What kind of fun would it be without New Year's games, competitions, fairy tales with dressing up and funny entertainment!? Moreover, everyone wants to move around a little and have some fun after the traditionally generous New Year's table with all sorts of goodies and drinks!

On holiday entertainment program it is recommended to include various comic fortune telling and predictions, but, most importantly, do not forget to choose games and competitions that are suitable for the gathered company; this will largely depend on festive mood all guests.

Offered here New Year's games and competitions at the very different taste: creative, funny, lively and moderately spicy . This funny Games for cheerful people, some of them will come in handy at corporate parties, others are more suitable for home parties and a close group of friends. Think about which ones you need, and play New Year's Eve with fun and pleasure!

1. New Year's game "Santa Claus is coming.."

This entertainment can be carried out immediately before the appearance of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden and involve all the guests in it, for example, during a dance break. The host invites the guests to stand so as not to disturb each other and call Santa Claus in an unusual way: not screaming, but unusual New Year's dance. The point of the game is as follows: you need to replace the words of the New Year's poem with sign language.

Santa Claus is coming, coming to us,

Santa Claus is coming to us!

And we know that Santa Claus

He brings us gifts! Hooray!

All words are replaced with gestures: “coming” - walking in place, “Santa Claus” - placing a hand with outstretched fingers to the chin (representing a beard), the combination “to us” - with a gesture pointing to oneself. To show the word “we know” we put a finger to the forehead, the word “we” is a gesture pointing to all the guests, the word “carries” is like a bag over the shoulders, and with the word “gifts” - everyone depicts what they dream of. "Hooray!" - everyone is stomping and clapping

For greater interest, it is better to change words to gestures gradually: first one word, then two, until it disappears the last word, and all that remains are gestures accompanied by cheerful musical accompaniment.

And when they start clapping (meaning “hurray”), Father Frost and the Snow Maiden appear, handing out gifts to the “artists” (if any are provided) or starting their program.

2. New Year's competition "Race for Fortune"

The role of “luck” in this competition will be played by durable, unbreakable Christmas decorations, for example, large and colorful balls. Another piece of equipment you will need is children's plastic mini hockey sticks (or Chinese back scratchers), one for each player (3-4 people are enough).

At the start, participants have children’s clubs (or back scratchers) tied to their belts, and the finish line is marked with chairs for each. The chairs will also serve as gates into which players must drive their “ball of luck.” This can only be done with the help of clubs, and in no case should you help with your hands.

Naturally, the one who scores a goal faster wins - he will “drive luck” into his own goal. He is given a good luck talisman (a Christmas tree decoration), he is declared “lucky of the year” - everyone else, including those sitting in the hall, is invited to urgently touch the one who just caught luck, so that they too will be lucky.

3. "Be my Christmas tree!"

First, participants in this competition cut out a Christmas tree toy from colored cardboard. Then, using the resulting clothespin or paperclip, they must hang the “created miracle” on the Christmas tree, but... blindfolded. The most insidious thing about the rules of this game is that the participants, having been “deprived” of their sight, are spun around their axis and then asked to walk to the Christmas tree. In this case, the Christmas tree for everyone will be the first thing they bump into - that’s where they should hang their toy.

Usually, rarely does anyone get to a real Christmas tree, so the main prize is given to the one who stumbles upon the best one and can even hang his work on it.

4. Competition for New Year's holiday"The most resourceful Snow Maiden."

To participate in this competitive game, we form five pairs (boy-girl). The girls are blindfolded, and about ten Christmas tree decorations are hidden in the clothes of the men. Jewelry can be hidden in pockets, socks, in a bosom, hung on a tie, attached to a lapel, and so on. The main thing is to try not to use anything breakable, piercing or cutting in this game.

The task of the “Snow Maiden” girls is to discover everything hidden on their partner’s body. Naturally, the girl who discovers the most toys in the allotted period of time wins and receives the title “The Most Resourceful Snow Maiden”.

5. New Year's greetings for the boss.

This is a party competition. The presenter will need to call five to seven people, preferably both men and women. The presenter asks such an innocent question: which animal, bird or flower (if the boss is a lady) does each of you associate your boss with?

Then everyone comes out, names their association and depicts it, on the command freeze - it becomes a sculpture, the next one comes out - everything is repeated - a whole picture is obtained. Depending on the content of this picture, the toastmaster announces that the employees have decided not to waste time on trifles and give the boss an instant painting by Repin “We Didn’t Expect” or a painting by an unknown author “The Morning After the Corporate Party.”

Perhaps it will be more fun if we limit the associations only to the animal world and then imagine it as a painting by an unknown author, “Animals at a Banquet.”

Everyone gets a chance to join the art and have fun, and the “native” authorities will melt from the attention shown to him personally.

6. “Naughty” signs.

At the beginning of the rally, six players are shown six signs on which green herringbone, champagne bottle, roll toilet paper, chair, packaging New Year's napkins And beautiful box with a bow - a gift. Then the players sit with their backs to the hall, and it is announced to them that one of the shown signs is attached to their chairs in random order, they make a guess at random which one and, in accordance with their guess, answer the questions:

• What do you think happens to you when you are first brought into a home?
• What do you think guests do when they pick you up?
• How often does the owner use you?
• Where do you go after use?
• What can replace you if you really need it?
• What material do you think they are made of?

There are no losers or winners in this prank game, but everyone deserves applause.

7. Game moment"Road to the New Year"

(Thanks to the author - Adekova T.I.)

The text is read by the Presenter. The guests line up and step at the appropriate moment.

Leading. The road to the New Year awaits you,
And he will walk along it all year,
Whoever takes what they need.
We're heading out in droves for the New Year...
Did you take everything with you on the journey?
Since health has been taken,
Take a wider step forward!
Are we in the mood?
Let's take a step together!
We take on problems... Well, alas...
You must not step forward!
And who decided to take it anyway?
You'll have to return it back!
We'll grab the money, because they
We must influence our lives.
And how many pockets can you count?
You'll walk so many steps!
Who's behind? Friends will help you
Have...another pocket.

Those who lag behind are pinned an additional pocket.

You also need to take hope,

It's somehow more fun to walk with her!
Do we take love? By itself!
We can’t live with you without her.
How many grandchildren do you, children, have?
According to their number, you take steps faster.
Who will take friendship with them on the journey?
He boldly takes a whole step forward.
And who decided to take the blues?
I ask you to step back!
And happiness won't hurt us.
Let it accompany everyone,
And it will enter every home...
Let's take it one step further!
Now turn to each other
And hug tight!
Let's celebrate the New Year together
And walk along his path
Forward! Against adversity!
Happy New Year to everyone!

The leader hands the first person in the line a bottle of champagne.

Feel free to take a bottle of champagne,
Treat each other to champagne now.
May your path be easy!
And again I wish you all a Happy New Year!

8. “Live” chairs.

In this game, Santa Claus himself “drives”. He recruits participants, there must be at least ten of them, and seats them on chairs. The chairs are arranged in a checkerboard pattern with the seats facing each other. First, they place the number of chairs corresponding to the number of participants involved in the game. The players are seated, and Santa Claus is under New Year's song begins to walk around and the one next to whom he hits the floor with his staff gets up from his place and begins to follow Frost, as if tied.

Thus, Santa Claus lifts all participants in the process from their chairs and begins to write out various pretzels around the hall. Everyone who follows on his heels must clearly follow all his “zigzags.” From the outside it turns out to be quite an interesting sight, because this whole procession, following Grandfather, either crouches, then waves its arms and performs other actions.

However, you need to immediately warn the players that when Santa Claus hits the floor with his staff twice, they need to run headlong to the chairs and take their place. In fact, while this whole “caterpillar”, led by Grandfather, is “walking,” one chair is removed, so that upon return one of the players will not find a place for himself.

After this trick, the game is repeated again, only for the second time two chairs disappear - then the game is on until the last “survivor” (he gets a prize).

9. New Year's "Crocodile"

Even such a well-known game as “Crocodile” can be presented in a new way at the New Year’s holiday. For example, the theme of guessing pantomimes is to make comic scenes from life and “everyday work”... Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.

To do this, the presenter prepares in advance a lot of paper cards with approximately the following content about Santa Claus: “Santa Claus fell asleep after children's matinee in a bag of gifts”, “Santa Claus grabbed a surplus and woke up in bed with the Snow Woman”, “Children stole Santa Claus’s beard”, “Santa Claus received a telegram asking the Moscow Zoo to give him a deer”, “Santa Claus ate too much ice cream”, “Santa Claus gave the Snow Maiden underwear.”

About the Snow Maiden something like this: “The Snow Maiden will cheat on Father Frost with the Snowman”, “The Snow Maiden worked at a matinee in a sex shop”, “The Snow Maiden gave birth to twins to Father Frost”, “The Snow Maiden found Father Frost in bed with the Snow Queen”, “The Snow Maiden was paid 1000 dollars for a striptease”, “After the holidays, the Snow Maiden gained 6 kg”, etc.

Select tasks for a specific company; of course, they should be different for adult party and for a family holiday.

The rules can be changed a little, for example, divide the participants into two teams, each one draws a card for themselves. Then, one by one, using only facial expressions and gestures, they depict what is written in pantomime style, and the opposing team guesses. You can limit the time, and at the end of the game you can count which team guessed more, or you can not do this at all, because the main thing is general fun.

10. "Who is this?"

New Year's Eve seems to last endlessly - the fun begins early in the evening, and sometimes ends when it's already dawn. Staying in a cheerful state for such a long period is not easy even for an athlete. To prevent guests from getting bored at the table, you will need competitions for the New Year for a cheerful company, and you need to select completely different ones - table, and active, and musical, and for ingenuity. Then New year's night will definitely be remembered!

Competitions at the table

Let's remember the alphabet

The first participant in the competition stands up and makes a toast, the words of which begin with the first three letters alphabet. Then the word passes to his neighbor, who must use the next three letters in his congratulations, and so on. The funniest thing will be with those participants who will get awkward letters - “y”, “e” and others.

New Year's toast

On separate cards you can write abbreviations familiar to everyone (TASS, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Housing and Communal Services, Air Force, Traffic Police) and distribute them to party participants. Each participant in the competition must come up with a toast starting with the abbreviation given to him, and then drink his glass. At the end of the competition, everyone drinks for the best toast.

With the same initial data, you can come up with different decoding of abbreviations, and whoever comes up with the most original one wins.

What is in the box?

When choosing competitions for adults for the New Year, you can safely include this one. First you need to prepare a few unusual items, which will become artifacts of the competition, and hide them in another room. When the game time comes, the presenter, being in this room without witnesses, hides one of the items in a tightly closed box and goes out to the guests with it. They must guess what is in the box, asking any questions (about shape, color, purpose, but not going through the letters). The one who is the first to guess what is in the box receives this item as a gift, and the presenter goes off to get the next item.

Tangerine tree

All guests receive a whole tangerine and, at the command of the host, they begin to peel them together in order to put them into slices beautiful Christmas tree. The one whose Christmas tree appears the fastest will win.

Santa Claus and...

A funny New Year's competition for adults can also concern fairy tale characters. Everyone knows that the Snow Maiden is the granddaughter of Father Frost, but then he must have a wife. Contest participants need to use their imagination to come up with a name for her and short description. The one whose story turns out to be the most entertaining wins a prize.

Melt the Snow Queen's heart

When planning to hold this competition, you need to freeze the ice in the molds in advance. Just before the start of the competition, all participants are given saucers with pieces of ice, and when the “start!” command sounds, everyone must melt this piece with their warmth in any way. You can rub it in your hands, breathe on it, come up with other options. The one whose piece of ice melts first will be declared the winner. The prize could be a rose, a crystal object, or any item from a famous fairy tale.

What's in your pants?

Rarely funny New Year's competitions for adults are complete without something spicy. The presenter should prepare a regular bag with clippings of newspaper quotes or, better yet, glue together a panty envelope. So, the guest who pulled the quote out of the bag begins with the words “And in my pants today...” and ends with his own quote. The presenter needs to rack his brains to find funny and ambiguous quotes.

What's in my mouth?

To conduct this competition, you need to prepare a container with products that will be used for the experiment, but will not be available at festive table. You will need 7-8 rather unusual products. During the competition, the player is blindfolded and one of these products is placed in his mouth, and he must guess what is in his mouth on the first try. For the next player you need to use a different product. The winner will be the most accurate taster.

Alphabet fir

New Year competitions often revolve around New Year's tree. IN in this case Participants must find and take turns pronouncing words that include the word spruce, for example, bed, blizzard, April, Monday. However, this cannot be repeated. The one who, in turn, did not find a new word loses and is eliminated. The last player to say the word automatically becomes the winner.

Memorabilia

Players write on pieces of paper to the presenter which items remind them of their childhood (it is advisable to list 5-6 items), without signing them. The folded notes are placed in a bag or box, after which the presenter begins to take out one piece of paper and read out the words written on it. Everyone should guess who wrote it. Such New Year's competitions at the table should be held for a company where everyone knows each other well.

It is advisable to conduct them one after another, only changing roles in pairs, so that the drink taster can repay his partner with his cooking. During the tasting, the “blind” must additionally cover his nose with his hand so as not to smell the smell.

Song in a hat

No less popular are music competitions for the New Year, where everyone strives to show off their vocal talents. You should prepare small pieces of paper with different words written on them in advance.

Next, put these pieces of paper in a bag and invite all guests to take turns pulling out a piece of paper from there. Next, the competition participant must come up with a short song where this word is used several times, and perform it.

Mobile competitions

Competitors are blindfolded and given paper and scissors, and they must blindly cut out a snowflake. The author of the most beautiful and neat snowflake receives a prize.

Beauty will save the world

This competition is most appropriate to hold in relaxed companies, where there are no shy and prim people. The presenter needs to take care in advance of the props for all participants in the competition (preferably all those present): clown noses and wigs, shiny crowns, striped stockings and other funny things. It is necessary that there be enough for each competitor in at least one subject, or better yet, two. Each item has a card of a certain color attached to it.

The presenter reminds everyone of the phrase about beauty that will save the world. He says that although very smart people have gathered at the table, they can become even more beautiful if they try on new clothes. Next, the host invites the players to choose one of the colors, and when the guest names a color, he gives him the corresponding props. At the end, everyone dresses up in what they got, and believe me, they will look very funny.

The player must guess what he sat on without touching the chair or the object itself with his hands.

New Year's crocodile

This famous game is enjoyed by people of different ages. The feast participants must be divided into two teams, and then each of them must delegate one person. The leader pronounces the chosen word to them, and they must pass it on to their team without words. The team that first guesses the transmitted word wins. You can modify the rules - one person plays the pantomime, the others guess, and the winner is the one who guesses first. So that there is no doubt that the word was made up on the fly, it must be written on a piece of paper in advance.

Mute Santa Claus and translator Snegurochka

The number of participants in this competition is not limited. It allows you not only to laugh heartily, but also to reveal creative potential celebrants. You need to choose a couple - the mute Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, who is skilled in translation. The grandfather should try to congratulate all the guests on the holiday with gestures, and the Snow Maiden should translate his pantomime into words as accurately as possible.

Fanta from a bottle

What are New Year's competitions for a relaxed company without everyone's favorite “bottle”? There are many variations of it, but we offer this: all participants in the feast need to be given 2-3 pieces of paper, on which they must write down their wishes, for example, “kneel in front of the neighbor on the left,” “pretend to be a zombie,” “show a striptease.” Then the pieces of paper need to be rolled into tubes and placed in a bottle.

Everyone sits in a circle and begins famous game“into the bottle”: whoever the neck of the bottle points to must draw a phantom from it, which must be read out loud and performed.

In such a competition one can find out the degree of depravity of those gathered, as well as the degree of courage. So, one girl made a wish to “completely ruin her hair,” and it was she who got this phantom...

Who has it longer?

The participants of the feast are divided into two teams, after which each of them begins to lay out a chain of things worn by its participants. The team whose chain is longer wins. To prevent things from ending in a complete striptease, it is advisable to introduce a time limit.

Men's competition "Who is cooler"

The presenter places eggs on the plate - one for each participant in the fun. He tells the players that all the eggs are boiled, except one raw (in fact, they are all boiled). Next, all the contestants, in order, take an egg from the plate at random and break it on their forehead. As the plate is emptied, the tension grows (who will get the raw egg), and everyone sympathizes with the last player until he, too, gets off with a slight fright.

Relay race "Pig's hooves"

Props: for this competition you will need paper cups (insert ribbons or strings along the edge of the glass on both sides into the slot, secure with a knot from the inside).

Essence: Guests are divided into two or three teams, depending on the number of people. The first players in the team are given cups, they stand on them, and take the ropes in their hands. On the contrary, there should be a space limitation, for example, a chair, 5-7 meters away. The first participants, accompanied by music, slide to the obstacle, go around it, return to the team and pass the cups to the next participants. The team that finishes the relay first wins, but points can be deducted for accuracy of execution.

Competition "Advertising"

Two young men are called. The presenter asks them to choose one lady from the audience. Then the presenter asks the question: “Why exactly did you like this girl? Viewers choose - eyes, hairstyle, shoes, etc.

Competition "Negotiations with polar bears and penguins"

An interesting and fun competition to “stretch” the brains of the whole team. Guests are divided into teams of approximately 5 people. All teams receive the same task: they will negotiate with polar bears and penguins in the same room, but bears are predators, and penguins are birds. In theory, the former should eat the latter. But here you can relax, no one will eat anyone. And the teams will have to answer in a minute of discussion why they shouldn’t worry, because 100 percent of the time, polar bears won’t eat penguins. There will be plenty of options. Ah, here is the correct answer and it is quite simple. But it’s unlikely to come to mind right away - polar bears won’t eat penguins, because the former live at the North Pole, and the latter at the South Pole, and in principle cannot eat each other, so the meeting will go peacefully. And, if suddenly, the team answers correctly, of course, they will receive a prize.

Every minute the ice floe begins to melt, and the newspaper folds in half. Music is constantly changing. You cannot stand; the couple must dance. Participants who step outside the boundaries of the newspaper are eliminated from the game. The last pair remaining wins.

And of course, the most important thing at the New Year's holiday were always children.
And for them it is worth choosing not only individual competitions and games, but also involving all adults in them. Otherwise, what fun is it?

Game "Candy"

Suitable for adults and children. It is necessary to tie the candies to threads in advance and hang them on chairs. Contestants, one at a time, must try to cut the candies with scissors with their eyes closed. Other guests may give incorrect advice in finding candy.

Competition "Hairdresser"

“Victims” sit on chairs, preferably men, of course. At the command of the presenter, young hairdressers must do hairstyles for clients using elastic bands, hairpins and combs. Whoever gets the most creative hairstyle wins.

Competition “Remembering Childhood”

This nostalgic competition for the New Year with family can appeal to different generations. You need to say a phrase or sing a verse or chorus of a song of a famous fairy-tale or cartoon character without saying his name. For example, “I am a man in the prime of life,” “Whoever helps people is wasting his time,” “Normal heroes always take a detour.” If no one remembers who they are talking about, the player who made the guess begins to give clues without saying the name of the hero.

Relay race “Snowball Gatherers”

For the relay race, two large, thick bags are prepared in advance, with slits for the legs at the bottom. In addition to this, you will need foam snowballs. You can replace them with lumps of white paper in the shape of snowballs. Children are divided into two teams. One of the players on each team is given the honorary name “Snowball Collector” and a bag with slots is put on his feet.
Cheerful music plays and the presenter throws snowballs on the floor. At the leader’s command, the children begin to collect snowballs, throwing them into the bag of their “Snowball Collector”. At the end, they count whose team collected the most snowballs.

Game "Throwers, knockers, hits"

There is no need for intelligence here, and it is quite possible to entertain guests from 3 to 103 years old.
From experience, such competitions sometimes turn out to be very exciting. It is difficult to guess what exactly your guests will like, we will simply list some options, and you will decide on the available props and set aside a place for the game:
– If you find any version of darts (magnetic, balls with Velcro), feel free to award a prize to the most accurate, there will definitely be interest in the competition.
– Skittles or plastic bottles filled with beans, peas or water, fun to knock down rubber ball any age. Prize for winning New Year's bowling!
– Throwing “snowballs” from a newspaper into a basket (what if someone gets a 10 out of 10 result?). Choose the distance yourself.
