New Year's games with family

Most people traditionally celebrate the New Year with family and friends. People gather for a festive feast with pleasure, prepare gifts for each other, and children learn poetry. New Year's games and entertainment for the family are easy and relaxed. Everyone knows each other, there is no constraint or tension. You can arrange a lot of fun with your family that will appeal to adults and children.

Guess the face

For the competition, you will need medium-sized mittens so that they can fit the hands of both an adult and a child. Another necessary attribute is a thick scarf. Everyone, without exception, can take part in the fun. The game is played as follows:
1. Someone who wants to guess the face is brought to the center of the room.
2. A scarf is tied over the eyes of the guesser.
3. Put the prepared mittens on your hands.
4. In different orders, family members approach the guesser and present their face to him.
5. A blindfolded relative, feeling his face with his hands in mittens, must determine who is in front of him.
6. You are only allowed to touch your face and hair.
7. As soon as the guesser pronounces the correct option, the bandage is removed.
To make the competition more difficult, those who are guessed can be misled by changing their height or hairstyle.

New Year's Pathfinder

For this competition, you should prepare cut out snowflakes in advance. You will need at least 30 of them. One of the household members is sent to another room, while the rest of the family hides snowflakes throughout the room. Places for hiding can be very different and unexpected. You can put a snowflake in your pocket, throw it on a chandelier or hide it under a salad bowl.
When all the snowflakes are hidden, the person who will look for them is called into the room. Relatives should help the search with comments like “cold” and “warm.” As soon as the seeker is very close to the hiding place, the relatives should start shouting “hotly”. Children especially love this competition.

Useful!
Take care of your shooting device. Family photos or videos of fun times are great keepsakes. Live faces and spontaneous funny pictures will give you unforgettable emotions and memories every time you view them.

Family relay races

Relatives gathered at the same table during the feast can take a break without leaving the table. All those present should be divided into two teams. You can categorize participants by gender, children and adults, or by generation. The competition is held as follows:
1. You need to pass the apple held between your chest and chin to the next team member as quickly as possible. The receiver must also pick it up by grabbing it with his chin.
2. Each family member is given one toothpick, which he must press between his lips. The first in the chain is to put a ring on the toothpick. The task is to pass the ring along the chain as quickly as possible using toothpicks held in the mouth.
3. The first participants need to quickly whisper a word, which they must also quickly and quietly pass on to the next one after the “Start” command. The team that at the end correctly names the word given by the presenter wins. Speed ​​and whispers can play a funny trick. The last one in the chain may end up with the most unpredictable option or set of letters.
There are many competitions for children and adults gathered to celebrate the New Year. You can play Crocodile, sing songs, ask riddles.

New Year's entertainment for kids

For children, New Year's holidays are often held separately. When the chimes strike, most often the kids are already asleep or very capricious. Organize your children's party separately. This could be an event in kindergarten or at home. In addition to treats, consider different entertainment. It will be great if one of your loved ones dresses up as Father Frost and Snow Maiden. Select an appropriate musical selection from New Year's and children's songs.

Round dance

What New Year's Eve celebration would be complete without a friendly round dance around the Christmas tree? Place a dressed up green beauty in the middle of the room and walk around her, humming a well-known popular song. It is better to mix children and adults so that the procession is friendly and fun.
Who can name more New Year's songs?
It is worth preparing a bag with small gifts, sweets or fruits in advance. Children are asked to name as many songs as possible that mention winter, New Year, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Christmas tree, snowflakes, snow and gifts. Reward the kids with a small prize for their answers.

Cheerful artists

For the competition you will need two large sheets of paper. You can glue 4 A4 sheets or regular notebook pages together using tape. Children are given one marker of a different color and divided into two teams.
Large sheets of canvas are hung on the wall. The task is to draw one element for each child as he sees the New Year. Each team must draw one picture in total. For example, one child runs up and draws a Christmas tree, another - snowflakes, a third - Christmas tree decorations, etc.
There is no need to determine the winner in this competition. Both teams should receive equal prizes. Prepare sweet gifts, books or toys for each participant in advance. The homemade paintings made together can later be framed and kept as souvenirs.

Repetitions

A presenter is invited for the competition. It’s better if it’s Santa Claus or Snow Maiden. Children are placed in a semicircle. The goal of the game is to touch yourself on that part of the body that the host says out loud. At the same time, he touches himself on completely different parts of the body. For example, Grandfather Frost says “Ear!” and grabs his nose.
This is a very fun competition that develops children. The leader must alternate between correct and incorrect actions. It is difficult to identify a winner in this fun, so you can reward all participants with sweet prizes.

Surprises from the New Year's bag

The presenter or Santa Claus goes to the center of the room with a bag in which small gifts are hidden. These could be sweets, fruits, small toys, mini-books. Children gathered around must guess riddles. It is not necessary to touch only on New Year’s themes; you can ask fascinating questions about fairy-tale characters and animals. The fastest and most active should be rewarded with a gift. Make sure that not a single child is left without a reward.

Useful!
If one of the children is shy, Santa Claus can pretend to be deaf and approach a separate modest child to hear the answer.

Table competitions

During the celebration of the night of transition to the next year, guests should not only be deliciously fed, but also interestingly entertained. If the premises do not allow for active games, table competitions will come to the rescue. They liberate everyone present, get to know each other better, and allow them to be creative.

Say the letter word

The table competition is suitable for both children and adults. The leader at the table names any letter of the alphabet, and all guests must name words starting with this letter, which they can show in the room. For example, many objects can be named with the letter C - table, chairs, napkins, etc. The last one to name the word wins. If you liked the fun, you can complicate the task by naming some less popular letter. For example, B, F or Y.

Secretary and boss

To play the game you will need to make a small text in several copies in advance. Everyone gathered is divided into pairs. One of the tandem participants needs to stuff his mouth with nuts, bread or fruit so that it is difficult to speak. This is the "boss". He is given a piece of paper with the text. His partner, the “secretary,” will have to write down the words that his boss dictates to him. The winner is the pair whose version is closest to the original. Showing the “secretary” what is written on the sheet to the “boss” is prohibited.

Find your match

You should prepare stickers in advance on which you need to write the names of famous couples of fictional, fairy-tale or movie characters. For example:
Ruslan and Ludmila;
Romeo and Juliet;
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie;
Galkin and Pugacheva, etc.
Men and women have their names pasted on their foreheads in a chaotic manner. It is forbidden to give hints to each other. Everyone’s task is to find out through questions whether they are a couple of the person being interviewed. His interlocutor should answer only “yes” or “no”. The result is a very fun idea.
New Year in an adult company
A feast in an adult company and at parties for young people is often accompanied by drinking. Cool competitions with alcohol can be organized to excite guests and make New Year's Eve fun and sociable.

Toasts

For fun, you only need guests, their imagination and a good mood. Each person present in turn must make a New Year's toast, after which they should have a drink and a snack. It is important that the intervals between toasts are not small, otherwise all participants will quickly become intoxicated. The next person’s task is to deliver a speech without repetition.
Poured, drank, ate
To play you need two chairs, two bottles of strong drink, two shot glasses, two saucers with snacks cut into slices. All guests are divided into two teams and located in one part of the room. Chairs, alcohol, dishes and snacks are placed on the opposite side. After the starting command:
the first participant must run up to the chair, pour an alcoholic drink into a glass and return back;
the second participant must get to the chair as quickly as possible, drink the contents of the glass and return;
the third participant must quickly arrive at the chair and take a bite;
the fourth participant pours again, etc.
The winner is the team whose bottle is drunk faster and whose snack is all eaten.

Useful!
You can place lemon without sugar on a saucer. The company will receive a lot of positive emotions looking at the faces of those who have the fate of having a snack.

New Year's lotteries
In the company of adults, you can hold comic lotteries. To do this, a variety of small items with shocking and humorous descriptions are prepared in advance. For example, a light bulb can be characterized as an antique crystal chandelier from the 19th century, an ordinary pen like a Louis XIV feather, an ordinary piece of fabric like Philip Kirkorov’s pocket. All small prizes must be hidden in a bag or box.
The lottery itself for the New Year is carried out in the following sequence:
all guests take numbers from a hat;
the presenter calls the number;
reads out the description;
gives a comic gift.
The more interesting and pompous the description, the more expectations the guests have and the funnier the result. Comic lotteries can be held both at home and at corporate events.
New Year's competitions at school
School holidays provide a great opportunity for children to express themselves. For schoolchildren, you can announce a competition for the best classroom decoration, hold a New Year's costume ball, and perform performances by artists.

Competition for the best classroom design

To decorate the classrooms, only the students’ own efforts should be used. Let the children make homemade greeting posters, cut snowflakes, make garlands, Christmas tree decorations, and draw winter stained glass windows. The winning class can be determined by voting. To do this, a closed box is installed in the foyer, into which each student can throw a piece of paper with the room number.
At the costume Christmas tree with the participation of Santa Claus, it is necessary to have active relay competitions and erudition games. The magical grandfather and his Snow Maiden can ask riddles and play catch-up.
New Year is a favorite holiday for adults and children. Holding a celebration with interesting and funny competitions will make New Year's Eve unforgettable and fun. Think in advance about what games and fun you should arrange to entertain your family and guests.

Thanks to New Year's competitions, a home holiday will become a bright, unusual and memorable event. Playing in a pleasant company is a great opportunity to laugh together, show ingenuity and creativity, discover new sides in old friends, or meet new people in a relaxed atmosphere. We offer some interesting ideas for themed competitions at home.

Competitions for any company

These are universal New Year competitions for children and adults; they can be held at home (even if there is not much space in the room) or in a restaurant. Choose these games and the evening will be filled with surprises, laughter and communication.

“For the holiday - by ticket only”

This game will fill the holiday with a lot of unexpected and fun events.
Props:

• a box, hat, vase or other container in which tasks are placed;
• sheets of paper with written tasks.

How to do it?

A hat or box is placed near the door, from which each person entering takes out a task for himself. Cards are drawn blindly; you cannot inform other party participants about their contents. Violators are given symbolic punishment, for example, eating a piece of lemon without sugar or performing the Yellow Dog dance.

Cards for the game are prepared in advance. What the tasks will be depends on the imagination of the owners of the house and the company that gathers. Usually they write something like: “crow every hour”, “find three people who agree to dance in a circle with you”, “spend the whole evening wearing a Santa Claus hat”, “climb onto a chair at exactly 23.15 and recite a poem”, “say a toast in which all words begin with the letter B”, “persuade the neighbor on the right to dance tango”, etc. The content of tasks should be selected depending on the nature of the company; do not forget that they should be humorous, simple and enjoyable. If a lot of children come to the party, prepare separate boxes with cards for children and adults. At the end of the evening, a vote is held to determine who handled the game better. The winner is given a prize.

"Parade of Heroes"

Funny New Year's competition for adults and children. It is always interesting, leaving a lot of pleasant memories and vivid photos.

Props:

• old glasses, masks, hats, mittens, garlands, clothes, newspapers, toilet paper, paints, lipstick, jewelry, etc. The more varied the items, the more fun the competition will be;

• a hat or box in which tasks are placed.

How to do it?

If there are less than 15 participants, then everyone plays for themselves. It is better to divide a larger number of guests into teams of 2-3 people.

1. The participant draws a character card. He (or the whole team) is given 2-5 minutes to come up with an image from the proposed things and present a mini-performance.
2. The rest of the guests enjoy the performance, take pictures and guess who is in front of them. It is better to limit the display time to 3-5 minutes so that the players have time to prove themselves.
3. At the end, the participants vote, the one who makes the guests laugh or surprises the most wins.

Competition for attention

Include fun competitions for attention for adults in the New Year 2017 program, so that unfamiliar participants of the holiday get to know each other better, and old friends laugh sincerely. This game can be started spontaneously because it does not require any props.

How to play?

1. The first pair is chosen (at will or by lot). It is better to distribute teams so that they contain people who know each other equally. The couple is chosen immediately before the competition, so participants who are waiting for their turn will not be able to prepare.
2. The playing couple goes to the center. For 30-60 seconds, participants are asked to look at each other.
3. Then their backs are turned, and the rest of the guests ask them one by one questions about their appearance: “What color are Andrey’s eyes?”, “What’s on his left hand?”, “What color are his socks?” etc. Sometimes they ask deceptive questions, for example, they ask which hand the ring is on, even if there is no such accessory. This will help confuse players.
4. Even though people saw each other a minute ago, you'll likely learn a lot about their appearance. The pair that gives the most correct answers wins.

For lovers of intellectual games

For those who like intellectual questions, you can offer a word knowledge competition. This game is suitable for adults. The competition requires cards with words and a presenter who knows the correct answers. Make a list in advance of rarely used words with unusual meanings, for example, myatka (hustle, crush), surpleas (starting position of a bicycle in track racing), babushi (mullets), durra (tropical plant used to make bread), austeria (tavern) , hotel), verki (defensive building), colette (wide turn-down collar in medieval clothing), etc. You can find such words in dictionaries of ancient or foreign words, special reference books. In addition, non-existent words should be included in the list. This will make the game even more interesting.

How to play?

There are several options. You can come up with possible answers for each word and invite participants to guess the correct one. A more difficult, but also fun competition is to guess the meaning of words without clues. An important condition in this case is that it is necessary to explain the meaning of the word.

(from reader Maria)
The essence of the game: a box is prepared containing either the prize itself or a part of this prize. Only one player is selected and asked to choose: a prize or N amount of money (if there is no real money, money from a joke store, i.e. not real money, is a perfect substitute). And then it starts like on the TV program “Field of Miracles”, guests, friends, relatives, etc. sitting next to them shout “... prize”, and the presenter offers to take the money (just in case something happens, don’t say that the money is from a joke store or otherwise the prize will be taken away very quickly and it will not be interesting to play). The presenter’s task is to keep the intrigue and hint that the gift is very chic, but money has never bothered anyone, that they need to take it. The player's choice can be made in different ways, be it a children's counting rhyme or according to some separate criteria. In order to make it interesting for all the guests, so that no one is offended (why did you choose this or that player), you can raffle off several prizes, but you will have to stock up on a large amount of money (even as was said earlier, it may not be real money).

Competition for a group of adults

Hit the target!

A proven competition – bursting laughter and fun are guaranteed. The competition is more suitable for men-) Required for the competition: empty bottles, rope (about 1 meter long for each participant) and pens and pencils.

Fun competition for the family “New Year’s “Turnip”

(This competition is time-tested, a great option for the New Year, fun will be guaranteed!)

The number of participants is the number of characters in this famous fairy tale plus 1 presenter. New actors need to remember their role:
Turnip - alternately hits his knees with his palms, claps his hands, and at the same time says: “Both-on!”
Grandfather rubs his hands: “Okay, sir.”
The grandmother threatens her grandfather with her fist and says: “I would kill him!”
The granddaughter – (for super-effect, choose an impressively sized man for this role) – twitches her shoulders and says, “I’m ready.”
Bug - scratches behind the ear, says: “The fleas are tormented”
Cat – sways her hips “And I’m on my own”
The mouse shakes its head, “We’ve finished!”
The presenter reads the classic text “Turnip”, and the heroes, having heard themselves mentioned, play their role:
“Grandfather (“Tek-s”) planted Turnip (“Oba-na”). Turnip (“Both-on!”) ​​grew big and big. Grandfather (“Tek-s”) began to pull Turnip (“Both-on!”). He pulls and pulls, but he can’t pull it out. Grandfather called (“Tek-s”) Grandma (“I would kill”)…” etc.
The real fun begins after the words of the presenter: “Grandfather for Turnip, Grandma for Dedka...” First, conduct a rehearsal, and then the “performance” itself. Bursts of laughter and a great mood are guaranteed!

A Christmas tree was born in the forest (musical scene, readers recommend)

We turn on the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”, just as in “Turnip”, distribute roles to the participants (it is recommended to write the roles on pieces of paper in advance and for the participants to randomly choose a role for themselves: “Christmas tree”, “Frost”, etc. ) and act out this children's song to the music.
It looks very funny when adults get used to a children's song.

“Phrases of congratulations”

The presenter reminds that New Year's Eve is in full swing, and some people are already having difficulty remembering the last letter of the alphabet. Guests are invited to fill their glasses and make a New Year's toast, but with one condition. Each person present begins the congratulation phrase with the letter A, and then proceeds alphabetically.
For example:
A - Absolutely happy to drink to the New Year!
B - Be careful, New Year is coming!
B - Let's drink to the ladies!
It's especially fun when the game gets to G, F, P, S, L, B. The prize goes to the one who came up with the funniest phrase.

New Year 2019 – what to give?

The most sensitive

Only women participate in the competition. The participants stand facing the audience. Behind each is a chair. The presenter quietly places a small object on each chair. On command, all participants sit down and try to determine what kind of object is under them. Looking at and using hands is prohibited. The first one to determine wins. You can guess the number of identical objects (caramels, tangerines) placed on a chair.

Surprise

The competition is prepared in advance. We take the most ordinary balloons. We write assignments on pieces of paper. The tasks may be different. We put the notes inside the balloon and inflate it. The player pops any ball without using his hands and receives a task that must be completed!
For example:
1. Recreate the chimes on New Year's Eve.
2. Stand on a chair and notify the whole world that Santa Claus is coming to us.
3. Sing the Song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.”
4. Dance rock and roll.
5. Guess the riddle.
6. Eat a few slices of lemon without sugar.

Crocodile

All participants are divided into two teams. The first team comes up with a clever word and then says it to one of the players on the opposing team. The task of the chosen one is to depict the hidden word without making a sound, only with gestures, facial expressions and plastic movements, so that his team can guess what was planned. After successfully guessing, the teams change roles. After some practice, this game can be complicated and made much more interesting by guessing not words, but phrases.

Whale

Everyone stands in a circle and joins hands. It is advisable that there are no breakable, sharp, etc. nearby. items. The presenter speaks into each player's ear the names of two animals.

It is advisable to do all this at a fairly fast pace, without giving any breaks. The funny thing is that the second animal that the host speaks into the players’ ears is the same for everyone – “WHALE”. And when, a minute or two after the start of the game, the presenter suddenly says: “Whale,” then everyone inevitably has to sit down sharply - which leads to prolonged wallowing on the floor. :-))

Masquerade

Various funny clothes are stuffed into the bag in advance (national hats, clothes, underwear, swimsuits, stockings or tights, scarves, bows, diapers for adults, etc. Balls can be inserted into the bra). A DJ is selected. He turns the music on and off at different intervals. The music starts playing, the participants begin to dance and pass the bag to each other. The music stopped. Whoever has the bag left in his hands pulls out one item and puts it on himself. And so on until the bag is empty. In the end, everyone looks very funny.

“What do you like about your neighbor?”

Everyone sits in a circle and the leader says that now everyone must say what they like about their neighbor on the right. When everyone tells these intimate details, the presenter joyfully announces that now everyone should kiss their neighbor on the right exactly in the place that he liked the most.
