Games and entertainment for the New Year

BALL IN A CIRCLE

All participants in this game become in a circle. Each child is given inflated balloons. But one participant is not given a ball. The leader turns on some New Year's song or, if he has the ability and a musical instrument, plays the melody himself. When the music sounds, the players pass each of their balls to a neighbor. When the music stops, the player without the ball is out of the game. After the player is eliminated, one ball is also removed. If during the game someone's balloon bursts, that participant is also out of the game. The winner is the one who is left last in the game.

LEAF-LOLL

The participants of the game stand in a row. Each is given an album sheet, which they will hold by the corner at arm's length. When the leader gives some command to start the game, for example, ringing a bell, or says: “One, two, three - start!”, Then each player must crumple his piece of paper into a ball (into a fist) with one hand (without helping the other). In this case, the hand with the leaf cannot be lowered. Whoever completes this task, he raises his hand (with a crumpled piece of paper) above his head.

THREE HEROES

Let's choose the three most daring "swindlers". They need to hand out an uninflated balloon. Participants must inflate the balloons until they burst.

The player who bursts the balloon faster than the others wins. As a prize, you can give a whole and brand new balloon.

A COLLECTIVE MASTERPIECE

Any guest who wants to feel like a real artist can participate in this team game. Participants are divided into two or more teams of 3-4 people. Each team is given a piece of paper, preferably A1 format, so that there is a large field for artistic activity. And each participant is given a felt-tip pen (or marker). To make it more interesting, each "artist" is blindfolded (with a handkerchief or scarf). The host calls the topic for drawing, it’s better if it’s something New Year’s (snowman, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden), then commands: “One, two, three - start drawing,” and everyone starts drawing at the same time. The team that draws the fastest will win. But in this competition it is necessary to take into account the accuracy of the work performed.

BLIND ARTIST

There can be several participants in this competition. The presenter must take a pre-prepared drawing paper with two holes cut for the hands. Each participant stands behind the paper and puts his hands through the slots. Then everyone is given a felt-tip pen (or marker) and a landscape sheet. The host says what exactly the participants should draw (preferably something New Year's and not very complicated). The participant must, without seeing what exactly he draws, complete the task of the leader. The winner in this competition is the one who most accurately displays the task on a piece of paper (who will have the most similar).

FIRE ENGINEERS

This competition develops a reaction among the assembled participants. To start this competition, you need to put two chairs with their backs to each other at a distance of 1 m and hang a jacket on each back of the chair, but only the sleeves of these jackets must first be turned inside out. A rope should be placed under the chairs so that its ends “peek out” a little from under the chairs. The contestants stand next to each of their chairs. At the command of the host (the bell rings or the words: “One, two, three - start!”), Both participants must each take “their” jacket, turn out the sleeves, quickly put it on, fasten all the buttons, run around the opponent’s chair, sit on their own. chair and pull the end of the rope. The winner will be the participant who completes all the proposed actions faster than the other in the presence of a properly worn and buttoned jacket.

BRIDGE FROM CLOTHES PEG

Both individual participants and teams can take part in this competition. For him, you need to prepare a large number of clothespins in advance. It is better if they are bright and colorful. Participants are given the same number of clothespins.

They begin to build a "bridge" by attaching one clothespin to the tip of another. The winner will be the participant (or team) who will build their multi-colored “bridge” faster than others. If there are too many clothespins, and there is not enough time for this competition, then you can limit the competition in time. The host can stop the game at any time by giving some signal to end. It can be a bell, a whistle, the words: “One, two, three - stop the competition!” In this case, the winner will be the one whose "bridge" is longer.

STIRLITS

This game develops attention and visual memory. All players freeze in some position. Before that (from among the little guests) a leader is selected, who must memorize as best as possible the poses of the participants and what clothes each of the participants is wearing. After that, he is taken out of the room. All participants try to change something in their postures and clothes (five changes in total). The returning leader must return all the changes that have occurred to the participants to their original state. If he remembered everything correctly, then some prize is awarded to him (or his real desire is fulfilled), while the leader can be replaced and the game repeated. If the leader could not remember the initial position and clothes of the players, then he needs to drive again.

BACK PAINTING

In this competition, the host acts as a judge. All participants are divided into pairs. The couples take turns. The participant draws some figure on his partner's back (you can use some animal, an object that can be depicted). The rest of the participants do not see the "back painting". The partner must guess and depict what his “colleague” drew. It must be convincing so that his “pantomime” is guessed by the other players to whom he showed all this. This is what every couple does. The pair with the most figures guessed wins. For each guessed figure, the host can give the pair a “snowflake”. In this case, the winner is the pair that has more "snowflakes".

STEPS

This competition develops reactions among young participants. All participants in this competition become in a circle, and the leader (who is selected from the little guests) stands in the center of this circle. When the music sounds, the leader begins to dance, and the rest of the participants repeat all the movements after him. During the dance, the leader should unexpectedly and imperceptibly step on someone's foot, and the players should dodge in every possible way. If someone did not have time, then he takes the place of the leader, and the game starts again. It can be carried out until all participants are in the role of leader. If the time for the competition is limited, then the game can be played for 5-10 minutes.

ARTIST REVERSED

For this competition, you need to attach a felt-tip pen (marker) vertically at a distance of 1-1.3 m from the floor (a chair is suitable, on the back of which we attach a writing object with tape). A participant who wants to play the role of an “artist” is given a piece of paper (landscape is suitable for this purpose). The newly minted artist begins to drive a piece of paper under a felt-tip pen, drawing some kind of drawing. It can be something New Year's (it is best to choose something simpler for the drawing: a Christmas tree, a snowflake, skis). When everyone has played enough, you can hold an exhibition of all the "works of art" with a detailed story of the author himself about his work.

FAT COWBOY

It is better to make two boys the participants of this "cowboy competition". They should stand opposite each other. Each participant should put one banana in his pocket. At the signal of the presenter (this may be a whistle), the “cowboys” must quickly grab their bananas from their pockets, peel and eat. The "cowboy" who first manages his "weapon" will win.

EXTRA BALLS

This is a very moving game. It should be carried out after "sedentary" and quiet competitions. All small guests present are divided into two teams. The leader places them in two lines facing each other and draws a line between them. Pre-prepared inflated balloons are thrown between the players. There should be a large number of balls (20-30 pieces), the more there are, the more interesting the game will be. At the leader's signal (whistle, ringing a bell), each team should try to throw the balls out of their own territory and throw them into the opponent's territory. The game can last 3-5 minutes.

MEMORIES OF INFANTITY

This competition is best held after the mobile, when the players begin to be thirsty. All participants in this competition are given glasses with a viscous liquid (it can be jelly, liquid semolina, thick tomato juice) and straws. You can pour liquid into baby bottles with a pacifier. At the command of the leader (these can be the words: “Baby - you, start drinking liquid!”), All participants begin to drink (each from their own container). The winner is the participant who drinks everything faster than the rest. The reward can be a glass of juice (if the participant is not already drunk).

CAPTIVE ARTIST

Those who wish to participate in this competition must tie their hands behind their backs. The host gives him a piece of paper (an album sheet may well be suitable for such a creation) and a felt-tip pen (marker, pen, colored pencil). The player must draw some object or animal with his bound hands (better that connected with the New Year). After the "artist" has finished his "masterpiece", those around him must guess what he painted. This game can be played as a competition. In this case, there should be several "artists". Those who guess the idea of ​​the "artist" are given a "snowflake" cut out of paper. Of those who guessed correctly, the winner will be the one who collects the most "snowflakes", from the "artists" - who will convey their idea more accurately in the drawing.

EAT JELLY WITHOUT REGRET

For this competition, you need to prepare jelly in advance. Each participant (the number of participants depends on the number of portions of jelly) is given a portion of jelly, they are blindfolded and the smallest spoon that you have is given in your hand. Participants need to eat this jelly faster than others. The winner will be not only the fastest, but also the most accurate. You can complicate the competition (depending on the age of the children) by giving them toothpicks instead of spoons.

MATRYOSHKA PARADE

This is a very fun game. All participants must be placed in a circle one after the other. Each is given a scarf. In this game, each participant needs to tie a scarf to a neighbor who has his back to him. At the same time, the "matryoshka" itself should not correct anything on itself, but at the same time tie its scarf in front of the standing "matryoshka". When all participants cope with the task, then a parade of all the "matryoshkas" is held. You can hold a parallel beauty contest of “matryoshkas” and award the prize to “The Most Charming”, “The Most Sloppy”, “The Most Laughing” (that “matryoshka” that will constantly laugh at itself and others).

WHOSE PRIZE?

This game is best played last of all games. She will be remembered for a long time by all the kids and will become the most beloved. For this game, you need to prepare some prizes in advance and wrap them in colored bags. If the bags are made of white paper, then they can be painted with colored felt-tip pens and decorated with tinsel. These bags should be hung on strings and attached to a long rope.

When the presenter hangs all the bags on a rope, each participant in turn closes his eyes with a handkerchief (or scarf), puts scissors in his hands and turns around its axis with the words: “I twist and turn - I want to cut the prize.” At the last words, the leader turns the participant to face the prizes, and the participant cuts off the first bag that comes under his hands.

You can hold several competitions related to songs. Songs are best suited for the New Year and winter. "Song" competitions can be held alternately with the usual ones. Here are some contests you can offer using the songs themselves and the lines from them.

KEEP YOUR MELODY

Several people can take part in this game, but as many as the leader can observe. Each participant chooses a song for himself and begins to sing it out loud. At the same time, he should not pay attention to a neighbor who, shouting over, sings “his” song, and should not stray from the motive and words of “his” song. At the clap of the host, everyone continues to sing their song mentally. After the leader claps his hands again, everyone again begins to sing aloud, shouting over the neighbor. The facilitator carefully observes that all participants sing the motive and words correctly. The participant who has gone astray from "his" song is out of the game. The winner is the one who sang his song to the end, never getting lost. As a prize, he can be offered to sing a verse of his favorite song that he sang, but without any interference.

LOST WORDS

For this game, you need to prepare leaflets in advance (you can take landscape ones). On each piece of paper you need to write 1-2 lines from some New Year's songs. There should be as many leaves as there are participants in this game.

The facilitator lays out the leaves on the floor with lines down. When the game starts, the participants take the pieces of paper, read the lines on them. This game is best played with those participants who already know how to read. They need to find players with the words from the same song. Those participants who find each other faster than others will win.

SONG TURNED UP

The host begins to sing a song (preferably some well-known, New Year's one). But the words from one song are sung to the motive of another song (For example: the words from the song “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest” are sung to the motive of the song “Little Christmas Tree”). The participant who guesses which song was taken as the basis for the performance will win. The winner can become the host and mix up the next song himself. It will be more incomprehensible if there are two presenters and they will perform the proposed songs in a duet.

Winter is coming, which means it's time to think about how to properly prepare for the meeting of the Year of the Pig 2019. And it is important, in addition to menus and outfits, to think over contests for the new year, New Year's games and entertainment, because they will revive the company, they will not let get bored, fill the holiday with joy and laughter.

Bustle will soon begin in every house, someone will rush to choose gifts for their loved ones, someone will go after the forest beauty, in order to decorate it later with all kinds of ribbons, balls, bows, crackers and garlands, and someone will make a New Year's table menu. You also need to buy in advance for relatives and friends.

All this is important, because the holidays are not complete:

• without champagne, sparklers, heaps of gifts.

For this contest, prepare some delicate dish - for example, jelly. The task of the participants is to eat it as quickly as possible using matches or toothpicks.

16. Smeshinka

Each player gets some name, say, a cracker, a lollipop, an icicle, a garland, a needle, a flashlight, a snowdrift ... The driver goes around everyone in a circle and asks various questions:

Who are you? - Flapper. - What holiday is today? - Lollipop. - And what is it with you (pointing to the nose)? - Icicle. - And what drips from the icicle? - Garland...

Each participant must answer any questions with their "name", while the "name" can be inflected accordingly. Questioners should not laugh. Whoever laughs is out of the game and gives up his phantom. Then a drawing of tasks for forfeits is held.

17. Mask, I know you

The leader puts on a mask to the player. The player asks different questions to which he receives answers - hints:

This animal? - No. - Human? - No. - Bird? - Yes! - Homemade? - Not really. - Does she cackle? - No. - Quacking? - Yes! - It's a duck!

The one who guesses correctly gets the mask itself as a prize.

18. Harvest

The task of the players of each team is to transfer oranges to a certain place as quickly as possible without the help of hands. Santa Claus is the leader. He gives the start and announces the winner.

19. Tear the newspaper

Santa Claus chooses 2 contestants. The task is to tear the newspaper as soon as possible and smaller. With one hand, right or left, it doesn’t matter - tear the newspaper into small pieces, while the hand is stretched forward, you can’t help with your free hand. Who will do the job less.

20. Fairy tale

When you have gathered at least 5-10 guests (age does not matter), offer them this game. Take a children's book with a fairy tale (the simpler - the better, ideal - "Ryaba Hen", "Kolobok", "Turnip", "Teremok", etc.). Choose a leader (he will be a reader). Write out all the heroes of the fairy tale from the book on separate sheets, including, if the number of people allows, trees, stumps, a river, buckets, etc. All guests pull pieces of paper with roles. The host begins to read the fairy tale, and all the characters "come to life" ....

21. Laughter

Plays any number of participants. All participants in the game, if it is a free area, form a large circle. In the center - the driver (Santa Claus) with a handkerchief in his hands. He throws the handkerchief up, while he flies to the ground, everyone laughs loudly, the handkerchief is on the ground - everyone subsides. As soon as the handkerchief touched the ground, this is where the laughter begins, and we take a phantom from the funniest ones - this is a song, a verse, etc.

22. Rope

It is necessary that the majority of those gathered before this did not play it. In an empty room, a long rope is taken, and a labyrinth is stretched so that a person, passing, sits down somewhere, steps over somewhere. Having invited another player from the next room, they explain to him that he must go through this labyrinth blindfolded, before that remembering the location of the rope. The audience will tell him. When the player is blindfolded, the rope is removed. The player sets out on a journey by stepping over and crawling under a non-existent rope. Spectators are asked in advance not to give out the secret of the game.

23. Roll

This game will help to get to know all your guests. Guests sitting at the table pass a roll of toilet paper in a circle. Each guest tears off as many scraps as he wants, the more the better. When each guest has a stack of scraps, the host announces the rules of the game: each guest must tell as many facts about himself as he has torn scraps.

24. With signs

At the entrance, each guest receives his new name - a piece of paper with an inscription is attached to his back (giraffe, hippopotamus, mountain eagle, bulldozer, bread slicer, rolling pin, cucumber, etc.). Each guest can read the names of the other guests, but, of course, cannot read the names of himself. The task of each guest is to learn their new name from the others during the evening. Guests can only answer "Yes" or "No" to questions. The first to know what is written on his piece of paper wins.

25. Joke game

All guests stand in a circle and put their hands on each other's shoulders. The host (Santa Claus) says "duck" or "goose" in everyone's ear (in a scatter, say "duck" to a larger number of players). Then he explains the rules of the game: "If I now say:" Goose ", then all the players whom I called so, draw in one leg. And if it is "Duck", then the players whom I called "Duck" draw in both legs. A lot is guaranteed to you.

26. Mysterious chest

Each of the two players has their own chest or suitcase containing various items of clothing. The players are blindfolded, and at the command of the leader, they begin to put on things from the chest. The task of the players is to dress up as quickly as possible.

27. Colors

The players become in a circle. The leader commands: "Touch yellow, one, two, three!" Players as quickly as possible try to take hold of the thing (object, part of the body) of the other participants in the circle. Who did not have time - leaves the game. The host repeats the command again, but with a new color. The last one left wins.

28. Ride the ball

All participants of the competition line up in teams of 3 people. Each "troika" of players receives a tight volleyball. At the signal of the leader, one of the players of the trio, supported under the elbows by two other players, stepping on the ball, rolls it. The group that reaches the finish line first wins.

29. Draw the sun

Teams take part in this relay game, each of which lines up in a column "one at a time". At the start, in front of each team, there are gymnastic sticks according to the number of players. In front of each team, at a distance of 5-7 meters, put a hoop. The task of the relay race participants is to alternately, on a signal, running out with sticks, spread them out in rays around their hoop - "draw the sun." The team that completes the task faster wins.

30. Walkers

Participants are invited, standing with one foot on the base of the dumbbell, and with the other, starting from the floor, overcome a given distance.

31. Sculptors

The participants of the game are given plasticine or clay. The host shows or calls a letter, and the players must, as quickly as possible, blind an object whose name begins with this letter.

32. All the way around

Players are invited to try to draw or color something, but with their left hand, and those who are left-handed - with their right.

33. Crumple up the paper

Inventory: Newspapers according to the number of participants. Game: An unfolded newspaper spreads on the floor in front of the players. The task is to crumple the newspaper at the signal of the presenter, trying to collect the entire sheet into a fist. Winner: The participant who gathered the newspaper into a ball the fastest.

34. New Year's game

For the game we need:

Long rope; - threads; - scissors 1 piece; - a bandage on the eyes, so as not to see anything; - children, adults who will play; - and of course gifts for everyone (sweets, decorative toys, soaps, etc.).

We stretch and fasten a long rope (if there is nowhere to fasten it, then someone will have to hold it). We hang our gifts on a long rope with a thread (or, to make it New Year's, we hang it on a Christmas tree rain).

We take a player, blindfold him, give him scissors in his hands, twist him, then direct him towards the hanging gifts so that he can cut off his gift, then the next player, etc.

35. Competition with gifts

The host (adult) or Santa Claus invites the participants - the children to guess what is in the bag - by touch? How many nuts (sweets, etc.) are in the bag? Which animal toy is hidden in the bag? How many pages are in the book? What is the name of the doll, etc. and so on.? The one who answers correctly receives this thing as a prize.

36. Game

Santa Claus without a nose is drawn on a large sheet of paper and hung on the wall. Sculpt the nose from plasticine, and the children take turns blindfolded trying to stick the nose in place. In a company of kids, the behavior of the driver usually causes wild joyful laughter.

37. Snowflake

Each child is given a "snowflake", that is, a small ball of cotton wool. Children loosen their snowflakes and, at your signal, launch them into the air and begin to blow on them from below so that they stay in the air as long as possible. The smartest one wins.

38. Dress up the Christmas tree.

They make several Christmas toys from cotton wool (apples, pears, fish) with wire hooks and a fishing rod with the same hook. It is necessary to hang all the toys on the Christmas tree with the help of a fishing rod, and then remove them with the same fishing rod. The winner is the one who manages to do it in a set time, for example, two minutes. A spruce branch fixed on a stand can serve as a herringbone.

39. With a hat

There are different words in the hat; children take it in turns to take out, read and sing lines from songs where these words occur. Songs (and words) should be about winter and the New Year holiday (herringbone, round dance, frost, hoarfrost, snowflake, icicle, etc.).

40. Associations

Let the guys take turns listing everything that happens in the New Year: Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, snow, gifts, Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, cake, needles, on the floor, lanterns, and more. The one who runs out of ideas is out of the game, and the most persistent wins. The child for a minute (or any other established time) carefully looks at the tree, and then turns away and lists in as much detail as possible what hangs on it. The one who remembers the most wins. Of course, if the host kid studied his Christmas tree in advance, or even dressed it up himself, then his winnings will not be very fair: he probably shouldn’t compete.

41. Touch

As many toys as possible are put into Santa's bag. Each child puts his hand in there, determines by touch what he caught there, and describes in detail. After everyone has got a toy out of the bag, you can announce that these are New Year's gifts (this, of course, is not improvisation, you took care of the gifts in advance).

42. Ice cream

The Snow Maiden's favorite delicacy is ice cream. Children take turns naming the types of ice cream. Whoever thinks for more than 5 seconds loses. They pull the rope, various small prizes (toys, sweets, etc.) are hung on strings on it. The participant is blindfolded and given scissors. He must go to the rope and cut off the prize that he can. Then the next participant receives the scissors. And so on until the prizes run out (prepare more of them).

43. Competition: cut a snowflake out of a napkin (paper) as quickly as possible.

44. Build a snowman

To play, you need two flannelgraphs (a board or a frame with a flannel stretched over them measuring 100x70 cm) and parts of the Snowman figure cut out of paper and glued onto the flannel, a carrot nose, a broom, a hat (2 sets). Two compete. Everyone tries to collect their Snowman as soon as possible.

45. Trap

Having run away from the Snowman (or Santa Claus), the children stop and, clapping their hands, say: "One-two-three! One-two-three! Well, hurry up and catch us!" With the end of the text, everyone scatters. Snowman (Santa Claus) is catching up with the children.

46. ​​Playing with rattles

Children, holding rattles in their hands, run in all directions to the cheerful music around the hall. When the music ends, the children stop and hide the rattles behind their backs. The fox (or another character participating in the game) is looking for rattles. She asks the children to show her first one, then the other hand. Children behind their backs shift rattles from one hand to another, as if showing that there is nothing in their hand. The fox is surprised that the rattles have disappeared. The music plays again and the game repeats.

47. Hares and fox

Children follow the text.

Bunnies ran across the forest lawn. These are the bunnies, Bunnies - runaways. (Children-bunnies easily run around the hall.) The bunnies sat in a circle, They dig a root with their paws. These are the bunnies, Bunnies - runaways.

("Bunnies" sit down and perform imitative movements in the text.)

Here is a fox running - Red-haired sister. Looking for where the bunnies are, Bunnies are running around.

(The fox runs between the children, catches up with the kids with the end of the song.)

48. Christmas tree

The game is played by 2 teams of 2 people. At the end of the hall there are 2 boxes for each team: in one, a dismantled Christmas tree, in the other - toys. The first participant must assemble the Christmas tree, the second - decorate it with toys. The team that completes the task the fastest wins.

49. Who will score more snowballs

Two children are playing. Snowballs from cotton wool are scattered on the floor. The children are blindfolded and given a basket each. On a signal, they begin to collect snowballs. The one with the most snowballs wins.

50. Boots

Large boots are placed in front of the Christmas tree. Two children are playing. On a signal, they run around the Christmas tree from different sides. The winner is the one who runs around the Christmas tree faster and puts on boots.

51. Give the snowman a nose

2 coasters are placed in front of the Christmas tree, large sheets with the image of snowmen are attached to them. Two or more children are involved. They are blindfolded. On a signal, the children should reach the snowmen and stick their nose (it could be a carrot). Other children help with words: to the left, to the right, below, above ...

52. Carry in a bag

A bag is placed in front of the Christmas tree (it is partitioned into 2 parts, one of them has no bottom). Santa Claus calls children who want to ride in a bag. He puts the child in a bag and carries him around the Christmas tree. He puts another child in that part of the bag where there is no bottom. Santa Claus walks around the Christmas tree, and the child remains in place. Santa Claus returns and is “surprised”. The game is repeated.

Several couples are involved. Children stand opposite each other at a distance of approximately 4 meters. One child has an empty bucket, the other has a bag with a certain amount of “snowballs” (tennis or rubber balls). On a signal, the child throws snowballs, and the partner tries to catch them with a bucket. The pair that finishes the game first and collects the most snowballs wins.

54. Guess who I am!

The game is more fun when many guests take part in it at once. The leader is blindfolded, the rest join hands and stand around the "blind". The host claps his hands, and the guests begin to move in a circle. The host claps again - and the circle freezes. Now the host must point to a player and try to guess who it is.

If he manages to do it on the first try, then the one who was guessed leads. As a variant of this game, you can introduce a rule according to which the host can ask the player to reproduce something, portray an animal - bark or meow, etc.

55. Break the Ice

Everyone is divided into two teams, each receives one ice cube (it is desirable that the cubes are the same size). The challenge is to melt the ice as soon as possible. The cube must constantly move from one player to another. Participants can warm it in their hands, rub it, etc. The team that melts the ice first wins.

56. Association run

The person sitting on the edge says two random words aloud. For example: a safe and an orange. The next participant, clockwise, describes aloud the image connecting the second word with the first. For example, "a giant orange rolls out of an open safe" and then names his new invented word, such as "egg".

The third participant connects the second word with the third phrase: "There was an egg under the orange peel", and sets his word. The next one connects this word with the previous one, and so on. So the game goes in a circle. At any time, the host can give the command "Stop" and ask the one on whom the game stopped to repeat the entire chain of words: safe, orange, egg, etc. The child who failed to complete the task is eliminated and the game starts again.

Games and contests with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden in round dances and near the Christmas tree

round dances

The traditional New Year's round dance can be complicated, made more entertaining. The leader sets the tone for the round dance, changes the pace of movement, direction. After one or two circles, a round dance can be led by a snake, maneuvering between guests and furniture. The steeper the loops of the snake, the more fun. The leader along the way can come up with various options: include in the chain those who are not participating in the round dance, slow down sharply, etc.

Decorate the Christmas tree

There are two artificial Christmas trees in the hall. - There are only a few minutes left before the New Year, - says the Snow Maiden, - and these Christmas trees have not yet been decorated. Perhaps there are two dexterous people in the hall who will quickly do this. Cardboard toys, papier-mache and other unbreakable toys are laid out on tables 5-6 steps from the Christmas tree. But to complete the task of the Snow Maiden is not so easy.

The Snow Maiden reports that a short circuit has occurred, and the Christmas trees will have to be decorated in the dark (blindfolded). Perhaps someone will hang their toys on a neighbor's tree, but the one whose tree is more elegant will win.

circle toy

Santa Claus invites the participants to stand facing each other. Music begins to play, and a toy, for example, a doll with the image of the Snow Maiden, passing from hand to hand, moves in a circle. The music stops, the transfer of the toy stops. Whoever has the doll left is out of the game. The game continues until one person remains. If there are a lot of players, you can put several dolls in a circle.

Compliments to the Snow Maiden

Santa Claus summons a young man who wants to play, who should say compliments to the Snow Maiden, taking out matches from an apple completely studded with matches. His Santa Claus gives the player before the start of the competition.

Snowballs

In a suspended (or standing on the floor) basket, you need to throw 6 “snowballs” - white tennis balls from a distance of 6-7 steps. The one who will cope with this task most accurately will win.

Snowflakes

The Snow Maiden invites several guests to take light cotton snowflakes from the tray. Each player tosses his snowflake and, blowing on it, tries to keep it in the air as long as possible. The one who dropped his fluff can approach a friend and help him complete the task of the Snow Maiden.

magic words

The game is led by the Snow Maiden, she invites two teams of 10 people each, gives them a set of large letters that make up the word "Snow Maiden", Each participant receives one letter. The task is as follows: in the story read by the Snow Maiden, there will be words made up of these letters. As soon as such a word is uttered, the owners of the letters that make it up must come forward and, rebuilding, form this word. The team ahead of the opponents gets a point.

sample story

There was a fast river. Snow fell on the fields. The mountain behind the village became white. And the bark on the birches sparkled with hoarfrost. Somewhere the sleigh runners creak. Where are they heading?

Centipede racing

In a fairly spacious room, you can hold centipede races. The players are divided into two teams and line up at the back of each other's head, taking the belt in front of them with their hands. A chair is placed at the opposite wall, which the chain of players must go around, and then return back. If the chain is broken, the leader can count the team as a loser. The task can be complicated and made more ridiculous if the teams move half-crouched, if both teams perform the task at the same time.

A variant of this game is "Snake". The "head" - the first in the column - must catch the "tail" that eludes it. Having caught it, the "head" goes to the end of the column, the game is repeated again. The “torn off” chain links are considered losers and are out of the game.

Two Frosts

A group of guys is located at one end of the hall (room) beyond the conditional line. Drivers - Frosts - are in the middle of the hall. They turn to the guys with the words:

We are two young brothers, (Together): Two frosts are remote. - I am Frost-red nose. - I am Frost-blue nose. Which of you will dare to set off on a journey?

Everyone answers:

We are not afraid of threats, and we are not afraid of frost! The players run to the other side of the hall behind the "home" line. Both Frosts catch and "freeze" those who run across. Those immediately stop at the place where they were “frozen”. Then the Frosts again turn to the players, and they, having answered, run across the hall, helping out the “frozen” ones: they touch them with their hands, and they join the rest.

Auction Santa Claus says:

There is a wonderful tree in our hall. And what toys on it! What do you know about Christmas decorations? This magnificent prize will be given to the person with the last answer. Players take turns saying words. During pauses, the host begins to slowly count: “Clapperboard - one, cracker - two ...” The auction continues.

Prank game

Santa Claus announces to the audience that none of those present will be able to repeat after him the three short phrases that he will say. Of course, no one will agree with him. Then Santa Claus, as if looking for words, utters a short phrase. For example: "Today is a wonderful evening." Everyone confidently repeats this phrase. Santa Claus, embarrassed, looks for and uncertainly says the second phrase. It is also easily repeated by everyone. Then he quickly and joyfully says: “So you made a mistake!” The crowd is protesting. And Santa Claus explains that his third phrase, which had to be repeated, was: “So you made a mistake!”

Two are better than one

Any three toys are placed on the floor: a ball, a cube, a skittle. Two players come out and start dancing around them (the game can be played to music). As soon as the music stops or Santa Claus gives the command "Stop!", each player should try to grab two toys. Whoever gets one loses. The game can be complicated: increase the number of participants and, accordingly, the number of toys or objects. Whoever grabs the most toys wins.

Under a lucky star

The winner of this game will be the one who first finds a star hanging from the ceiling with a number announced by the host. Stars with a large number written on both sides are pre-hung on threads from the ceiling of the room (or hall) where the dances will take place. As the dance progresses, the music stops for a minute, and Santa Claus proclaims: “Lucky Star - 15!” The dancers try to quickly find a star with this number. The winner is awarded a prize.

Watch your back

Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden gives various commands to those standing in a circle, and they must be carried out only if the word “please” is added to the command, for example, “Please put your hands up”, “Lower your right hand!”, “Please clap your hands” and etc. The game is fun, at a fast pace. Those who make a mistake are out of the game. The remaining one is awarded the title of “Most Attentive Guest” and a prize is awarded.

Letter to Santa Claus

Children are asked to name 13 adjectives: "fat", "red", "hot", "hungry", "sluggish", "dirty"...

When all the adjectives are written down, the presenter takes out the text of the letter and inserts the missing adjectives from the list into it. Telegram text:

"... Grandfather Frost! All... the children are looking forward to your... arrival. New Year is the most... holiday of the year. We will sing for you... songs, dance... dances! Finally- then the New Year will come! How I hate to talk about... studies. We promise that we will receive only... grades. So, open your... bag as soon as possible and give us... gifts. Regards to you... boys and... girls!"

Santa Claus is coming to us

In this game, it is proposed to first memorize the text:

Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming to us, Santa Claus is coming to us. And we know that Santa Claus brings us gifts.

After the text has been repeated, it is proposed to replace words with movements and gestures. The first words that are replaced are the word "we". Instead of these words, everyone points to themselves. With each new performance, there are fewer words, and more gestures. Instead of the words "Santa Claus" everyone points to the door, the word "goes" is replaced by walking on the spot, the word "know" - touch the forehead with the index finger, the word "gifts" - a gesture depicting a large bag. At the last performance, all words disappear, except for prepositions and the verb "will bring."

It's me. it's me, it's all my friends...

The host, having learned the questions in advance, asks them to the children, who answer with the same phrase. Many more questions can be asked. The main thing is to have fun.

- Who walks to school like a merry gang every day? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you, say aloud, catches flies at the lesson? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Who is not afraid of frost, flies like a bird on skates? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you, when you grow up, will only go to astronauts? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you does not walk gloomy, loves sports and physical education? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you, so good, went sunbathing in galoshes? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. Who does their homework on time? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which of you keeps books, pens and notebooks in order? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. “Which of you kids walks dirty to the ears?” It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. - Which one of you walks upside down on the pavement? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. “Which one of you, I want to know, has five diligence?” It's me, it's me, it's all my friends. How many of you come to class an hour late? It's me, it's me, it's all my friends.

What is on the tree?

The facilitator memorizes the following rhymes in advance. You can come up with many more new ones. The task of the game is explained to the children: when you hear the name of a Christmas tree toy, you need to raise your hand up and say: “Yes!”, And when something that does not happen on the Christmas tree is called, you must restrain yourself and remain silent. The facilitator does not pronounce the text very quickly, but also without giving the children time to think too much. Very soon it becomes funny to everyone, because mistakes inevitably occur.

What changed?

This game requires good visual memory. Participants are offered a task in turn: for a minute, examine the toys hanging on one or two branches of the Christmas tree and remember them. Then you need to leave the room - at this time, several toys (three or four) will outweigh: some will be removed, others will be added. Entering the room, you need to examine your branches and say what has changed. Depending on age, you can complicate and simplify tasks.

Game for the New Year's round dance (Condition: the leader reads poetry, and the participants in the game say "and I" after those quatrains, where appropriate).

I love to walk in the snow And I love to play snowballs. I love skiing, I also love skating. I love to sing, play and dance in winter and summer. And I also like to chew sweets Right with a candy wrapper. I love to fly on a sled So that the wind whistles ... Today I put on a warm fur coat inside out. I guessed riddles And received gifts, I ate a lot of sweet apples, I didn’t get bored for a minute! Both girls and boys In a round dance rather run, And fluffy bunnies Sleep under the Christmas tree in the snow. So our feet danced, Even the floor began to creak, And in the forest in his lair Before spring, the bear fell asleep. Our Christmas tree is full of toys. Ah, what a beauty! The cracker clapped loudly, And inside it is empty. This New Year's holiday I will never forget. I've been composing all day today - It's rubbish!

New Year's round dance (The host or Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden recite the chant, and the participants in the round dance repeat the chorus).

We seem to be in a wonderful fairy tale Or maybe in a dream. Who is there in a terrible mask Approaching me? Chorus: I don't recognize you, But don't stand still! I dance and sing, Let's dance together! Hares, squirrels, fairies, wolves... This is a disguised people. We dance around the green Christmas tree. Chorus: Our Christmas tree is so beautiful, All in toys and lights. Lights shine playfully, Are reflected in the eyes. Chorus: Santa Claus dances with us And the Snow Maiden sings. This is a meeting with miracles, This is a holiday, New Year!

New Year is the main and most anticipated winter holiday, especially for children. What child will not be delighted with a cheerful round dance around a festively decorated Christmas tree sparkling with multi-colored lights, the presence of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden? And funny contests, games for children will make the New Year even more interesting. Even a simple collective game will seem especially exciting if a friendly children's team with a positive attitude participates in it. The kids especially like children's games and contests for the New Year, in which incentive prizes are provided for the victory in addition to the usual New Year's gifts.

Competitions for the little ones

Christmas story

The competition for the New Year in kindergarten is often based on fairy tales. Here the kids have to come up with their own fairy tale. First, they need to be divided into 2 teams. Each of the teams in turn asks leading questions: “Once upon a time, who were there?”, “Where did they live?”, “Where did they go?”, “And who did they meet?” etc. The children first consult within their team, and then give collective answers. So you can accompany the whole scenario of a fairy tale. Surely both tales will turn out to be very original, so it is hardly worth choosing a winner here.

Where is the tree?

When choosing contests for the children of employees for the New Year, you can try this one. All children are divided into 2 teams, and each chooses a captain. After that, both teams line up in two parallel lines. The leader of each team gives three flags to the captain of each team: fairy-tale characters or animals are drawn on two of them, and a Christmas tree on the third. This is followed by the leader's command, and the team captains pass one flag back down the chain, with the flag with the Christmas tree being passed last. As soon as the last player in the chain receives this flag, he must raise his hand with it up and shout "Yolka!". The team whose flag rises first wins.

magic scooter

Mobile children's New Year's games and competitions always especially attract children. For this game, you will need small artificial Christmas trees and a couple of scooters. Children need to be divided into 2 teams and line them up opposite their row of arranged Christmas trees. Then the leader gives a start and the first pair of competitors on scooters must go around in a circle each of the Christmas trees in their row, then return to the team and pass the scooter to the next participant. The team that gets to the finish line first and knocks down fewer Christmas trees will win.

cat and mice

For this competition, you will need a long elastic band (3-4 m), the ends of which must be tied. Among the children, a “cat” is selected, which sits in the middle of the circle formed by the “mice” and “sleeps”. The elastic band should be slightly stretched, covering the legs of the mice from the outside at the level of the ankles. Then the music turns on, and the mice carelessly dance first clockwise, then against. But suddenly the music stops, the cat wakes up, and then the mice need to jump out of the rubber band as quickly as possible, and the gaping mouse becomes a cat. Then the mice return to the circle, but this time the elastic is raised to the level of the knees, and the whole action is repeated. Further, the elastic band rises to the level of the belt, back, neck and, finally, the arms raised up. Such New Year's competitions for the children of employees can unite all the kids, even if they have not met before.

ringlet

First, the driver is selected - the one who has to look for the ring, and he temporarily leaves the room. The rest of the players line up in a circle: one of them hides the ring, and then everyone folds their hands behind their backs. Then the driver is launched into the center of the circle formed by the players. Then he tries to understand by the eyes who has the ring. Children are too simple-hearted and, as a rule, quickly betray themselves by facial expressions or glances. Such competitions for children for the New Year at home can be held without fear that something will break or someone will get dirty.

Who is first?

For this New Year's fun, you will need a couple of chairs and sets of winter clothes. The sleeves of winter jackets must be turned inside out, and in this form, hang on each chair, and put a scarf, hat and gloves on the seat. The game is divided into several rounds according to the number of pairs of children available. Each pair stands at the ready not far from their chair, and as soon as the leader gives the command, both players rush to the chairs. They must quickly turn the jacket back to its normal position, put it on, as well as other details of clothing. The first one to put everything on has to sit on a chair and loudly shout “Happy New Year!”.

Christmas bags

If you are coming up with new competitions for children of 10 years old, do not forget about the competitive component, when the child strives to do something better or faster than others. This competition is an ideal version of such a game.

All its participants need to be divided into pairs, which will compete. The facilitator gives each participant a beautifully decorated bag and brings them to the table, on which there are two boxes filled with various items, including unbreakable Christmas tree figurines and toys. After that, both players are blindfolded and, on command, they must begin to blindly collect items from boxes in their bags, and only those related to the New Year will be taken into account in the calculation. Only one item is allowed to be picked up at a time. While the bags are being filled, the music plays, and after about a minute it stops, the players are uncovered and offered to compare the contents of their bags. The winner is the one who collects more items related to the New Year holiday.

New Year's costume

New Year's competitions for children 10-11 years old can be a little more difficult. For this competition, you will need a fairly large sheet of paper, scissors, pins, glue and tape. Participants are given a certain time (for example, 10-15 minutes), during which they must model and make a New Year's costume, and even arrange a show for the public, tell what it is for (for example, it is a fancy dress or evening dress). The audience votes for their favorite outfit with louder applause. The fashion designer who caused the most noisy applause wins.

Christmas tree with a surprise

Competitions like this for a New Year's party for children require more thorough and lengthy preparation. Here you will need to make a Christmas tree layout out of cardboard, and cut holes in it to indicate Christmas balls. On the back side of the "Christmas tree" under each such hole, you can attach a bag. During the matinee, the presenter gives each contestant 5 small balls and explains that they need to get into the holes in the "Christmas tree". The winner will be the one who does it more often than others and will receive a prize, which can be hidden among the branches of a real Christmas tree.

Ball with a surprise

New Year's contests for children aged 7-12 offer such an interesting option: comic New Year's tasks are written on scraps of paper, after which they are put into balloons and inflated. Each participant of the competition receives such a ball with a task, which he must burst without touching his hands. Having come up with a way to do this, the player must complete the task found in the ball (sing, dance, and something like that). Whoever manages to make the funniest performance wins.

Competitions for children of any age

collect snowball

3-4 teams can participate in this fun at the same time. First you need to prepare a lot of small white balloons that will play the role of snowballs, as well as large garbage bags. At one end, the bags must be cut so that legs can be inserted into these holes and a kind of harem pants would be obtained. Then, from each competing team, a participant is selected who must put on these "harem pants", and the rest of the team, at the sign of the leader, must begin to collect snowballs in them. Whoever collects the most impromptu snowballs will win.

We decorate the Christmas tree

Many children's competitions for the New Year are dedicated to decorating the Christmas tree. For this competition, you need to prepare two small artificial Christmas trees, as well as a couple of boxes that contain unbreakable Christmas tree decorations. There should be a distance of about 2-4 meters between the trees and the boxes. Then the contestants are divided into two teams, and each takes its starting position near its box of decorations. The host gives a command, and the competitors take turns decorating their Christmas tree. Each player can take only one toy at a time. The winner is the team whose box is empty first.

Snowballs

To hold this competition, you will need plastic buckets and snowballs made of cotton wool, fabric or synthetic winterizer, for beauty and compactness, tied with a silvery rain. Participants of the competition must be divided into two equal teams and give each of them 2-3 snowballs. Place buckets 3-4 meters from the teams. The task of the players is to throw their projectiles exactly into their bucket. When everyone shoots back, you need to check which of the buckets had more snowballs - that team won.

New Year's tinsel

This game will require bright tinsel and a perky New Year's melody. From the children present, two equal teams are recruited, which line up, and the host of the game gives each of their participants one string of tinsel. On command, the first player must tie the tinsel on the neighbor's hand, and he does the same along the chain. The last member of the team must run up to the first and also tie his tinsel on his hand. After that, the team captain must raise his hand, decorated with tinsel up - whoever does it first, that team won. When preparing this competition, adults need to take into account that some types of tinsel can get hurt, so you need to choose it very carefully.

It's me!

Fun New Year's competitions for elementary school children can be replenished with the following entertainment: an adult must quickly ask questions, and children answer them “It's me!”.

What kind of animal?

Looking for funny New Year's contests for children, you can pay attention to this one. For him, you will need a variety of masks depicting animals. The player must close their eyes, after which they put on a mask of a certain animal. The task of the player himself is to guess who he has now turned into, based on the prompts of others. He may ask questions about the size of the teeth, the color of the coat, etc., as well as whether it is a domestic or wild animal. But you can only answer "yes" and "no". Of course, there should be no mirrors in the room, otherwise the secret will quickly be revealed.

tightrope walkers

Children of all ages can participate in this competition. They need to be divided into 2 equal teams and lined up in two parallel rows, and before the first number of each team, lay a rope on the floor. This competition consists of three stages, the complexity of which is increasing.

1. The first players must simultaneously begin to walk along the rope in small steps, trying not to stumble and not step on the floor. Having reached the end of the rope, you need to turn around and return to your team, where you can pass the baton to the next “rope walker”.
2. The next task is to grapple into a train, taking the front member of the team by the waist, and on the same conditions, only all together, go along the rope in one and the other direction.
3. One by one, walk along the rope, but only with your back forward.

Teams can also be formed from members of the same family, it will turn out even more fun.

Height meter

Such New Year's competitions for children 7-8 years old will be very funny. In this case, it is necessary to measure the growth of all participants in any oblong objects. Everyone will be interested to know what their height is in pillows, cucumbers or pencils. You can invent as many such length standards as you like. Children, having amused themselves, will surely begin to suggest what else they can be measured in, which should be done. At the end of the "research" you need to draw up a "scientific" document. As a basis, you can take a New Year's card, on which you write in advance: "My height" and then list the units of measurement, and during the competition enter the data received there.

New Year's chain

Often, the size of the apartments does not allow for noisy games and running around, then adults are forced to look for quieter contests on the New Year theme for children. For example, this one:

Divide the children present at the holiday into 2 teams and give them sheets of paper, scissors and an adhesive pencil. In a short time (5-7 minutes), the teams must cut the paper into strips, which they glue with rings into a long New Year's chain. Whoever has it longer is the winner.

New Year's contest "Hold the snowflake"

Fluffy, not very dense snowflakes should be rolled up from pieces of synthetic winterizer or cotton wool, such that they would easily flutter in the air from a light breath of air. Two players from each team are selected and given one such snowflake. Players on a team throw a snowflake and blow on it, preventing it from falling. Whoever stays in the air the longest wins.

At the end, when all the snowflakes have been collected, Santa Claus counts the number of snowflakes for each team. Whoever has more - he won.

“New Year's Tantamaresques”

This type of organization of free leisure is not new. Even in Soviet times, various characters were depicted on Whatman sheets, and a place was cut out to insert a child's face.

Tantamaresques were dabbled in during the holidays back in Soviet times

Such fun is suitable for a photo shoot or selfie, which is so popular among modern kids. Currently, you can use the latest technologies and, having created a layout in Corel or Photoshop, print it out and get an excellent tantamaresque banner for the New Year. If this is not possible, draw pictures on paper, cardboard, old wallpaper, etc.

If there are a lot of tantamares, then you can organize the game "Guess your character". To do this, the child "trying on" a banner with a cutout for the face and trying to guess who he is. The conditions of the game are to ask such questions that others can only answer “yes” or “no”.

With the help of tantamares you can play the game “Guess the character”

For example, to reveal the secret of the character, the following questions will help:

• "this animal?";
• "cartoon character?";
• "hero of a fairy tale?";
• “is it red (green, blue, white, etc.)?”;
• "does he have a hat?" and etc.

So gradually, asking their friends and getting monosyllabic answers, the boy or girl must guess who they are portraying. Tantamaresque on the eve of the New Year 2017 can be presented in the form of a Snowman, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Christmas Tree, Christmas ball, Rooster.

"Snowball"

A beautifully decorated lump (paper rolled into a ball and decorated with rain) is given to children, all players become in a circle. Music plays, and Santa Claus or the presenter counts aloud to five, while the children must pass the ball from hand to hand. As soon as the leader pronounces the number “five”, the music stops, and the kid in whose hands the lump remains must either read the rhyme, or dance, or let him guess the riddle (guess Santa Claus or the leader).

“Christmas trees happen”

Children stand around the Christmas tree, do not hold hands, and Santa Claus explains the rules. He pronounces the phrase: “Christmas trees are…” and adds the words: “wide”, “narrow”, “high”, “low”. With the phrase “Christmas trees are wide” - children should walk in a circle, making it as wide as possible. With the phrase of Santa Claus “Christmas trees are high” - the children should raise their hands to the top and go on tiptoe. With the phrase “low Christmas trees” - the children should sit down, with the phrase “narrow Christmas trees” - the children narrow the circle. The circle doesn't stop. Thus, Santa Claus should confuse the children as much as possible, but not speak phrases very quickly. The competition is fun and noisy

Competition "Crumple up the newspaper"

Two participants from the team are selected, a newspaper is laid out in front of them, fully unfolded. Santa Claus gives a signal, and the participants as quickly as possible should try to squeeze the newspaper into a tight lump that would fit in one palm.

For example, the syllable "ku" can be called such words - pendant, wisps, vitriol, turmeric; on "ka" - carriage, pocket, cardboard, Carlson, card; on "re" - repair, craft, record, edge, etc.

The last person to say the correct word wins.

“Crush the ball with your foot”

This competition is held between two players, each is given a small balloon (inflated and tied), the balls in front of the players are placed on the floor, and the players themselves are tightly tied with a scarf. A command is given, and the players must step on the ball with their foot (each on his own) and crush it. The whole joke of this contest is that the balls are secretly removed from the players and they are trying to crush non-existent balls.

"Mousetrap"

Children are all assigned mice, all adults stand in a circle and hold hands. On command, the children run and must run inside the circle, while adults lower their hands from time to time, thereby closing the “mousetrap”. Those children who are “caught” also join hands with adults, expanding the circle. Gradually, the circle becomes large, and all the mice fall into the mousetrap.

New Year's competition for high school "Newton's Law"

From each team, the children themselves choose a player, the players are given ten peas or small caramels, such that they would easily pass through the neck of a bottle of champagne. On command, the children each stand over their own bottle and, without bending over, try to throw all the peas (caramels) into the neck of the bottle. Champagne bottles can be replaced with three-liter jars, but in any case, bending over, throwing sweets or peas, is impossible.

"Cock-fights"

This competition will appeal to both boys and girls.

Such contests are more suitable for boys, but girls are also not forbidden to feel like cocky cockerels - a symbol of the coming year according to the eastern calendar.

This fun competition does not require special preparation. To carry it out, you need a small drawn circle in which the cockerels will fight. Children stand on one leg, hold the other with their hand and try to push the opponent out of the circle. Instead of a circle, you can use a small carpet - to mark the boundaries.

“Draw the symbol of the year”

Whoever connects all the dots the fastest wins.

This competition is held by teams. For each team, numbers from one to ten are shown on a sheet of paper (according to the number of players). Consistently connecting one number after another, the children should see the picture of the Rooster.

Which team will do it faster and more accurately - that one won.

This competition can be held together, three, four. In this case, each participant should have their own sheet with the task.

Competition "Kukareku"

Kukareku competition will require participants to have musical talents

The essence of the competition is the performance of well-known New Year's songs in a rooster style. Instead of all the words in the song, there should be only “crow”! You can come up with tasks together, or you can write in advance on pieces of paper and let each participant of the competition pull out their own version.

The task is not an easy one... But the children who play this game will get so much fun and positive! Singing can be accompanied by cock dancing.
