But in reality it was like this...
One New Year's Eve, the wife asked her husband to take out the trash. Reluctantly, he looked up from the TV, which was showing an old funny comedy, got dressed and went out into the yard... Two weeks passed. On the night of the old New Year the doorbell rang. The wife opened it - an unshaven, lost husband stood on the threshold. He handed his wife an empty bucket. She appreciated the joke, took the bucket and with great pleasure put it on her beloved husband’s head... Like this unusual story for the whole family.
Why does this happen? Another funny poem:
If at night your doors
The animals opened it without a key,
They started eating salad with peas,
Brazenly demand potatoes
Slurp loudly and laugh,
Don't be reflected in mirrors,
And tap your hoof,
And you see a little double, Look at the calendar:
It's not winter yet!
Don't delay, come on
Call an ambulance!
New Year's riddles for children
Children believe in miracles! Not only children 3-4 years old and preschoolers, but also completely grown-up senior schoolchildren. They believe in a fairytale grandfather who will certainly come and give a miracle. Just like that, he will simply open the bag and give away the most valuable thing he has free of charge (that is, for nothing)! Let children's naive faith in miracles remain longer! The New Year lives in our mysteries. Each of them is not only fun entertainment with friends, but also a good lesson.

The dear ribbon lay spread out on the Christmas tree.
The lights flash in different colors.
They are connected by a miracle - wiring.
The light bulbs are powered by electricity itself.

And they will pour champagne,
Pull her ponytail -
There will be fireworks!

Everyone may have completely different views on recreation and entertainment, but even the most diverse company can be united by competitions and riddles, especially for the New Year 2020!
The funniest and coolest competitions for adults
Draw an elephant (donkey, horse, Cheburashka)
We will need:
- 2 sheets of paper taped to a wall, board, easels, or anything that will allow you to draw on them.
- 2 markers.
- Blindfolds according to the number of participants.
How to do it:
Divide all participants into 2 equal teams (the more people, the better), each of which lines up in front of its own sheet of paper. Select the creature you want to draw. Each participant gets a certain part of the body and is blindfolded. Next, in turn order, members of each team blindly draw the body parts they are given. The winner can be determined by speed or by the similarity of the drawing to a given animal.
Stomp the enemy's balls!
We will need:
- Balloons of two different colors by the number of participants.
- The same number of long threads of medium thickness.
How to do it:
Participants are divided into 2 teams with the same number of people. Each team is given balls of their own color on a string that must be tied to their leg. The thread can be of any length, but the ball must lie on the floor. The teams are mixed and everyone’s task is to trample as much as possible more balls the enemy's color, without allowing your own to burst. The participant who did not save his ball leaves the general pile and waits for the end of the battle. The team that deals with the opponents faster wins.
Writers
We will need:
- Sheets of paper according to the number of participants.
- Same quantity of pens.
How to do it:
There can be as many participants as you like, everyone sits in a circle, everyone is given a pen and a piece of paper. The presenter asks the question “Who?”, and everyone writes their own hero. After this, you need to fold the sheet so that what is written is not visible, and pass it to the player on the right (each passes his sheet and receives another from his neighbor on the left). The presenter sets new question, for example, “Where did you go?”, and again everyone writes, folds the written part and passes it to the next one. Further questions may follow: “Why did he go there?”, “Who did he meet?” and so on. The competition continues until the presenter runs out of questions.
At the end there is a collective reading of the resulting stories and voting for the best! There are no winners in the competition, but fun and laughter are guaranteed!
Associations
The competition is perfect for any conditions, because there is no need for props at all. All you need are participants and their imagination.
How to do it:
Everyone sits in a circle. Either the hero of the occasion (if there is one) or the one to whom the lot fell (as determined by the counting) begins. The first person says two completely unrelated words, such as “dinner” and “car.” The second must make a sentence such that both words fit into the same situation: “I was late for family dinner because the car wouldn’t start.” The same participant must come up with another word that is not related to what was said: for example, “loaf.” The next one should add this word to the current situation, for example, like this: “So that my wife would not be upset, I decided to buy her a loaf of bread on the way.” And so on until there is enough imagination or until someone comes up with a logical conclusion to the whole story.
Bottle 2.0
We will need:
- Empty bottle.
- Prepared pieces of paper with actions written on them for participants. The bigger, the better.
How to do it:
This game is very similar to the standard spin the bottle: participants sit in a circle, place a bottle in the center and spin it. The key difference is that you first need to throw rolled up pieces of paper with certain actions into the empty bottle, for example: “kiss on the cheek”, “invite to a slow dance”, “lick your ear” and the like. As a result, the game looks like this: the participant spins the bottle, the person she pointed to takes out one piece of paper and reads out the action. It must be completed by the first participant. This is more interesting than a regular game, because you never know what you will need to do instead of a standard kiss.

Breaking news
We will need:
Cards, each of which contains 5 unrelated words.
How to do it:
The entire company is divided into several groups (based on the number of cards). To be fair, each group should have the same number of people. Each team is given one pre-prepared card; in a minute they need to come up with a New Year's incident that can be described in a sentence using these words. For example, on the card there are the words “dog”, “car”, “skates”, “traffic light”, “Lenin”, and the sentence can be composed something like this: “A drunk man on New Year’s Eve on Lenin Street tried to overtake a car on skates, but crashed at a traffic light at a dog that was crossing the road.”
The team with the most original news wins.

You also need to present your creation to your guests in the most original way possible: with a poem, a song, a couple’s dance, or an advertisement. The most resourceful and extraordinary girl receives the prize.

How to do it:
Several teams are formed, each is given the task of depicting a round dance around the Christmas tree, but not an ordinary one, but organized in the police, psychiatric hospital, army, and so on.

You can give out two prizes: one for the most artistic team, and the second for those who guessed the most correctly.
And in addition, some tips on how not to get bored during the New Year of the White Rat.
- Throw a themed party - it's very interesting to celebrate the holiday in retro style or dressed up as Game of Thrones characters.
- Shoot! When guests see the camera, they want to look as interesting as possible on it, which means it will be even more fun! And there will be many vivid captured moments in your memory.
- Put your phones away so no one is on social media. networks, this can really ruin even the best party.
As you can see, it’s not difficult to bring fun to even the most constrained company. The main thing in such cases is perseverance, and then even those guests who are shy in the first minutes and sit on the sidelines will begin to become more active and involved in the process by the middle of the celebration!
