New Year's games for children 4 6 years old. New Year contests: for adults, for children, for a fun company

Have you already started preparing contests for the new year 2020? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and contests for the new year, and found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Rat in a fun and joyful way.

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.

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 flow of the party.
Prepare props. Having decided what you will be playing at home for the new year, make a list of what will be required for this or that competition. It is best to arrange the props and prizes according to thematic contests (I use small gift bags for this).
Stock up on prizes. People are very fond of receiving small funny prizes - sweets, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It is better to take prizes with a margin.
Supporting materials are best done on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them in advance on ordinary cards, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
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 balls, inside which there will be wishes.

It is necessary to prepare in advance a large bunch of balloons (their number should be more than the number of guests, just in case), inside which little 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-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, by 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 presenter will have to quickly and cheerfully ask his questions, and the guests will have to answer, without speaking a word of the truth.

Anyone who makes mistakes 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 year 2020, you can play snipers. The funnest thing is to play this game when the participants are already a little drunk - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it is already 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 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 game for the new year 2020 party for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a "goal" - 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 building 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 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 be simultaneously 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 a mother who speaks soulfully 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 improvised 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 lace that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his "deer". A 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 - they should be called by guests.

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 now he did not have enough adjectives, and the guests should prompt them. All in disagreement offer adjectives related to winter, new year and holidays, 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.

The turnip will clap his knees and then clap his hands with the exclamation "Oba!"
The grandfather rubs his palms and groans "Ta-ak-s!"
The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, "I would have nailed it!"
The granddaughter sings "I'm ready!" in a high voice (when this role is played by men, it turns out just fine).
The bug itches and complains about fleas.
The cat wags its "tail" and manneredly holds out "And I am on my own."
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 whenever they hear about themselves. Grandfather planted (rubs his hands and grunts) a turnip (clap-clap, wow!) And further in the text. Believe me, bursts of laughter will be enough, especially when the fairy 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 already difficult to remember. In this connection, the presenter 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:

A An absolute must-have for happiness in the new year!
B Let's go healthy in the new year!
V Let's drink for the old year!
E If 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 a winner - the one who came up with the best toast, which is worth drinking for, becomes it!

"Bunnies"

If you want to pick up outdoor games for the new year 2020 - play bunny. On New Year's Eve, playing this game at home is best 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!"

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 presenter 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 Year, fan, tights, saucepan, scabies.
Santa Claus, rat, 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 a winter wash, a rug was found in a boa constrictor." There will be a reason to be surprised, and laugh, and to drink to ensure that all the news in the new 2020 is as positive.

"Jumping into the new year"

In the family circle, as entertainment for the new year, we often arrange jumps, and 2020 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 - so that it passes dynamically, energetically and brightly!

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 has enough time to sketch 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 presenter invites everyone to join hands, count the chorus 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"

Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. A good way to keep guests occupied is to give them quirks, but few people just want to compete, right?

Therefore, we do the following - 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:

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

I think you get the main message. Guests will independently begin to find out who was vacationing 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 2020, 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 the 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 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 contests unite!

"Mittens"

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

So, the 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 do not 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 had 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 brushes, 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 2020, 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 kinder capsules (you can just wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of sweets) and start playing at the table for the new year with a proposal to find out who still rules 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 the guests that will match 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 2020 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;
etc…

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 will 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 it 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. The big ones remained in the bag, and the small presents fell out. And you picked them up and now present them to all the guests.

Wrap all kinds of pleasant 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 fortuneteller, another New Year's entertainment from the site:

Now you know how my holiday will go, and what games will you have for a New Year's corporate party or home party? Share your ideas, because it is better to prepare table games for the New Year and interesting contests in advance, and 2021 is just around the corner!

"Snow mission"

For this game, you can use a small ball or make a "snow" ball out of cotton wool. The participants in the game stand in a circle and pass a "snow" ball in the circle. At the same time, they are sentenced:

We all ride a snowball
We all count to five.
One, two, three, four, five -
Sing you a song!

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

"Anecdote" with a beard ""

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

"Chef competition"

For a certain time (for example, 5 minutes), the participants in the game must draw up New Year's menus. All dishes in it must begin with the letter "H" (New Year). The dishes on the menu for Santa Claus must begin with the letter "M", and for the Snow Maiden - with the letter "S". The winner is the one with the largest menu.

"I'll sing now!"

On New Year's Eve, it is customary to sing songs and lead round dances around the tree. But this activity can be varied. For example, after the presenter's clap, everyone begins to sing the famous song "It's cold for a little Christmas tree in winter ...". On the second clap, singing out loud stops, but all the participants in the game continue to sing to themselves. On the third clap, everyone begins to sing out loud again. The one who entered inappropriately is eliminated.

"Fairy-tale character"

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

"Cinderella"

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

"Mysterious Prize"

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

"Mobile phone"

The participants in the game call the numbers in order. Those who get the number 5 or multiples of it say "dzin-dzin". Those who get the number 7 and its multiples say "ding-dilin". The one who made a mistake is eliminated from the game.

"Choose a prize!"

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

"Slipper for Cinderella"

The participants in the game put their shoes in a pile and blindfold themselves. The presenter shuffles the shoes into a pile and gives the command: "Find your shoe!" Blindfolded participants need to find their pair of shoes and put on their shoes. Whoever copes with the task faster is the winner.

"Rushing"

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

"Harvest pickers"

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

"Guesses"

Each participant in the game is attached to the back of a piece of paper with the name of an animal, object, etc. (for example, an elephant, a pen, a pear, an airplane), but so that the players do not know what is written in their papers. But they can read what is written on the back of others. Participants in the game should ask each other leading questions to find out what is written on their backs. Answers can only be "yes" or "no". The one who is the first to guess his "name" is the winner. The game is played to the last guess. All receive incentive prizes.

"Sculptors"

This competition is best done outdoors. The host names a letter, and the participants of the competition must sculpt any thing out of the snow that starts with this letter. The one who blinds faster and more reliably won. At home, you can hold this competition using plasticine.

Magic tricks

Learn these simple tricks, and on New Year's Eve in the eyes of your guests you will become an unsurpassed magician.

The thread on the jacket

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

Focus secret: Before showing the trick, you put a small pencil in the inner pocket of your jacket, on which you wind several meters of thread from the spool. Use a needle to push the end of the thread through the fabric of the jacket to the outside. The main thing is that there are no traces left in your pocket after the demonstration of the trick, if especially vigilant spectators decide to examine your pockets. Therefore, the thread is wound around the pencil.

Three glasses and paper

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

Pick up the third glass and invite the audience to place it between the two glasses on a sheet of paper so that the paper does not bend. No one, of course, succeeds. Then you demonstrate your "magical" abilities.

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

Magic rope

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

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

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

Magic "piglet"

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

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

Without getting your hands wet

Take a large flat plate, place a coin on it and fill it with a little water so that it covers the coin. Then invite the audience to take the coin without getting their hands wet.

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

Three layouts

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

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

Tricky trick

Take a deck of cards. Invite one of the viewers to choose and remember a card and put it on top of the deck without showing you. Then remove the deck and put the bottom of it on the top. Lay the cards face up and point out the hidden card unmistakably.

Focus secret: To find the hidden card, let's use a little trick. Before demonstrating the focus, we memorize the lowest card of the deck. Now, when laying out the deck, the hidden card will lie in front of the card that we spied on.

Guessed card

You invite four spectators to sit down with you at the table. Everybody is dealt five cards. After that, the audience must memorize one card from those that are in their hands. You collect cards and lay them out on the table in five piles. Spectators choose one of the piles. You take cards and fan them out to the audience. Then you ask which of them sees their card. Having received the answer, you unmistakably indicate the card that they remember.

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

Kings and Ladies

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

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

Target number

Invite a viewer to think of a number. After that, the viewer has to multiply it by 2, then add 8, divide by 2 and subtract the number that he intended. After a significant pause, you announce that the resulting number is 4.

Focus secret: There is no secret, pure mathematics!

New Year is the main and most anticipated winter holiday, especially for children. What child will not be delighted with a merry round dance around a festively decorated Christmas tree sparkling with colorful lights, the presence of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden? And funny contests, games for children will make the New Year even more interesting. Even a simple collective game will seem especially exciting if a friendly children's team with a positive attitude will participate in it. The kids especially love the children's games and contests for the New Year, in which incentive prizes are provided for winning in addition to the usual New Year's gifts.

Contests for the little ones

Christmas story

Competition for the New Year in kindergarten very often relies on fairy tales. Here, the kids themselves have to come up with their own fairy tale. First, they need to be divided into 2 teams. Each of the teams, in turn, the leader asks leading questions: "Once upon a time, who was there?", "And where did they live?", "Where did they go?" etc. The children first consult within their team, and then give collective answers. So you can accompany the entire scenario of the tale. Surely both fairy tales will turn out to be very original, so it is hardly worth choosing a winner here.

Where is the tree?

When choosing contests for employees' children for the New Year, you can try this one. All children are divided into 2 teams, and each one chooses a captain. After that, both teams line up in two parallel lines. The host hands over three flags to the captain of each team: on two of them fairy-tale characters or animals are drawn, and on the third - a Christmas tree. This is followed by the command of the leader, and the team captains transmit one flag at a time along the chain back, while the flag with the Christmas tree is transmitted last. As soon as the last player in the chain receives this flag, he must raise his hand with it up and shout "Yolka!" The team whose flag flies up earlier wins.

Magic scooter

Children's New Year's games and contests are always especially attractive to children. This game requires small artificial trees and a couple of scooters. Children need to be divided into 2 teams and lined up in front of their row of arranged Christmas trees. Then the presenter gives a start and the first pair of scooters competing must go around each of the trees in their row in a circle, then return to the team and pass the scooter to the next participant. The winner is the team that reaches the finish line first and knocks down fewer trees.

Cat and mouse

For this competition, you will need a long elastic band (3-4 m), the ends of which must be tied. Among the children, a “cat” is chosen, which sits down in the middle of the circle formed by “mice” and “sleeps”. The elastic should be slightly taut, covering the outside of the legs of the mice at ankle level. Then the music turns on, and the mice lightly dance, first clockwise, then counterclockwise. But suddenly the music stops, the cat wakes up, and then the mice need to jump out of the rubber band as quickly as possible, and the gape of the mouse becomes a cat. Then the mice return to the circle, but this time the elastic is raised to the level of the knees, and the whole action is repeated. Further, the elastic rises to the level of the belt, back, neck and, finally, arms raised up. Such New Year contests for employees' children can unite all the kids, even if they haven't met before.

Ring

First, the driver is selected - the one who has to look for the ring, and he temporarily leaves the room. The rest of the players line up in a circle: one of them hides a ring, and then everyone folds their hands behind their backs. Then the driver is launched into the center of the circle formed by the players. Further, he tries to understand by eyes who has the ring. Children are too simple-minded and, as a rule, quickly give themselves away with facial expressions or glances. Such contests for children for the New Year at home can be held without fear that something will break or someone gets dirty.

Who is first?

This New Year's fun will require a couple of chairs and winter outfits. The sleeves of winter jackets must be turned inside out, and hung in this form on each chair, and a scarf, hat and gloves must be folded on the seat. The game is divided into several rounds according to the number of pairs of children available. Each pair stands ready near their chair, and as soon as the leader gives a command, both players rush to the chairs. They must quickly turn the jacket into its normal position, put it on, as well as other details of clothing. The first, who has time to put on everything, should sit on a chair and loudly shout "Happy New Year!"

Christmas bags

If you are coming up with new contests for children of 10 years old, do not forget about the competitive component, when the child seeks to do something better or faster than others. This competition is an ideal version of such a game.

All its participants must be divided into pairs, which will compete. The presenter gives each participant a beautifully decorated bag and brings them to the table, on which there are two boxes filled with various objects, including unbreakable Christmas tree figures and toys. After that, both players are blindfolded and, on command, they must begin to blindly collect objects from boxes in their bags from boxes, and only those related to the New Year will be taken into account in the calculation. It is allowed to pick up only one object at a time. While the bags are being filled, music plays, and after about a minute it stops, the players are untied their eyes and offered to compare the contents of their bags. The winner is the one with the most items related to the New Year's holiday.

New Year's suit

New Year's contests for children 10-11 years old can be a little more difficult. This competition will require a large enough sheet of paper, scissors, pins, glue and tape. Participants are given a certain time (for example, 10-15 minutes), during which they must model and make a New Year's costume, and even arrange it to be shown to the public, tell what it is for (for example, it is a fancy dress or evening dress). Viewers vote for their favorite outfit with louder applause. The winner is the fashion designer who drew the loudest applause.

Christmas tree with a surprise

Competitions like this for a New Year's party for children require more thorough and lengthy preparation. Here you need to make a layout of a Christmas tree from cardboard, and cut holes in it, indicating Christmas balls. On the back of the "tree" under each such hole, you can attach a bag. During the matinee, the presenter gives each participant of the competition 5 small balls and explains that they need to get into the holes in the “tree”. The winner will be the one who does it more often than others and will receive a prize that can be hidden among the branches of a real tree.

Surprise balloon

New Year's contests for children 7-12 years old offer such an interesting option: comic New Year's tasks are written on scraps of paper, after which they are put into balloons and inflated. Each participant of the competition receives a ball with a task, which he must burst without touching his hands. Having figured out a way to do this, the player must complete the task found in the ball (sing, dance, and something like that). The winner is the one who manages to make the funniest performance.

Contests for children of all ages

Collect the snow

3-4 teams can participate in this game at the same time. First, you need to prepare a lot of small white balloons that will play the role of snowballs, as well as large garbage bags. At one end, the bags need to be cut so that legs can be inserted into these holes and a kind of wide trousers would turn out. Then, from each competing team, a participant is selected who must put on these "trousers", and the rest of the team, at the sign of the leader, must start collecting snowballs in them. Whoever collects more impromptu snowballs will win.

Decorating the Christmas tree

Many children's contests for the New Year are dedicated to decorating the Christmas tree. For this competition, you need to prepare two small artificial trees, as well as a couple of boxes, in which unbreakable decorations for the tree are folded. There should be a distance of about 2-4 meters between trees and boxes. Then the contestants are divided into two teams, and each takes its starting position next to its box with decorations. The presenter gives the command, and the competitors take turns to decorate their tree. Each player can take only one toy at a time. The winner is the team whose box is empty first.

Snowballs

To hold this competition, you will need plastic buckets and snowballs made of cotton wool, fabric or padding polyester, for beauty and compactness, tightened with a silvery rain. The participants of the competition should be divided into two equal teams and given 2-3 snowballs to each. Place buckets 3-4 meters from the teams. The task of the players is to throw their shells exactly into their bucket. When everyone has shot, you need to check which of the buckets has the most snowballs - that team won.

Christmas tinsel

This game will require bright tinsel and a perky New Year's melody. From the children present, two equal teams are recruited, which line up in a row, and the host of the game gives each of their participants one thread of tinsel. On command, the first player must tie tinsel on his neighbor's hand, and he does the same along the chain. The very last member of the team must run up to the first and also tie his tinsel on his arm. After that, the team captain must raise his hand decorated with tinsel up - whoever does it first, that team won. When preparing this competition, adults need to take into account that some types of tinsel can cause injury, so you need to choose it very carefully.

It's me!

Merry New Year's contests for elementary school children can be supplemented with the following entertainment: an adult must quickly ask questions, and the children must answer them “It's me!”. Naturally, among the usual questions with tricks will come across, and children, by inertia, will answer them “It's me!”. It will be fun after some confessions. Here are some questions.

Who cleaned the kitchen?
Who didn't help mom?

Who planted the flowers?
Who got deuces?
Who helped grandma?

Who was neat?
Thank you?
Have you forgotten your briefcase at home?

Who's picking your nose?
Tidied up after yourself in the woods?
Did you pull the girl by the braid?

Did you clean everything up after yourself?
Who helped the parents?
Who painted on the wallpaper?

Who said hello?
Did you break the glass?

Who walked through the puddles?
Who has dirty ears?

What kind of beast?

When looking for funny New Year's contests for children, you can pay attention to this one. For him you will need a variety of masks depicting animals. The player must close his eyes, after which a mask of a certain animal is put on him. The task of the player himself is to guess at the prompts of those around him who he has now become. He can ask questions about the size of the teeth, the color of the coat, etc., as well as whether it is a domestic or wild animal. But you can only answer him "yes" and "no". Of course, there should be no mirrors in the room, otherwise the secret will quickly be revealed.

Tightrope walkers

Children of different ages can participate in this competition. They need to be divided into 2 equal teams and lined up in two parallel rows, and before the first number of each team, spread a rope on the floor. This competition consists of three stages, the complexity of which is increasing.

The first players should simultaneously begin to walk the tightrope in small steps, trying not to stumble or step on the floor. Having reached the end of the rope, you need to turn around and return to your team, where to pass the baton to the next "tightrope walker".
The next task is to grapple into a small train, taking the front of the team member by the waist, and on the same conditions, only all together, walk the tightrope in one and the other direction.
Walk the tightrope one by one, but only with your back forward.

Teams can be formed from members of the same family, it will be even more fun.

Stadiometer

Such New Year contests for children 7-8 years old will be very funny. In this case, it is necessary to measure the growth of all participants in any elongated objects. It will be interesting for everyone to find out what their growth is in pillows, cucumbers or pencils. You can invent any number of such length standards. Children, having amused themselves, will most likely begin to suggest themselves how they can still be measured, and what should be done. At the end of the "research" you need to draw up a "scientific" document. As a basis, you can take a New Year's card, on which you write in advance: "My height" and then list the units of measurement, and during the competition enter the data obtained there.

Christmas chain

Often the size of the apartments does not allow for noisy games and running around, then adults are forced to look for quieter contests on the theme of the New Year for children. For example this one:

Divide the children present at the holiday into 2 teams and give them sheets of paper, scissors and a glue stick. In a short time (5-7 minutes), the teams must cut the paper into strips, which they glue with rings in a long New Year's chain. Whoever has it longer is the winner.

A participant who cannot name an item is eliminated. The winner is the one for whom the last word remains.

Cap

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

The task of each - from a certain distance to knock down with one blow of the "snow" ball as many "icicles" as possible, which have grown out of the ground. If the children are older, then you can use heavier basketballs, and for preschoolers, regular rubber ones are better suited.

Deputy Santa Claus

More often than not, the host in this competition simply runs out of questions, be prepared.

Choosing a Christmas tree

Santa Claus invites the children to stand in a circle and asks what kind of Christmas trees there are.If they are tall, then all the children raise their hands up, if they are low, they squat and lower their hands, if they are wide, they make the circle as large as possible, and for a narrow Christmas tree, they narrow it down. Now Santa Claus walks and "chooses" a tree. "Oh, how tall!" or "No, this one is too narrow!" And the children, having heard the parameters, represent “the Christmas tree seen by Grandfather. At the same time, Moroz himself is trying to confuse the children by making the wrong movements.

Make Santa Claus laugh

Here the guys will need to use all their imagination. The task is this: to make Santa Claus laugh with all available means, for example, an anecdote, dance, funny song, funny parody, and so on. From whose "trick" Santa Claus laughs louder, he will receive a prize.

Collecting snowballs

Several teams need to be created. Prepare sooo many white balls - these will be snowballs. Take the largest garbage bags, cut off the bottom corners of them, so that the legs fit through. Now one team member gets into this huge bag, and the rest, at the command of the leader, collect "snowballs" and put them in the bag. The team with the most snowballs wins.

New Year's movies are my thing

New Year's is a time to watch family fun winter comedies and fairy tales. Therefore, it's time for the children to remember the names of good movies and share with the rest. For excitement, children can be divided into two teams. As a result, each of the participants takes turns calling their favorite New Year's movie. First, the participant of the first team, then the second, again the first - the second, etc. The participant who does not give an answer is kicked out of the game. The team with more participants left becomes the winner. If children know very little about films, you can give hints to them. After all, there are a lot of such films: "Poor Sasha", "Irony of Fate", "Home Alone" all parts, "Curly Sue" and others. In extreme cases, you can use the names of cartoons.

make a wish

This is a romantic entertainment that will require as many balloons as the number of guests attending the ball. They say that on New Year's Eve all dreams come true. Each invitee is invited to write his most cherished wish on a piece of paper, then these pieces of paper are attached to the thread that ties the ball. And so all the guests of the ball go out onto the street or onto the balcony and, at the command of the presenter, after his fairy spells, release their balls and innermost dreams into the sky. The spectacle is amazing.

New year castle

Several applicants are invited to participate in the competition. They are invited to carefully study the drawing of the New Year's castle. Then everyone is given a set of plastic cups and their eyes are blindfolded. Further, the "builders" of the castle get down to work. Whoever reproduces the drawing faster and more accurately won the competition.

My number

Gifts for children should be wrapped in the same paper and numbered. In the room, in visible places, attach the Christmas tree tokens, on the back of which the number is written. Children are invited to find a Christmas tree for themselves. And when Santa Claus comes with a bag, he will give the children numbered gifts.

Carnival costumes protection

As a rule, children of younger and middle school age gladly put on New Year's costumes. The task of the holiday organizer is to warn everyone in advance that the best costume will be chosen. But in order for your outfit to be among the winners, it must be "protected", in other words, to show your artistic inclinations and enter the role of your hero by performing his song, reading his monologue, etc.

Guess who it is?

For this competition, you need to prepare various pictures (3 pieces for each of the items). And these objects must be guessed by children. For example, the presenter shows 3 pictures: a spider web, slippers, a skyscraper. If you think carefully, the child will guess that this is Spider-Man, or, for example, pictures of a beard, sleigh and gifts, it is clear that this is Santa Claus. Whoever guesses first raises his hand and answers. For the correct answer, the participant receives a point, and whoever has more points will win.

Comic tasks, coupled with bright images and a festive mood, will create a positive background for the holiday. Even an uncomplicated collective game will be exciting if played with a friendly company. Children will be especially pleased with the competitions, the victory in which will bring New Year's gifts.

Tiger tail

Participants line up and take the person in front by the shoulders. The first competitor in the line is the tiger's head. The end of the column is the tail. After the signal, the "tail" seeks to catch up with the "head", which is trying to escape. The "torso" must remain in the hitch. After a while, the children change places.

Cheerful round dance

The usual round dance can be significantly complicated. The presenter sets the tone by constantly changing the direction and speed of the movement. After several circles, lead a round dance with a snake, moving between pieces of furniture and guests.

Journey

Team play involves the use of blindfolds and pins. Place the pins like a snake in front of the participants of the two teams. Team members join hands and cover the distance blindfolded. All pins must remain upright. The team whose members hit fewer pins wins the game.

Magic words

Divide the participants into teams and hand over a set of letters that make up a certain word. Each team member gets only one letter. In the story read by the presenter, words from these letters are encountered. When such a word is pronounced, the players with the corresponding letters come forward and rearrange in the desired order. The team that is ahead of the opponents earns a point.

What changed

Visual memory will help you win the game. Each participant carefully examines the toys hanging on the branches of the Christmas tree for a certain time. After the children leave the room. Several toys are outweighed or new ones are added. When the children return, they need to voice what has changed.

Gift in a circle

Participants stand in a circle face to face. The presenter gives one of the players a gift and turns on the music. After that, the gift moves in a circle. After stopping the music, the transfer of the gift is stopped. The player who has the gift left is eliminated. At the end of the game, there will be one participant who will receive this memento.

If the company is big, you need to include other contests and entertainment in the game program of the holiday. For example, such.

Poetry competition

This is a competition for younger students. Prepare rhyme cards and give out to all guests at the start of the party. Come up with "New Year" rhymes or use the following: years - grandfather, nose - frost, calendar - January, year - coming.

At the end of the holiday, before presenting gifts, everyone reads their poems and receives prizes for the best works.

Santa Claus is coming

First, invite all participants in the game to remember the text:

Santa Claus comes from the forest,

Comes to our holiday.

And we know that Santa Claus

Bringing gifts to us.

After the players repeat the text, suggest the following conditions: you need to gradually replace words with movements and gestures. The first word that is replaced is "we". Instead, everyone points to themselves. With each new performance, there are fewer words, and more gestures.

These are what gestures can be.

"Santa Claus" - show the door. "Holiday" - jump and clap your hands. "Going" - walking on the spot. “We know” - touch your forehead with your index finger. "Gifts" - with a gesture to represent a large bag. Etc. With the last performance, only prepositions and the verb "carries" will remain.

What is hung on the tree

The presenter can come up with his own version:

- The guys and I will play an interesting game: I will tell the kids what they hang on the tree.

The round dance rushes into ...

Children... Dance!

Father Frost: And over this round dance

Talk, songs, ringing laughter ...

Congratulations...

Children. Happy New Year!

Father Frost. With new happiness right away ...

Children. Everyone!

I wanted to have a ball

Daniil Kharms's poem "I wanted to arrange a ball" can be useful for this game. The presenter precedes this fun with such an introduction. "Do you know how to receive guests?" He asks. Children, of course, answer "Yes!" “This is very good,” the host continues. - Unfortunately, some do not know how to do this. It is about such strange people that we will compose a poem with you and the poet Daniil Kharms. I will start, and you have the main role: you will come up with rhymes. "

Leading... I wanted to have a ball

And all the guests to yourself ...

Children. I called!

Leading... I bought flour, I bought cottage cheese,

Loose baked ...

Children. Pie!

Leading. Pie, knives and forks are here

But the guests are not ...

Children... Come on!

Leading. I waited until I had enough strength

Then a piece ...

Children. Bit off!

Leading... Then he pulled up a chair and sat down,

And all the pie in a minute ...

Children... I ate it!

Leading... When the guests arrived

Even crumbs ...

Children. Not found!

This is a guessing game for the little ones, they are happy to show how a bunny jumps, how a clumsy bear walks and how different animals "talk".

Father Frost. In the forest by the tree on New Year's

There is a merry round dance.

Sitting tightly on a bitch,

The rooster cries ...

Children. Ku-ka-re-ku!

Father Frost. And every time in response to him

A cow hums ...

Children... Moo, moo, moo!

Father Frost. I wanted to say "bravo" to the singers, but only the cat did it ...

Children... Meow!

Grandfather Freezing. You can't make out the words, the frogs say ...

Children. Kva-kva-kva!

Father Frost... And something whispers to a bullfinch

Funny pig ...

Children... Oink oink oink!

Father Frost... And smiling to himself

The goat sang ...

Children. Be-be-be!

Father Frost... Who's that bitch? The cuckoo called out ...

Children... Ku-ku!

At the zoo saw

This is a musical game where Santa Claus sings, and the children answer:

- A huge hippopotamus is sleeping behind the bars at the gate.

- Here is an elephant, a quiet sleep, guarded by an old elephant.

- We saw it, we saw it, we saw it at the zoo!

- The black-eyed marten is a wonderful bird!

- An angry, contemptuous gray wolf clicked on the guys with his teeth!

- We saw it, we saw it, we saw it at the zoo!

- Suddenly penguins flew higher than spruce and aspen.

- You are confusing, you are confusing, Grandpa, you are confusing!

- Ponies - little horses, how funny ponies are!

- We saw it, we saw it, we saw it at the zoo!

- The insatiable beast jackal walked from wall to wall.

- We saw it, we saw it, we saw it at the zoo!

- And the green crocodile walked importantly across the field.

- You are confusing, you are confusing, Grandpa, you are confusing!

Children must answer correctly, without losing rhythm.

New Year's game "Answer the other way around"

This game is played at the end of the New Years holiday. The facilitator walks in a circle and asks questions. The one to whom he asks them can answer them, and all the guys should help in chorus. Gradually (this is the responsibility of the leader) more and more children are responding. And the whole audience should already say the word "End".

I'll say the word "high"

And you answer - "low".

I'll say the word "far"

And you answer - "close."

I'll tell you the word "well-fed"

You will answer - "hungry".

I'll tell you "hot"

You will answer - "cold".

I'll tell you the word "lie down"

You will answer me - "get up."

Then I will tell you "father"

You will answer me - "mother".

I'll tell you the word "dirty"

You will answer me - "clean".

I'll tell you "slow" to you

You will answer me - "fast".

I'll tell you the word "coward"

You will answer - "brave".

Now I will say "the beginning"

You answer - "the end."

Snowball

Distribution of gifts is the most pleasant and long-awaited moment on the New Year's holiday. He is always accompanied by some kind of attraction or game. The proposed game is suitable for a few home and uncrowded "family" holidays. The redemption of New Year's prizes from Santa Claus's bag is arranged as follows: adults and children pass a specially prepared "snowball" - made of cotton wool or white cloth, in a circle. It's good for Grandfather Frost to have one in his bag. "Lump" is transmitted, Santa Claus says:

We all ride a snowball

Until "five" we all count -

One, two, three, four, five -

For you to sing a song.

Dance for you.

Ask you a riddle ...

The person who bought the prize leaves the circle and the game continues.

Fabulous nonsense

Children really like it when Grandpa confuses something. For example, how animals "talk". The guys "teach" Santa Claus and correct him. On the same principle, fun was invented, in which the "dark" Baba Yaga or someone from her entourage confused the names of all the fairy-tale heroes. For instance:

Goblin(Baba Yaga). Here, old one, yesterday I was walking through the forest, and towards me - this green crocodile with his Burachehka!

Baba Yaga... Not Buracheshka, you stupid fool, but Burchekashka!

Goblin. No, Buracheshkoy!

Yaga... Burchekashkoy!

Goblin. And here we ask the guys, Buracheshka or Burchekashka?

Children. Cheburashka!

Goblin. So I say, Cheburashka! So they are walking and asking me if I have seen this, Ti-no-bu-ra.

Yaga. What a dolt! You are a fool, Goblin! Remember, not Tinoburo, but Robutino!

Goblin. So guys?

Children. Pinocchio!

Goblin. In, Buratino!

Yaga. Why do they need Pinocchio?

Goblin... So I ask why? And they say to me: “Today is going to be a great holiday. Everyone will gather there: Duychomovka and Saloruchka "...

Yaga. Who-who?

Goblin... Dyuychomovka, Saloruchka ... So, children?

Children... No not like this.

Goblin... But as?

Children. Thumbelina, Little Mermaid!

Goblin. In, in, and to them will come this Grandfather this Romoz with his Sgunerochka!

Children. Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden!

Such an approximate scene can be present in the New Year's scenario, or the host for the holiday can prepare a funny story. The older the children are, the more incomprehensible and funnier names can be altered. If there are not many guys, then you can even identify an expert on the names of fairy-tale heroes and give him a prize.

On a visit to Grandfather Frost

This is a game for toddlers. Santa Claus invites children to go to his forest hut. When the guys get up behind Grandpa "the train", he leads them, pronouncing and showing the different movements that the children should perform.

We joined hands together,

How the horses galloped.

(Grandpa shows how horses gallop, raising their knees high, and the children repeat.)

We gallop one after another -

We are not afraid of the cold!

And now we are like bears

We went along the path.

(The grandfather walks slowly, waddling from foot to foot, the children repeat.)

We waddle

And we don't get tired at all -

Like perky bunnies

Both girls and boys!

(Everyone is jumping like bunnies.)

They jump, pranksters,

Have a fun holiday!

- Here we are! - announces the Grandfather. - Dance, have fun with all the heart!

(Cheerful music sounds, children jump, dance.)

Santa Claus puts the kids in a round dance, himself in the middle. Singing and showing children movements:
