New Year's games and competitions for adults. Fun New Year competitions: home, restaurant, corporate

For teenagers

The competition is prepared in advance. We take the most ordinary balloons. We write assignments on pieces of paper. The tasks may be different. We put the notes inside the balloon and inflate it. The player pops any ball without using his hands (for example, by sitting on it) and receives a task that must be completed.

Chocolate

Two teams are participating. The presenter prepares two identical chocolates. At the command “Start”, the outer players of the two teams, sitting next to the leader, quickly unwrap each of their chocolate bars, bite off a piece and pass the chocolate bar to the next participant. The one, in turn, quickly eats another piece and passes the chocolate to the next player. The winner is the team that eats its chocolate bar faster, and it should be enough for all the players on the team.

Whale

Everyone stands in a circle and joins hands. It is advisable that there are no beating or sharp objects. The presenter speaks into each player's ear the names of two animals. And he explains the meaning of the game: when he names any animal, then the person who was told this animal should sit down sharply in his ear, and his neighbors to the right and left, on the contrary, when they feel that their neighbor is crouching, should prevent this from happening, supporting the neighbor by the arms . It is advisable to do all this at a fairly fast pace, without giving any breaks. The joke is that the second animal that the presenter speaks into the players’ ears is the same for everyone - “WHALE”. And when, a minute or two after the start of the game, the presenter suddenly says: “Whale,” then everyone inevitably has to sit down sharply - which leads to prolonged wallowing on the floor.

I'll sing now!

On New Year's Day, it is customary to sing songs and dance around the tree. But this activity can be diversified. For example, when the presenter claps, everyone begins to sing the famous song “The Little Christmas Tree is Cold in Winter.” At the second clap, singing aloud stops, but all participants in the game continue to sing to themselves. On the third clap, everyone starts singing out loud again. Anyone who enters at the wrong time either drops out or comes forward and invites everyone to sing some other well-known song. This is repeated several times. The leader can help everyone else by conducting the combined choir, especially during those moments when the participants are singing mentally.

Then he unfolds the next layer, reads the riddle again to himself and says the answer. If he doesn't know the answer, he reads the riddle out loud. The first one to solve this riddle unrolls the next layer of paper. The winner is the one who, having solved the last riddle, gets to the gift.

Then the commander says: “Hands down!” - and players must place their hands, palms down, on the table. The one who has the coin tries to cover it with his palm.

Competition "Songs"

Song lovers competition. We stand in a circle, facing each other. The host starts the song, sings or speaks one verse.

Tamer of Wild Beasts

Place chairs in the room, one less than the number of guests. Everyone takes chairs, and one of the players becomes a wild animal tamer.

Place a two-meter long rope under the chairs. Both participants stand at their chairs. At the signal, they must take their jackets, turn out the sleeves, put on the jacket and fasten all the buttons. Then run around your opponent’s chair, sit on your chair and pull the rope (simulating pulling a fire hose).

Prize drawing on the count of three

Two participants stand opposite each other - there is a prize (for example, candy) on a chair in front of them. The leader counts: one, two, three hundred, one, two, three. eleven, one, two, thirty, etc. The winner is the one who is more attentive and the first to take the prize when the presenter says “three”.

Guess who am I!

The game becomes more fun when many guests take part in it at once. The leader is blindfolded, the rest join hands and stand around the “blind” person. The leader claps his hands and the children begin to move in a circle. The presenter claps again - and the circle freezes. Now the presenter must point to a player and try to guess who it is. If he manages to do this on the first try, then the one who was guessed leads. If the presenter does not guess who is in front of him on the first try, he has the right to touch this player and try to guess a second time. If the guess is correct, the identified child drives. As a variation of this game, you can introduce a rule according to which the presenter can ask the player to say something, to imitate an animal - to bark or meow.

Hit the hat!

Give the kids a high five playing cards, nuts in shells, straws for drinking water, etc. and ask them to hit the hat with these objects while standing at a certain distance from the target.

Crocodile

All participants are divided into two teams. The first team comes up with a clever word and then says it to one of the players on the opposing team. The task of the chosen one is to depict the hidden word without making a sound, only with gestures, facial expressions and plastic movements, so that his team can guess what was planned. After successfully guessing, the teams change roles. After some practice, this game can be complicated and made much more interesting by guessing not words, but phrases.

1. Snowball

The competition can be held while sitting at a table. This is a dating game that, in an unfamiliar company, allows you to remember the names of all party participants, and also have a lot of fun at the very beginning of the holiday.

The first participant says his name. The second participant says the name of the previous participant, as well as his own name. So the game continues, with each participant the list of names that must be pronounced becomes longer.

Then the game can be complicated by asking participants to add to their name some nickname based on fairy-tale characters, for example “Peter - Batman”, “Anna - Fiona” and so on.

It is quite difficult to determine the winners in this competition, but the process of pronouncing names will already be real fun.

2. Catch the “snake”

Two participants sit on chairs, standing friend backs to each other. Under the chairs there is a rope - a “snake”, the ends of which pass between the feet of each participant.

At the command of the main leader, the participants must sharply lean forward, trying to grab the rope faster than their opponent and pull it out from under the chair.

The most dexterous one wins - he then competes with the next participant, and so on, until the undisputed winner is determined.

3. Together we will defeat winter!

Everyone gets into pairs. Each pair is given a piece of ice (ice in identical molds must be prepared for the competition in advance). At a signal, the couple tries to quickly melt their ice in any way - you can blow on it, lick it, put it on the body, between your palms, or rub it. Participants are not allowed to use heating devices or hot utensils to melt their piece of ice. The couple whose piece of ice melts first wins.

You can change this competition a little as follows. Small pieces of paper are prepared in advance, words on the theme of the New Year and winter are written on them - “Snow Maiden”, “blizzard”, “Santa Claus”, “Snow”, “winter”, “December”.

Representatives from the teams take out one piece of paper from a colorful box, try to quickly remember the song that contains the given word, and perform it. This competition can be designed as a small improvisation concert.

A note with some New Year-themed task is placed in the balloons, for example: “Show the Kremlin chimes”, “Show the dance of snowflakes”, “Depict snow woman", "Draw an icicle", "Show a Christmas tree", "Show a drunken Santa Claus", "Sing a New Year's song in a child's voice" and so on. These tasks should be varied and fun, and you need to prepare a fairly large number of them.

You also need to pour small confetti into the balloons, inflate them and hang them somewhere higher.

For the competition, all those present are divided into two groups. A member of the first team must burst the balloon with his hand or a stick - it will be covered with confetti and a piece of paper with the task will fall out. Then he must complete the task assigned to him as best as possible to the friendly applause and laughter of those present.

The second participants must run to the tables and pour the drink into the glass to the brim. The third pair of participants runs to drink what is poured in glasses. The fourth participants in the competition “snack” a sandwich, the fifth ones run and close the bottle of drink.

You need to write the answers on the second half of the cards - this will be the second deck.

Questions could be: “Do you know how to control yourself?”, “If I kiss you, what will you say to this?”,
“Do you like striptease?”, “Do you often get drunk?” and others. Answers may be as follows: “Only after payday,” “My youth is left behind,” “This is mine.” favorite hobby", "Only at night" and others.

The first participant names the person who will be asked the question, takes a card from the deck of questions, and reads it.

The answerer takes a card from the answer deck and reads it. Then the second participant calls the name of the next answerer, takes a card with a question, reads it - and the festival of fun questions and answers continues further.

"Question answer"
The rules of the competition are very simple. To begin, the questions and answers listed below must be written on cards of the same size. It is advisable to use thick paper or thin cardboard. You should end up with two identical decks: one with questions, the other with answers. And then everything is simple. Shuffle each deck thoroughly and place it in the center of the table. The first player takes the question card and reads it to his neighbor. He takes the card with the answer and reads the answer out loud. Then the person who answered the question asks his next neighbor, and so on in a circle. Even just a quick look at the list below can give you an idea of ​​the similarities there might be. What is it worth, for example: “Do you like swimming naked? “On Saturdays this is a necessity for me.” Or: “Tell me, do you like me? “When I’m drunk, and I’m always drunk!” It’s only advisable to sit down like this: guy - girl - guy - girl. Because when two guys sit next to each other, all the questions are like: “Do you like me?”, “Do you like to look into my eyes?” and even “What would you say if I kissed you now?” These guys come across it (repeatedly tested from my own experience). And what kind of answers they come across to this is generally “beyond the comprehension of the mind.”

Have you already started preparing competitions for New Year 2019? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and competitions for the New Year, and found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Pig cheerfully and joyfully.

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

  1. Make a plan for games and competitions. A group of adults will need to eat, raise their glasses to the New Year, and dance, so game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.
  2. Prepare your props. Having decided what you will play at home for the New Year, make a list of what you will need for this or that competition. It's best to organize props and prizes into themed competitions (I use small gift bags for this).
  3. Stock up on prizes. People love to receive small funny prizes - candies, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It’s better to take extra prizes.
  4. It is better to make auxiliary materials on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on regular cards in advance, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
  5. Select music, identify your helpers, prepare a place for games.

Collection of competitions and games

"Wishes"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of competitions where guests don’t have to do anything - for example, they can be asked to burst balloons with wishes inside.


You need to prepare in advance a large bunch of balloons (their number should be greater than the number of guests, just in case), inside which notes with wishes are inserted. For example, you can give a guest scissors and invite him to cut off the ball he likes, and then read it aloud to all the guests - such a simple but cute entertainment helps the company have fun and unite.

"Tsiferki"

New Year's games and competitions based on the question-and-answer model always receive a lot of applause. It’s no wonder - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the host hands out small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and invites them 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 circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the presenter says that now everyone present will be able to learn more about each other - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them, holding up a piece of paper with the numbers written down, and loudly announcing the answer.

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


"Not a word of truth"

My favorite pastimes are funny competitions for the new year. Of course, for a group of pensioners you will need to choose something more decent, but in your circle you can always have fun - for example, by playing the game “Not a Word of the Truth”.


The presenter will need to prepare in advance many New Year's questions, such as these:
  • What tree is traditionally decorated for the holiday?
  • What film in our country symbolizes the New Year?
  • What is customary to launch into the sky on New Year's Eve?
  • who is sculpted from snow in winter?
  • who on TV addresses Russians with a New Year's speech?
  • The outgoing year is the year of whom according to the Chinese calendar?
It’s better to write down more questions, you can ask about New Year's traditions different countries, or the habits of guests. During the game, the host will have to quickly and cheerfully ask his questions, and the guests will answer, without saying a word of the truth.

The one who makes a mistake and answers truthfully, based on the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various wishes - you can use wishes to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to put several slices of tangerine in both cheeks and say something like “I’m a hamster and I eat grain, don’t touch it - it’s mine, and whoever takes it will be finished!”. Bursts of laughter are guaranteed - both during the game and during the “punishment” of the losing participant.

"Accurate shooter"

As entertainment for the New Year 2019, you can play snipers. It’s most fun to play this game when the participants are already a little tipsy - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it’s 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 a bucket. The bucket is placed at a distance of five to seven meters from the players; as “snowballs” you can use lumps of cotton wool, crumpled paper, or just take a couple of sets of simple New Year's balls made of plastic, which are sold in any supermarket.

I decided to improve this game for a New Year's party 2019 for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a “goal” - hitting them with a soft ball of cotton wool is even more difficult than hitting a bucket.

"New Year decoration"

Of course, New Year's competitions for adults can be less sporting.


All those present should be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The teams are given the task of building New Year's ball. For production, you can only use toiletries, accessories and jewelry that the team members are wearing. The winner is the team that makes the brightest and most beautiful ball.

By the way, a little life hack- in every company there are people who do not actively participate in competitions and try to just sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint them to the jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to make a short speech into an improvised microphone. This way they will be simultaneously involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled out from the table.

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

"Come, forest deer"

By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a corporate event 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. There is no need to divide the guests into teams; it is enough to simply invite them to split into pairs.


Each pair has a “reindeer” and a “Santa” (you can give one improvised antlers, and the other Santa hats - both are sold for mere pennies in a fixed price store before the new year).

The “deer” needs to be blindfolded and made into a harness - no need to split hairs, a simple clothesline or cord that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his “reindeer.” A track is built from the pins, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. Those participants who reach the finish line earlier than others and do not knock down the pins win. Instead of skittles, you can use empty bottles, cardboard drink cups or paper cones (we made them in the shape of 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 wrote a collective New Year's greetings for everyone present. You can use a ready-made text (as in the image), you can create your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - the guests should call them.


The host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say big and beautiful toast- and waves the postcard on which he has already written a congratulation. Only he didn’t have enough adjectives, and the guests must suggest them. Everyone randomly offers adjectives related to winter, New Year and holiday, and the presenter writes them down and then reads out the result - the text turns out to be very funny!

"Turnip: New Year's version"

If you love New Year's competitions for the whole family, then turnip is what you need!


So, you need to prepare the participants - they need to match the number of characters in the fairy tale. Each participant gets a role in an impromptu performance. It's simple, the participant needs to remember the key phrase and movement that he must act out when mentioning himself.
  1. The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation “Both-on!”
  2. Grandfather rubs his palms and grunts, “Yes, sir!”
  3. The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, “I would have killed him!”
  4. The granddaughter dances and sings “I’m ready!” in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
  5. The bug itches and complains of fleas.
  6. The cat wags its tail and mannerly drawls, “And I’m on my own.”
  7. The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says, “We’ve finished the game!”
After everyone has tried themselves in a new role, the presenter reads the text of the fairy tale (no changes here), and the actors act out their role whenever they hear about themselves. The grandfather planted (rubs his hands and grunts) a turnip (clap-clap, both of them!) and further according to the text. Believe me, there will be enough bursts of laughter, especially when the fairy tale comes to the end, and the presenter will list all the participants in turn.

"Strictly in alphabetical order"

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


Each guest must make a short toast to his letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second one should start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:
  1. A It is absolutely necessary to drink to happiness in the new year!
  2. B Let's go healthy in the new year!
  3. IN Let's drink to the old year!
  4. E If we don’t get drunk, we’ll have to eat!
The task for everyone present is to make toasts for each letter of the alphabet, and then choose the winner - the one who came up with the best toast, which is worth drinking for!

"Bunnies"

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



Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands, the leader 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 says the name of the animal out loud, the person for whom it was given 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 get into a frenzy.

The main joke of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people have taken turns squatting to the names of other animals, the leader says “Bunny!”, and the whole circle suddenly tries to sit down (trying to overcome the possible resistance of neighbors, as was the case with other animals).

Naturally, everyone starts laughing, and a pile of small things gathers on the floor!

"News from the New Year"

A great 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 needed. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with the hottest news from the New Year's issue, using all the words from the card. What to write on cards? Any set of words.
  • China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
  • Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, bag.
  • New Year 2019, fan, tights, pan, scabies.
  • Santa Claus, pig, herring, stapler, barrier.
  • Nettle, tinsel, Kirkorov, fishing rod, plane.
  • Football, shovel, snow, Snow Maiden, tangerines.
  • Snowman, beard, tights, bicycle, school.
  • Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.
How to come up with news? Set an example for your guests by showing them that all words need to be used, and the stranger the news, the more interesting it is.

Well, for example, from the last example I gave, you can build something like this: “In the Moscow Zoo, during winter washing, a rug was discovered in a boa constrictor.” There will be a reason to be surprised, and laugh, and drink to the fact that all the news in the new 2019 will be just as positive.

"We're jumping into the New Year"

We are in family circle As a form of entertainment for the New Year, we often arrange jumping, and 2019 will not be an exception, I’m sure - this is already a kind of tradition.


So, how it happens: after drinking for the outgoing year, the presenter brings markers and pencils (the brighter the better) and a large sheet of paper (Whatman paper 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 for all your wishes to come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - some manage to draw several miniatures, for others it is enough to sketch what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually finished or remains finishing touches. After the president’s speech, the presenter invites everyone to join hands, count out the chimes in unison, and solemnly jump into the New Year and into the success of their own desires!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and next year checking who has what has come true is also a topic for table conversation, by the way.

"The best"

Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. Good way keep the guests busy - give them unique tasks, but few people want to just compete, right?


Therefore, we do the following - we hang sweets on the Christmas tree or small gifts. It is best to opt for figured chocolate or other sweets. Christmas tree decorations. We provide each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we write not names, but some definitions that the guests will have to think about and get to know each other better (ideal when there are newcomers who need to join the existing company).

What to write on labels:

  1. The owner of the brownest eyes.
  2. The best high jumper.
  3. To the biggest hooligan (here you will have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
  4. The owner of the best tan.
  5. The owner of the highest heels.
  6. The owner of the most dangerous job.
  7. A couple whose number of buttons on their clothes is 10.
  8. To the one who is wearing more yellow today.
I think you understand the main message. Guests will independently begin to find out who vacationed where, who has a brighter tan, measure the length of their heels and discuss work.

"Song from a Hat"

By the way, almost all New Year's competitions at the table involve playing with a hat - some notes are thrown into the hat in advance, and then they are pulled out and carried out tasks for relatives or colleagues.

In the New Year 2019, we will play with our family a popular variation of this game with songs. You need to put notes with winter and New Year's words, each guest blindly takes a note from a hat and sings a song in which this word appears.

By the way, you will be able to have fun even if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will experience great idea compose a small song on the fly to the most popular tune, or somehow remake one of the famous New Year's songs of past years.

By the way, this game is also suitable for non- big 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 while playing - after all, cool New Year's competitions unite!

"Mittens"

Naturally, New Year's competitions 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 ones. winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to quickly button up the girls' shirts so that they don't freeze!

By the way, my friends, who love various New Year's competitions for teenagers and young people, wanted to do this competition in reverse - freeing the girls from their shirts, however, they were forced to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even with mittens it is convenient to pull the hem of the shirt 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 competitions for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.


So, holes are made for the hands in a thick sheet of cardboard. We give the players tassels, they must stick their hands into the holes and portray Santa Claus. At this moment they cannot see what they are drawing.

At work, you can divide the team into male and female teams, and give one the task of portraying the Snow Maiden, and the other - Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to a fairy-tale character.

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

"We distribute roles"

Begin fun competitions For the New Year, your family can enjoy this kind of entertainment.


Prepare more attributes of fairy-tale New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty Kinder capsules (you can simply wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of candy) and start games at the table for the New Year with an offer to find out who still runs the show.

Everyone present must play their part. These could be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the Snow Queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his reindeer. Provide small attributes to all guests that will be relevant to their role that night - e.g. snow queen a crown is suitable, Santa Claus can loudly knock with his elegant staff, and a company of oversized bunny boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as Grandma Winter starts making a toast or specially woken up for competitions for the New Year 2019 and New Year's dances Mikhailo Potapych.

"Photo tests"

Which cool competitions for the new year without photos?


Make an area for photography and collect some props in this corner - guests will be able to take photos in different images, and then you can arrange photo tests. So, you will need to determine who is suitable for the role:
  • the most decrepit snowflake;
  • the sleepiest guest;
  • the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
  • the hungriest Santa Claus;
  • the most generous Santa Claus;
  • the kindest Santa Claus;
  • the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
  • the most overfed guest;
  • the most cheerful guest;
  • the most cunning Baba Yaga;
  • the evil Kashchei himself;
  • the strongest hero;
  • the most capricious princess;
  • the biggest snowflake;
  • and so on…
By the way, you can hold this competition a little differently - stock up on props, and invite guests to draw, without looking, the role in which they will be photographed, and the rest of the participants should help with advice and deeds to better embody the image. You can laugh during the process, and when you look at the pictures - fortunately, you can do this in just a few minutes.

"Little things from Grandfather Frost"

Tell your guests this legend about how Santa Claus was walking 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, but the small presents fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.


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


As pleasant little things may be: calendar cards, candles, keychains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.
