To mom

A fun New Year's game for big company"I knew!"

This is a trick joke. The presenter during the concert between numbers says that a real entertainer knows the program and script of the concert so well that he does not need to look into the “cheat sheet” or go backstage to announce the next performer. He even becomes a little clairvoyant and can read thoughts from a distance. “It’s precisely these abilities,” he says, “that I sense in myself. It seems to me that now I can read your (points to the viewer) thoughts. Think of a number from 1 to 5. So, thank you! Now announce this to everyone present. Four. Perfect! Please come out on stage, go to the table, open the book. What's in there? Envelope. Perfect. Is it sealed? Open it up! Read the note!


The viewer reads in amazement: “I knew you were thinking of four!” Applause is the reward for a good trick. And his secret is very simple: the presenter, before a concert or holiday, “charges” sealed envelopes with answers from 1 to 5 (you can do up to ten, but it’s easy to get confused) in different places. The main thing is not to forget where each envelope is. Therefore, it is better to hide them according to the system. For example: from left to right, from bottom to top, i.e. the smaller numbers are in the left half of the room, the third ones are in the middle, the larger ones are in the right half.

Children on all fours, tapping spoons in front of them, must find an overturned pot standing on the floor in the middle of the room. Under this pot, of course, is a prize. Fans can tell the contestants the direction of their search by saying: “hot - cold.” True, this more often hinders the guys than helps. They spin around in one place, jump next to the pot...

The game is very emotional and fun. The first one to hit the pot with a spoon is declared the winner. Important condition: You can’t fumble around with both hands; you can only look for a pot with one hand with a spoon.

The presenter’s task is to keep the intrigue and hint that the gift is very chic, but money has never bothered anyone, that they need to take it. The player's choice can be made in different ways, be it a children's counting rhyme or according to some separate criteria. In order to make it interesting for all guests, so that no one is offended (why did you choose this or that player), you can draw several prizes this way, but you will have to stock up a large sum money (even as was said earlier, maybe not real money).

Grandfather rubs his hands: “Okay, sir.”
The grandmother threatens her grandfather with her fist and says: “I would kill him!”
The granddaughter – (for super-effect, choose an impressively sized man for this role) – twitches her shoulders and says, “I’m ready.”
Bug - scratches behind the ear, says: “The fleas are tormented”
Cat – sways her hips “And I’m on my own”
The mouse shakes its head, “We’ve finished!”

“Grandfather (“Tek-s”) planted Turnip (“Oba-na”). Turnip (“Both-on!”) ​​grew big and big. Grandfather (“Tek-s”) began to pull Turnip (“Both-on!”). He pulls and pulls, but he can’t pull it out. Grandfather called (“Tek-s”) Grandma (“I would kill”)…” etc.

New Year 2019 – what to give?

The most sensitive

Only women participate in the competition. The participants stand facing the audience. Behind each is a chair. The presenter quietly places a small object on each chair. On command, all participants sit down and try to determine what kind of object is under them. Looking at and using hands is prohibited. The first one to determine wins. You can guess the number of identical objects (caramels, tangerines) placed on a chair.

Surprise

The competition is prepared in advance. We take the most common ones air 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 and receives a task that must be completed!
For example:
1. Recreate the chimes on New Year's Eve.
2. Stand on a chair and notify the whole world that Santa Claus is coming to us.
3. Sing the Song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.”
4. Dance rock and roll.
5. Guess the riddle.
6. Eat a few slices of lemon without sugar.

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.

Lung capacity

The players' task is to inflate the balloons in the allotted time without using their hands.

Whale

Everyone stands in a circle and joins hands. It is advisable that there are no breakable, sharp, etc. nearby. items. 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 funny thing is that the second animal that the host 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. :-))

Masquerade

Various funny clothes are stuffed into the bag in advance ( national hats, cloth, underwear, swimsuits, stockings or tights, scarves, bows, diapers for adults, etc. You can insert balls into the bra). A DJ is selected. He turns the music on and off at different intervals. The music starts playing, the participants begin to dance and pass the bag to each other. The music stopped. Whoever has the bag left in his hands pulls out one item and puts it on himself. And so on until the bag is empty. In the end, everyone looks very funny.

“What do you like about your neighbor?”

Everyone sits in a circle and the leader says that now everyone must say what they like about their neighbor on the right. When everyone tells these intimate details, the presenter joyfully announces that now everyone should kiss their neighbor on the right exactly in the place that he liked most.

New Year's prediction

Once upon a time in the cold winter time,
I came out of the forest; it was bitterly cold.

7. As soon as the guesser says correct option, the bandage is removed.
To make the competition more difficult, those who are guessed can be misled by changing their height or hairstyle.

New Year's Pathfinder



For this competition, you should prepare cut out snowflakes in advance. You will need at least 30 of them. One of the household members is sent to another room, while the rest of the family hides snowflakes throughout the room. Places for hiding can be very different and unexpected. You can put a snowflake in your pocket, throw it on a chandelier or hide it under a salad bowl.
When all the snowflakes are hidden, the person who will look for them is called into the room. Relatives should help the search with comments like “cold” and “warm.” As soon as the seeker is very close to the hiding place, the relatives should start shouting “hotly”. Children especially love this competition.

Family relay races

Relatives gathered at the same table during the feast can take a break without leaving the table. All those present should be divided into two teams. You can categorize participants by gender, children and adults, or by generation. The competition is held as follows:

There are many competitions for children and adults gathered to celebrate the New Year. You can play Crocodile, sing songs, ask riddles.

New Year's entertainment for kids



For children, New Year's holidays are often held separately. When the chimes strike, most often the kids are already asleep or very capricious. Arrange children's celebration separately. This could be an event in kindergarten or at home. In addition to treats, consider various entertainments. It will be great if one of your loved ones dresses up as Father Frost and Snow Maiden. Select an appropriate musical selection from New Year's and children's songs.

Round dance

What New Year's Eve celebration would be complete without a friendly round dance around the Christmas tree? Put the dressed up green beauty in the middle of the room and walk around it, humming a well-known popular song. It is better to mix children and adults so that the procession is friendly and fun.
Who can name more New Year's songs?
It is worth preparing a bag with small gifts, sweets or fruits in advance. Children are asked to name as many songs as possible that mention winter, New Year, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Christmas tree, snowflakes, snow and gifts. Reward the kids with a small prize for their answers.

Cheerful artists



For the competition you will need two large sheets of paper. You can glue 4 sheets of A4 size or regular notebook pages using tape. Children are given one marker of a different color and divided into two teams.
Large sheets of canvas are hung on the wall. The task is to draw each child one element of how he sees the New Year. Each team must draw one picture in total. For example, one child runs up and draws a Christmas tree, another - snowflakes, a third - Christmas decorations etc.
There is no need to determine the winner in this competition. Both teams should receive equal prizes. Prepare sweet gifts, books or toys for each participant in advance. Homemade paintings made together can later be framed and kept as souvenirs.

Repetitions

A presenter is invited for the competition. It’s better if it’s Santa Claus or Snow Maiden. Children are placed in a semicircle. The goal of the game is to touch yourself on that part of the body that the host says out loud. At the same time, he touches himself on completely different parts of the body. For example, Grandfather Frost says “Ear!” and grabs his nose.
This is very funny competition, which develops children. The leader must alternate between correct and incorrect actions. It is difficult to identify a winner in this fun, so you can reward all participants with sweet prizes.

Surprises from the New Year's bag

The presenter or Santa Claus goes to the center of the room with a bag in which small gifts are hidden. These could be sweets, fruits, small toys, mini-books. Children gathered around must guess riddles. It is not necessary to touch only on New Year’s themes; you can ask fascinating questions about fairy-tale heroes and animals. The fastest and most active should be rewarded with a gift. Make sure that not a single child is left without a reward.
Useful!
If one of the children is shy, Santa Claus can pretend to be deaf and approach a separate modest child to hear the answer.

Table competitions



During the celebration of the night of transition to next year Guests should not only be fed deliciously, but also entertained interestingly. If the premises do not allow active games, table competitions will come to the rescue. They liberate everyone present, get to know each other better, and allow them to be creative.

Say the letter word

The table competition is suitable for both children and adults. The leader at the table names any letter of the alphabet, and all guests must name words starting with this letter, which they can show in the room. For example, many objects can be named with the letter C - table, chairs, napkins, etc. The last one to name the word wins. If you liked the fun, you can complicate the task by naming some less popular letter. For example, B, F or Y.

Secretary and boss



To play the game you will need to make a small text in several copies in advance. Everyone gathered is divided into pairs. One of the tandem participants needs to stuff his mouth with nuts, bread or fruit so that it is difficult to speak. This is the "boss". He is given a piece of paper with the text. His partner, the “secretary,” will have to write down the words that his boss dictates to him. The winner is the pair whose version is closest to the original. Showing the “secretary” what is written on the sheet to the “boss” is prohibited.

Find your match

You should prepare stickers in advance on which you need to write names famous couples fictional, fairy tale or film characters. For example:
Ruslan and Ludmila;
Romeo and Juliet;
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie;
Galkin and Pugacheva, etc.

Everyone’s task is to find out through questions whether they are a couple of the person being interviewed. His interlocutor should answer only “yes” or “no”. The result is a very fun idea.
New Year in an adult company
A feast in an adult company and at parties for young people is often accompanied by drinking. Cool competitions with alcohol can be organized to stir up the guests and make New Year's Eve fun and sociable.

Toasts



All you need for fun is guests, their imagination and good mood. Each person present in turn must make a New Year's toast, after which they should have a drink and a snack. It is important that the intervals between toasts are not small, otherwise all participants will quickly become intoxicated. The next person’s task is to deliver a speech without repetition.
Poured, drank, ate
To play you need two chairs, two bottles of strong drink, two shot glasses, two saucers with snacks cut into slices. All guests are divided into two teams and located in one part of the room. Chairs, alcohol, dishes and snacks are placed on the opposite side. After the starting command:

the second participant must get to the chair as quickly as possible, drink the contents of the glass and return;
the third participant must quickly arrive at the chair and take a bite;

New Year's lotteries
In the company of adults, you can hold comic lotteries. To do this, a variety of small items with shocking and humorous descriptions are prepared in advance. For example, a light bulb can be characterized as an antique crystal chandelier from the 19th century, an ordinary pen like a Louis XIV feather, an ordinary piece of fabric like Philip Kirkorov’s pocket. All small prizes must be hidden in a bag or box.
The lottery itself for the New Year is carried out in the following sequence:
