What kind of fun would it be without New Year's games, competitions, fairy tales with dressing up and funny entertainment!? Moreover, everyone wants to move around a little and have some fun after the traditionally generous New Year's table with all sorts of goodies and drinks!
On holiday entertainment program It is recommended to include various comic fortune-telling and predictions, but, most importantly, do not forget to choose games and competitions suitable for the gathered company; the festive mood of all guests will largely depend on this.
Offered here New Year's games and competitions for a wide variety of tastes: creative, funny, active and moderately spicy . This funny Games for cheerful people, some of them will come in handy at corporate parties, others are more suitable for home parties and close company friends. Think about which ones you need, and play New Year's Eve with fun and pleasure!
1. New Year's game "Santa Claus is coming.."
This entertainment can be carried out immediately before the appearance of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden and involve all the guests in it, for example, during a dance break. The host invites the guests to stand so as not to disturb each other and call Santa Claus in an unusual way: not by shouting, but by an unusual New Year's dance. The point of the game is as follows: you need to replace the words of the New Year's poem with sign language.
Santa Claus is coming, coming to us,
Santa Claus is coming to us!
And we know that Santa Claus
He brings us gifts! Hooray!
All words are replaced with gestures: “coming” - walking in place, “Santa Claus” - placing a hand with outstretched fingers to the chin (representing a beard), the combination “to us” - with a gesture pointing to oneself. To show the word “we know” we put a finger to the forehead, the word “we” is a gesture pointing to all the guests, the word “carries” is like a bag on the shoulders, and with the word “gifts” - everyone depicts what they dream of. "Hooray!" - everyone is stomping and clapping
For greater interest, it is better to change words for gestures gradually: first one word, then two, until the last word disappears, and only gestures remain for fun musical accompaniment.
And when they start clapping (meaning “hurray”), Father Frost and the Snow Maiden appear, handing out gifts to the “artists” (if any are provided) or starting their program.
2. New Year's competition "Race for Fortune"
The role of “luck” in this competition will be played by durable, unbreakable Christmas decorations, for example, large and colorful balls. Another piece of equipment you will need is children's plastic mini hockey sticks (or Chinese back scratchers), one for each player (3-4 people are enough).
At the start, participants have children’s clubs (or back scratchers) tied to their belts, and the finish line is marked with chairs for each. The chairs will also serve as gates into which players must drive their “ball of luck.” This can only be done with the help of clubs, and in no case should you help with your hands.
Naturally, the one who scores a goal faster wins - he will “drive luck” into his own goal. He is given a good luck talisman (a Christmas tree decoration), he is declared “lucky of the year” - everyone else, including those sitting in the hall, is invited to urgently touch the one who just caught luck, so that they too will be lucky.
3. "Be my Christmas tree!"
First, participants in this competition cut out a Christmas tree toy from colored cardboard. Then, using the resulting clothespin or paperclip, they must hang the “created miracle” on the Christmas tree, but... blindfolded. The most insidious thing about the rules of this game is that the participants, having been “deprived” of their sight, are spun around their axis and then asked to walk to the Christmas tree. In this case, the Christmas tree for everyone will be the first thing they bump into - that’s where they should hang their toy.
Usually, rarely does anyone get to a real Christmas tree, so the main prize is given to the one who stumbles upon the best one and can even hang his work on it.
4. Competition for New Year's holiday"The most resourceful Snow Maiden."
To participate in this competitive game, we form five pairs (boy-girl). The girls are blindfolded, and about ten Christmas tree decorations are hidden in the clothes of the men. Jewelry can be hidden in pockets, socks, in a bosom, hung on a tie, attached to a lapel, and so on. The main thing is to try not to use anything breakable, piercing or cutting in this game.
The task of the “Snow Maiden” girls is to discover everything hidden on their partner’s body. Naturally, the girl who discovers the most toys in the allotted period of time wins and receives the title “The Most Resourceful Snow Maiden”.
5. New Year's greetings for the boss.
This is a party competition. The presenter will need to call five to seven people, preferably both men and women. The presenter asks such an innocent question: which animal, bird or flower (if the boss is a lady) does each of you associate your boss with?
Then everyone comes out, names their association and depicts it, on the command freeze - it becomes a sculpture, the next one comes out - everything is repeated - a whole picture is obtained. Depending on the content of this picture, the toastmaster announces that the employees have decided not to waste time on trifles and give the boss an instant painting by Repin “We Didn’t Expect” or a painting by an unknown author “The Morning After the Corporate Party.”
Perhaps it will be more fun if we limit the associations only to the animal world and then imagine it as a painting by an unknown author, “Animals at a Banquet.”
Everyone gets a chance to join the art and have fun, and the “native” authorities will melt from the attention shown to him personally.
6. “Naughty” signs.
At the beginning of the drawing, six players are shown six signs depicting a green Christmas tree, a bottle of champagne, a roll of toilet paper, chair, pack of New Year's napkins and beautiful box with a bow - a gift. Then the players sit with their backs to the hall, and it is announced to them that one of the shown signs is attached to their chairs in random order, they make a guess at random which one and, in accordance with their guess, answer the questions:
- What do you think happens to you when you are first brought into a home?
- What do you think guests do when they pick you up?
- How often does the owner use you?
- Where do you go after use?
- What can replace you if you really need it?
- What material do you think they are made of?
There are no losers or winners in this prank game, but everyone deserves applause.
7. Game moment "Road to the New Year"
(Thanks to the author - Adekova T.I.)
The text is read by the Presenter. The guests line up and step at the appropriate moment.
Leading. The road to the New Year awaits you,
And he will walk along it all year,
Whoever takes what they need.
We're heading out in droves for the New Year...
Did you take everything with you on the journey?
Since health has been taken,
Take a wider step forward!
Are we in the mood?
Let's take a step together!
We take on problems... Well, alas...
You must not step forward!
And who decided to take it anyway?
You'll have to return it back!
We'll grab the money, because they
We must influence our lives.
And how many pockets can you count?
You'll walk so many steps!
Who's behind? Friends will help you
Have...another pocket.
Those who lag behind are pinned an additional pocket.
You also need to take hope,
It's somehow more fun to walk with her!
Do we take love? By itself!
We can’t live with you without her.
How many grandchildren do you, children, have?
According to their number, you take steps faster.
Who will take friendship with them on the journey?
He boldly takes a whole step forward.
And who decided to take the blues?
I ask you to step back!
And happiness won't hurt us.

And it will enter every home...
Let's take it one step further!
Now turn to each other
And hug tight!
Let's celebrate the New Year together
And walk along his path

Happy New Year to everyone!
The leader hands the first person in the line a bottle of champagne.
Feel free to take a bottle of champagne,
Treat each other to champagne now.
May your path be easy!
And again I wish you all a Happy New Year!
8. “Live” chairs.
In this game, Santa Claus himself “drives”. He recruits participants, there must be at least ten of them, and seats them on chairs. The chairs are arranged in a checkerboard pattern with the seats facing each other. First, they place the number of chairs corresponding to the number of participants involved in the game. The players sit down, and Santa Claus begins to walk around to the New Year's song, and the one next to whom he hits the floor with his staff gets up from his place and begins to follow Frost, as if tied.
Thus, Santa Claus lifts all participants in the process from their chairs and begins to write out various pretzels around the hall. Everyone who follows on his heels must clearly follow all his “zigzags”. From the outside it turns out to be quite an interesting sight, because this whole procession, following Grandfather, either crouches, then waves its arms and performs other actions.
However, you need to immediately warn the players that when Santa Claus hits the floor with his staff twice, they need to run headlong to the chairs and take their place. In fact, while this whole “caterpillar”, led by Grandfather, is “walking,” one chair is removed, so that upon return one of the players will not find a place for himself.
After this trick, the game is repeated again, only for the second time two chairs disappear - then the game is on until the last “survivor” (he gets a prize).
9. New Year's "Crocodile"
Even such a well-known game as “Crocodile” can be presented in a new way at the New Year’s holiday. For example, the theme of guessing pantomimes is to make comic scenes from life and “everyday work”... Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.
To do this, the presenter prepares in advance a lot of paper cards with approximately the following content about Santa Claus: “Santa Claus fell asleep after children's matinee in a bag of gifts”, “Santa Claus grabbed a surplus and woke up in bed with the Snow Woman”, “Children stole Santa Claus’s beard”, “Santa Claus received a telegram asking the Moscow Zoo to give him a deer”, “Santa Claus ate too much ice cream”, “Santa Claus gave the Snow Maiden underwear.”
About the Snow Maiden something like this: “The Snow Maiden will cheat on Father Frost with the Snowman”, “The Snow Maiden worked at a matinee in a sex shop”, “The Snow Maiden gave birth to twins to Father Frost”, “The Snow Maiden found Father Frost in bed with the Snow Queen”, “The Snow Maiden was paid 1000 dollars for a striptease”, “After the holidays, the Snow Maiden gained 6 kg”, etc.
Select tasks for a specific company; of course, they should be different for adult party and for a family holiday.
The rules can be changed a little, for example, divide the participants into two teams, each one draws a card for themselves. Then, one by one, using only facial expressions and gestures, they depict what is written in pantomime style, and the opposing team guesses. You can limit the time, and at the end of the game you can count which team guessed more, or you can not do this at all, because the main thing is general fun.
10. "Who is this?"
Good afternoon, dear readers!
As the New Year approaches, a fun time of games, entertainment, songs, dances and gifts begins for children.
However, for adults, and especially cultural workers, this is another test of strength, because you need to prepare a script for the matinee, rehearse, find costumes and, most importantly, figure out how to entertain the kids near the New Year tree.
So that the kids don’t get bored at the matinee, we present New Year’s games for children near the Christmas tree. I hope that the selection will be useful to you.
Many of us remember the New Year's matinees of Soviet times. The competitions and entertainment at them were quite monotonous.
True, some of them have already become a real tradition, and modern children also look forward to the usual songs, round dances around the Christmas tree and games with Santa Claus. The most popular of them still remain:
- Round dances to the songs “Little Christmas Tree” and “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest.”
- “I’ll freeze”: it is usually carried out by Santa Claus. He runs past the guys who put their hands forward. When Santa Claus approaches, you need to hide your hands. The one whose hands Grandfather touches is eliminated and stands in a circle. The “frozen” will have to recite a rhyme or sing a song. This competition, like the next one, is held to music.
- "Mitten." Santa Claus passes a mitten to the children in a circle. It is important to quickly pass it to the next participant without dropping it. If someone’s mitten falls, that participant drops out and stands in a circle, and the mitten “travels” further.
- Christmas tree, light up! This remark always accompanies the end of the New Year's party. The children unanimously call Santa Claus. When he arrives, everyone shouts together: “Christmas tree, light up!” The tree is lit only for the third time, after which the final song of Santa Claus sounds and gifts are distributed.
These entertainments create a kind of “backbone” of the holiday, without which the New Year is simply unthinkable for children. The organizers and creators of the matinee script can “string” any variants of competitions onto it.
In room
If the matinee is held indoors kindergarten, schools, you can use the following selection of competitions:
Low and high Christmas trees
The game can be played with musical accompaniment. The guys stand in a circle, Santa Claus or another hero is located in the center. At the command “high trees”, participants raise their hands up, “low trees” - lower them down.
Whoever does it wrong or is late goes into the circle. After the game ends, the children in the circle are asked to recite a poem, sing or dance. Small prizes must be prepared in advance for the speakers.
Snowballs
Snow balls are made from crumpled sheets of white paper. The competition can be held among two teams. He may have various options. For example, you can scatter lumps on the floor and ask teams to collect snowballs into baskets while music is playing.
The team whose basket contains the most snowballs wins. Another option is snow basketball. The guys stand in a column. Each participant is given a lump, which they need to get into a basket standing at a distance. The team that throws the most snowballs into the basket wins. The winners are given mini-prizes.
Guess what's in the bag
Various things are placed in Santa Claus's bag. Children must feel by touch which gift is in the bag.
Pass the orange
The competition can be held in teams or in a circle. The task is to pass the orange to the next participants without using your hands. The further the orange goes while the music is playing, the better.
Fishermen
Christmas tree toys with pre-made loops are placed in a large box. The children are given fishing rods with hooks. The task is to pick up as many Christmas tree decorations as possible.
Such funny competitions and games will not let your children get bored and will make the New Year truly festive!
Outdoors
If you started a matinee on the street, you will have to change the scenario a little and include other games and entertainment in it:
Make a snowball
Several willing participants are selected. At the command of the presenter, music plays, and during this time the children must roll a snowball. Whoever gets the most wins.
Towns
One team builds a fortification out of snow. The other one must conquer him. Snowballs are used, with which the participants try to break through the fortification.
King of the Hill
A snow hill is being built. One of the participants stands on top, and the others try to pull him down from there. Whoever succeeds in this becomes the “king” and the game starts all over again.
Accurate shooter
Targets are placed. The task is to hit the target with snowballs.
Similar entertainment can be carried out with children after the traditional matinee. They will amuse the children and prolong the New Year's fun.
So we found out what games you can play with your kids near the Christmas tree for the New Year. Both children and adults can play, this will only make it more fun.
Upcoming holidays!
Ekaterina Chesnakova was with you with games, nursery rhymes and firecrackers.
When choosing games for teenagers, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden must remember that teenagers do not agree to unequal relationships typical for childhood. The guys consider themselves quite adults, although, carried away by the game, they forget about it. They require benevolent and tactful support from adults, which helps to fulfill the desire for independence. Children of this age are in contact with both peers and adults; they try to prove themselves and receive high praise from adults. Girls and boys actively defend their views, especially with regard to hobbies, fashion, tastes, and leisure activities, so it is best to organize a New Year's Eve party for them in a cafe.
It is necessary to take into account that at this age much attention must be paid to the individual. Therefore, I recommend that Santa Claus and Snow Maiden select games where there is an opportunity to express themselves. You can hold a knight's tournament; at this age, boys want to please girls and assert themselves in their own eyes. They perceive positively and willingly play in the “Miss and Mister Party” competition, which has the nominations “Most Charming”, “Superman”, “MissSmile”, “Mr.Gallance”, “Miss Charm”, “Mr.Courage”, “Miss Charm”, “Gentleman” " and so on.
Well received Mind games, especially if there are tasks that require players to think outside the box and have a sense of humor. These could be questions with double meanings or a fun crossword puzzle. In a word, just continuous dancing can very soon tire you and get boring. It is necessary to warm up not only for the legs, but also for the mind.
"Skinny" company
The hoop should fit as much as possible more people. It is only advisable that the guys do not get too carried away - the hoop is not rubber, after all.
Circle, square, triangle
Two teams of 12 people each participate, both freely dancing. On command in the dance, players quickly move into a circle, then into a square and into a triangle.
Dance Marathon
Fast pieces of music are played in a row (it is best to take the most popular ones). Participants in the game must dance non-stop. The most resilient one wins.
Familiar melodies
They invite one person from the team, and place signs with the names of famous performers (composers) in front of them. A fragment of a musical work is played, the players must raise a sign with the name of the performer (composer) or title. You can use works of a certain theme or a certain direction (classics, modern hits).
Cheat sheets
The game requires two or more participants. They are given a roll of toilet paper. These are the cheat sheets. The participants’ task is to hide the paper in their pockets, behind the collar, in trousers, in socks, tearing it into small pieces. Whoever does this first is the winner.
Mummy
Toilet paper will make a magnificent “mummy”. Call two or more pairs of volunteers. One of the players in each pair is the “mummy”, and the second is the “mumiator”. The “mumiator” must wrap the “mummy” with “bandages” made of toilet paper as quickly as possible.
Proverbs
The presenter names proverbs of a particular country, the players indicate a Russian proverb that is similar in meaning. For example, an Arabic proverb says: “I ran from the rain, got caught in the downpour,” and a Russian one: “From the frying pan into the fire.”
1. Iranian: “Where there is no fruit trees, beets will pass for an orange.”
Russian: “For lack of fish and cancer, fish.”
2. Vietnamese: “A leisurely elephant reaches its goal earlier than a frisky stallion.”
3. Finnish: “He who asks will not get lost.”
Russian: “The language will bring you to Kyiv.”
4. English: “Every flock has its own black sheep.”
Russian: “There’s a black sheep in a family.”
5. Indonesian: “The squirrel jumps very briskly, and sometimes it breaks down.” ,
Russian: “A horse has four legs, and he stumbles.”
Blindfold game
10 people are participating: 5 girls and 5 boys. The rest form a large circle, holding hands. The players are blindfolded so that nothing is visible. At first, everyone moves chaotically inside the circle, trying not to push each other. Then, on command, the boys try to form their own circle, and the girls try to form theirs. Intuition is needed here, because you can’t talk. You are allowed to touch each other and determine by touch who is yours and who is someone else’s.
Change your hand
Players are invited to try to draw or color something, but only with their left hand, and those who are left-handed use their right hand.
Guess the condition
Two teams of 6 people are required. Each player of two teams is given a drawing in an envelope that depicts a face with an expression of anger, thoughtfulness, fear, joy, irony, sadness, fear, boredom, surprise, admiration. Alternately, the participants of the two teams read the quatrain:
Guests came to us
Dear ones have come,
It was not in vain that we set the table,
They treated us to pies,
And they read with the same expression as in the picture. The player comes forward and stands in front of the team so that everyone can see his drawing, but the guessing team does not. If the opposing team guesses correctly, it gets 1 point. Whose team scored more points won.
Dance with an orange
2 couples participate. Each pair is given an orange. As soon as the music starts, they must dance with the orange between their partner's cheeks. The winner is the couple who manages to hold the orange while dancing.
Capricious apple
Number of participants - 4 people. One person is holding an apple in the air, which is tied to a short ribbon, and the second participant is trying to eat this apple without using his hands.
Herringbone
A team of 7 people must decorate the “Christmas tree” while the music is playing. A “Christmas tree” is any person from the company. You need to decorate the Christmas tree using improvised means. The winner is the team that decorates the “Christmas tree” with the most “toys.”
Orange boom
There are 12 people in the team. They stand in a row. The first player holds the orange under his chin. On command, players pass the orange to each other without using their hands. The team that doesn't drop the orange wins.
Strange dancing
Two people hold a thick cord 1.5 m long at a height as tall as a person. Those who want to play take turns walking under the cord, performing dance moves. Gradually the cord is lowered lower. The game continues until the most flexible player remains.
Name the fourth
Three words are named, and the fourth (of the same theme) is named by the participants in the game. This game can be played between players sitting at tables. The team that can name the most words wins. For example:
1. Dnieper, Don, Volga... (Yenisei).
2. Plum, pear, apple... (orange).
3. “Opel”, “Mercedes”, “Moskvich”... (“Ford”).
4. Masha, Olya, Lyuba... (Natasha).

11. Cream, perfume, powder... (lipstick).
12. Chocolate, marmalade, candies... (cookies).

Collect snowballs
The game is designed for two people only. Each player is given a basket. Snowballs cut from foam rubber are poured onto the floor. The players are blindfolded, and on command they begin to collect snowballs. The one who collects the most snowballs wins.
"Cheerful boots." Two teams, unlimited number of players. Props: 2 pairs of felt boots big size. The players line up one after another. On command, the first player puts on felt boots and, quickly running around the tree, returns to the team. Having taken off his felt boots, he passes them on to the next one, and so on until all the players have completed the distance.
The team whose players complete the task faster wins.
Wonderful calendar sheet
Each guest receives a piece of paper from a desk calendar. Boys are given odd numbers of the calendar, and girls are given even numbers. As the evening progresses, guests are offered several tasks:
1. Find “yesterday”.
2. Build a team from only “Tuesdays” or from only “Thursdays”.
3. Gather by month.
4. Collect the first week of each of 12 months.
5. Collect all the Wednesdays of one of the months.
Based on the numbers of the flip calendar leaves received, be sure to indicate what month the date is, you can hold a New Year's auction with non-standard prizes.
Looking for a couple
Again, using the calendar leaves, you need to find a couple to dance. The game is played while dancing. The Snow Maiden names any number from 3 to 61, and the players must gather in pairs so that the sum of their numbers on the calendar sheet corresponds to the named number. The one who completes the task first wins.
Jumping bags
Very popular, very simple and at the same time hilarious funny game. Props: two bags. Two teams stand in front of the Christmas tree. The first player on the team is given a bag. Putting it on his feet and holding the edge of the bag on both sides with his hands, he jumps around the tree and returns to the team. He takes off the bag and passes it to the next player. The team whose last player gets to the team first wins.
Score a goal for Santa Claus
We designate the gates with two small Christmas trees. Santa Claus is a goalkeeper. Players take turns trying to score a goal. Whoever hits the goal moves on to the second round. In the second round, 2 attempts are given to score a goal. The players who scored 3 goals each advance to the third round. And so on until one player remains, the winner.
