New Year with a child of 12 years. New Year's competitions and games for children. Preparing for the New Year's holiday

But finding New Year's children's books, the plot of which would not be connected with Santa Claus or Santa Claus, is not easy. Many do not imagine New Year without Santa Claus, however, more and more parents around the world, and even more parents who choose the path of Montessori, tell their children the truth that in fact this character does not exist and mom and dad put gifts under the tree. Santa Claus is such a tradition. And you can follow it, or you can agree that the expectation of the New Year and its celebration is a wonderful time that we spend with our family and give each other love and warmth.

We hope our selection will help create magical atmosphere this special time, in which adults can plunge with children, without focusing on Grandfather Frost and fairy-tale characters.

New Year's books for kids from birth to three years

At this age, we need to give the child the most accurate reflection of reality. The main questions that interest the baby are: “What is around me and what is it for?” Therefore, pay special attention to the illustrations: they must be believable - let's leave Santa flying through the sky on reindeer for later. The texts are small and clear, giving an idea of ​​winter, the holiday and its attributes.

Thick pages, vivid photos, short texts- exactly what is needed one year old baby. View pictures and study objects together:

• "The world around me. New Year. Photobook" (Tatiana Koval)
• "The world around me. Multicolored New Year. Photobook" (Tatiana Koval)

Older children, 2-3 years old (and after three too), love to look at Wimmelbuch books and books with a lot of details that need to be found, shown and named, and at an older age, write stories about characters.

• "Once Upon a Winter" (Elena Zapesochnaya)
• picture book "Once Upon a Time in the City" (ROSMEN publishing house)
• "Winter Adventures. Stories from pictures with stickers” (Elena Zapesochnaya). To some extent, this is a version of the well-known "Winter Book" by Rotraut Berner adapted to Russian realities. It contains stickers of Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden, which the parent can remove.
• "Winter. Forward-looking finders” (Bianca Minte-Koenig, Hans-Günther Dering). We draw the attention of parents: since this is a translation, on one of the pages there is a mention of a mistletoe potion. This is typical of German culture and unusual for us. You can tell your child about it.

Poems to create a special winter mood:

• "Snow Bunny" (Olga Vysotskaya)
• "Winter Fun" (Evgeny Migunov)
• “It was in January” (Agniya Barto)
• "Soon, soon the New Year!" (NosyCrow)

A list of useful books for children under 3 years old from Montessori teachers will help you choose books according to the age and interests of the child

New Year's books for children from 3 to 6 years old

At this age, children are already more interested in the plot. They are interested in answers to the questions "why" and "where". They still enjoy exploring the world around them. And if parents support them in this, children will discover a lot of new things for themselves.

Therefore, I wanted to start the list with books that reveal the secrets of familiar things. For example, how does a snowflake form and how is it that snowflakes always have six faces? Where does snow come from and why does it crunch underfoot? Why is ice slippery?

• "Snow. Winter Wonder" (Mark Cassino, Jln Nelson)
• "A Book about Snowflakes" (Olga Dvornyakova) Will interest both 5-6-year-old children and those who are older. Everyone will take something from her.

Winter stories can be truly mesmerizing, whether it's about the life of animals or two little brothers Chuk and Gek.

• "Who winters like" (Yulia Smirnova)
• "Chuk and Gek" (Arkady Gaidar)

Around the age of 5, the child begins to clearly distinguish between reality and fiction. During this period, you can start reading fairy tales. On December days, fairy tales will help create a New Year's mood:

• Moroz Ivanovich (Vladimir Odoevsky)
• "The Tale of the Little Christmas Tree" (Marina Aromshtam)
• "Snowball" (Olga Fadeeva)
• "Christmas tree, cat and New Year" (artist Maria Pavlova)
• "One Winter Night" (Nick Butterworth)

• "Winter poems and fairy tales" (artists Lidia Gladneva, M. Afanasyeva, V. Pertsev)
• "Winter poems" (artist V. Belousov)
• "Frost and sun. Poems of Russian poets about winter" (artist Vladimir Kanivets)
• Winter Sorceress (artist Elena Drobotova)
• “Very fun in winter. Snow stories for kids "(Mikhail Yasnov)

Closer to 5-7 years old, children begin to be interested in the origin of the New Year, the traditions of celebrating in different countries. This is a good opportunity to talk about the fact that "Santa Clauses" in different cultures have their own distinctive features.

• “How children around the world celebrate New Year and Christmas” (Pavla Khanachkova)
• Santa Claus and his brothers. Winter Wizards of Russia (Olga Kolpakova)

You can learn about the history and traditions of the holiday and in an unusual way- through the detective story “New Year. A terribly complicated case” (Yakov Akim, Viktor Dragunsky, Anton Zolotov).

And of course, December is a wonderful time to create that magical holiday atmosphere with your children that will be remembered for a lifetime.

• "Simple Snowflakes"
• “Christmas tree flags. A set of flags for the Christmas tree "(artist Maria Pavlova)
• "Christmas decorations" (Tatiana Kozhevnikova).

Creative tasks, indoor and outdoor games, useful ideas in preparation for the New Year for 5-6 years and older:

• “Entertainers. Winter. Fascinating activities for children and parents” (Nina Surova, Philip Surov)
• "Wonderful time. Winter "(Ksenia Dryzlova)

New Year's books for children from 6 to 12 years old

At this age, children ask questions: “What is the reason?”, “What will happen if? ..”, “What would I do?”. Young researchers are increasingly interested in the world of relationships between people. Any story will become an occasion for discussion of good and evil, justice and mercy, love and friendship. Along with this, children continue to enthusiastically study how the world works.

How did our ancestors celebrate the winter holiday? Which traditions have survived to this day, and which ones are being revived or have appeared only now? Why do we celebrate both Christmas and New Year? Answers to these questions:

• "Christmas tree. One hundred years ago"
• "Christmas tree. The latest edition for a gift in verse and prose "
• "Christmas tree. vintage fun"(A. Smirnov)
• "Story Christmas tree"(Alexander Tkachenko)

The world of people and relationships is much more complex than the world of nature and technology. How to find your place in it, how to distinguish good from bad, how to understand your experiences, what friendship, love and justice are - all this can become a topic for discussion while reading. New Year's stories and fairy tales:

• Bengal Lights (Nikolai Nosov)
• "How to arrange a holiday" (Anna Remez)
• "Christmas in northern ice"(Marina Aleshina)
• "Visiting a polar bear" (Oleg Bundur)
• "The key to the Christmas tree chest" (Ekaterina Medvedeva)

• "Christmas Girl Doll" (Yulia Nasvetova, Lidia Avilova)
• "Journey of the smallest snowflake" (Elena Pervushina)
• "Wonderful Doctor" (Alexander Kuprin)
• The Little Match Girl (Hans Christian Andersen)
• "The Snow Queen. The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, Hans Christian Andersen)
• “Santa Claus is calling us, or the Story of Droplet, her friends and how important it is to find your talent” (Irina Danilova)

For children who want to decorate the house for the holiday with their own hands, suggest:

• “A miracle with your own hands. Christmas toys» for 7-9 years (artist McLelland Kate)
• “A miracle with your own hands. Magic Birds for 7-9 years old (artist Ingram Zoe)
• Paper snowflakes "Winter". Cutting set "for 10–12 years old (A. Zaitseva)

Celebrating the New Year at home with your family can be made interesting and unforgettable if everyone takes part in the preparation of games, riddles and tricks with a set of 50 brochures "New Year with the Family" (Natalya Krupenskaya). It will be interesting for children from 6-9 years old.

We hope the review of children's New Year's books will be useful. Share in the comments your favorite books that you are especially happy to read with your children on New Year's Eve.

For younger students and teenagers

"Findus and the Mechanical Santa Claus"

What I have collected today is suitable for a situation where several families with children gather in the same apartment to celebrate the New Year. You must agree that some part of the evening should be devoted to little guests.

If adults participate, everything will be even more fun! A real family holiday!

What we have?

All children different ages but with the same desire to have fun. There will be no invited Santa Claus (or this is a 5-minute formality), but you failed to bring up your own in the team.

There is no place in the apartment for very active games, you did not have time to make complex props for games.

Well? Fits? Read on!

New Year's contests for children I will give thematic blocks. Choose the appropriate options, draw up a program taking into account the alternation of mobile and table competitions.

From these scenarios and selections, you can add contests to your program:

And further!

Ready

look interesting ideas in other scenarios: , (this is my favorite selection),
Add a few competitions for kids to the script and you get a full-fledged program!

WE CONTINUE!!

Lotteries and fortune telling

From experience, both children and adults always like it. Apparently, everyone is interested in looking into the future and testing their luck.

Choice of Father Frost and Snow Maiden

We put little notes in capsules from kinders (you can also just paper bundles in a bag). Pull all the participants of the feast! On one note "Santa Claus", on the other - "Snow Maiden". All the rest can be empty, but it is better to distribute New Year's roles to all guests: snowflakes (there may be 20 of them), Grandmother Winter, The Snow Queen, snowman and so on. If Santa Claus is 2 years old, and the Snow Maiden is 55, you have succeeded :-)!

Now we announce the first new year dance lucky ones! Do not forget to put on the necessary attributes and take a picture at the Christmas tree.

Success Prediction

Everyone is pleased to know that only success awaits in the future. Therefore, we put in a hat the names of all those present, written on pieces of paper, and voice questions like these:

- Who will be the best student in the new year? (pull paper...)

- Katia! (well, or grandmother Tanya ...)

• Who will make the great discovery?
• Who will find the treasure?
• Who will win the lottery?
• Who will receive the most gifts?
• Who will have the most good news in the new year?
• Who will travel a lot?
• Who is in for the biggest surprise of 2015?
• Who will be the most successful at work (at school)?
• Who will be the most athletic in the new year?
• Who will be the healthiest?
• Who will become famous?
• Who's biggest dream will come true?

What's in the black box...

Now all of us will be psychics. Put a box on a chair in the center of the room (you can use shoes), offer to guess what lies there. Let the guests come up to the box, make movements with their hands, copying the magicians.

We begin to accept one answer from each person present. Children, of course, assume the presence of toys, adults - anything.

You can put a really valuable thing in the box that will suit any gender and age (a cup with the symbol of the year, for example), or you can put a cracker. Let everyone get confetti for their work :-). By the way, now there are crackers from which 100-dollar bills fly out.

New Year's word...

Prepare a bunch of small prizes (sweets, chocolate medals, chewing gum, calendars).

You can spend at the table: Look under your plates! Each of you has one letter! (letters write in advance on the cards)

So. Now we ask you to name "New Year's" words for each of these letters. For every word - PRIZE!

But to the one who puts together the word "Snow Maiden" from the letters, we give something more substantial.

• FROM- snow, icicles, snowflakes, snowballs, candles
• H- new year, outfit
• E– spruce
• G- guests, garland
• At- luck, food, decoration,
• R- practical jokes,
• O- Russian salad
• H- watch
• To– confetti, calendar, clown, karaoke, costume
• BUT applause, fragrance, angel, actor

You can name the dishes that are on New Year's table, fairy-tale characters in which guests are dressed up, drinks, games, natural phenomena and so on.

Who quickly?

Chiming clock

Divide children and adults into 2 teams. We give everyone decorations for the Christmas tree and clothespins. Toys, snowflakes and garlands need to be hung on ... one of the team members. Let him spread his fingers and shine like a Christmas tree!

Yes! You can also hold a garland in your teeth.

Turn on the recording with the chimes (there is on YouTube)! Whoever gets the funniest Christmas tree in 1 minute, while recording is in progress, wins!

Take away a gift

Two members. Two boxes (possibly from shoes) with prizes wrapped in beautiful paper. Tie a ribbon (2 - 2.5 m) to each box, the other end to a pencil.

We put the participants on one line, we give pencils in our hands. 1-2-3! We begin to wind the tape on the pencil. The one who does it faster takes the prize.

You can also joke. Let the child and adult compete. In the "children's" box we put something very light, and in the "adult" - dumbbell... Let it reel! 🙂

We make a snowman ... together!

You need softened plasticine. Two participants sit side by side at the table, you can hug. Left hand of one participant and the right hand of the other must act as if they were the hands of one person.

How difficult it is ... Try to pinch off a piece of plasticine, roll three balls between your palms (I remind you, two people participate), then stick a carrot and eyes.

Let there be adults and children in each pair, it's more fun.

Grab it

Something like a game with chairs, when someone from the gape has nowhere to sit. Only no chairs are needed - only a small table or stool with a tray on which carnival accessories lie - spouts, glasses, wigs, caps. The one who did not get the decoration by the end of the music is out. Naturally, the accessory must not only be grabbed, but also put on. For the second round, we put everything on the stool again, continue until 1 winner is revealed.

Competitions with balls

I won't repeat myself, as I already wrote an article. In general, they can be taken as a basis and all children's New Year's contests can be held only with balls.

Throwers, beaters, hits 🙂

Here intelligence is not needed, and it is quite possible to entertain guests from 3 to 103.

From experience, such competitions sometimes turn out to be very reckless. It’s hard to guess what exactly your guests will like, I’ll just list the options, and you decide on the available props and set aside a place for the game.

• if there is any variant of darts (magnetic, balls with Velcro), feel free to assign a prize to the most accurate, interest in the competition will be sure
• skittles or plastic bottles, filled with beans, peas or water, are fun to knock down with a rubber ball at any age. Prize for winning New Year's bowling!
• throwing "snowballs" from a newspaper into a basket (what if someone gets a score of 10 out of 10?). The distance is 2 meters!

We close our eyes!

A standard set of comic contests, but in the New Year it is always a success.

Here are 3 options:

• cut the prize from the tape (it’s more fun if you don’t tie the rope to the cabinets, but give it to two guests in the hands - let them change the height after the player has stopped seeing the target. A blindfolded person will need to work harder, and we’ll make the observers laugh!)

• sticking a plasticine nose to a drawn snowman is also not so easy (we blindfold, unwind, let the participant go to the poster with the picture)

• build a pyramid out of plastic cups. Before blindfolding, we show the "drawing" of the tower - 4 inverted cups at the base, then three, two, one on top. The fastest and most accurate builder wins

A joke concert!

We collect here all the music, circus and dance competitions.

noise orchestra

Great entertainment for a mixed company of adults and children from 2 to 12 years old. .

Poetic horoscope!

We recall what Symbols of the year are in the horoscope, let the guests name their own. If there are 2 dogs or 3 snakes, joint performance is allowed.

Exercise: read Mikhalkov's poem

They say New Year's Eve
Whatever you wish -
Everything will always happen
Everything always comes true

how… rat, pig, dragon, snake, cat, dog, bull, tiger, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster!

neon show

To be honest, it was unexpectedly effective even for me, although I came up with this idea and implemented it. For seven children who, together with adults, celebrated the New Year, I bought neon luminous accessories. Previously, these were only bracelets, now there are glasses, beads, head jewelry, ears and sticks. By the way, I bought earrings for myself.

So ... I gathered the children in a separate room and dressed everyone, from toddlers to teenagers, in these jewelry (bracelets on arms and legs are possible):

Then I turned on "Jingle Bells" in a rock version, turned off the light in the room and started all the glowing children. It was very cool as the kids started jumping and spinning, the neon decorations seemed to fill the entire space. I'll tell you, the light show was no worse than those for which corporate parties pay a lot of money :-). All these accessories are sold in almost all stores with festive tinsel.

Dance "Engine" + family disco

This is an excuse to distract all guests from eating salads. We invite adults and children, build according to height and ask them to put their hands on the waist of the previous dancer. This picture makes me happy. Can stand in front long-long teenager, followed by all the grandparents, the “last trailer” is a two-year-old baby. The video is great, don't forget to take it.

I must say, the train falls apart quite quickly, but for us it is also good, since the guests are already ready to dance a little. It’s boring to stomp to one long song at a family party, so we turn on these cuts from hits one by one (copy the link): http://muzofon.com/search/music%20 for%20competitions.

New Year's karaoke (choir battle)

As a rule, karaoke sites have a selection of winter songs. If not, put it in the "favorites" folder in advance so as not to search in new year's eve these songs:

• “A Christmas tree was born in the forest, it grew in the forest ...”
• "The ceiling is icy, the door is creaky"
• "Three White Horses"
• "The little Christmas tree is cold in winter"
• "Blue frost"
• "Snow is falling"
• "Five minutes":
• "Song about bears"

There are sections of New Year's songs on sites with online karaoke, you don't need to search for each one separately.

Not everyone likes to sing solo, so you will have four nominations: children's choir, female choir, male, mixed.

Obstacle dance

All guests become right side rooms. We need again plastic cups. We build a low fence (2 floors) from them, which guests easily overcome by dancing, moving to the left side of the room.

We build another "floor". Everyone again moves, making dance moves, over the wall. So we build until the participants need to jump. The smartest wins a prize!

If there are no benches, we pull the rope (two people hold it) at a height of 20, 30, 40, 50 cm from the floor, and so on.

Photoprobes

You will laugh twice. During the process itself and after some time, when you get the finished pictures.

We use New Year's accessories, do not skimp on facial expressions and gestures!

For each guest, you come up with a casting with photo tests for the role:

• best Santa Claus
• the most greedy Santa Claus
• the most beautiful Snow Maiden
• the sleepiest Snow Maiden
• the most gorged guest
• the happiest guest
• the cunning Baba Yaga
• the most evil Kashchei
• the strongest hero
• the most capricious princess
• the biggest snowflake
• and so on…

Trivia from Santa Claus

In Europe, this entertainment is called "Secret Santa", but we are patriots, we have our own wonderful grandfather. I came up with such a legend ... Santa Claus was walking through the forest with gifts, caught on a branch, and slightly tore the bag. Large gifts remained in the bag, but small ones fell out. We picked them up and now we will give them to all our guests!

We buy small and pleasant little things in advance and wrap them in an opaque wrapping paper. Personally, to speed up the process, I simply put a souvenir in a square piece of paper, shape it into a bag and tie it with a ribbon. I have been shopping for the whole of December - 2-3 things with each shopping cart in the store. By the end of the month, I have a whole bag of kinders, liquid soap in the form of animal figures, candles, frames, calendars, chocolate hares, key chains and lanterns.

Ask "Who is this gift?" You can pull papers out of a hat, but my son likes to appoint the lucky one himself: “Uncle Zhenya!” We give the gift, wait until he demonstrates to everyone the lost trifle from Santa Claus, then the next question “Who is this gift for?” Every time I am surprised with what trepidation the guests are waiting for these gifts ... Even adults :-).

Let's laugh and think

If you have a lot of adults at your party, buy ready-made collections with tasks on cards.

To be honest, I accidentally opened these wonderful task cards at a ridiculous price. We were entertained by a real presenter, but I remembered the box with tasks ... We laughed to the point of hiccups, some words from related languages ​​\u200b\u200bare painfully funny for the Russian ear. Actually, they had to be guessed (options offered).

"Zashkodnik"- 120 double-sided cards. Well, for example, "T-shirt" in translation from Bulgarian is who? Mom, cousin or grandmother? Or what should one imagine if the word in Czech sounds "hammer"? And there are all sorts of stinks, battles and obscurantism (these are all decent words in translation).

What else happens?

• "Bullshit"- a collection of rare words of the Russian language (so rare that even from the proposed options it is difficult to choose the right one to explain the meaning)
• "Why meter"- 120 questions with answers, such as "Why is there a camel on the flag of the Chelyabinsk region?"
• "Citatomer"- 120 cards where you will be asked to complete the quote of a great man
• "Personometer"- 120 name cards. You just need to remember and choose the correct answer: Rabindranath Tagore is WHO?

Sets are available in bookstores in the "Entertainment" section

We offer a version of the children's New Year's holiday with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, the program includes riddles, active contests, songs and dance entertainment.

Scenario New Year's holiday for children of different ages- universal, exciting and very cheerful, it is easy to organize and conduct in any team, especially since the musical accompaniment is attached (thanks to the author!)

Scenario of the New Year's holiday

To the soundtrack, the Snow Maiden enters the hall, examines beautiful Christmas tree, a bright hall and draws attention to children.

Snow Maiden:

Hello!

Happy Holidays my little friends!

You recognized me? Remember who I am

Children (in chorus): Snow Maiden!

Snow Maiden: That's right, Snow Maiden!

And since I came to the kids,

So, the holiday is in the yard!

Everyone celebrates the New Year

They lead a round dance,

Everyone is waiting for gifts and miracles.

Well, that's how it will be today!

Children's New Year's noise maker "So as not to freeze ..."

Now let's dive into the New Year's fairy tale,

But first, let's make some noise and warm up!

So that we do not freeze in the evil frost -

Let's hold on to our noses! (Snow Maiden shows)

So that there is no trouble with the doctors -

Rubbing your frozen cheeks like this! (shows)

So that the hands do not freeze - clap! (claps hands)

And now let's warm our feet and stomp (shows)

And we'll tickle the neighbor a little (The Snow Maiden affectionately tickles several guys)

And, of course, let's laugh together! (ha ha ha)

And now, since you are warm, I have a question:

Who will add fun to everyone?

Children (in chorus): Santa Claus!

Snow Maiden: Yes, we really need Santa Claus,

Let's call him all together, together: "Santa Claus!"

Children (in chorus): Santa Claus!

(to download - click the file)

Under the song "Well, of course, Santa Claus," Santa Claus himself comes out. He greets everyone, inspects the Christmas tree, throws snowballs, throws serpentine, slams the firecracker, etc. (Then the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus lead the program together)

Father Frost: I am glad to see my grandchildren again,

After all, we are not celebrating the New Year for the first time,

And when they meet, what do they say to a friend?

Nice, simple word "hello"!

Guys, where is my fidget Snow Maiden? Here she was, come on!?

(Snow Maiden hides behind Santa Claus and says now from the left, now from the right: "I am here").

Father Frost: Oh, the Snow Maiden is a mischievous girl, fooled around? Enough!

All the guys in the hall are waiting for gifts, congratulations!

Although, probably, the girls and boys here

The same as you, pranksters and rascals?

Snow Maiden: Grandpa, is this how the holiday begins? The guys haven’t seen you for a whole year, they were waiting for a meeting, and you declare to them right away that they, most likely, somehow behave in a wrong way ..

Father Frost: Yes, I kindly scolded only a little, well, well, I'll ask them themselves. The children are beautiful, you must be terrible little rascals?

Children answer: "No!"

Disobedient and ugly?

Children answer: "No!"

Are you lazy and stubborn?

Children answer: "No!"

Are you the best in the world?

Children automatically answer: "No"

Here, yes, they themselves admitted!

Snow Maiden: It's because you confused them.

Father Frost: Yes, I myself know that only smart boys and nice girls have gathered here.

Snow Maiden: Do you think boys are smarter?

Father Frost: And let's check.

Snow Maiden: How to say to you? Probably both are the same.

Snow Maiden: Agree.

Father Frost: Do you guys agree to split into two such teams?

Children's Christmas story- Impromptu "Imagined"

There lived a Snow Maiden. And she went to celebrate the New Year. The weather was wonderful. Light snowflakes swirled in the air. And then the Snow Maiden hears a buzzing. - This is probably someone fly - thought the Snow Maiden. Indeed, this is a bee named Maya flying and holding a barrel of honey in its paws. A bee flies up to the Snow Maiden, gives her a barrel of honey and says: “Treat, Snow Maiden, your friends.” And she flew away. As soon as she flew away, the Snow Maiden hears someone waddling stomping and groaning: “Wow, wow, wow.” And this is Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh came up to the Snow Maiden and said: "Treat me with a honeycomb, Snow Maiden." As soon as he said this, suddenly a hare runs, followed by a hooligan wolf and shouts: “Well, hare, wait a minute!” A hare with a wolf ran up, they also want honey. And then the sound of wheels - tu-tu. A blue wagon rolls, and on it ... Cheburashka and Gena the crocodile, and they say: "Leave us some honey too." Then there was a noise and uproar, everyone was shouting: "Me, me, me." The Snow Maiden was at a loss that she almost dropped a barrel of honey from her hands. It’s good that at that time a kind cat in slippers and a bow around his neck came up and said: “Guys, let's live together!” And then divide the honey equally among all. The animals ate sweet honey and clapped their hands for joy. Like this!

I'll check now. I will offer various decorations, and you turn on your imagination, but be careful, tell me in response, if they decorate the Christmas tree with this, then “yes”, and if they do not decorate, then “no”
