On New Year's Eve, even adults become children and are not averse to fooling around
and have some fun. We bring to your attention the top 15 best New Year's fun.

1. "Creative competition»

In a hat, notes with words on the New Year theme are passed around in a circle. For example, snow, Santa Claus, Christmas tree, snowman, etc. Each participant must sing a song or recite a poem in which the word from his note occurs.

2. « Who quickly? »

The host puts a prize under the tree. Two players put on boots, the larger the better. On a signal, the participants run around the Christmas tree from different sides. Who is faster, that and the prize.

3. « Prize to the touch »

Blindfolded, wearing warm mittens, you need to determine the object by touch. The guessed item goes to the participant as a prize.

4. « find candy »

A bowl of flour is placed in front of the participant. The condition is to get the candy “buried” in flour without the help of hands.

5. « Get an apple »

The competition is similar to the previous one. Only instead of flour and candy - water and an apple.

6. « collect snowballs »

The host lays out “snowballs” on the floor - lumps of white paper or cotton wool. Participants are blindfolded and given a basket. On a signal, they begin to collect "snowballs". The one who collects the most wins.

7. « Who has more? »

In a minute, you need to put on as many things prepared in advance as possible. Who put on the most - he won

8. « fly fly »

The leader throws up a “snowflake” made of cotton wool. The task of the participants is to blow on the snowflake so that it does not fall. The winner is the one who manages to keep the snowflake in the air the longest.

9. « pioneers »

Each player is given a balloon and a marker and offered to discover a new planet. To do this, for a certain time you need to inflate your balloon and draw "inhabitants" on it. Whoever has the most inhabitants wins.

10. « Take it away »

There are two people in the competition. A chair is placed between them. They put a prize on it, for example, a chocolate bar. Whoever quickly, at the gesture of the presenter, puts his hand on the prize, he gets it.

11. « Pop the balloon »

A ball is placed in front of each player and his eyes are tied. Task: pop the balloon with your foot. For adults, the task can be "complicated" - remove the balls.

12. « Mask »

The facilitator puts on a mask for the participant so that he does not see it. The player tries to guess whose mask it is with the help of various questions. You can only answer: yes and no. The one who guesses correctly gets a mask as a gift.

13. « Who is extra? »

Six snowflakes are laid out in a circle on the floor. Seven players run around them to the music. As soon as the music stops, each participant must take a snowflake. The one who turned out to be superfluous is out. The game is repeated until there is only one winner.

14. « Winders »

A prize is tied in the middle of the length of the rope, and pencils are tied to the ends.

On command, the players begin to wind the rope around the pencils. Whoever reaches the prize first wins it.

15. « Transfers»

Another competition for speed and agility. Each player has two glasses - empty and full. The task of the participants is to pour water from one container to another using a straw.

When at a family holiday the table already ceases to arouse keen interest among the guests and owners of the house, philosophical themes usually come into play and global political disputes are started, but at the same time someone usually yawns desperately and squints at horizontal planes, or even at all - at Door.

Well, it means that it's time to move on to an active celebration program and diligently involve all those present in fun games. Choose those that will be appropriate today, now, in this company.

Better yet, entrust the organization of entertainment to children. They are able not only to help mom set the table, but also to become real "stars" of a family holiday. The main thing is to help them believe in themselves. Who knows, maybe for someone this will be the beginning of a truly stellar career?

One-two

This game is especially good for a male company - and it is appropriate for adults, serious men, and for fun kids. Two teams are playing. The one that completes the leader's task first wins. The host announces the topic, for example: “By height”, the participants of each team must line up in height (either from the smallest or from the largest, by agreement). Followed by: eye color; the floor on which we live; the number of letters in the names; age; foot size, etc. How much imagination the leader has.

ships

From walnut shells or plain paper, you need to make boats and glue triangular sails to them. We let the ships float in the plate. We blow them in different directions. You can hold a competition for the most beautiful, fastest, and even the most unsinkable ship.

"Formula 1"

Such a game is especially appropriate in the company of male drivers. But no less recklessly play it and the kids. After all, car racing is really interesting!

The players sit around a table, a fire, or simply sit in a circle on the floor. The goal is to become the best Formula 1 driver. To do this, all you need is to remember two simple commands:

1) Vroom-m (the sound of a speeding car).

2) And-and-and-and (the sound of brakes, like a squeak).

To start the car in a circle, say clockwise, the player turns to the neighbor on the left and says: "Vroom-m." The one to whom the car “arrived” can:

2) Turn it in the face of the “sender” and say “i-i-i-i”.

Now the "sender" must "go" to the right. The one who is out of the game is:

1) “Passing” the car, he will turn to his neighbor and say not “vroom”, but “i-i-i-i”.

2) “Braking” the car, instead of “and-and-and-and” in the face of the “sent” “vroom-m”.

Enough "driving", you can enter a time limit for the answer. As a result, the remaining "in the game" 2-3 drivers are appointed "Schumachers" and sprinkled with something "suitable" from drinks, at their discretion (as you know, champagne is used in real races).

Auction for ladies

The host sets a certain female theme (for example, “flowers”, “cosmetic companies”, “elements of clothing”, “jewelry”). The task of the participants is to name in random order the words related to this topic. The participant who gives the last word receives a bonus point.

Women's logic

The facilitator names several items. Participants must name an item that is not on the list and explain their decision. For each correct answer, the participant receives a bonus point. Examples of tasks "What is superfluous?":

Hair coloring with henna, basma or hair dye. (Coloring with paint, since henna and basma are natural dyes)

Vanilla croutons, breadcrumbs, raisin croutons. (Breadcrumbs, as they are not a ready-to-eat product)

Viscose, cotton, polyester. (Polyester, since viscose and cotton are natural materials)

Eau de toilette, lotion, perfume. (An extra lotion, since it is used for hygiene purposes, and eau de toilette and perfume are used as perfumes)

Basting, machine stitching, overlock. (Batting, since it is done by hand, the rest is done on a sewing machine)

Non-standard situations

The facilitator offers each participant a difficult situation from which he must find an original way out. Participants with the most interesting answers receive a reward point. For example:

You have been preparing for the party for a long time, you have specially bought an elegant dress to impress everyone. However, when you arrived, the outfit of the hostess of the house turned out to be like two drops of water similar to yours. What to do?

You are waiting for the arrival of your husband's parents. To impress, you decide to cook something special. However, nothing works out for you: - you oversalt the soup, the roast burns, and the pie looks like a sole. You do not have time to fix anything, because the guests are already ringing the doorbell. What to do?

Before an important date, you went to the hairdresser. As a result of a terrible mistake, you dyed your hair green. Goodbye is one hour away. What to do?

You came to the holiday in a knitted dress. You are talking to a respectable guest and suddenly notice that someone has caught a jacket button on the thread of your dress, and the further he moves away, the more it unravels. And the conversation isn't over yet. What to do?

The participant with the most points wins a prize.

laughter

Plays any number of participants. All participants in the game sit at the table, if it is a free area, form a large circle. In the center - the driver with a handkerchief in his hands. He throws the handkerchief up as he flies, everyone laughs out loud, as soon as the handkerchief is on the table or on the ground, everyone calms down. As a rule, at the moment when the handkerchief touched the ground, the “very laughter” begins, but the “fant” is taken from the most laughable. A phantom can be a dance performed, a song told, a joke told, or a playful "task".

Mop

This game requires 1 more men than women. The players line up opposite each other. When the melody sounds, the men “grab” the ladies, and the “extra” ... dances with a mop! It's pretty fun to watch the loser gently hug the mop. eighteen

Shoe for Cinderella

Guests are divided into two teams. In each, a captain is chosen, and both must leave the room for a while. Teams sit opposite each other, take off one shoe or boot and throw it in the center on one pile; you can also put “extra” shoes in a pile - use the stocks stored in the closet. The task of the captain is to put on shoes for his team as quickly as possible. The first team to wear the shoes wins.

"Pygmalion"

For this competition, it is better to divide into teams: "boys" and "girls", regardless of the age of the participants.

From balloons of various sizes and shapes, “boys” need to fashion a female figure with adhesive tape, and “girls” need to mold a sculpture of an “ideal” man.

Some of the balloons may already be inflated. In addition, you need to stock up on a sufficient number of uninflated balls and threads. It is interesting to use balloons of various sizes and shapes for this game.

Flower

The game involves couples (man and woman). In addition, a bottle (glass or plastic) and a flower (real or artificial) are required for each pair.

Women hold bottles under their arms, and men take flowers in their teeth. The task of each pair is to put the flower into the bottle as quickly as possible without the help of hands.

The pair that completes the task faster than the others wins a prize.

Like Aunt Irina

Those who play according to the counting rhyme choose "Aunt Irina", who goes to the center of the round dance. The round dance joins hands, walks in a circle and sings:

Like Aunt Irina

There were seven children

They didn't drink, they didn't eat,

Everyone looked at the aunt

Together they did this.

Aunt Irina portrays all sorts of grimaces, stands in unthinkable poses (squats on one leg, presses her knee to her chin, etc.). All players must accurately repeat her gestures and grimaces. Whoever makes a mistake, inaccurately repeats the aunt's pose, will replace it in the center of the circle and will show the players what to do.

Lambada

The game is very good in a large children's or youth company, but it is quite applicable in a closer, but no less friendly circle. So, everyone stands in a circle, in the back of the head one after another. At the leader’s command, everyone takes the waist of the person in front, and together they make “hip movements” left-right-back-forward. Better, of course, play the game to the music! Further, the task becomes more difficult. The leader asks to take the waist in front of the person standing through one! Then, as you may have guessed, “hip movements” are repeated left-right-back-forward. Then the task becomes more difficult again, now it is proposed to take the waist of the one standing two people ahead! Naturally, the movements of the hips ... The game is played until "enough hands". At the end of the game, as a rule, everyone merrily “falls” to the floor!

beads

Participates in the game "male" half of the company. An honorable task - to make jewelry for the woman you love!

Pasta or clothespins (and if there are, then shells, large wooden or plastic beads) are very convenient to string on shoelaces with hard tips. And how fun it is to present the best decoration to its happy owner! At the same time, a small photo session will not hurt - there will be something to remember later!

Hands on the table!

Those who wish to participate in the game sit close to each other on one side of the table. They receive some small object (coin, button, nut), put their hands under the table and begin to quietly pass this object from hand to hand. The driver sits on the other side of the table. Having seized the moment, he suddenly commands: "Hands on the table!" Everyone should immediately put their hands on the table, palms down. In order not to betray the one who holds the coin (by holding it between the fingers), the other players also hold their palms in a “boat”, tightly squeezing their fingers. And yet, the driver can guess who has the coin and in what hand (by the accidental knock of the coin on the table, by too tense and slow movements, etc.). At the request of the driver, the player must show this hand. If the driver guessed correctly, this player replaces the driver. If you didn't guess correctly, the game is repeated. The main rule: whoever drops or throws out the transmitted object at a dangerous moment, he becomes the driver.

"Football" fluff

Two teams sit on opposite sides of the table. The table is divided in half - as a rule, there is a middle line on folding tables. If it is not there, then the line can be marked with chalk on the tablecloth or with a thread (to stretch it, tie its ends under the table).

A “ball” is placed on this middle line - a bird's feather (a light lump of wool, cotton wool, foam rubber is also quite suitable). The players of both teams simultaneously begin to blow on the "ball", trying to blow it off the table to half of the "opponent". The team that succeeded "scores a goal" against the "opponent".

The game again starts from the middle line and continues until the agreed number of "goals".

Inventory

The facilitator scatters 20-25 pieces of various small items prepared in advance on the table: nuts, badges, pencils, coins, pins, etc. Everyone looks at them carefully for one minute, and then the facilitator covers all this property with a newspaper. Now all the players take turns calling one of the items, without repeating what has already been named. Who could not do it in 5 seconds, he is out of the game. The last one not eliminated is the winner. It is desirable for the facilitator to have an alphabetical list of items and mark those that have already been named.

What changed?

For those who want to test their powers of observation and memory, ask them to carefully look at those sitting, then go out for 1-2 minutes. When inviting the driver to enter again, those remaining in the room must keep everything as before, except for 5-7 changes, which everyone will agree on. For example, you can rearrange a vase on a table, two people sitting swap places, maintaining their previous positions, you can slightly change someone's hairstyle, remove a badge, etc. The driver, returning to the room, tries to detect as many changes as possible. Then the one whose change was noticed before the others goes to drive.

The game of charades

A charade is a riddle in which the hidden word must be guessed in parts, and each part is itself a whole word, for example: trace - experience, steam - mustache. The game of charades can be simplified a little: parts of the word are already given, and you need to add a whole word from them. Write in advance on the sheets the words that make up the charades: trace, steam, experience, mustache, pass, port, floor, sack, wasp, tour, hay, gas, shaft, spruce, dock, yar, fret, brand, mouse, weight, yak, point. Put the sheets with these words on the table in no particular order. Let each take the two words that will make up the charade. Whoever gets the most charade words is the winner.

five points

Children are especially good at this game. Fold a stack of identical sheets of paper and pierce them through with a needle in five places. Each participant in the game receives a piece of paper and marks punctures on it with dots. Then he makes a drawing - any, but so that the line of the drawing passes without interruption through five points. This competition is not only in the ability to draw, but also in ingenuity, richness of imagination.

Repeat and add

They agree to name words on a specific topic - for example, the names of games. The first player calls: hockey. The second repeats: hockey - and adds: checkers. The third one already says three words: hockey, checkers, charades. Finally, someone will not be able to repeat, without error, the whole series of words (hockey - checkers - charades - crossword puzzle - tags - rounders - badminton - the third extra - blind man's bluff ...). That player is out and the next player in line tries again. The winner is the one who said the longest series of words. It is desirable for the organizer of the game to keep a record of the called words in order in a column and to monitor the observance of the word order when repeating. Another good thing about this game is that it helps you collectively remember a lot of good games. Some of them can be played right there.

fish, animal, bird

The players sit on the sides of the room. Choose a driver. He walks past them, repeating three words: "Fish, beast, bird..." Suddenly stopping in front of someone, he says loudly one of these words, for example, "bird." The player must immediately name some bird, for example "hawk". You can not hesitate and name those animals, fish or birds that have already been named before. The one who gapes or answers incorrectly pays a forfeit, and then “redeems” him - reads poetry, sings, etc.

Prize with a secret

For this game you will need a large box, postcards according to the number of participants in the game, prizes for each participant. Cut each card in half. On the back of one of the halves, write the name of the prize, and on the other half, write the tasks. Tasks can be as follows:

Sing a song

Tell a poem

Ask an interesting question

Tell a funny story

Make a riddle

Make a wish

Sing a duet with someone

Say a phrase, an aphorism for reflection

If you have many participants in the game, you can write the same tasks twice or come up with different ones. Put the halves of the cards with the task in a box, and put the halves of the cards with the name of the prizes in prominent places in the room where the game is being held. Invite everyone present to take the halves of the card with the task from the box and, in turn, complete what is written on the card. After completing the task, the player looks in the room for the other half of his postcard, where the name of the prize he deserves is written. When the half is found and the halves of the card match, the host must give this player the prize indicated on the card.

Quack quack!

Everyone sits in a circle on chairs or just on the floor. The man who is blindfolded sits in the middle, he has a pillow in his hands .. After he is blindfolded, everyone changes places and observes silence. The driver tries to feel someone's knees with a pillow, then puts a pillow on these knees and says: "Quack-quack!" The player who has a pillow on his knees must also answer him (it is allowed to change the voice). The driver must identify the player by the voice and give his name. He gets 3 tries. If the driver guessed right, they change places.

History from the cap

Everyone writes on separate pieces of paper, each one word of their choice. The leaves are collected and mixed in a hat. Then everyone takes one piece of paper from the hat and reads it to themselves. The essence of the game: tell a coherent story using the words from the cap. The first player starts with the word: “Once upon a time...” and comes up with a sentence with the word he pulled out. The second one continues and so on. The stories are very funny and then remembered more than once!

Musical instruments

Divide everyone into several teams of 2-3 people. Each team receives a sheet with the name of a musical instrument and must depict the game on it, supplementing it with sounds and movements. The group is given one minute to prepare. Then, one by one, the groups introduce themselves, and the rest guess the instruments.

Give each of the two interlocutors 10 nuts, a topic for conversation and say that they should communicate in pairs, talking and asking questions on the topic, but without saying the word "I". When one of the couple utters the word "I", his interlocutor takes one nut. The one with the most nuts after 5 minutes is the winner.

Masterpiece

You will need pencils, crayons, sticky tape and a large sheet of paper. Give each team a set of pencils. At different ends of the room, attach a sheet of paper to the tables or to the wall so that the rivals do not see. Each player receives only one part of the task (description of the picture). Everyone chooses a place for themselves on a piece of paper, and everyone starts drawing at the same time.

For example:

1. Man in blue pants...

2. ...crying a lot...

3. ...a striped toy in your hand...

4. ...cries a lot...

5. ... on the street under the maple ...

1. A baby in a stroller...

2. ...holding a bottle of juice...

3. ...drinks Coca-Cola...

4. ... reads a book ...

5. ...in the raging sea...

Dogs and roosters

The players sit in a circle. The driver gives each the name of the city. Then he says: "I heard that in the city ... dogs crow and roosters bark." The player whose city has been named replies: “No, sir, in the city ... dogs do not crow and roosters do not bark. The city where the dogs crow and the roosters bark is called... The player whose city was named responds in the same way. If someone does not answer immediately or gets confused, he gives a deposit. When a lot of pledges are collected, they are redeemed by completing the tasks of the leader.

Mines

Blindfolded, you need to reach the designated place without hitting the placed objects (shoes, watches, dishes, etc.). If you want to cheer up the participants, for the second or third time, when everyone has already seen what kind of objects are on the floor, ask someone to take off the clock and put it down as well. Then blindfold the participants and replace the clock with... eggshells, positioned so that they are more likely to be stepped on. It is difficult to convey the feelings of a person who knows that there is a clock on the playing field and hears a crunch under his own foot...

jumpers

Take a large empty egg carton. On the bottom of each hole, write the numbers from 1 to 30. Place the target card on the floor. Divide the players into 2 teams. Draw a line one and a half to two meters from the target and give each team 4-5 balls. The goal is to hit the cells and score as many points as possible, but the ball must hit the floor once before hitting the target.

A holiday in the family circle can be organized in different ways. It doesn't have to be a boring event where the adults interact and the kids play on their own. Family competitions will help create a festive atmosphere, as well as unite people of different generations. Get inspired by the article and organize a holiday fun.

Memory Competition

What do relatives do when they gather at the table? That's right, they remember interesting events from life. You can make this process more interesting if you transform it into a family competition. How to carry it out? Each of the guests in turn should talk about an interesting event that happened to family members. You can set boundaries and remember funny moments from the past year. You may or may not do this. Then the competition will be delayed, but it will be more interesting. Everyone remembers something good. When one of those present cannot remember anything, he is eliminated. The person with the best memory wins.

"Guess the melody"

This fun game can easily be turned into a family competition. Songs should be prepared in advance. If there are children in the family, then you can download soundtracks from cartoons. Or you can mix it all together: popular songs, children's songs, movie songs, etc. At the request of the presenter, he can either include only the introduction, or find melodies without words. The family should be divided into teams. Moreover, it is desirable that the participants be of different ages. The team that guesses the most songs wins. Although the host may deliberately arrange a draw, pulling up the losers. How to play - honestly or not, everyone decides for himself.

"Who knows more poetry"

Family poetry contests help parents remember their childhood. Indeed, in this game, it is often not the oldest, but the youngest member of the team that wins. But of course, there are exceptions. Today you can find not so many people who sincerely love poetry. Yet such individuals exist. And they rarely manage to show off their knowledge. So it's worth giving them a chance. The competition can be held in different ways. The family can be divided into two teams, or each person will play for himself. Everyone takes turns reading the verse from memory. The winner is the one who has more poetry in his arsenal. Often it is children who win in such competitions.

Pantomime Competition

It is difficult to find a person who has never played Crocodile. This popular game can be turned into a family competition. On a birthday or on the 8th of March - pantomimes are always popular. And both in adults and in children. How to run a contest? Participants of the table event are divided into two teams. In turn, each person must show the hidden concept, without using words and without pointing to objects. One team guesses the words, and the other guesses. Then the roles change. The team that can better understand the pantomime explanations of their relatives wins.

"Who am I?"

Family competitions for the New Year are different. You can, for example, play the game "Who am I?". Its rules are very simple. You will need stickers for this. Each of those present writes the name of some famous person on a piece of paper. It can be an actor, the hero of a movie or cartoon. Then, clockwise, each relative hangs a piece of paper written by him on the forehead of his neighbor. It is necessary to give a few minutes to the participants so that they can familiarize themselves with the inscriptions of all those present. And now everyone takes turns asking a question that can be answered "yes" or "no". For example: Am I a cartoon character? If a person receives a positive answer, he has the right to ask another question. If he does not guess correctly, then the turn passes to his neighbor. The person who guesses their character's name the fastest wins.

"Cities"

New Year's family competitions can be held on the principle of intellectual olympiads. Their goal is not only to entertain guests, but also to improve the knowledge of children. For example, in the field of geography. For these purposes, the game in the cities is perfect. Her rules are pretty simple. One of the participants names any city, for example Yekaterinburg. Now the next player needs to come up with a city with the letter "g". He says: "Goose-Crystal". Well, and so on. The player who cannot come up with a city for the letter that has fallen out to him is out. The winner is the person whose knowledge of geography is the most extensive. Most often these are those people who often go on business trips.

"Contact"

Family contests and games can be a lot of fun if relatives spend a lot of time together. After all, in this case, they have a lot of common memories. And in the game "Contact" it will come in handy. What are her rules? One of the players becomes the leader and thinks of any word. For example, the hippopotamus. The task of the other players is to guess the hidden word. But they don't have to do it by selection. The essence of the game is as follows. The host announces the first letter of the hidden word. One of the players comes up with his own concept with the letter "g". For example, stylus. He explains to his team: if you eat this, the temperature will rise. If one of the relatives understood what was at stake, he says: "Contact." From this time, 30 seconds are counted, during which the presenter must understand what the word is. If he does not guess correctly, then after the time has elapsed, the players simultaneously say: "Slate lead". Now the leader must say the second letter of his word. It turns out the syllable "gi". And it is for him that you need to come up with the next word for one of the players and explain it as incomprehensibly as possible. The team wins when the leader's cryptic concept is guessed.

"To the touch"

Interesting family New Year's games and contests can be arranged from long-forgotten entertainment. For example, guessing objects by touch. To do this, one of the guests should blindfold with a dark, non-translucent scarf or scarf. In order to complicate the task, large fur gloves should be put on the hands. And now you can start the competition. A variety of items should be given to the participant. It can be an apple, coconut, flour or buckwheat. The player must identify familiar objects by touch. At the same time, you can’t intentionally sniff anything. Of course, if you pour coffee into your mittens, it immediately becomes clear what it is. So it's best to avoid anything that has a strong flavor. You need to count how many items the player guesses, and then blindfold the second participant and repeat the contest. The one who guesses more often wins.

"Get an Apple"

More than one generation of children have fun with this competition. After all, it does not require long preparation, and all the necessary details are always at home. Family games and competitions for the New Year can be held with a large number of participants. A deep bowl of water is placed in front of each person. A small apple is immersed in it. The participant's task is to remove the fruit from the water without using their hands. Competition can be upgraded. For example, change water for flour or powdered sugar. In this case, the apple should be replaced with candy, a piece of chocolate or an orange slice.

"Transfusions"

This is a very fun family competition will be as follows. Water or juice is poured into one glass and a tube is inserted. The other glass is empty. All participants sit at the table and, at the sign of the host, must pour the liquid from one container to another. At the same time, it is good if the glasses are used the same and the initial water level is fixed. This should be done to ensure that participants do not cheat or drink during the transfusion. You can complicate the competition and prohibit players from using their hands. Well, an option for the advanced is to pour the liquid blindfolded. Adults can improve this game by pouring something alcoholic into glasses instead of juice.

Selfie Contest

Modern technologies today are used by everyone: from small to large. Therefore, it is not surprising that modern holidays can be arranged using phones. Something interesting to come up with. For example, arrange a selfie contest. The facilitator must come up with fun tasks in advance. If the competition is held on New Year's Eve, then the photos must correspond to the event. For example, tasks may sound like this: take a selfie with the president, with Olivier, or with an opening bottle of champagne. If the solemn occasion for which the guests gathered at the table is a birthday, then this event must be reflected in the photographs. For example, you can ask guests to take a selfie with a birthday person, with a birthday cake, or with the oldest family member. The competition may take place as follows. The facilitator announces the task and counts 30 seconds. Who manages to take a selfie during this time goes to the next stage, the rest are eliminated. The winner is the one who can do all the tasks voiced by the leader.

"Don't Clap for Wednesday"

An interesting family competition at the table can be held without props at all. This game is called Don't Clap Wednesday. What are the conditions? The leader in a chaotic manner announces the days of the week and claps on each of them. At this time, the players should listen carefully. If the announced day of the week is Monday, Friday, in general, any other than Wednesday, you need to clap. The leader's task is to confuse the participants. The one who will clap on the word "Wednesday" flies out. The most attentive participant who can control his thoughts and actions wins.

"Eat an Apple"

This competition is known to everyone since childhood. To carry it out, you need an apple and a thread. The fruit should be tied to a rope half a meter long. Now two guests stand on chairs and take one end of the rope. Two other participants stand next to each other. Thus, there are two commands. If there are many guests, then you can pair them up and invite them to take part too. In general, one of the players hangs an apple at the level of the mouth of his opponent, who is standing below. Now the team's task is to eat the apple as quickly as possible. The participant who is standing below has no right to use his hands. The person on top should direct the apple so that it is convenient to bite off the fruit.

Fanta

This very simple and interesting game is easy to upgrade into a contest. You can prepare for it in advance, or you can improvise during the holiday.
