New Year's games and competitions for children

Choose Santa Claus and Snow Maiden
Hide little notes in the Kinder Surprise capsules, one of which will say “Santa Claus”, the other will say “Snow Maiden”. If you don’t have so many “Kinders” at home, put ordinary paper packages in a bag, and let all the participants in the feast experience their “happiness”!

The papers may be empty, but it is better to give out New Year's roles to all guests: Snowflake, Grandma Winter, Snow Queen, Snowman, and so on. If Santa Claus is 2 years old and Snow Maiden is 55, everything worked out as it should! Announce the first New Year's dance for the lucky ones, don't forget to put on the necessary attributes and take a photo of them near the New Year's tree!

Draw the symbol of the New Year
In 2019 it will be the Pig. We invite everyone to portray this animal. It’s very easy to portray a pig; all you need to do is show a little imagination. We give sweet gifts to the winner.

New Year's predictions
Everyone is interested in knowing what will await them in the new year. And children are no exception. Therefore, the New Year’s game for children “New Year’s Predictions” is an excellent opportunity to keep younger guests busy and make them a pleasant wish on the holiday night.

Place pieces of paper with the names of everyone present in a hat, come up with questions and wishes, and choose a presenter who will help pull out the piece of paper with the addressee of congratulations. You can change your “hand” after each question - each person present in turn can draw a name on a piece of paper, thereby joining the wish. And the questions could be the following:
Who will study best in the new year?
Who will make the great discovery?
Who will find the treasure?
Who will win the lottery?
Who will receive the most gifts?
Who will have the most good news in the new year?
Who will travel a lot?
Who's in for the biggest surprise in 2019?
Who will be the most successful at work (at school)?
Who will be the most athletic in the new year?
Who will be the healthiest?
Who will become famous?
Who will have the biggest dream come true?

What's in the black box?
Why not become a wizard or... a psychic on New Year's Eve? After all, everyone loves miracles and everything unusual - this is especially true on New Year’s Eve.

Let the presenter place a shoe box covered with colored or black paper on a chair in the center of the room and ask them to guess what is in there. In this case, for greater persuasiveness, the presenter can walk near the box and make magical waves with his hands. And if parents are not too lazy to prepare for their children’s New Year’s games in advance, then a magic wand and a psychic wizard’s robe would be just right for this competition. And so that guests and participants can be convinced that there is no lie here, but pure magic, let the presenter allow them to approach the box, make movements with their hands, copying the magicians and the presenter. Perhaps this will help them guess what is there!

Well, is it time to guess? Advice to the presenter: you should accept one answer from each person present - this makes it easier to find the winner. Children naturally assume the presence of toys, adults - anything. Therefore, you can put a really valuable thing in the box that is suitable for any gender and age (a cup with the symbol of the year, for example), a toy or a children's book. Or you can have some fun and put out a firecracker from which fake $100 bills fly out. Why not have some fun?

The main thing is that everyone receives a reward for their efforts. It's New Year's Eve!

Chiming clock
Divide all guests - children and adults - into 2 teams. Give each team Christmas tree decorations and clothespins. But all the toys, snowflakes and garlands need to be hung on... one of the team members - let him shine like a Christmas tree! By the way, you can also hold a garland in your teeth.

To make it more fun, turn on the recording of the chimes! Whoever comes up with the funniest Christmas tree in 1 minute while the recording is going on wins.

New Year games for adults

New Year's mail
This New Year's competition is both pleasant entertainment and a good opportunity to congratulate each other on the upcoming 2019! Everyone receives a snowflake with a number written on it. In the room where the celebration will take place, you need to install a box in advance in which you can drop notes with congratulations. Each is for a specific number, which is assigned to the guest in advance at the very beginning of the New Year holiday. Once every half hour or hour, the host of the evening or a specially selected “postman” delivers congratulations and hands them to the recipients. At the end of the festival, you can determine the winner - the most popular recipient - and reward him with a pre-prepared medal or a small New Year's souvenir.

Funny gifts
Give each participant 2 pieces of paper. Write the name of the gift on one. You can enter any gifts: an expensive gift for a loved one, a sweet gift, a dream gift, for example. On the second sheet, write what you would like to do with the gift. For example: on 1 sheet - candy, on 2 - eat.

Mix all sheets number one and put them in a bag. In another bag, put all the leaves numbered 2 and mix them too: let the participants take turns taking out a note from the bags - one with a name and one with an action. Don't forget to read the combinations out loud! And the funniest desire and its fulfillment wins.

New Year's gift on account...
Santa Claus puts a gift on a chair, and 2-3 players stand around. The participants’ task is to take the gift at the moment when Santa Claus says the number 3. But Santa Claus is cunning and counts “1,2, 33” or “1,2, 300”...

New Year's competitions for children and adults are a lot of positive emotions. The main thing is not to miss the chimes while having fun and make a wish!

New Year's holidays should be celebrated solemnly and, most importantly, with a sincere smile. After all, the smell of pine needles, beautiful holiday decor, and unexpected gifts cannot but delight each of us. But what to do if the magical night is supposed to be celebrated by a large noisy company. Naturally, an ordinary feast and communication will not reproduce such a relaxed and interesting atmosphere as well-planned and well-thought-out games. Are you intrigued by this idea, then check out our article, which will provide you with 12 ideas for fun competitions for young people for the New Year 2019 prepared. Believe me, with such fun you will remember this holiday for a long time. Cool photos taken at the height of comic spectacles and entertainment will remain as a keepsake.

“Sit down on your knees”

The competition for young people is as follows: chairs are placed in a circle, and the boys and girls participating in the competition sit on them. The game starts with the Snow Maiden, who needs to be blindfolded. When the music turns on, the presenter begins to walk in a circle, when the music turns off, the Snow Maiden should sit on the lap of the player near whom she stopped and guess who exactly it is. The exposed contestant becomes the driver and the game continues. According to the rules, you are not allowed to touch participants with your hands. For the New Year 2019 - this is just what you need! This game can also be used at school for a New Year's party.

"Sweet kiss"

To hold this competition you will need several couples in love. Each of them merges in a sweet kiss. At the same time, the guy and the girl, without looking up from the kiss, need to undress each other to pre-agreed limits. Easy option: take off your jacket, jacket, scarf, vest, etc. Of course, you can play a more spicy version of the game and organize stripping down to your underwear (depending on how relaxed the people participating in this game are and how many alcoholic drinks have already been drunk).

"Balloon"

Several chairs are placed in a row, on which the men participating in the game sit. Each of them inflates a balloon and places it on their lap. The girls' task: to burst the balloon in the shortest possible time, squatting on their man's lap. It is prohibited to touch the ball with your hands. For the New Year 2019, this competition will cause a lot of positive emotions.

"The Cunning Wife"

To conduct this game, several couples are selected, not necessarily family ones. The ladies leave the room for a while. At this time, men need to hide 10 bills in various secret places of their clothes (pockets, socks, sleeves, etc.). Girls need to quickly discover all the “stashes” that were hidden by a man. Prompting and helping is prohibited. The pair that completes the task the fastest wins. For young people, this entertainment will be a real find.

"Find the pin"

This entertaining competition, which we offer for the New Year 2019, is similar to the previous one, only instead of the bills that men hid, women must fasten 10 pins to elements of their clothing. Men, in turn, need to find all the pins on their lady’s clothes as quickly as possible.

"Tutti Frutti"

For the game, youth need any fruit juice and bananas. Several couples participate here, the man needs to drink a glass of juice, and the woman needs to eat a banana. At the same time, both the glass of juice and the banana should be held between the knees of the woman/man. The couple that completes the task the fastest is declared the winner and receives the title “The Most Passionate Couple.”

"Portrait of my beloved"

Men are given a piece of paper, a pencil or a felt-tip pen and are blindfolded. In three minutes, each of them needs to draw a portrait of their beloved woman. At the end of the competition for the New Year 2019, the rest of those present choose the best portrait that has the maximum similarities.

"My home responsibilities"

On small pieces of paper, youth should write the following phrases:

• I take out the trash
• I pick up the children from kindergarten,
• watering the flowers
• I make the bed
• I am washing the dishes,
• I wash my socks
• I do homework with the children,
• making breakfast,
• I make money
• I go to the spa salon,
• I drink beer with friends on weekends,
• walking the dog
• I do a gorgeous manicure,
• watching football in a sports bar,
• I go shopping with my friends,
• I visit the zoo with my children,
• I work out in a fitness club, etc.

The more activities of this kind are written, the more interesting and original this competition will be. All notes are placed in a bag or bag and mixed. Each participant in the competition takes out one piece of paper and reads what is written on it. He will certainly have to do this activity throughout the New Year 2019.

"Flexibility Test"

You must first prepare pieces of paper on which various parts of the body will be indicated: arm, shoulder, knee, ear, nose, etc. All pieces of paper are placed in two containers. The pairs participating in the game take out one piece of paper and touch each other with the part of their body that is indicated. Then they take out one more and perform both the current and the previous task simultaneously. The game continues as long as young people have enough flexibility.

"Dress Up"

To conduct this competition for young people for the New Year 2019, you will need one ball of colored ribbons for each participating couple. The woman holds this ball, the man's hands are tied behind his back. His task: to grab the edge of the tape with his lips and wrap his lady around it. The winner is the couple whose outfit turns out to be cooler and who completes the task faster than everyone else.

"Hold the ball"

Prepare your tennis ball first. To participate, two teams of 5 - 8 people are formed. Teams line up facing each other. Task: players need to pass the ball to each other, holding it under their chin. You can touch each other in any way you like, just not with your hands. The one who drops the ball is eliminated from the competition. This type of game can be used as entertainment at school at a New Year's party.

“Drink and have a bite”

This type of competition for young people for the New Year 2019 is best held at a time when all the guests are sitting at the table. This entertaining game must be prepared in advance. On pieces of paper you should write the word “Drink” (from which, in fact, the participants must drink an alcoholic drink). The number of pieces of paper must correspond to the number of guests. These blanks should be placed in a box with opaque walls. The next row of notes should contain the word “Snack” (what those present should snack on). They should also be placed in a separate box. Then guests must take one piece of paper from each box. What is written on them must be followed.

Sample ideas for “Drink” notes:

• from a glass;
• from a spoon;
• from a teapot;
• from a boot;
• from a paper bag.

Sample ideas for “Snack” notes:

• candy;
• smell your hair;
• licking the spoon;
• do not touch food with your hands;
• choosing food with your eyes closed.

This is how you can spend your holiday time in an original way, bringing pleasure not only to yourself, but also to your friends. Have fun until you drop, because, as they say, how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it! And 2019 is no exception!

Finally

Our article has now come to an end, which has provided you with many funny ideas on how you can hold competitions for young people for the New Year 2019 in a large company. The main thing is to think through everything in advance, treat this task responsibly and carefully. After all, the mood of all guests present at the celebration will directly depend on what scenario of New Year’s games and entertainment you create. Happy holiday, dear friends! Laugh so that everyone around you will be infected with your laughter!

New Year is a magical holiday. Many adults and all children are looking forward to it. An entertainment program will help you celebrate the New Year in the company of family and friends. To do this, you need to prepare table and outdoor competitions in advance.

Interesting and cool games for corporate parties will also help to entertain and unite the team at the New Year's party. A festive matinee in a kindergarten or school would not be complete without fun and funny competitions for children.

Game "Upside down"

The presenter asks the players one by one questions in poetic form. The participants' task is to answer funny in rhyme and name the correct answer. Long thoughts lead to dropping out of the game. Hints from other participants are also prohibited (whoever gave a hint leaves the game). The last player remaining wins.

Examples of questions and answers:
Down from the branch
On the branch again
Jumps quickly... cow (monkey)

The competition involves male-female pairs. Each pair receives 2 apples. Partners stand in front of each other. Then all participants are blindfolded. The essence of the competition is to eat an apple from your partner's hand as quickly as possible. At the same time, you cannot feed yourself. The winner is the pair that gnaws each other's apples faster than the rest.

A minimum of 3 male-female pairs participate in the competition. A handkerchief is tied around the neck of one of the partners (in a loose knot). As soon as the music starts playing, the second participant must, without using his hands, using only his teeth, untie the scarf around his partner’s neck. It is forbidden to help him. The pair that completes the task faster than the rest wins.

To conduct the competition you will need empty wine or champagne bottles, pencils and strong thread. As many players as there are empty bottles can participate.

The bottles are placed in the middle of the room in a circle. Competitors use a long thread to tie pencils to their belts so that they hang almost to their knees. It is very important that the pencils are on the back side of each participant. With these dangling pencils, players must hit the bottleneck. You can squat, kneel, bend. You can't help with your hands. The winner is the participant who gets the pencil into the bottle the fastest.

Game "Snowman"

Anyone can participate in the recreational relay race. To play, you need to prepare an easel and attach whatman paper to it. On a large sheet of paper, you need to draw a big snowman in advance, but forget about such a detail as the nose. It should not be drawn, but separately cut out of colored paper and given a cone shape.

Participants take turns approaching the easel. They are blindfolded and given a snowman's nose, which is secured with double-sided tape. Then the players are given a good spin and told to attach the nose to the snowman. The winner is the one who sticks the part in the right place on whatman paper.

Participants are divided equally into 2 teams. Trays are placed at both ends of the room. At the beginning of the room there are two empty ones, and at the end - filled with tangerines (the same number on each tray). The first two players from each team are given a tablespoon. The participants’ task is to run to a full tray with a spoon, put one tangerine on it without using their hands, and slowly bring it to their team’s empty tray. If the tangerine falls, you need to pick it up with a spoon and continue the relay race. Whichever team transfers all the tangerines from the full to the empty tray the fastest will win.

Game "Hibernating Bear"

To play the game you will need 3 gymnastic hoops. A group of children plays the role of bunnies, and one child plays the role of a hibernating bear. When the music starts playing, the bunnies go for a walk. They jump near the bear, trying to wake him up. They can sing, dance, laugh, clap and tap their feet on the floor as long as the music plays. When the musical accompaniment subsides, the bear wakes up, and the bunnies hide in hoop houses lying on the floor. If there is a large group of guys, and there are only 3 hoops on the floor, you can hide in them in twos or threes. The bunny that was caught by the bear (who did not have time to hide in the hoop) begins to play the role of a bear. The game continues until interest disappears.

The game involves 10 people. For the competition you will need 9 chairs. All chairs should be placed in a large circle. It is better if they stand at a certain distance from each other. Participants, having heard the music, begin to walk in a circle. You cannot hold on to the back of a chair. At the end of the musical accompaniment, the children quickly sit on chairs. The participant who does not have enough chair is eliminated. After 1 player is eliminated, 1 chair is also taken. At the end of the competition, 2 participants and 1 chair remain. The one who sits on the last chair wins.

The competition involves 2 teams of 2 people. Each group receives large balloons, double-sided tape, scissors and markers of different colors.

The participants' task is to connect the balls using double-sided tape to make a snowman. Then you need to decorate the snowman and prepare him for the New Year. You can draw his eyes, nose, mouth, hair, buttons, or any other element. You have 5 minutes to complete the task.

Dikmi: What is the main thing for you in the New Year's entertainment program? For me personally, there are three criteria for a good script: clear rules, a minimum of props and the ability to involve as many participants as possible. In short, it’s simple, cheap and versatile. I have prepared just such a selection of entertainment for the coming year for you! You can assume that today I am trying on my Santa Claus costume! And I give you magical gifts!

To ensure that your company doesn’t get bored during the New Year’s party, you need to think in advance about a fun program that includes interesting competitions. As a rule, such moments enliven any event, allow participants to feel at ease and get to know each other better.

It is desirable that more people participate in the entertainment - then laughter and fun will contribute to a good mood on New Year's Eve, driving away boredom and drowsiness.

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 with their backs facing 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.

4. New Year's songs

For this competition you don’t even have to leave the table. The whole company is divided into two teams. A draw determines which group starts first.

The essence of the competition is to remember all the songs about the New Year, Christmas tree, Christmas, winter, snow, blizzard, and sing a verse of each. The group that remembers the most songs 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.

5. Wish fulfillment competition

This competition must be prepared in advance as follows. A note with some task on a New Year's theme is inserted into the balls, for example: “Show the Kremlin chimes”, “Show the dance of snowflakes”, “Draw a 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.

If a participant does not want to complete this task, the team receives minus 1 point. Together with each participant, everyone present can complete the task, competing in the quality of the reproduced scene. The most active team wins.

6. New Year's ABC

This competition can be held right at the festive table. The host of the holiday announces that he wants to check whether everyone remembers the alphabet.

Each of the participants takes turns saying Happy New Year to all participants, starting a phrase with one letter of the alphabet, with “A”. For example, “A” - “Let’s wish Happy New Year to all the ladies present!”; “B” - “Be healthy and happy in the New Year!”

The culmination of this competition will be attempts to come up with phrases starting with the letters “b”, “f”, “b”, “j”. Clever and resourceful participants in the competition must somehow get out of the situation or laugh it off.

7. Snowball fight

For this competition, a sufficient number of “snowballs” are made from cotton wool in advance. All those present are divided into two teams and stand on opposite sides of the hall.

At the command of the leader, both teams begin to throw prepared snowballs at each other, noise, turmoil, and laughter arise. Then, at the leader’s command, the “war” stops. Each team must collect all the “snowballs” that fell on its side of the hall. The group that scores the most wins.

Then this competition can be continued with comic tasks - participants of both teams compete in carrying the “snowball” on the head, on the chest, on the back - in such a way that they do not hold it with their elbows or hands, and so that the “snowball” does not fall to the floor.

8. Santa Claus sneezed

This competition is not held to determine the winners, but to create general fun and laughter.

All those present are divided into three groups. First, the participants of each group are told that, upon a certain command - for example, by waving a “magic wand”, they must each shout out their magic word. These words are for three teams - “achi”, “eyes”, “cartilage”.

The teams must shout these words synchronously, all together, and the one that shouts their word louder than the others will win. At special signals, the teams shout their words all together.

As a result, all this noise will look like a giant sneezing. The presenter can further excite and amuse the participants of this competition by responding to every “sneeze” - “Be healthy, Grandfather Frost!”

9. Rolling snowballs

This competition is held between male + female pairs.

Gentle music plays and the participants dance a slow dance. Then the music stops, the host gives the couples small balls, which he places between the bellies of the ladies and gentlemen.

At a special signal from the host of the competition, more energetic music begins to sound, and the partners try to use the movements of their bodies to roll the ball to the chin so as not to drop it or touch it with their hands.

10. Festive conveyor

From among those present, five participants are selected into two teams, they are given names: “open it,” “pour it,” “drink it,” “have a bite,” “close it.”

On the tables for two teams at the end of the hall there are bottles of sparkling water (for adult groups - with champagne or wine), a glass, and a sandwich.

At the starting signal from our presenter, the first participants run from the starting mark to the tables and open the bottle. 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.

The team that is more careful and completes this relay race will win.

As an option, teams may have not five participants, but, for example, three or seven. Sandwiches can be prepared in groups of three, and the relay race can be carried out until three laps have been completed, from opening the bottle to closing it.

11. Boxing ring

Two participants are called to the “stage” and will compete with each other. The presenter announces that now there will be bloody fights between two real men. Participants are given boxing gloves.

The presenter accompanies the putting on of gloves and the preparation process with phrases that “warm up” the audience: “Real men fight to the last!”, “The ring will show who is stronger!” Participants can be stripped to the waist, allowed to warm up, jump, and box in the air.

When the participants are warmed up and ready to “fight” each other, they are given... each candy in a wrapper (placed on the tables). At the starting signal “ring”, our “boxers” must try to quickly unwrap this candy with gloved hands, without dropping it from the table, and eat it.

The task with candies can be replaced with another task: with your hands in boxing gloves, unfasten the buttons on the lady who is previously wearing a dressing gown.

12. Queen of New Year's Eve

What fairytale evening would be complete without a queen? So on New Year's Eve, the participants will have to choose their main prom queen. To do this, of course, it is necessary to dress the queens in appropriate clothes, for which each team is given 1-2 rolls of toilet paper.

The teams’ task is to create a “royal robe” for their main “queen” within a certain period of time, for example, while all the other participants are singing some New Year’s song.

The winner is the team whose “queen” outfit is better than the other “queens”.

13. Dancing with balloons

When it's time to dance at the New Year's party, participants can be offered a very funny competition. All dancers have a balloon tied to their left ankle.

The essence of the competition is to, while dancing, protect your balloon from the feet of other participants, and at the same time, try to “burst” their balloons.

Such “dances” turn into a cheerful romp that gives a good mood and general fun.

14. Fun questions - funny answers

This competition requires little preliminary preparation. From thick paper or cardboard, you need to cut cards of the same size, an even number, approximately two to three times more than the number of participants in the future party. On half of the cards you need to write a wide variety of questions, putting them in a separate deck. 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 my favorite activity,” “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.

15. Snow lady of dreams

This competition can also be held with real snow - if it is slightly damp outside, or if large portions of snow are brought into the hall on trays for the competition. An option without snow is to sculpt a “dream lady” from cotton wool or padding polyester.

Divide all participants into teams. Each team is given “material” for modeling, and the start is announced. The team must “sculpt” a beautiful sculpture of a real beauty as best as possible, faster than their opponents. In the process of “sculpting” you can use your own things, products from the table.

The most beautiful and original “sculpture” wins.
