If at the moment you are storming the Internet for entertainment for children at the Christmas tree, you are here. We will tell you, with your family, at a children's matinee and even directly on New Year's Eve. No complicated props!

Fortune telling and lottery

There are a lot of options. You can put a beautiful spruce branch in a vase and dress it up with fortune-telling notes. Everyone who enters the house rips off a piece of paper and receives a prediction for the next year.

Why not offer guests cookies, fortune-telling sweets? Both adults and children will gladly respond to this little surprise: everyone is interested in looking into the future. You can write anything you want - both humorous prophecies and serious ones.

For instance:

• Be careful, the frost is about to ruffle your cheeks.
• It seems your parents have planned something good and present against you.
• It seems the time has come for everyone to see your unique smile!

Who is frozen to whom?

pandaland.kz

On the pieces of paper, write the names of the body parts (forehead, left ear, right cheek, nose, left index finger, heel, right big toe, belly, etc.). Put them in a hat or magic box. The players should take turns taking out the leaves and "freeze" to the neighbor at the table (or to the previous player) with the part of the body that is written on the piece of paper. You cannot move after being frozen. Each time it will be more difficult to "freeze", you will have to get into strange and sometimes funny poses.

It's snowing?!

Make "snowflakes" from small balls of cotton wool. Give each participant one. On command, the players must throw up their cotton balls and blow on them, trying to keep the "snowflake" in the air for as long as possible. You cannot help with your hands!

New year at the zoo

New Year is celebrated not only by people, but also by animals. People at the festive table sit straight, use a fork and knife. How about animals? Show me how they eat their festive New Year dinner ...

• hippo
• turtle
• giraffe

Don't laugh!

In advance, on the pieces of paper, write one word of the New Year's theme: cone, snowflake, icicle, tree, Snow Maiden, Santa Claus, snowman, garland, etc. Put the leaves in a box or hat. Each player draws out one leaf and reads to himself what is written there. The facilitator asks participants prepared questions. The answer is the word that the player drew. The winner will be the one who answers all the questions of the presenter and does not laugh.

For instance:

What's your name?
- Bump.
- What did you eat for lunch today?
- Snowflake.
- Who do you look like?
- On the icicle.

Sharp Snow Thrower

Make a Christmas tree from a large piece of cardboard, cut holes with a diameter of 15-20 cm in it. Distribute paper balls to the participants in the game. From a distance (mark the conditional line) you need to get into the holes on the tree. The most accurate sniper will receive the prize!

Another version of the game to compete in accuracy. Make "snowballs" with cotton wool, foam, foam or paper. You can buy tennis balls. Place a container (basket, large pot, basin, etc.) in the center of the room. Distribute "snowballs" to the players, place everyone around the "basket", marking a conditional line that cannot be stepped over. The task is to hit the basket with "snowballs".

Dancer with hat

Music is playing. Everyone is dancing near the tree. The leader puts a hat on any dancer, then must show various dance moves, and the rest must repeat after him.

Phototests

cdn.trinixy.ru

Create an image for each guest. Arrange a casting with photo tests for the role:

• the kindest Santa Claus;
• the most greedy Santa Claus;
• the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
• the most sleepy Snow Maiden;
• the most overeating guest;
• the happiest guest;
• the most cunning Baba Yaga;
• the largest snowflake, etc.

Popcorn

Team game. Popcorn cups are attached to the players' feet. Secure them with masking tape. You need to run the allotted distance, scattering as little popcorn as possible. As soon as the players of the team finish, the popcorn is poured into the bowl. The team with the fullest bowl wins.

Magic message

The game will appeal to kids. Prepare a sheet of paper a few minutes before starting. With PVA glue, draw a thematic drawing or make an inscription. The number of pictures must correspond to the number of players. Invite the children to say a magic spell and blow a magic snowball (semolina) over the drawing to bring it to life. A miracle happened!

Making a snowman

There is nothing difficult in making a snowman: three balls, a carrot nose. And you try to blind him together! Two participants sit next to the table, you can hug. The left hand of one participant and the right hand of the other must act synchronously, together, as if they are the hands of one person. This is actually difficult. Try to pinch off a piece of plasticine, roll a ball between your palms ... It is best to form pairs so that adults and children work together.

Who lives under the tree?

Prepare pictures of different animals (bunny, squirrel, dog, cat, mouse, chicken, etc.). Lay the pictures on the table, pictures side down. The player chooses a picture and gestures to everyone else that is depicted. Whoever guesses becomes the leader.

Don't lose your socks

nv.ua

An agile and fun game suitable for all ages. All those present put on colorful socks on their feet, go down on all fours and try to remove the socks from others, but at the same time save their own. The winner is the one who collected the most socks.

Geese and ducks

Participants in the New Year's competition line up one after another so that their hands are on the shoulders in front of the one standing. It is good if the boys alternate with the girls. The presenter approaches each of them and whispers in the ear either “duck” or “goose” (there should be more of such people) so that the others do not hear it. After that, the presenter explains that if he now utters the word "duck", all the players to whom he said it will pull both legs together. If "goose" - one leg. It seems that there is nothing special in this New Year's contest, but as soon as you say the cherished word out loud, you will understand how funny it is.

Attracting the symbol of the year

In advance, you need to draw up several interesting and informative questions regarding the animal, which will be a symbol of the coming year. The one who gives the most correct answers will receive a prize in the form, for example, of a favorite treat of the animal itself.

Now she is smart ...

Team game. Each team receives Christmas tree decorations and clothespins. The task is to hang everything on ... one of the team members. Let him spread his fingers and shine like a Christmas tree! The presenter keeps track of the time, you can turn on music or "chimes" to count the time.

Happy child 27.11.2016

Dear readers, the New Year and happy holidays are coming soon. I suggest you prepare for them in advance! Today on the blog we have made a selection of New Year's games for children for you. What to play with the whole family? How to keep kids of different ages busy? How to properly organize the playing space? What are the secrets in this matter? We will try to find answers to these and other questions in the article.

The head of the column, Anna Kutyavina, will share her thoughts and ideas for games for the New Year for children. I give her the floor.

Hello dear readers of Irina's blog! Feel what the frosty air smells like outside the window? With snow, a Christmas tree, tangerines ... Although according to the calendar, until the most anticipated holiday of the year there is still a whole month, many of us already have an expectation of a miracle in our souls. Indeed, on New Year's Eve, not only our children, but we ourselves often make the most cherished wishes, sincerely believing that they will certainly come true! And from January 1, as in a fairy tale, a new life will begin ...

So, let's start and get ready for the holiday fun? So as not to sit out the last hours of December on the Internet, in a frantic search for new ideas for games, let's take important steps towards a happy New Year right now. As long as there is time, strength, energy and desire. And also - there are a lot of tasty and non-standard ideas for fun! Go?

For your convenience, we have divided all games by age category. So it will be easier for you to navigate and choose what is best for your child. There are games near the Christmas tree, games with rhymes, New Year's music games. A separate category is games for the whole family - a creative space in which there is a place for everyone: mothers and fathers, grandparents, aunts and uncles and children!

New Year's games for children under 2 years old

Let's start considering the fun with the smallest heroes of the holiday. Usually, children begin to actively participate in simple games from 1.5-2 years old. To toddlers even younger, we offer only the simplest: round dances around the Christmas tree in the arms of mom; funny rhymes and songs with parents. Remember that babies should never be overloaded with emotions, including positive ones! The "Christmas tree" for such children lasts no more than half an hour, and we will certainly look at the child's condition. If he is tired, we give him time to rest.

It's great if moms love to sing, write poems and fairy tales. It's time to fantasize and gradually include the baby in the creative process. The main thing is the emotional involvement of parents, the desire to play and create. Even with yearlings, you can make small crafts together, glue a New Year's toy - boots from two cardboard parts, and then paint with colored sparkles. The baby just sits in the arms of the mother, and the mother does everything herself using the "hand in hand" method. Then the toy is solemnly hung on the tree, and each guest is informed who made such beauty. And everyone is happy and contented.

It's good for kids to include short New Year's songs, under which you can clap their hands, stomp their feet, twist their booty. Remember first of all about safety precautions: if there is a toddler in the house, the tree should not stand on the floor, especially if it is hung with glass toys and garlands with lights.

New Year's games and contests for children from 2 to 6 years old

Now we pass to the most "grateful" age. Preschoolers are very fond of games and fun, they are active and sociable. We present to your attention a selection of games for preschoolers:

Game "Guess the Gift"

Place many different items and toys in a large bag. Invite your baby to feel what is in his hand. If the child guesses the name of the item, he receives a gift.

The game "Owl and animals"

One driver is chosen - "owl". The rest of the children show various animals: birds, mice, butterflies, frogs, bunnies, etc.
The driver gives the command: "Day!" - and all the "animals" run and jump merrily. On the second command: "Night!" - everyone freezes and does not move. The owl flies to "hunt". Everyone who laughs, moves, changes posture, becomes the prey of an owl.

The game "It's boring to sit like that ..."

We seat the kids on chairs near one wall. The leader reads a rhyme:

It's boring, boring to sit like that
Look at each other.
Isn't it time to run
And change places?

With these words, the children quickly run across to the opposite wall, trying to take free chairs. There are one fewer chairs than players. The one without a chair is eliminated from the game. The chairs are also removed one by one. The game is repeated until the winner takes the last chair.

Game "Fox and Hares"

Children move according to the assignment in the text:

On the forest lawn
Bunnies scattered.
These are the bunnies
Runaway bunnies.
(Bunny kids are running around the hall)
Bunnies sat in a circle
Dig the spine with a paw.
These are the bunnies
Runaway bunnies.
("Bunnies" sit down, "dig" roots)
Here is a chanterelle running -
Red-haired sister.
Looking for where the bunnies are,
Runaway bunnies.

(The fox runs between the kids. When the song ends, it catches up with the kids).

Game "Winter mood"

The leader reads the rhymes, and the children answer: "true", "wrong".

1. Bloomed in the midst of frost
There are large roses on the pine.
They are collected in bouquets
And the Snow Maiden is handed over. (Wrong)

2. With Snow Maiden Snowman
Used to come to children.
He loves to listen to rhymes,
And then eat sweets. (Right)

3. Santa Claus melts in winter
And bored under the Christmas tree -
A puddle remained of it;
On a holiday, he is not needed at all. (Wrong)

4. In February on New Year's Eve
Good Grandpa is coming
He has a big bag
All filled with noodles. (Wrong)

5. Toadstools do not grow in winter,
But the sled is rolling.
Children are happy with them -
For both girls and boys. (Right)

6. To us from hot countries in winter
Miracle butterflies are flying
Snowy warm at times
They want to collect nectar. (Wrong)

7. On a glorious New Year's holiday
The main cactus for kids -
It is green and prickly
Fir-trees are much cooler. (Wrong)

8. Blizzards are sweeping in January,
Spruce dressing up with snow.
Bunny in his white fur coat
Rides boldly along the forest. (Right)

Relay game "Rybka"

The leader divides the children into 2 teams. Each team receives a small fishing rod with a hook.

Each team has a large blue hoop - "pond". In the pond there are toy fish with loops at the mouth, according to the number of participants. To the rhythmic music, the captains go to the pond, pick up the fish on the hook with a fishing line, put them in the buckets of their teams. Then the rod is passed to the next participant. The winner is the team that finishes fishing first.

And what a holiday without music. Pick it up in advance, music always creates a festive atmosphere. And kids always like these kinds of music games.

Game "Round dance around the tree"

The simplest and favorite fun for kids! Turn on a funny song: "It's cold for a little Christmas tree in winter" or "A Christmas tree was born in the forest", and go!

The game "Snowball in a spoon"

2 players participate at the same time. They are given a spoon in their mouth, in a spoon - a cotton ball. At the signal, children run in different directions in the direction around the tree. The winner is the one who comes in first and whose snow remains in the spoon.

Game "Around the Christmas tree in bags"

2 children play at the same time. They stand with their feet in the bags, supporting the top of the bags with their hands. At the signal, players run in different directions around the tree. The fastest wins. Then the next pair plays.

Game "We are funny kittens"

The presenter turns on funny music. Children pair up and dance.
The host says, “We are funny kittens,” and the couples break up. Each one shows a dancing kitten.

It is also very good to offer the kids various winter riddles. Children are happy to recite poetry and sing songs to Grandfather Frost. And they love to receive gifts.

Let's watch a video of how Santa Claus and Snow Maiden play different interesting games with children! There are a lot of ideas here.

Games for children 6-10 years old

Children of this age can be offered a wide variety of New Year's games, including musical games, dances, relay races, riddles. Various production of handicrafts and Christmas tree decorations are also going well. Imagine and get involved!

Game "New Year's Castle"

Several people are playing. First, they are invited to carefully study the drawn drawing of the New Year's castle. Then everyone gets a set of plastic cups. Players are blindfolded. They get to work.

The participant who reproduces the drawing most accurately and quickly wins the competition.

Game "Mandarin Football"

Children are divided into 2 teams. Tangerines are laid out on the table. Players use two fingers to try to score a goal for the opposing team.

The game "The most accurate snow shooter"

Participants try to hit the target with snowballs - a target, or a bucket, a basket, a large box. The most accurate shooter wins the competition.

Game "Winter Wind"

Players sit down at the table and try to blow a paper ball, cotton ball or paper snowflake onto the floor.

Games near the Christmas tree and music games

Game "Decorate the Christmas tree"

Children are divided into 2 teams. Near each of them, the presenter puts a box with unbreakable Christmas tree decorations.

There are two decorated artificial Christmas trees not far from the teams. The children take turns taking one toy from the box, running over to their team's Christmas tree, hanging the toy on it and running back. The game continues until the last player. The first team to decorate the Christmas tree wins.

Game "Cap"

Children stand in a circle. Fun music turns on. Players begin to pass the New Year's hat in a circle. When the music stops, the one who still has the cap in his hands puts it on his head and performs the task of Santa Claus.

Family games

When a big family gathers at the festive table, it's time to play merry family New Year games. They perfectly unite representatives of different generations, and the connection between loved ones becomes even closer and deeper. Also, such games can be offered to companies of teenagers and adults.

The game "We make a snowman"

To play you need softened plasticine. Two players sit side by side at the table. The left hand of one participant and the right hand of the other work like the hands of one person, sculpting a snowman. It is not simple! But it really unites! It's great if each couple has children and adults.

Game "Slipper for Cinderella"

All participants in the game pile up their shoes. Players are blindfolded. The presenter shuffles the shoes into a pile and commands: "Come on, find your shoe!" Each blindfolded participant looks for his pair of shoes and puts on shoes. Whoever coped with the task first is the winner.

Cinderella game

Two participants are required. Each is blindfolded and told to dismantle his slide. Peas, beans, nuts, dried mountain ash and other ingredients are mixed in the slides. Blindfolded participants sort the fruits into groups.

Game "Snow Mission"

You need to take a small ball, or make a "snow" ball of cotton wool. The participants in the game stand in a circle. The "snowball" is transmitted in a circle.

The presenter says:

We all ride a snowball
We all count to five.
One, two, three, four, five -
You should sing a song!

Whoever has a "snowball" in his hands on the last phrase fulfills this wish. The last phrase changes: "You dance a dance!", "And you read poetry!", "Tell you a fairy tale!" and so on.

And here's another very interesting game for the whole family for the New Year. I suggest you watch the video.

New Year's karaoke

What about the new year without songs? Pick up a list of "cons" in advance, such as:

- "The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree",
- "Three white horses",
- "The ceiling is icy, the door is creaky",
- "It's cold for a little Christmas tree in winter",
- "Five minutes",
- "Blue frost",
- "Song about bears", etc.
Play and sing with the whole family!

Dance game "Train"

Adults and children stand in a column, put their hands on the waist of the previous dancer. And the locomotive starts to move!

Our games are suitable for organizing a fun space at home, as well as for matinees and corporate events. Some even can and should be played outside.

Friends, I sincerely hope that our New Year games and contests for children will be to your taste, and you will certainly find something for yourself! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I thank Anya for great ideas. It remains only to think over everything to the smallest detail in order to have an interesting time with the children.

Dear ones, and if you want to learn funny, perky songs for the New Year with your children, I invite you to the music blog page. These songs will create exactly the mood, they can be set in the background when you will be holding New Year's games with children and near the Christmas tree, and musical ones.

Merry Christmas songsHome first aid kit

Have you already started preparing contests for the new year 2019? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and contests for the New Year, and I found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Pig with fun and joy.

How to prepare for contests and games: fun and interesting contests for the New Year will help save even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company with the TV, not to mention a party for a fun company. However, it is best to prepare a little.

1. Make a plan for games and contests. A group of adults will need to eat and raise their glasses for the new year, and dance, so the game program should be carefully woven into the natural course of the party.
2. Prepare props. Having decided what you will be playing at home for the new year, make a list of what you need for this or that competition. It is best to arrange the props and prizes according to thematic contests (for this I use small gift bags).
3. Stock up on prizes. People are very fond of receiving small funny prizes - sweets, chocolates, cute Christmas toys. It is better to take prizes with a margin.
4. Supporting materials are best done on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on ordinary cards in advance, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
5. Pick up music, identify your assistants, prepare a place for games.

Collection of contests and games

"Wishes"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of contests are those where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be offered to burst balloons with wishes inside.

It is necessary 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 embedded. For example, you can give a guest scissors and offer to cut the ball they like, and then read it out loud to all the guests - such a simple but sweet entertainment helps the company to have fun and unite.

"Tsiferki"

New Year's games and contests based on the “question and answer” model always attract a lot of applause. It is not surprising - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the host distributes small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and offers 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 rounds. When all the guests have coped with the task, the presenter says that now all those present will be able to learn more about each other - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them by picking up a piece of paper with the recorded numbers and loudly announcing the answer.

It is best to choose simple questions - how old is this or that guest, how many times a day he eats, how much he weighs, how many times he stayed for the second year, and so on.

"Not a word of truth"

My favorite fun is funny contests for the new year. Of course, for the company of retirees it will be necessary to select something more decent, but in your circle you can always have fun - for example, playing the game "Not a word of truth."

The presenter will need to prepare a lot of New Year's questions in advance such as:

• what tree is traditionally dressed up for a holiday?
• which film in our country symbolizes the new year?
• what is customary to launch into the sky on New Year's Eve?
• who is molded out of snow in winter?
• who on TV addresses the Russians with a New Year's speech?
• outgoing year - who is the year according to the Chinese calendar?

It is better to write down more questions, you can ask about New Year's traditions in different countries, or the habits of guests. During the game, the host will have to quickly and cheerfully ask their questions, and the guests will have to answer without saying a word of the truth.

Anyone who is mistaken and answers truthfully, based on the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various desires - you can use desires to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to shove several slices of tangerine by both cheeks and say something like "I am a hamster and I eat grain, do not touch it - it is mine, and whoever takes it is the end!"... Explosions of laughter are guaranteed - both during the game and during the "punishment" of the losing participant.

"Accurate shooter"

As entertainment for the new 2019 year, you can play snipers. The funnest of all is to play this game when the participants are already a little drunk - and coordination becomes more free, and less constraint, and getting to the target is already a little more difficult.

The essence of the game is as follows - guests are divided into two teams, and in turn each player throws "snowballs" into the bucket. A bucket from the players is set at a distance of five to seven meters; as "snowballs" you can use cotton balls, crumpled paper, or just take a couple of sets of simple Christmas balls made of plastic, which are sold in any supermarket.

I decided to improve this 2019 new year party game for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a "target" - getting into them with a soft ball of cotton is even more difficult than into a bucket.

"New Year decoration"

Of course, New Year's contests for adults can be less athletic.

All those present must be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The teams are tasked with constructing a New Year's ball. For crafting, you can only use toilet items, accessories and decorations that are on the team members. 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 contests and try to just sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint their jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to say a short speech into an impromptu microphone. So they will simultaneously be involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled from the table.

And, of course, the sight of my own mother, who speaks heartfeltly 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 battle on the ice in her own living room is priceless. :))

"Come, forest deer"

By the way, if you are looking for contests for a corporate party 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. Here you do not need to divide guests into teams, you just need to invite them to split into pairs.

Each pair has a "deer" and "Santa" (you can give one of the makeshift horns, and the other santa claus caps - both are sold for mere pennies in the store of fixed prices before the new year).

The "deer" needs to be blindfolded and made a sled - no need to be smart, a simple clothesline or cord that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his "deer". The track is built from the pins, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. The winners are those participants who came to the finish line earlier than others and did not knock down the pins. Instead of pins, you can use empty bottles, cardboard drink cups or paper cones (we made them like 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 each new year wrote a collective New Year's greetings for everyone present. You can use ready-made text (as in the image), you can make your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - guests should name them.

The presenter invites the guests to congratulate each other and say a big and beautiful toast - and waves a postcard on which he has already written down congratulations. Only he didn't have enough adjectives, and the guests should suggest them. All in disagreement offer adjectives related to winter, new year and holiday, and the host writes them down and then reads out the result - the text turns out to be very funny!

"Turnip: New Year's version"

Love New Year's contests for the whole family - then the turnip is what you need!

So, you need to prepare the participants - you need them according to the number of characters in the fairy tale. Each participant is assigned a role in an impromptu performance. It's simple, the participant needs to remember the key phrase and the movement that he should act out when mentioning himself.

1. The turnip will clap his knees and then clap his hands with the exclamation "Oba!"
2. The grandfather rubs his palms and groans "Ta-ak-s!"
3. The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, "I would beat you!"
4. The granddaughter sings "I'm ready!" in a high voice (when this role is played by men, it turns out just fine).
5. The bug itches and complains about fleas.
6. The cat wags its "tail" and manneredly holds out "And I am on my own."
7. The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says, “We’re done!”.

After everyone has tried themselves in a new role, the presenter reads the text of the fairy tale (there are no changes here), and the actors act out their role every time they hear about themselves. Grandfather planted (rubs his hands and groans) a turnip (clap-clap, both-na!) Believe me, bursts of laughter will be enough, especially when the tale comes to the end, and the host will list all the participants in turn.

"Strictly alphabetical"

In one of the pauses, the presenter takes the floor and reminds everyone present that the New Year's celebration is just beginning, but the alphabet is difficult to remember. In this connection, the host proposes to fill the glasses and raise them, but strictly in alphabetical order.

Each guest should make a short toast to their own letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second must start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:

1. ANDan absolute must-have for happiness in the new year!
2. Blet's get healthy in the new year!
3. INlet's drink for the old year!
4. Eif we don't get drunk, we'll have to gorge ourselves!

The task for everyone present is to make toasts to each letter of the alphabet, and then choose the winner - the one who came up with the best toast, which is worth drinking for, becomes him!

"Bunnies"

If you want to pick up outdoor games for the new year 2019 - play bunny. It's best to play this game at home for the New Year when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.

Everyone stands in a circle and hold hands, the presenter 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 pronounces the name of the animal aloud, the person to whom it was made crouches, and his neighbors on the left and right, on the contrary, pull him up, not allowing him to sit down. You need to play at a good pace so that the participants go into a rage.

The main trick of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people have alternately squatted on the names of other animals, the presenter says “Bunny!”, And the whole circle sharply tries to sit down (trying to overcome the possible resistance of neighbors, as was the case with other animals).

Naturally, everyone laughs, and a bunch of smalls gathers on the floor!

"News from the new year"

An excellent competition that you can play without leaving the table.

The moderator will need to prepare cards on which unrelated words and concepts will be written - five or six words, no more. 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 the cards? Any set of words.

• China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
• Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, travel bag.
• New 2019 year, 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, bike, school.
• Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.

How do you come up with news? Set an example for your guests by showing that you need to use all the words, and the stranger the news, the more interesting.

Well, for example, from the last example I gave you can build something like this: "In the Moscow zoo, during the winter wash, a rug was found in a boa constrictor." There will be a reason to be surprised, and laugh, and to drink for all the news in the new 2019 to be as positive.

"Jumping into the new year"

In the family circle, as entertainment for the new year, we often arrange jumps, and 2019 will not be an exception, I am sure - this is already a kind of tradition.

So, how it happens: after having drunk the outgoing year, the presenter brings felt-tip pens and pencils (the brighter, the better) and a large sheet of paper (Whatman A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump in - so that it is dynamic, energetic and bright!

And so that all desires come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - someone has time to draw several miniatures, someone just schematically draw what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually finished or the final touches remain. After the President's speech, the host invites everyone to join hands, count the chorus in chorus, and solemnly jump into the new year and into the realization of their own desires!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and next year we check who has what came true - also a topic for a table conversation, by the way.

"The most of the most"

There are good New Year's activities without a presenter. A good way to keep guests occupied is to give them quirks, but few people just want to compete, right?

Therefore, we act as follows - we hang sweets or small gifts on the tree. It is best to opt for curly chocolate or other sweet Christmas tree decorations. We supply each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we do not write names, but some definitions over which guests will have to reflect and get to know each other better (ideally when there are newcomers who need to join an existing company).

What to write on labels:

1. The owner of the darkest eyes.
2. The best high jumper.
3. The biggest bully (here you will have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
4. To the owner of the best tan.
5. The owner of the highest heels.
6. The owner of the most dangerous job.
7. A pair whose clothing buttons add up to 10.
8. The one who wears more yellow today.

I think you get the main message. The guests will independently begin to find out who was resting where, who has a brighter tan, measure the length of heels and discuss the work.

"Song from the Hat"

By the way, almost all New Year's contests at the table involve playing with a hat - they throw some notes into the hat in advance, and then take out and carry out tasks from relatives or colleagues.

In the new year 2019, with our family, we will play a popular variation of this game with songs. In the hat you need to sketch notes with winter and New Year's words, each guest blindly pulls out a note from the hat and sings a song in which this word occurs.

By the way, it will be possible to have fun even if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will have a smart idea to compose a small song on the go to the most popular tune, or somehow remake one from famous New Year songs of the past.

By the way, this game is also suitable for a small company of any age - of course, a student 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 contests unite!

"Mittens"

Naturally, contests for the new year for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?

So, girls are 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 contests for teenagers and young people, wanted to make this contest the other way around - while 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 shirt floor 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's contests for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.

So, holes for hands are made in a dense sheet of cardboard. We give the players tassels, they must stick their hands through the holes and depict Santa Claus. At this moment they do not see what they are drawing.

At work, you can divide the team into male and female teams, and give the task to some to portray the Snow Maidens, and to others - Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to the fairytale character.

By the way, if you are looking for contests for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to find funny music - I use a cut from Soviet children's cartoons for New Year's contests 2019, this usually evokes the warmest emotions.

"Handing out the roles"

You can start fun contests for the new year for the family with this kind of entertainment.

Prepare more attributes of fabulous New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty capsules from kinder (you can simply wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of sweets) and start playing at the table for the new year by asking to find out who still runs the show.

Everyone present should play out their role. It can be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and a snow maiden, a snow queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his reindeer. Distribute small attributes to all guests that will correspond to their role on this night - for example, a crown fits the snow queen, Santa Claus can knock loudly with an elegant staff, and a company of over-grown bunny boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's drinking games will acquire a new color as soon as Grandma Zima starts to speak to toast or Mikhailo Potapych, who has specially woken up for competitions for the New Year 2019 and New Year's dances.

"Photo tests"

What are some cool New Year contests without photos?

Make a photo area and collect some props in this corner - guests can take pictures in different ways, and then you can arrange photo tests. So, you will need to determine who is suitable for the role:

• the most decrepit snowflake;
• the most sleepy guest;
• the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
• the most hungry Santa Claus;
• the most generous Santa Claus;
• the kindest Santa Claus;
• the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
• the most overeating guest;
• the happiest guest;
• the most cunning Baba Yaga;
• the most evil Kashchei;
• the most powerful hero;
• the most capricious princess;
• the largest snowflake;
• and so on…

By the way, you can hold this competition a little differently - stock up on props, and invite the guests to draw out the role in which they have to be photographed without looking, and the rest of the participants should help with advice and deed to better embody the image. You can laugh in the process, and when you look at the pictures - fortunately, you can do this literally in a few minutes.

"Little things from Santa Claus"

Tell the guests a legend about how Santa Claus walked through the forest with gifts, fell with one foot into a snowdrift and spilled gifts from the bag. Large ones remained in the bag, but small presents fell out. And you picked them up and now present them to all the guests.

Wrap all kinds of nice little things that you bought in advance in an opaque package, or, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of fabric, like miniature bags tied with a thick thread or ribbon.

As pleasant little things there can be: calendars, candles, key chains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.

Each time it surprises with what trepidation the guests are waiting for these gifts ... Not only children, but even adults :-)

Well, and finally, be a good magician and predictor, another New Year's entertainment from the site:
