their own pace, the loud choir begins with different words. And so it is repeated several times, all the fun.
4. Command
Team games for the New Year's corporate party will once again strengthen the team spirit and solidarity, acting as an unscheduled team building.
Competition - relay "Boots of Santa Claus"
Attributes: 2 pairs of very large boots (or one).
This game is played around the Christmas tree or around the chairs in teams.
Those who play at the signal of the driver or the sound of music put on large felt boots and run a race around the Christmas tree (chairs). If you have only one pair of these winter boots, then let the teams compete against the clock.
With felt boots, you can still come up with many different relay races: divide into teams and run, passing them in a team to each other; carry on outstretched arms so as not to drop; put on felt boots and run backwards (in large ones it is difficult to do this), etc. Fantasize!
Don't drop the lump
Attributes: "snow" clods made from crumpled paper; large spoons (can be wooden).
The course of the relay competition: two equal teams gather. At the command of the driver (or at the sound of the music), the first participants must quickly run back and forth across the room, carrying a lump in a spoon and trying not to drop it. Do not choose too long routes - just make a circle around the Christmas tree.
The difficulty is that the paper is light and strives to fly off to the floor all the time.
They play until the last comer in the team. Who is the first, he won!
Office wishes Happy New Year
Attributes: 2-3 sheets of drawing paper (depending on how many teams are playing), newspapers, magazines, glue and scissors.
In 10-15 minutes, the teams should cut out words from the paper editions offered to them, stick them on a sheet and make an original congratulation to those present on the New Year.
It should be a fun little text. You can supplement the poster with clippings of pictures from the proposed magazines.
The most creative congratulation wins.
Christmas tree beads
Offer the teams paper clips in large quantities (it is advisable to choose multi-colored plastic ones). Task: in the allotted time (5 minutes, no more), long chains are assembled to pleasant music.
Whoever ends up with “beads” longer than their opponents, that team wins.
Gather a team or "Friendly mosaic"
The competition requires a little preparation. It is necessary to take a picture of the teams, print the photo on a printer and cut it into small pieces. The task of the teams is to put together a photo of their team in the minimum time.
Those who complete their puzzle faster win.
Preferably make sure the photos are large.
The snowman turns...
Two teams. Each has 4 participants and 8 balls (blue and white can be used). Each is marked with large letters S_N_E_G_O_V_I_K. The snowman "melts" and turns ... into other words.
The driver makes simple riddles, and the players build guessed words from balls with letters.
- Grows on the face. - Nose.
- Banned at work. - Dream.
- Candles are made from it. - Wax.
- Prepared for the winter. - Hay.
- Orange is preferred to tangerine. - Juice.
- Difficult to get up in the morning. — Eyelids.
- Where did the office romance happen? - Movie.
- Colleague of the snow woman. - Snowman.
The fastest ones get points, and the ones with the most points win.
5. Bonus - competitions for a purely female team!
These games are suitable for a New Year's corporate party of doctors, teachers, or for a kindergarten.
Rope for the brave
This competition is exclusively for an adult company. Guests are divided into two equal teams.
At the signal of the driver and to the fervent music, the players take off parts of their clothes in order to tie a long, long rope out of them.
When the “Stop!” sounds, the visibly underdressed participants begin to measure the length of their chains of clothing.
Longest one wins!
Dress up for the New Year! or "Outfit in the dark"
Two participants are standing near their chest/box/basket containing different items of clothing. They are first blindfolded, and then they must put on everything from the chest as quickly as possible.
Speed and correctness are valued. Although everyone is more fun and from the fact that things are mixed up on the players.
Snow queen in reverse
Inventory: ice cubes from the freezer.
Several contenders for the crown of the Snow Queen are selected. They pick up an ice cube and, on command, must melt it as quickly as possible, turning it into water.
You can give one at a time, you can have several ice cubes, folding them into bowls.
The first one to complete the task wins. She is given the title of "Hottest Snow Queen".
Will Cinderella go to the New Year's ball?
Mixed beans, peppers, rosehips, peas lie on plates in front of two participants (you can take any ingredients). The number of grains is small so that the game does not pour for too long (you can test it experimentally before the holiday).
After the players are blindfolded, they begin to disassemble the fruits into piles by touch. Whoever gets it right first will go to the ball!
