Snowballs
White snowballs roll out of paper. For convenience, children are divided into two equal teams. This game can be played in several ways.

Those who disobey leave the circle. The most serious person wins the competition.
Box with a secret
You will need several empty boxes different sizes. Place the prize in the smallest one. Then place it in another box, and so on several times.

Each person draws a separate part: head, nose, buttons, hands, etc. Then the children are untied and see what the young artists have achieved. Instead of a snowman, you can draw a Christmas tree or the Snow Maiden.
Wrap the gift

Guess the item
The guys put warm gloves on their hands and put their hands in Santa Claus's bag. With their eyes closed, they need to guess by touch which toy they got in the bag. If they guess right, they take the prize for themselves; if not, they put it back into the bag, and the game continues.
Game "Alphabet greetings"
Children should wish their friends a Happy New Year, but for a reason. The presenter names any letter of the alphabet he likes. And the child must come up with a text for this letter. For example, the letter Z: “Health to you and your loved ones in the new year, happiness, success and a sea of smiles.” To be tricky, the presenter pronounces the letters not in alphabetical order, but out of order. It will be much more fun and spontaneous. Interesting situations occur when the presenter names letters such as Y, ь, Ъ, И.
Training your memory
Children carefully study what hangs on the tree, then turn away. Now they need to remember every detail and voice what they saw. The one who names the most toys wins.
Chef competition

Prizes and gifts
What are games and competitions without prizes? Let's figure out what is the best gift to give a child for winning a competition.
There is a universal and familiar reward option - sweets. However, you shouldn’t dwell on it, especially since on New Year’s holidays children already get a lot of sweets, which is not very healthy. Here are a few more gift options that Santa Claus can give to the winners of competitions and games:
- small toys. Depending on the age of the children, these can be small puzzles, cars, dolls, books, soft toys (including in the form of a symbol of the next year), mosaics, construction sets in small boxes;
- souvenirs - calendars, pens, cups. Such souvenirs can be ordered in an individual design with a general photo of the group or class;
- New Year's attributes - Christmas tree toys, snowflakes, figurines of Santa Claus, snowman;
- lottery tickets. Just not the ones sold in special stores, but those made specifically for the occasion. These could be just pieces of paper with numbers, according to which prizes will be drawn at the end of the holiday;
- wish. Comic wishes that can be fulfilled right at the holiday. For example: the child who won the competition makes a wish for the second child to sing a New Year's song or recite a poem. Or a wish for Grandfather Frost to light the lights on the tree or dance;
- target. For example, to rescue the Snow Maiden from the hands of the Snow Queen, or to call the Snowman, or to somehow help out some holiday hero.
We hope this article will help you prepare happy holiday! Happy New Year!
Funny, amusing competitions will allow you to have a good rest and have fun at new year party. For the presenters, who are tasked with organizing the entertainment part, we offer an original selection of games, competitions and quizzes for the scenario of a festive corporate party!
To make the New Year's holiday more successful, we have made for you a selection of the most interesting competitions and fun.
Table
To begin with, we propose to include in the program New Year's corporate party At work cool competitions at the table.
What will Santa Claus give?
Attributes: small pieces of paper, pens (or pencils).
Guests before sitting down festive table, each receive a small piece of paper and write down what gift they would like to wish for themselves in the new year. This could be, for example, a new apartment, a car, a dog, a trip, money, a lover...
The leaves are rolled up into a tube and placed in a beautiful box, a hat... At some point in the evening, the presenter asks everyone to pull out an arbitrary piece of paper and find out what good Santa Claus has prepared for him for next year. Everyone has different desires, so it will be fun! And your wish will come true if you save the piece of paper until the next holiday, and then tell about what came true.
You can attach the leaves with threads to a rope/fishing line and then, as you did in childhood, blindfolded and using scissors, cut off your wish. Another variation is to link notes to balloons and distribute to those present.
I want, I want, I want!... Branded want
Another game about wishes. But this time without attributes.
5-7 volunteers are called. They take turns naming their wish for next year. You need to speak quickly, without holding up the line! Stopping for more than 5 seconds means the player is eliminated. We play until we win - until the last player! (Small prize possible).
Let's raise a glass! New Year's toasts
When guests get bored in the midst of a feast, invite them not just to fill their glasses, but to make a toast or congratulations to everyone present.
There are two conditions - each speech must be one sentence long and begin with the letters of the alphabet in order!
For example:
- A - I'm absolutely sure that New Year will be the best!
- B - Be healthy and happy!
- Q – In general, I’m glad to be with you today!
- G - Pride bursts at the sight of those gathered at this table!..
The most fun moment is when the letters e, e, yu, y, s come into play.
Game option: each next toast begins with the last letter of the previous congratulation. For example: “I’m very glad if you support me with applause! “And all the best to you...” To complicate things, you can prohibit starting a toast with prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
“I’ll sing about Frost!” Compose a ditty
During the evening, those who wish must write and then present to the audience a ditty, which contains New Year’s words or themes pre-set by the presenter. It could be “New Year, Father Frost, Snow Maiden.”
You can compose awkward songs - with the last line unrhymed, but maintaining the given rhythm of the ditty. Example:
Hello, red Santa Claus
you brought us gifts!
The most important thing is ten days
Let's just relax.
Snow news
Attributes: Cards with word-nouns. There are 5 completely unrelated nouns written on the cards. It is advisable to include at least 1 winter word there.
The participant draws out a card, reads out loud the given words and within 30 seconds (although if those present at the party are already, well, very tired, then 1 minute is possible) comes up with a news story from one sentence. And all the words from the card should fit in it.
Nouns can be turned into other parts of speech (adjectives, verbs, adverbs...) and changed as you like, and the news must certainly be interesting and funny.
You can start the news with the words “Sensation!”
For example:
- 1 card – “road, chair, roof, bicycle, snowman.” Sentence - “Outside the city, a huge snowman with a broken roof was discovered on a road bike with a chair instead of a seat!”
- Card 2 – “fence, sound, ice floe, shop, Christmas tree.” Sentence - “Near the store, under the fence, someone left a Christmas tree with sounding pieces of ice.”
Try this: it will be even more interesting if you prepare a lot of cards, where one different word will be written, and the players themselves will draw out the 5 words they get.
Fun guaranteed!
I like/don't like my neighbor
The game does not require any improvised means! But requires a sufficient degree of emancipation or relaxed relationships in the team.
The presenter invites everyone present to name which part of the body (can be clothing) they like about the person sitting on the left, and which they don’t like. For example: “My neighbor on the right, I like his left ear and don’t like his bulging pocket.”
After everyone has named and remembered what was said, the presenter asks to kiss (or stroke) what they like and bite (or spank) what they don’t like.
Not everyone can play, but only 6-8 brave ones are called into the circle.
Our friend is orange!
This game can be played on New Year's holiday in the office only if all colleagues know each other well. Or at least everyone has a friend or girlfriend in the team.
The presenter thinks of a person from those present at the table. And the participants, with the help of leading questions, try to guess who it is.
But questions are not simple - they are associations! Whoever guesses first wins.
The questions are something like this:
- — What fruit/vegetable does it look like? - For an orange.
- — What food is it associated with? - With pies.
- - With what animal? - With a mole.
- — With what music? - With choral singing.
- - With what flower?
- - With what plant?
- - By car?
- - Color?
- — Part of the world?
Yin-yang cones
Attributes: 2 cones – one painted White color, the other in black. If you have nothing to dye with, you can wrap them with colored woolen threads of the desired color.
The course of the fun: a host is selected from among the guests, who will have these two cones. They are signals of his answers, because he is not allowed to speak at all. He thinks of a word, and the others, with the help of leading questions, try to guess what he has in mind.
The whole secret is that he can only silently show: YES is white bump, NO – black. If neither this nor that, he can lift both at once.
The first one to guess correctly wins.
Instead of cones, you can take multi-colored ones Christmas balls. But you need to be careful with glass ones, especially if the presenter has already drunk a couple of glasses of champagne.
Associations on paper. Broken telephone associations
Attributes of the players: paper and pen.
The first person writes any noun word on his piece of paper and speaks it quietly into his neighbor’s ear. He comes up with his own association for this word, writes it down and whispers it to the next person.
This is how associations are transmitted along the chain... The last one speaks out loud the word given to him. It is compared with the original source and it is fun to find out at which link in the chain of associations the failure occurred: everyone reads out their nouns.
funny neighbor
Any number of guests can play.
We stand in a circle, and the driver begins: he performs an action with his neighbor that will make him laugh. He can take him by the ear, pat him on the shoulders, tap him on the nose, flick his arm, touch his knee... That's it, those standing in a circle must repeat the same movement with your neighbor/neighbor.
The one who laughs is eliminated.
Then the driver makes the next movement, everyone repeats. If no one laughed, new movement. And so on until the last “Nesmeyana”.
New Year's rhyme machine
The driver reads out little-known New Year/winter quatrains. But he only says the first 2 lines out loud.
The rest are invited to take part in a competition for the best rhymer.
Guests come up with and rhyme the last two lines. Then the funniest and most original poet is selected, and then the original poem is read out amid general laughter and joy.
Drawing competition “I see, I see New Year!”
Those who wish are given A-4 sheets of free-form lines and felt-tip pens. Everyone has the same image (copier can help you).
The task is to complete a picture on a New Year's theme.
Of course, everyone knows who in the team is best versed in painting. So he or she will evaluate the results. Whoever is more interesting is the winner! There can be many winners - it’s a holiday!
Movable
Nimble bump
Attributes: pine or fir cones.
Progress of the game: guests can either sit at the table or stand in a circle (if they have been sitting too long by this time). The task is to pass the pine cone to each other. The condition is that you can transmit it only by holding it on the back of your two palms. Try it, it's quite difficult... But also fun!
You can also divide into equal teams, and whichever one hands over its cone faster wins.
My Frost is the most beautiful!
You will need various items such as: garlands, funny hats, scarves, beads, ribbons. socks, mittens, women's bags... Two or three ladies who want to be in the role of the Snow Maiden for a few minutes each choose a man to turn him into Father Frost.
From items prepared in advance on the table, the Snow Maidens create a cheerful image of their hero. In principle, you can end here by choosing the most successful and funniest model...
The Snow Maiden can take snowflakes for herself, which will help with the “design” of Santa Claus and with advertising.
Snow paths
This is a very successful game to determine pairs for subsequent New Year competitions.
Attributes: colored ribbons in winter shades (blue, light blue, silver...). Length 4-5 meters. It is necessary to cut the ribbons in half in advance and sew them together, mixing up the halves.
3-4 pairs of players are called. The presenter holds a basket/box, to which lie multi-colored ribbons, the ends of which hang down.
Presenter: “On New Year’s Day, the paths were covered with snow... The blizzard mixed up the paths in Santa Claus’s house. We need to untangle them! In pairs, each grab the end of the tape that you like and pull the track towards you. The couple that draws their ribbon before the others will receive a prize!”
Players choose a pair and the color of the ribbon, expecting that there will be a single ribbon at the ends of the same color. But the fun is that the ribbons are sewn in different ways, and completely unexpected pairs are formed.
Happy people train
Everyone loves round dances: both small and large (and those who are embarrassed to admit it)!
Give your guests a round dance-train. It is clear that vacationers at a party may find it difficult to motivate themselves to participate in an active competition, so come up with something for them branded slogans.
— Now those who are attached to the train are
a) desires great wealth for himself,
b) wants to be loved,
c) who wants a lot of health,
d) who dreams of traveling to the sea, etc.
The host drives the train around the hall, it fills and fills with guests. And when it is clear that no one else can be pulled out from behind the tables, train dances are arranged (the host can show them) to daring music.
New Year's fixed deposit
Attributes: candy wrapper money.
Two pairs are selected, each with a man and a woman. It is advisable for the men to be dressed approximately the same (if one has a jacket, then the other should also wear a jacket).
— Dear women, the New Year is approaching, and you need to have time to make a fixed-term deposit in the bank. Here's some money for you (each of the women is given a pack of candy wrappers). These are initial payments. You will put them in the bank on a super fixed deposit. Your men are your banks. Only one condition - each “bill” is in a separate cell! Pockets, sleeves, collars, lapels and other secluded places can become cells. Contributions can be made while the music is playing. Just remember where you put your money. Let's start!
The task is given 1-2 minutes.
- Attention! Intermediate check: whoever managed to make a full investment (not a single candy wrapper left in their hands) receives an additional point. All the money is in business!
- And now, dear depositors, you must quickly withdraw cash - after all, we know that it was a super quick deposit. Each of you will be filming blindfolded, but you will always remember what you put and where. Music! Let's start!
The trick is that the men are swapped, and the women, blindfolded, “search” someone else’s partner without knowing it. Everyone has fun!
We are actors no matter what!
Those who wish to participate are given cards with tasks. None of them knows in advance what they will have to face.
The presenter announces that the participants need to take a walk in front of everyone, depicting what is written on the cards. Here is a sample list:
- tightrope walker over the abyss,
- duck in the yard,
- teenager with a stalled bike,
- shy girl,
- shy Japanese woman in a kimono in the rain,
- baby starting to walk,
- heron in the swamp,
- Joseph Kobzon at a performance
- policeman at the market,
- hare along the path,
- model on the catwalk,
- arab sheikh,
- cat on the roof, etc.
The tasks can be supplemented and expanded with any ideas.
Funny joke “Bear in a den or slow-witted spectators”
Attention: only played once!
The presenter invites someone who wants to perform a pantomime, takes him to a separate room and gives him a “secret” task - portray without words bear (hare or kangaroo).
Meanwhile, the presenter's assistant negotiates with the others NOT to understand his body movements.
The volunteer returns and begins to show the selected animal with movements and gestures. The guests pretend that they do not understand and call anything but the person they are shown.
- Does he waddle around? Yes, this is the platypus (lame fox, tired boar)!
- Licking his paw? The cat is probably washing itself.
Etc.
It happens that the person portraying is surprised by the guests’ lack of understanding and begins to get angry: “Are you so stupid? It's so simple! And if he shows hellish patience, shows it again and again - he has nerves of iron! But this also amuses the employees gathered at the party. There is no need to delay. When the player begins to run out of imagination and patience, you can guess the correct animal.
3. Music competitions
Can you imagine the New Year without music, songs and dances? That's right, no! For additional entertainment and fun, many music competition games for a New Year's corporate party.
Scene “Clip-song”
This is the most creative musical fun for a New Year's corporate evening.
Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Father Frost, the Christmas tree, the Snow Maiden... and simple attributes that will help the players dress up (beads, hats, felt boots, scarves...)
The task is to make a corporate video for the song “The Little Christmas Tree Is Cold in Winter.” We need an operator who will shoot a video clip on camera.
Participants, to the accompaniment of songs, begin to depict all the actions that are sung about: “the little gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree” - the hero is jumping, “they hung the beads” - the team hangs the beads on an improvised living “Christmas tree”.
You can divide into two teams (employees and female employees) and each will shoot their own video. It is advisable to display the results on a large screen and compare them. The winners will be awarded with branded souvenirs or applause.
Competition "Lazy Dancing"
The players sit in a circle on chairs and begin to dance to the cheerful New Year's music and song. But these are strange dances - no one gets up from their seats!
They dance at the command of the leader in different parts body:
- First we dance with our elbows!
- Then shoulders
- legs,
- fingers,
- lips,
- eyes, etc.
The rest choose the coolest dance.
Upside down song
This is a comic game that you can play at any time during the holiday. The presenter recites lines from a New Year/winter song, but with the words in reverse. Everyone's task is who is faster guess the original and sing it. The person who guesses correctly is given a chip (candy wrapper, candy, cone...) so that later it will be easier to count the winner in the entire competition.
The lines might look something like this:
— The birch tree died in the steppe. - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree.
- The old month is slow, nothing will happen for a long time. - The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon.
— White, white steam rose on the ground. — Blue-blue frost lay on the wires.
- One gray donkey, one gray donkey. - Three white horses, three white horses.
— A brave white wolf was sitting on a baobab tree. - The cowardly gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree.
- Keep quiet, Santa Claus, where are you going? - Tell me, Snow Maiden, where have you been?
- Read me a book about 1 hour. - I’ll sing you a song about five minutes.
— The huge palm tree is hot in the summer. – The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.
— The weights were removed and left the chain. - They hung the beads and began to dance in a circle.
“I was running away from you, Snow Maiden, and wiped away a few sweet smiles.” - I was running after you, Santa Claus. I shed a lot of bitter tears.
- Oh, it’s hot, it’s hot, warm you up! Warm you and your camel. - Oh, frost-frost, don’t freeze me! Don't freeze me, my horse.
- Your worst acquisition is me. - My best gift is you.
Song competition “Musical hat of Santa Claus”
Attributes: put words from New Year's songs in the hat.
The players pass it around in a circle to the accompaniment of music. When the music stops, the person who received the hat at that moment takes out a card with the word and must remember/sing the piece of the song where it appears.
You can play in teams. Then the hat is passed from representative to representative of each team. You can limit the time it takes to complete a task and reward the team for every guess they make.
If you’re not sure that your guests are so quick-thinking, write not just one word, but a short phrase. Then it will be easier to remember the song!
Dance by candlelight
A dynamic, but at the same time very calm and gentle dance competition.
Play slow music and encourage couples to light sparklers and dance. The couple whose fire burns longer wins and will receive a prize.
If you want to add spice to your dance, choose tango!
An old song in a new way
Print the lyrics of famous (not even New Year's) songs and prepare musical accompaniment without words (karaoke music).
This could be Karabas Barabas, the Snow Maiden, an evil policeman, a kind Baba Yaga, and even your boss.
Quietly loud
A well-known song is chosen, which all guests begin to sing in chorus.
On the command “Quiet!” sing a song to themselves. At the command “Loud!” out loud again.
And since everyone sang at their own pace, the loud choir begins with different words. And this is repeated several times, amusing everyone.
4. Team
Team games for the New Year's corporate party will allow once again strengthen team spirit and solidarity by performing the role of unscheduled team building.
Competition - relay race "Felt boots of Santa Claus"
Attributes: 2 pairs of extra-large felt boots (or one).
This game is played around the tree or around chairs in teams.
Those playing, at the driver’s signal or the sound of music, put on large felt boots and race around the tree (chairs). If you only have one pair of these winter shoes, then let the teams compete against the clock.
With felt boots you can also come up with many different relay races: divide into teams and run, passing them on to each other as a team; carry with outstretched arms so as not to drop; put on felt boots and run backwards (it’s difficult to do this in big ones), etc. Imagine!
Don't drop the lump
Attributes: “snow” balls made from crumpled paper; large spoons (wooden possible).
Progress of the relay competition: two teams of equal size are assembled. At the command of the driver (or the sound of music), the first participants must quickly run around the room back and forth, carrying a lump in a spoon and trying not to drop it. Don’t choose too long routes - just make a circle around the tree.
The difficulty is that the paper is light and tends to fall off to the floor all the time.
They play until the last person running in the team. Whoever is first wins!
The office wishes you a Happy New Year
Attributes: 2-3 sheets of whatman paper (depending on how many teams are playing), newspapers, magazines, glue and scissors.
In 10-15 minutes, teams must cut out words from the paper publications offered to them, glue them onto a sheet of paper and compose original congratulations those present for the New Year.
It should be a small, funny text. You can supplement the poster with clippings of pictures from the suggested magazines.
The most creative congratulation wins.
Beads for Christmas tree
Offer teams paper clips at large quantities(it is advisable to choose multi-colored plastic ones). Task: in the allotted time (5 minutes, no more), long chains are assembled to the accompaniment of pleasant music.
Whoever ends up with beads longer than their opponents, that team wins.
Gather a team or “Friendly Mosaic”
The competition requires little preparation. You need to photograph the teams, print the photo on a printer and cut it into small pieces. The teams' task is to put together a photo of their team in the minimum amount of time.
Those who complete their puzzle faster win.
Preferably so that the photos are large.
The snowman turns...
Two teams. Each has 4 participants and 8 balls (blue and white are possible). Each one has the large letters S_N_E_G_O_V_I_K written on it. The snowman “melts” and turns... into other words.
The driver asks simple riddles, and the players build guessed words from balls with letters.
- Grows on the face. - Nose.
- Banned from work. - Dream.
- Candles are made from it. - Wax.
- Prepared for the winter. - Hay.
- Orange is preferred to tangerine. - Juice.
- Difficult to get up in the morning. - Eyelids.
- Where did the office romance happen? - Movie.
- Snow woman's colleague. - Snowman.
The fastest players get points, and those with the most points win.
5. Bonus – competitions for an all-female team!
These games are suitable for a New Year's corporate party for doctors, teachers, or for a kindergarten.
Rope for the brave
This is a competition exclusively for adults. The guests are divided into two equal teams.
At the driver’s signal and to the accompaniment of lively music, the players take off parts of their clothes in order to knit a long, very long rope from them.
When “Stop!” sounds, the visibly undressed participants begin to measure the length of their clothing chains.
The longest one wins!
Let's dress up for the New Year! or “Dark Outfit”
Two participants stand near their chest/box/basket, which contain different items of clothing. They are first blindfolded, and then they must put on everything from the chest as quickly as possible.
Speed and accuracy are valued. Although everyone has more fun because things get mixed up between the players.
Reverse Snow Queen
Inventory: ice cubes from the freezer.
Several contenders are selected for the crown of the Snow Queen. They pick up an ice cube and, on command, must melt it as quickly as possible, turning it into water.
You can give one at a time, or several ice cubes, putting them in bowls.
The first one to complete the task wins. She is awarded the title of "The Hottest Snow Queen".
Will Cinderella go to the New Year's ball?
In front of the two participants, mixed beans, peppers, rose hips, and peas are placed in a heap on plates (you can use any ingredients). The number of grains is small so that the game does not flow for too long (can be checked experimentally before the holiday).
After the players are blindfolded, they begin to sort the fruits into piles by touch. Whoever manages it first will go to the ball!
Have you already started preparing competitions for the New Year 2019? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and competitions for the New Year, and found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Pig cheerfully and joyfully.
How to prepare for competitions and games: fun and interesting competitions for the New Year will help save even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company of a TV, not to mention a party for fun company. However, it is best to prepare a little.
- Make a plan for games and competitions. A group of adults will need to eat, raise their glasses to the New Year, and dance, so game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.
- Prepare your props. Having decided what you will play at home for the New Year, make a list of what you will need for this or that competition. It's best to organize props and prizes into themed competitions (I use small gift bags for this).
- Stock up on prizes. People love to receive small funny prizes - candies, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It’s better to take extra prizes.
- It is better to make auxiliary materials on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on regular cards in advance, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
- Select music, identify your helpers, prepare a place for games.
Collection of competitions and games
"Wishes"
The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of competitions are those where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be asked to burst balloons with wishes inside.
You need to prepare in advance a large bunch of balloons (their number should be greater than the number of guests, just in case), inside which notes with wishes are inserted. For example, you can give a guest scissors and invite him to cut off the ball he likes, and then read it aloud to all the guests - such a simple but cute entertainment helps the company have fun and unite.
"Tsiferki"
New Year's games and competitions based on the question-and-answer model always receive a lot of applause. It’s no wonder - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.So, the host hands out small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and invites them to write down their favorite number (or any other number that comes to mind). If you wish, you can record some sequence and play several circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the presenter says that now everyone present will be able to learn more about each other - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them, holding up a piece of paper with the numbers written down, and loudly announcing the answer.
It is best to choose simple questions - how old is this or that guest, how many times a day does he eat, how much does he weigh, how many times has he stayed for a second year, and so on.
"Not a word of truth"
My favorite pastimes are funny competitions for the New Year. Of course, for a group of pensioners you will need to choose something more decent, but in your circle you can always have fun - for example, by playing the game “Not a Word of the Truth”.
The presenter will need to prepare in advance many New Year's questions, such as these:
- What tree is traditionally decorated for the holiday?
- What film in our country symbolizes the New Year?
- What is customary to launch into the sky on New Year's Eve?
- who is sculpted from snow in winter?
- who on TV addresses Russians with a New Year's speech?
- The outgoing year is the year of whom according to the Chinese calendar?
The one who makes a mistake and answers truthfully, based on the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various wishes - you can use wishes to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to put several slices of tangerine in both cheeks and say something like “I’m a hamster and I eat grain, don’t touch it - it’s mine, and whoever takes it will be finished!”. Bursts of laughter are guaranteed - both during the game and during the “punishment” of the losing participant.
"Accurate shooter"
As entertainment for the New Year 2019, you can play snipers. It’s most fun to play this game when the participants are already a little tipsy - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it’s a little more difficult to hit the target.
The essence of the game is as follows - the guests are divided into two teams, and in turn each player throws “snowballs” into a bucket. The bucket is placed at a distance of five to seven meters from the players; as “snowballs” you can use lumps of cotton wool, crumpled paper, or just take a couple of sets of simple New Year's balls made of plastic, which are sold in any supermarket.
I decided to improve this game for a New Year's party 2019 for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a “goal” - hitting them with a soft ball of cotton wool is even more difficult than hitting a bucket.
"New Year decoration"
Of course, New Year's competitions for adults can be less sporting.
All those present should be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The teams are given the task of building New Year's ball. For production, you can only use toiletries, accessories and jewelry that the team members are wearing. The team that makes the brightest and most beautiful ball wins.
By the way, a little life hack- in every company there are people who do not actively participate in competitions and try to just sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint them to the jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to make a short speech into an improvised microphone. This way they will be simultaneously involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled out from the table.
And of course, the sight of my own mother, who soulfully speaks into a glass of champagne instead of a microphone about how grateful she is to Mikhalkov and the Film Academy for the opportunity to see the ice battle in her own living room is priceless. :))
"Come, forest deer"
By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a corporate event for the New Year or for a party that will not take place in a city apartment, then be sure to play Santa with his reindeer. There is no need to divide the guests into teams; it is enough to simply invite them to split into pairs.
Each pair has a “reindeer” and a “Santa” (you can give one improvised antlers, and the other Santa hats - both are sold for mere pennies in a fixed price store before the new year).
The “deer” needs to be blindfolded and made into a harness - no need to split hairs, a simple clothesline or cord that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his “reindeer.” A track is built from the pins, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. Those participants who reach the finish line earlier than others and do not knock down the pins win. Instead of skittles, you can use empty bottles, cardboard drink cups or paper cones(we made it in the form of Christmas trees, it was very cute).
"Collective Letter"
When it comes to New Year's games at the table, I always remember how my parents and friends wrote a collective New Year's greetings for everyone present. You can use a ready-made text (as in the image), you can create your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - the guests should call them.
The host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say big and beautiful toast- and waves the postcard on which he has already written a congratulation. Only he didn’t have enough adjectives, and the guests must suggest them. Everyone randomly offers adjectives related to winter, New Year and holiday, and the presenter writes them down and then reads out the result - the text turns out to be very funny!
"Turnip: New Year's version"
If you love New Year's competitions for the whole family, then turnip is what you need!
So, you need to prepare the participants - they need to match the number of characters in the fairy tale. Each participant gets a role in an impromptu performance. It's simple, the participant needs to remember the key phrase and movement that he must act out when mentioning himself.
- The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation “Both-on!”
- Grandfather rubs his palms and grunts, “Yes, sir!”
- The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, “I would have killed him!”
- The granddaughter dances and sings “I’m ready!” in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
- The bug itches and complains of fleas.
- The cat wags its tail and mannerly drawls, “And I’m on my own.”
- The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says, “We’ve finished the game!”
"Strictly in alphabetical order"
During one of the pauses, the presenter takes the floor and reminds everyone present that New Year's celebration It’s just beginning, but it’s already hard to remember the alphabet. In this connection, the presenter suggests filling the glasses and raising them, but strictly in alphabetical order.
Each guest must make a short toast to his letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second one should start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:
- A It is absolutely necessary to drink to happiness in the new year!
- B Let's go healthy in the new year!
- IN Let's drink to the old year!
- E If we don’t get drunk, we’ll have to eat!
"Bunnies"
If you want to pick up outdoor games for the New Year 2019, play bunny. On New Year's Eve, it is best to play this game at home when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.
Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands, the leader walks around all the players in a circle and whispers to everyone the names of two animals - a wolf and a bunny, a fox and a bunny, and so on. Then he explains the essence of the game - when the presenter says the name of the animal out loud, the person for whom it was given crouches, and his neighbors on the left and right, on the contrary, pull him up, preventing him from crouching. You need to play at a good pace so that the participants get into a frenzy.
The main joke of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people have taken turns squatting to the names of other animals, the leader says “Bunny!”, and the whole circle suddenly tries to sit down (trying to overcome the possible resistance of neighbors, as was the case with other animals).
Naturally, everyone starts laughing, and a pile of small things gathers on the floor!
"News from the New Year"
A great competition that you can play without leaving the table.
The presenter will need to prepare cards on which unrelated words and concepts will be written - five or six words, no more needed. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with hot news from the New Year's issue, using all the words from the card. What to write on cards? Any set of words.
- China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
- Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, bag.
- New Year 2019, fan, tights, pan, scabies.
- Santa Claus, pig, herring, stapler, barrier.
- Nettle, tinsel, Kirkorov, fishing rod, plane.
- Football, shovel, snow, Snow Maiden, tangerines.
- Snowman, beard, tights, bicycle, school.
- Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.
Well, for example, from the last example I gave, you can build something like this: “In the Moscow Zoo, during winter washing, a rug was discovered in a boa constrictor.” There will be a reason to be surprised, and laugh, and drink to the fact that all the news in the new 2019 will be just as positive.
"We're jumping into the New Year"
As a family, we often organize jumping as an entertainment for the New Year, and 2019 will not be an exception, I’m sure - this is already a kind of tradition.
So, how it happens: after drinking for the outgoing year, the presenter brings markers and pencils (the brighter the better) and a large sheet of paper (Whatman paper A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump - so that it passes dynamically, energetically and brightly!
And for all your wishes to come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - some manage to draw several miniatures, for others it is enough to sketch what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually completed or the finishing touches are remaining. After the president’s speech, the presenter invites everyone to join hands, count down the chimes in unison, and solemnly jump into the new year and the fulfillment of their own wishes!
By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and next year checking who has what has come true is also a topic for table conversation, by the way.
"The best"
Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. Good way keep the guests busy - give them unique tasks, but few people want to just compete, right?
Therefore, we do the following - we hang sweets or small gifts on the tree. It is best to opt for figured chocolate or other sweets. Christmas tree decorations. We provide each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we write not names, but some definitions that the guests will have to think about and get to know each other better (ideal when there are newcomers who need to join the existing company).
What to write on labels:
- The owner of the brownest eyes.
- The best high jumper.
- To the biggest hooligan (here you will have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
- The owner of the best tan.
- The owner of the highest heels.
- The owner of the most dangerous job.
- A couple whose number of buttons on their clothes is 10.
- To the one who is wearing more yellow today.
"Song from a Hat"
By the way, almost all New Year's competitions at the table involve playing with a hat - some notes are thrown into the hat in advance, and then they are pulled out and carried out tasks for relatives or colleagues.In the New Year 2019, we will play with our family a popular variation of this game with songs. You need to scribble notes with winter and New Year's words into the hat, each guest blindly takes a note out of the hat and sings a song in which this word appears.
By the way, you will be able to have fun even if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will have a great idea to compose a small song on the go to the most popular tune, or somehow remake one from famous New Year's songs of past years.
By the way, this game is also suitable for a small company of any age - of course, a schoolchild is unlikely to recognize Soviet songs, but the result will be funny, and different age groups will be able to get closer during the game - after all, cool New Year's competitions unite!
"Mittens"
Naturally, New Year's competitions for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?
So, the girls put on robes or shirts, and the guys are given thick winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to quickly button up the girls' shirts so that they don't freeze!
By the way, my friends, who love various New Year's competitions for teenagers and young people, wanted to do this competition in reverse - freeing the girls from their shirts, however, they were forced to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even with mittens it is convenient to pull the hem of the shirt and tear off all the buttons at once. Therefore, it is better to fasten it; it is not easy to do this in mittens.
"Let's draw Santa Claus"
Creative New Year competitions for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.
So, holes are made for the hands in a thick sheet of cardboard. We give the players tassels, they must stick their hands into the holes and portray Santa Claus. At this moment they cannot see what they are drawing.
At work, you can divide the team into male and female teams, and give one the task of portraying the Snow Maiden, and the other - Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to a fairy-tale character.
By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to find funny music - I use cuts from Soviet children's cartoons for New Year's competitions 2019, this usually evokes the warmest emotions.
"We distribute roles"
Begin fun competitions For the New Year, your family can enjoy this kind of entertainment.
Prepare more attributes of fairy-tale New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty Kinder capsules (you can simply wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of candy) and start games at the table for the New Year with an offer to find out who still runs the show.
Everyone present must play their part. These could be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the Snow Queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his reindeer. Provide small attributes to all guests that will be relevant to their role that night - e.g. snow queen a crown is suitable, Santa Claus can loudly knock with his elegant staff, and a company of oversized bunny boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.
Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as Grandma Winter or Mikhailo Potapych, who specially woke up for competitions for the New Year 2019 and New Year's dances, begins to speak a toast.
"Photo tests"
What are some cool competitions for the New Year without photos?
Make an area for photography and collect some props in this corner - guests will be able to take photos in different images, and then you can arrange photo tests. So, you will need to determine who is suitable for the role:
- the most decrepit snowflake;
- the sleepiest guest;
- the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
- the hungriest Santa Claus;
- the most generous Santa Claus;
- the kindest Santa Claus;
- the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
- the most overfed guest;
- the most cheerful guest;
- the most cunning Baba Yaga;
- the evil Kashchei himself;
- the strongest hero;
- the most capricious princess;
- the biggest snowflake;
- and so on…
"Little things from Grandfather Frost"
Tell your guests this legend about how Santa Claus was walking through the forest with gifts, fell with one foot into a snowdrift and spilled gifts from the bag. The big ones remained in the bag, but the small presents fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.
Wrap all kinds of nice little things that you bought in advance in opaque packaging, or, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces fabrics, like miniature bags, tied with thick thread or ribbon.
As pleasant little things may be: calendar cards, candles, keychains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.
Every time it surprises with what trepidation guests wait for these gifts... Not only children, but even adults :-)
Well, and finally, be a good magician and predictor, one more thing New Year's entertainment from website:
Now you know how my holiday will go, and what games will you have for the New Year’s corporate party or home party? Share your ideas, because it’s better to prepare table games for the New Year and interesting competitions in advance, and 2019 is just around the corner!
Just sitting at the table on New Year's Eve and eating too much is boring and dangerous for your figure. But if you diversify the event with games and competitions for adults, you won’t be bored. Even the most serious uncles and aunts will have a lot of fun!
What do you want?
Competition games for warming up
The second one makes a cocktail using the drinks that are on the table. Naturally, you can add whatever comes to mind. But only what the first one saw before “losing his sight.” Well, now he has to take a sip or two and name the ingredients. The one who guesses the most components (or all) is the winner! Such a spectacle is not only fun, but also makes the guests thirsty. Give it a try.
After a delicious snack, when you don’t want to get up yet, you can play songs.
Everyone knows how they divide all the participants of the holiday into two halves and each tries to outsing the other. And you will complicate the task. For example, let one start singing, and the second continues. Or choose theme songs. Let the people delve into their memory and remember only the winter repertoire. The winner of the competition is the one who has the best memory for songs.
Still well perceived during this period New Year's game"Show off."
Probably many people know her. One person comes forward and must show some word or phrase, with gestures, body, but silently. The one who guessed right is the next one to show. And the previous player gives him a task. The trick is to come up with a word or phrase that is difficult to show. Sometimes people agree to depict lines from songs, proverbs, or anything else that is closer to those gathered. It turns out to be fun! Even the most serious adults play and have fun!
Outdoor games for the New Year
While dancing, you can arrange a romantic competition called “Titanic.”
To carry it out you need several pairs. They are invited to pretend to be the heroes of the film of the same name, who said goodbye on a sinking ship. It is recommended to make a piece of sushi for each couple from a sheet of paper. After the next “round” the sheet is folded in half. The winner is the one who shows creativity and stands on a small piece of land together, managing to imitate dance moves.
Props: apples on a string. They are distributed to adult couples. One (usually a man) must eat the fruit, which his partner is holding on a string. She should hold the treat at arm's length. It turns out that it hangs down to about the waist. And he is invited to keep his hands behind his back and bite as best he can. Whoever completes the task first is the “hero of the day!”, or rather New Year’s Eve. We can agree that the winner is the one who can take a bite of the fruit first.
It is also paired. To carry it out you need toilet paper steamed per roll. You issue rolls. Task: one partner must completely wrap the other in a certain time. Whoever managed it won.
The most “adult” competitions
But when the audience has warmed up and had fun, you can move on to “adult” competitions.
For example, "egg rolling."
To conduct it, pairs are formed between a woman and a man. He is asked to sit on a chair, and she is given a chicken egg (boiled). She must roll the prop over her partner's legs under his trousers. The first one to cope without breaking the props wins!
Magic ball.
It is carried out by the same opposite-sex couples. They are given a ball. It is suggested that you keep your hands behind your back and hold the props between your bodies. On command, players must “pop” the balloons. Whoever is first is well done! For the next group of players we complicate the task. Let them hold the balls with their backs (or whatever is lower) and try to crush the ball! Serious adults like it, even really!
Games for relaxation on New Year's Eve 2020
The question and answer game is one of the most fun table games.
Prepare cards in advance from thick paper, on which you write questions and answers. Place cards with questions separately on the table and cards with answers separately.
