"Snow Job"

For this game, you can use a small ball or make a "snow" ball out of cotton. The participants of the game stand in a circle and pass the "snow" ball around. At the same time they say:
Snowball we all roll,
We all count to five.
One two three four five -
You sing a song!

Whoever has a "snowball" on the last phrase, he fulfills this wish. The last phrase can be changed: "And you read poetry!", "You dance to dance!", "Tell you a fairy tale!" and so on.

"Joke" with a beard ""

The contestants take turns telling jokes. If one of those present knows the continuation, a "beard" is attached to the narrator, which is replaced by a piece of cotton wool. The winner is the one who ends up with fewer pieces of cotton wool.

"Cooking Competition"

For a certain time (for example, 5 minutes), the participants in the game must make New Year's menus. All dishes in it must begin with the letter "H" (New Year). Dishes on the menu for Santa Claus should begin with the letter "M", and for the Snow Maiden - with the letter "C". Whoever has the largest menu wins.

"Now I'll sing!"

In the New Year, it is customary to sing songs and dance around the Christmas tree. But this activity can be varied. For example, on the clap of the presenter, everyone begins to sing the famous song "It's cold in the winter for a little Christmas tree ...". On the second clap, singing aloud stops, but all participants in the game continue to sing to themselves. On the third clap, everyone starts singing aloud again. The one who entered at random is out.

"Fairytale character"

Cards are laid out on the table, on which the names of fairy-tale characters, cartoon characters are written (inscriptions down). The participant in the game pulls out any card and, having read what is written there, must use facial expressions, gestures, characteristic sounds to portray this character so that those present understand who they are talking about. The first person to guess draws the next card.

"Cinderella"

The game is played by two people. Each participant is blindfolded and offered to make out his own slide, in which peas, beans, lentils, dried mountain ash are mixed (ingredients can be changed, depending on what is in the house). Blindfolded participants sort the fruits into groups. The one who completes the task first wins.

"Mystery Prize"

A small gift (notebook, pen, etc.) is wrapped in paper, on which a piece of paper with a riddle is glued. Once again they are wrapped in paper - and the sheet with the riddle is glued again. There can be any number of such layers, it all depends on the number of players. The participant unfolds one layer of paper, reads the riddle to himself and says the answer aloud. Then he unfolds the next layer, reads the riddle to himself again and says the answer. If he doesn't know the answer, he reads the riddle aloud. The first person to guess this riddle unfolds the next layer of paper. The winner is the one who, having solved the last riddle, gets to the gift.

"Mobile phone"

The participants in the game call the numbers in order. Those who get the number 5 or multiples of it say "jin-jin". Those who get the number 7 and multiples of it say "ding-dilin". The one who makes a mistake is out of the game.

"Choose a prize!"

Various gifts wrapped in small bags are attached to a long rope. The participant of the game is blindfolded and given scissors. He must cut some gift, which he gets.

"Shoe for Cinderella"

Participants in the game put their shoes in a pile and blindfold themselves. The host shuffles shoes into a pile and gives the command: "Find your shoe!". Blindfolded contestants need to find their own pair of shoes and put them on. Whoever completes the task faster, wins.

"Hurry"

For this contest you will need sweet jelly or, for example, halva. The winner is the one who quickly eats the portion offered to him with a toothpick.

"Harvesters"

The participants of the game are divided into 2 teams. The task of each team is to move as many oranges or tangerines as possible to a certain place without the help of hands in a certain time (for example, 10 minutes).

"Guess"

A piece of paper with the name of some animal, object, etc. (for example, an elephant, a pen, a pear, an airplane) is attached to each participant in the game, but in such a way that the players do not know what they have written in their pieces of paper. But they can read what is written on the back of others. Participants in the game must ask each other leading questions to find out what is written on their backs. The answers can only be "yes" or "no". The first person to guess their "name" is the winner. The game is played until the last guesser. All receive consolation prizes.

"Sculptors"

This competition is best held outdoors. The host calls the letter, and the contestants must fashion any thing out of the snow that begins with this letter. Whoever blinds faster and more reliably - he won. At home, you can hold this competition using plasticine.

Focuses

Learn these simple tricks, and in new year's eve in the eyes of your guests, you will become an unsurpassed magician.

Thread on the jacket

You notice a white thread on your jacket and try to brush it off, but the thread remains on your jacket. Then you take it by the tip and pull. To your surprise (and the surprise of other people), it continues on. You pull further and further until a few meters of thread ends.

Focus secret: Before showing the trick, you put a small pencil in the inside pocket of your jacket, on which several meters of thread are wound from the spool. Using a needle, thread the tip of the thread through the fabric of the jacket to the outside. The main thing is that after demonstrating the trick, there are no traces left in your pocket if especially vigilant spectators decide to inspect your pockets. Therefore, the thread is wound on a pencil.

Three glasses and paper

Place two glass glasses on the table at some distance from each other. Place a piece of paper on top.

Pick up the third glass and invite the audience to place it between two glasses on a sheet of paper so that the paper does not bend. Nobody succeeds, of course. Then you demonstrate your "magical" abilities.

Focus secret: Fold a sheet of paper like an accordion along the long side, then it can easily support the weight of even a glass cup.

magic rope

You sit down in front of the audience at the table, show them the rope, put it on the table and say: "I will tie a knot on this rope without using my hands."

After that, cross your arms over your chest. Taking one end of the rope with your left hand and the other with your right, you spread your arms to the sides. There really is a knot on the rope!

Focus secret: There is no particular secret here. You just need to take a rope at least 1 meter long. And, of course, carefully rehearse the number in order to be able to grab both ends of the rope from the table.

Magic "Piglet"

You ask the audience for two coins in denominations of 1 and 5 rubles. Put a coin of 1 ruble on a small piece of paper, draw a mark around it with a pencil and then carefully cut out a hole equal in diameter to this coin of 1 ruble. After that, invite the audience to put a 5-ruble coin into this hole. Nobody knows how to do it. Then you can easily solve the proposed problem.

Focus secret: Of course, a 5-ruble coin will not fit into such a small hole. But if you fold a piece of paper in half so that the fold line passes through the center of the hole, then the hole will turn into a gap. Stretch the paper a little - the diameter of the hole is enough for a coin to easily slip through it.

Without getting your hands wet

Take a large flat plate, put a coin on it and pour a small amount of water so that it covers the coin. Then invite the audience to take the coin without getting their hands wet.

Focus secret: You set fire to a piece of paper and put it in a glass. Then quickly turn the glass over and place it on a plate near the coin. When the paper in the glass burns out and goes out, the water from the plate will collect under it, and the coin will be in a dry place.

Three layouts

Take any 21 cards and arrange them face up three cards in seven rows. You should have three vertical columns of seven cards each. Invite one of the spectators to remember any one card and say which column it is in. Carefully, one by one, place the cards of each column into piles, and then all the piles into one pile. In this case, a stack of cards from the column with the selected card must be placed in the middle between the other two. Then turn the stack face down, arrange the cards again into three columns of seven cards each, and again ask the spectator to indicate which column the chosen card is in. Fold the cards in columns and put the indicated column of cards back in the middle. And finally, for the third time, lay out the cards and again put the column with the selected card between the other two. Count out ten cards. The eleventh card comes out.

Focus secret: the main thing is to always put a column with a hidden card between the other two.

cunning trick

Take a deck of cards. Invite one of the spectators to choose and remember some card and put it on top of the deck without showing you. Then remove the deck and put its bottom part on top. Lay out the cards face up and accurately indicate the hidden card.

Focus secret: To find the hidden card, we apply a little trick. Before demonstrating the trick, remember the lowest card of the deck. Now, when laying out the deck, the hidden card will lie in front of the card that we spied on.

Guessed card

You invite four spectators to sit at the table with you. Deal five cards to everyone. After that, the spectators must memorize one card from those that are in their hands. You collect cards and lay them out on the table in five stacks. Spectators choose one of the piles. You take the cards and fan them out to the audience. Then you ask which of them sees their card. After receiving the answer, you accurately indicate the card that they remembered.

Focus secret: You start collecting cards from the spectator who sits to your left and further - clockwise. Moreover, you collect all five cards at once, and not one at a time. You will collect your cards last, and they will be at the top of the deck. When you then lay out the cards in five stacks, in any of them the cards are in the order in which the audience sits at the table. If, for example, a third spectator recognizes "his" card, it will be the third one, counting the piles from above, etc.

Kings and Ladies

Kings and queens are selected from the deck. You lay them out in front of the audience in two rows - separately for kings and separately for ladies. Stack the cards by placing a stack of kings on top of a stack of queens. The resulting deck of eight cards can be removed by the audience any number of times. Then you hide the cards behind your back, take out two cards and show them to the audience. They see that it is a king and a queen of the same suit.

Focus secret: Initially, you stack the cards so that the sequence of suits in both decks is the same. Behind your back, you divide the deck into two of four cards each and take the top card from each mini-deck. It will always be a king and a queen of the same suit.

Conceived number

Invite one of the spectators to think of a number. After that, the viewer must multiply it by 2, then add 8, divide by 2 and subtract the number that he had in mind. After a meaningful pause, you announce that the resulting number is 4.

Focus secret: There is no secret, pure mathematics!

New Year has always been associated with the expectation of a miracle. Thanks to the parents for this: they did not destroy the myth of Santa Claus for as long as possible; and every year on the morning of the first of January we little sister we ran to a live Christmas tree (which always stood in the house) and looked under it for our felt boots, put there in advance, in which we found sweet surprises and something very desirable ... The myth was destroyed when an inquisitive sister found prepared ones in her mother's closet gifts for us. This did not upset us at all - on the contrary, since then we have started a playful tradition to give each other gifts "from Santa Claus" on New Year's Eve.

In my family, the tradition of putting gifts under the Christmas tree and unpacking them on January 1 has not taken root. Sonulya was so impatient that a couple of times the gifts "from Santa Claus" were simply given to him. But on the 4th birthday (which my son had in the fall), I noted that my son’s attitude towards gifts and givers had become too consumerist and critical - after all, he was literally overwhelmed with gifts, and a week later he could not remember who and what gave. Therefore, for the New Year's gift giving, I decided to prepare something unusual.

It was not possible to arrange a grand celebration with numerous guests, a full-fledged script and guest actors for various reasons. First, does not allow living space. Secondly, there is a 9-month-old baby in the house, and noisy holidays are still taboo. Thirdly, all this pleasure is not cheap. So I opted for a treasure hunt. And not just a treasure, but new year gift. I myself called this idea "New Year's Quest".

I found 15 riddles on the Internet about furniture, toys and more. I also found a picture - an image of Santa Claus with a bag of gifts, printed it on an A4 sheet, printed riddles on top, cut the sheet into 15 uneven parts (diamonds, trapezoids, triangles). I also searched on the Internet beautiful postcard"from Santa Claus" and printed it (as a photograph - in color, on A6 glossy paper). I withdrew from the search itself - just so that suspicion would not fall on me. When it was time to look for a gift, our dad left the apartment - "on business." Upon his return, he loudly announced that he had found a letter for Andryusha in the mailbox. The son had never before received letters in his name - what a surprise he was! Having opened the envelope, Andryushka found inside a postcard from Santa Claus in his name, on the reverse side of which was written:

"Prepared for you
I love a gift.
If you complete the puzzle
Then you will find your gift!

Even inside the envelope lay a piece of the puzzle - the first riddle-hint. After discussing among themselves what needs to be done, the son and her husband (who did not know the answers to the riddles in advance and was instructed not to prompt) began to guess the first riddle. Having guessed it, they ran (but how could it be otherwise, it's so interesting, I want to get to the treasure gift as soon as possible!) went to the clue object. There they found the next clue, and so on until they had collected all the clues. When the son had 15 pieces of the puzzle in his hands, he managed to put together a picture of them, which turned out to be the image of Santa Claus - of course! - with a bag of gifts. The 15th guess led him there (in our case, to the balcony), where a hidden gift was waiting for him. Of course, it was a delight!

All the searches took about half an hour, the son kept the card, was satisfied with the gifts, and over the next two weeks, everyone who was willing to listen, told that Santa Claus had not just given HIM a gift, but hid it and made him search.

It remains only to say that, in my opinion, this option is appropriate not only for the New Year, but also for birthdays, and name days, and Children's Day, and for any holiday that is celebrated in your family - only small changes are needed . And here are the riddles that I made with clues, a postcard from Santa Claus and a picture of Santa Claus with a bag of gifts.

"Wonder box - there is a window in it,
There's a movie in that window."
(TV)

"There is frost in the white box.
And now the frost is gray

"A pillow sleeps on her during the day,
And at night - Andryushka.

"Who warms with love,
Everything in the world succeeds
Even play a bit?
Who will always comfort you
And wash and comb,
Kiss on the cheek - smack?
This is how she always is
My dear!"
(Mother)

Note: I had the next clue, but in order to get it, Andryushka had to sing a New Year's song to me.

"How easy it sits on it,
And nice, sweet sleep!
The back is soft, the pillows...
What else do you need to be happy?"
(Sofa)

"In the round window
Wet clothes."

All fluffy, in needles,
And that guest is called ... "
(Christmas tree)

"What kind of miracle giant?
Stretches his hand to the clouds
Doing work:
Helping build a house.
(Construction crane)

Note: my son has a faucet on a remote control, so there was no doubt where to look next.

"Will bring
glass eye,
Clicked once -
And remembers us."
(Camera)

"Black and white - both brothers
It is stored in her stomach.
(bread box)

"In order not to freeze, five guys
They sit in closets."
(Gloves)

"I lay under the trees
Pillow with needles.
lay, lay,
Let me run."
(Hedgehog)

Note: no, of course, we don’t have a hedgehog at home, but there is a Hedgehog toy.

"I'm from home on the threshold
Only one step took a step,
The door closed behind
There is no path ahead of me.
I'm at home - and not at home,
Between heaven and earth.
Guess, friends
Where am I?"
(Balcony)
