Fun games and contests for adults on the New Year's Eve

Round dance

The players stand in a circle in the order "guy - girl", Santa Claus (presenter) - in the center. Santa Claus says: "Do I have good hands?" All answer: "Yes", take the neighbors' hands and walk around the presenter while the music is playing. As soon as the music stops, Grandpa asks again: "Is my belly good?" The players grab the bellies of the neighbors and continue the round dance. What else is good about Santa Claus and what you will have to hold on to while dancing depends on your mood and degree of intoxication.

Snowballs

For the game you will need "snowballs" (you can crumple napkins or newspapers, the more - the better) and chairs according to the number of players.

Participants are divided into two teams. Players of the same team line up on chairs. The task of the opponents is to choose the most accurate one, and he must send as many shells as possible to those standing on chairs from a distance of 10 meters. "Targets", in turn, can dodge. Then the teams change places.

The team with the most snowballs hitting the target wins.

Hockey

To play you will need the following props: children's plastic hockey stick and puck. Several couples participate: the woman depicts the goal with her feet, and the man must drive the puck into the "goal" from 3-4 meters. The winning couples advance to the second round, where men and women change places. The funniest thing about this game is the comments of the "hockey players" and fans.

The cycle

The players form 2 circles: outer - men, inner - women. The presenter announces what needs to be done to the players, and they complete the tasks. The nature of the actions is determined only by the presenter's imagination, for example: to say hello as a wife and husband after a long separation, to hug, strangle each other like a neighbor, scratch each other's ears, and so on. After each action, the outer circle moves clockwise.

Amazing creatures

Each guest is given a piece of paper. The player must draw a head from above - a person, an animal, a bird. Then the sheet is folded so that the image is not visible - only the tip of the neck remains. The drawing is transferred to the neighbor. Each participant in the game had a new sheet with an image that he did not see. Everybody draws upper part torso, again "hide" the drawing and give it to a neighbor in order to finish drawing the limbs on the new sheet received. And now you can unfold all the drawings and see which creatures are depicted on them. The host can announce a competition for the best story about amazing creatures.

Riddle Prize

Any item that can act as a prize is wrapped in paper. The content of any riddle is glued to the wrapper. This bundle is turned around again, and the riddle is glued again. This operation must be repeated 10 times. The players sit in a circle. The host gives a prize wrapped in ten wrappers in the hands of one. The player removes one wrapper, sees a riddle, reads to himself. If he guessed it, he says the answer, if not, he reads the riddle aloud.

Staff of Santa Claus

The chairs are installed in a row, with the seats alternately in different directions, and the players are seated on them. Santa Claus (driving) picks up his staff (mop) and begins to bypass those sitting on the chairs. If near someone he hits the floor with his staff, this player must get up from the chair and follow the driver. So Grandpa walks around the chairs, knocks here and there, and now he is followed by a whole round dance of "snowflakes" and a herd of "bunnies". The driver begins to move away from the chairs, walks in circles, like a snake; the rest repeat all movements behind him. Suddenly, at a moment unexpected for everyone, Santa Claus knocks on the floor twice. This is a signal for everyone to immediately take their places. And this is not so easy now, since the chairs look in different directions. The driver himself is trying to take the place one of the first. Now the driver is the one who did not get a chair.

Crawl to the Christmas tree

Several intersecting, intertwining "paths" are drawn on the floor with colored chalk. different color that end at the Christmas tree. Naturally, there is a prize under the tree. At the beginning of each path, a card is placed with a description of the way of movement: crawling, goose stride, backward, jumping on the left foot, without the help of legs, etc. The players, having chosen their "path", try to reach the end of the path as quickly as possible. in the way described in the card. Whoever gets there first is the winner.

New Year costume

The presenter calls two pairs and offers to make new Year costume using only newspapers, safety pins, clothespins and scissors. The winners are determined by other guests.

Forfeits from a bottle

At the party, everyone is given two or three sheets of paper, and everyone writes their wishes on them. For example: "Show snow woman that began to melt ", or" Kiss Santa Claus ", or" Perform a striptease at the Christmas tree. " Then these pieces of paper are rolled up and put into a bottle of mineral water or cola. Everyone who wants to sit in a circle and play with a bottle, but the rules are as follows: whoever points to the neck, takes out one note, reads the wish and fulfills it. The highlight of the game is that the player can get his own phantom, so a reasonable amount of sadism and masochism in coming up with desires is encouraged.

Close circle of friends

Prepare pieces of paper with the names of body parts, fold them so that they cannot be read, and put them in a hat. The first two players are pulled on a piece of paper and pressed with those parts of the body that are indicated in them. Then the third participant draws out a piece of paper that says which place he should touch, and so on along the chain. Then everything starts in the second round. In this case, the chain should not be broken. The first one grabs the last one, the second one grabs the first, and so on, until the paper runs out or until there is enough flexibility.

Ded Moroz and Snegurochka

In the room in front of the tree, all the girls present and the presenter remain. Everyone chooses a Christmas ball and remembers it. Then the men enter one by one. A man who enters, chooses any ball on the Christmas tree and, if he guessed any girl, drinks with her for brotherhood or takes off one piece of clothing from her. After all the men have chosen once, they again go out the door, and the girls change the hidden balls. The winner is the one who hits the same girl two (three, four) times. The winner becomes Santa Claus, and she, of course, is the Snegurochka-nude.

Many of us think about exactly how to celebrate the New Year long before its onset - however, this often applies only to the choice of outfit and the festive menu. And yet the celebration will be much more fun and entertaining if you have prepared exciting contests for the New Year. At the same time, it does not matter at all in what company you plan to celebrate the New Year - with your family or with friends - because fun is appropriate everywhere.

Of course, it should be borne in mind that there are very shy people, and participation in such events causes panic in them - respect the desires of others, and if you see that a person is not inclined to take part in active contests, then do not insist, believing that that he will "get involved." In addition, in addition to active and mobile contests, there are others that do not require special movement - for example, riddles for ingenuity. Choose a varied program in which any party to the celebration will find something interesting for himself! If you want your fun to be remembered for a long time, then do not forget to take a photo of what is happening. By the way, this task can be entrusted to especially shy guests who do not want to participate in the general "madness" - so they will feel like a part of what is happening and at the same time not feel tense or uncomfortable. In general, take care of the holiday program in advance, as well as small gifts for the winners, and your efforts will be remembered for a long time by all guests!

Cool contests for the New Year

Family table contests

1. New Year's predictions. For this part of the New Year's program, you should prepare in advance. You will have two bags at hand (you can replace them with caps), in which you should put pieces of paper with notes. So, in one bag put pieces of paper with the names of the participants in the prediction, and in the other - with the prophecies themselves. The bags are passed around the table in a circle, and all the guests take out a piece of paper from each. First, the name written on it is read from the first piece of paper, and then from the second, the prospects that await the owner of this name in the New Year are announced.

2. Honest confession. This game also requires preliminary preparation - write on small pieces of paper funny words(kikimora, deer, capricious, booger and so on). So, someone pulls out a candy wrapper with one of the words (for example, capricious), and with a serious face, looking into the eyes of his neighbor, says to him: "I am capricious." If no one laughed, then a neighbor picks up the baton, and this continues in a circle until someone laughs. After that, the fun begins again with a laugh.

3. Phrases, congratulations. This is a very funny competition in which it is better to know when to stop. Refill your glasses and give a birthday toast. The congratulatory phrase should be pronounced in turn by each person sitting at the common table, but it is important that they begin with the letters in alphabetical order(first, a toast is made with the letter "A", the next participant says a toast with the letter "B", and so on until everyone has expressed themselves). The next round of toasts is allowed to start with the letter you left off at. Prepare small prizes in advance - each time one of them should be received by the person who came up with the funniest toast "for a circle".

4. Guess the riddle. For this competition, you should stock up on regular balloons, as well as small notes with funny riddles... Roll up the paper and put it inside the balloon, then inflate it. The participant needs to burst the ball and guess the riddle. If the answers from his lips still do not sound, then he will need to complete the task invented by all the participants in the game. Examples of such funny riddles: "What does a student have in common with a lizard?" (Ability to get rid of the "tail" in time), "How many pairs of shoes does a woman need to be happy?" (One more pair than there is already), "What goes from one city to another, but remains motionless?" (Road) and so on. You can either invent such riddles yourself or download them below.

New contests for 2018 for adults

1. Drunken checkers. For this entertainment, you will need a real checkers board, except that the checkers themselves are replaced with stacks. How to distinguish between white and black newly appeared "checkers"? Replace the black ones with stacks of red wine, and the white ones with white. The rules are the same as in ordinary checkers, however, having got the opponent's checker, you will have to drink it! Of course, it is not necessary to use wine - it can be any alcoholic drinks, just different in color.

2. Drove. For this competition, you will need two radio-controlled cars. Play, respectively, for two people, each of whom puts a glass of alcohol on his typewriter. Now a certain point is randomly selected in the room, which will become the final point for the cars. The goal is to roll your car to the finish line without spilling your drink. The winner drinks his own shot. Then the relay passes to the next pair, and so on.

3. What's in my mouth. For the New Year's competition, prepare in advance a separate container with products that will be used in this experiment, but will not be on the festive table. Let it be seven to eight unusual foods. The player is blindfolded, and you give him a taste of this or that food - the competitor must guess at the first attempt what exactly is offered to him. Other products can be used with the next player. The winner is the one who gives the most correct answers.

Funny and interesting games

1. Snowballs. The competition will be held indoors, and, of course, not with real snowballs, but there is still an alternative - just crumple up napkins or paper towels (you should stock up on this material in advance). You will also need chairs for the number of players, who, in turn, should split into two teams. Competitors from one team line up on their chairs, and the participants of the second, in turn, try to hit their opponents with a snowball. By the way, the "targets" have the ability to dodge the snow. When all the opponents on the chairs are defeated, the teams change places. The team with the highest performance wins (more snowballs reached the goal).

2. Roll the ball. Competition for several couples. Each team is given two balls, which are usually played in ping-pong. The man should roll the ball from the left sleeve of the companion to the right, and the woman should roll the second ball from the partner's right leg to the left. The team that manages to cope faster wins.

3. Clothespins. Another game for couples. Competitors are blindfolded, and clothespins are attached to any part of the clothing of all players. After the beep, you must try to remove all clothespins from your partner. The winner is the pair that completes the task faster than the others. Of course, you need a leader who will supervise this process.

4. To the touch. Two players are blindfolded and thick gloves or mittens are put on their hands. Guests stand in front of each participant, and are given 10 seconds to guess by touch each guest. Players take turns playing. The winner is the participant who completes the task faster. Subsequently, the next pair of players is determined.

5. Burst the balloon. For the game, different-sex couples are chosen, who are given a balloon. Couples must squeeze the "props" between their bodies, and the balls must "burst" by a sound signal. The first pair to do it wins. This is followed by the second round with a complicated task: the balls must be “burst” with their backs or even priests.

New Year's contests for a fun company

1. New Year's crocodile. A well-known entertainment that will appeal to contestants of all ages! So, we remind you of the principle of this rather simple and addictive game. Participants are divided into two teams, in each of which one person is selected. The leader says some word to the chosen ones, and they should “show” it to their teams without making any sounds. The team that completes the task faster will win. You can play differently - one of the participants "shows" the word to everyone else, and the one who is the first to guess wins. So that there is no suspicion that the word was invented on the go, we recommend that you write it down in advance on a piece of paper. Since we are talking about celebrating the New Year, it is advisable to come up with words on this topic.

2. Bows. Amusing and hilarious fun. To participate in the game, you need at least six people so that they are divided into teams of three. The gender of the players does not matter. One of the participants stands in the middle of the room, while two of his teammates are blindfolded. One of the partners is given ten ribbons, and he, at the sound signal, must tie them on the one who is standing in the middle of the room. The second partner, who is also blindfolded, looks for the bows by touch and unties them. In the second command, similar actions take place. The winner is the company that completes the task earlier.

3. Drawing blindly. The competition is played by two people. So, the participants are tied behind their backs and placed behind them on an easel. Now the players must arm themselves with felt-tip pens (hands remain behind their backs) and depict on the canvas the symbol of the coming year - the Dog. The rest of the guests should act as fans and suggest in which direction the contestants should draw further - to the left, higher, and so on. The winner is the player who manages to more reliably portray the cheerful guardian of 2018. Next, the next pair of contestants comes into play, and the competition is held according to a similar principle.

4. Hat. Another exciting competition, in which absolutely everyone who celebrates can become participants. The essence of the entertainment is quite simple - players must pass a hat to each other, putting it on the head of a neighbor without the help of their palms (you can act with your elbows, mouths). The one who drops the headdress is eliminated. The winner is the participant who will end up alone. Of course, this game is unlikely to come to the liking of ladies who decide to make a complex hairstyle, but, as you know, New Year's hairstyles in 2018 imply simplicity and negligence, so there should not be any special difficulties.

5. The song in the hat. A very funny and memorable competition, which will especially appeal to people who like to demonstrate their vocal talents. In advance, you need to stock up on small pieces of paper, on each of which you should write a word. Since we are talking about a winter holiday, you can write words related to this topic: tree, Olivier, cold, snowflakes, reindeer and so on. Put all these candy wrappers in a hat, and invite each guest in turn to get a piece of paper. Now the contestant must perform a small song, invented personally on the go, making sure to use the word that he got several times.

Children's games for New Year's celebration

Check out our list of new fun activities for kids.

Draw a symbol of the New Year

As you know, children like to portray different characters, so, for sure, they will take part in this competition with particular enthusiasm. Tell the little ones that a dog is the symbol of the upcoming New Year 2018, and invite them to portray this animal and also tell about it. The participant who manages to most reliably show an adult dog or puppy will become the winner of the competition. However, there may be several winners. Of course, don't forget to prepare some sweet incentive prizes for the hardest guys.

Sweets

This game is more suitable for younger children school age, not for toddlers who have barely learned to walk. The fact is that this entertainment presupposes clear coordination of movements and the ability to control one's actions. Also note that only one child can play the game. So, first, hang a couple of your child's favorite sweets on the Christmas tree - the child should not see exactly where you placed them. Blindfold the baby and bring him to the tree, suggesting to find sweets on the tree for a certain time. Of course, the player will have to act very carefully so as not to damage the toys, the tree itself does not heap up, or does not fall on its own.

Round dance

This game has many variations. For example, "Mice dance in a circle." First, you need to choose a "cat" among the children with the help of a counting meter. The "cat" sits down on a chair or directly on the floor, closing his eyes. The other participants turn out to be "mice" who begin to dance around the "cat", saying:

"The mice are dancing around,
The cat is sleeping on the stove.
Quiet mouse, do not make noise,
Don't wake up the cat Vaska,
How Vaska's cat wakes up -
Will break the whole round dance! "

When the last words of the final phrase begin to sound, the cat stretches and on the last word "Round dance" opens his eyes and runs after the mice that are trying to escape. The caught "mouse" turns into a cat, and so on in a circle.

Drawing or letter to Santa Claus

Most likely, this kind of entertainment will appeal to all children, but for it you should stock up on sheets of paper and felt-tip pens or colored pencils in advance. Tell the children that now they have to prepare a letter for Santa Claus, but they don't need to write anything in it - they just need a drawing. In this picture, ask the children to depict how they see the future New Year and what they want. We can talk about some kind of trips, gifts and the like. Specify right away that, most likely, Santa Claus will not be able to fulfill all desires, but he will nevertheless take into account some of them.

Making a snowman

Making a snowman is fun and exciting, even when it's not about winter fun outside. For this game you will need softened plasticine. So, two participants get down to business, who sit at the table next to each other (you can even hug). These players must now act as one. Let the right hand of one kid and the left hand of the other act as if we are talking about the hands of one person - the children will thus have to mold a snowman from plasticine. The task is quite difficult, but if the kids start to act together, then everything will certainly work out!

Competition for the best snowflake

Most children love to do crafts with their own hands. Tell the children to decorate the room they are playing in with snowflakes. Of course, for this, you first need to make those same snowflakes. You can demonstrate yourself a master class on how to cut out such snowflakes, or you can simply set a general direction and let the kids act as they see fit. Even if the result is far from perfect, in no case should you declare this - together with the children, decorate the room with the snowflakes they made (stick them to the window, hang them on the strings from the chandelier, and so on). Also reward the most beautiful works with sweet prizes.

Contest - guess the hero

For this activity, have the young participants sit in a circle. Now ask the players each in turn to name the continuation of the name of the fairytale character, for example; "Zo (lushka)", "Red (Riding Hood)", "White (snow)" and so on. The child who could not give the correct answer is eliminated from the game, but those who stayed continue the competition. It is important for you to take into account the fact that you will have to ask a lot of questions, therefore you will have to prepare in advance by writing for yourself the names of the fairy-tale characters on a piece of paper. If there are a lot of children, then it is not necessary to wait until there is only one winner left - you can indicate in advance that, for example, the remaining three will win.

Hide and seek

Perhaps it is difficult to find someone who has never heard of such fun. However, the principle of this entertainment is quite simple and is hidden in its name alone. So, while one kid counts, for example, to ten, closing his eyes or hiding in one of the rooms, the other guys scatter around the house and hide. When the set time passes, the child goes in search of his friends - the one who is found first is considered the loser. You can start the game all over again at this point, or you can continue looking for other participants. The child who was discovered first, then he himself takes up the search, also counting to ten.

Fun entertainment for a corporate party

If you want your corporate party to be fun and memorable, check out some exciting games.

1. Mandarin relay. We offer a very interesting version of this entertainment, requiring two teams with the same number of participants. Each team member is assigned a player who puts a tangerine in the spoon and holds the spoon with both hands. Now the opponents must reach a certain landmark with a spoon and back to their team without dropping the citrus - if this happens, then the loser with a spoon returns to the starting point. Having reached the landmark and back, the participant passes the spoon to the next player. The team that will be the first to complete the task will win. Note that when carrying a tangerine, nothing can hold it.

2. Bottle. It's pretty famous game, which marked the beginning of many office romances. Whatever it was, but it really is fun entertainment... So, at least 4-6 people take part in the game, who should sit in a circle, after which one of them spins the bottle in a clockwise direction, lying in the center of the circle. As a result, the player who set the bottle in motion will have to kiss the person who, like an arrow, will point to the stopped neck of the vessel (or the person closest to the pointer of the opposite sex). After that, the bottle is offered to be twisted to the one who fell under "her sight".

3. Comic forfeits with predictions about work. Many of us have a positive attitude to various kinds of predictions, and some believe in them. The New Year has long been directly associated with all sorts of fortune-telling, and let your corporate evening be no exception, despite the fact that the predictions will be made in a humorous manner. How exactly to hand the forfeits is up to you. Anyone can take a note with a prophecy from the bag. In addition, you can make a special rather simple cookie with such predictions. Write only positive predictions related to work - about salary increases, new ideas, and the like.

4. Lottery competition. A very interesting lottery that will surely arouse positive feelings among its participants. Having compiled a list of participants in the upcoming holiday in advance, ask each guest to come with their craft, packed in a colorful wrapper. However, for this drawing it is not at all necessary to use crafts - we can talk about souvenirs or sweets in a certain price range. Stick numbers on all packages, and write the same numbers on small pieces of paper. Subsequently, each participant in the lottery will have to pull out his number from a special bag or just a hat.

5. The game "I have never ...". A very popular and addictive game that you might have seen in some foreign films. Each participant festive evening I must utter a confession phrase, which begins with the words: "I never ...". Example: "I have never slept in a tent." People to whom this statement does not apply take a sip of wine. Further, some recognition is made by the next party participant, and those guests to whom the next recognition is not related, again take a sip of wine. Phrases can be fun, but each time they need to be more personal, for example, "I never slept naked." However, do not get too carried away, so as not to give away your biggest secrets.

What holiday can be without laughter and Have a good mood?! Right! No! This is especially true of such an event as the upcoming New Year 2020. What is needed to create a unique and bright holiday? To begin with, the appropriate entourage: New Year's songs and music, winter themed decorations, delicious dishes, beautiful costumes, a sea of ​​champagne and a lot of guests! But that's not all!

It is necessary to check if it is loud enough so that the players cannot hear each other's speech. The first must ask the second a question, to which he, in turn, answers by reading his lips. After a certain period of time, the roles change. In this competition, victory goes to the one who understands the essence of most of the questions.

Game "Dangerous Dances"

To hold the competition, you will need from five to eight people, for each of whom you will need to prepare an already inflated balloon and something with which you can tie it. One ball is tied to the leg of one player. The task of each is to burst the balls of opponents. The last "survivor", whose ball remains intact, will win.
Competition "Race during the Sabbath"

This competition will require a certain amount of inventory. Prepare two handkerchiefs, two mops and two buckets in advance. An unlimited number of people can take part in the relay, but they must be divided into two equal teams, each of which is built at one end of the room. At the signal from the leader, the first of the line puts a scarf on his head as quickly as possible, sits on a broom and shoves one leg into the bucket, without using the command. In this form, the participant runs to the other end of the room and back, passing the baton to the next player in his team. Whichever one finishes faster - that one gets the victory.

Games that don't have to leave the table

Adults, even those in high spirits, are far from always ready to respond to the call to get up and move. They are shy, they do not want to, they are lazy, finally. Therefore, in order to stir up the company, it is worth starting with games that you can play while staying at the table.

Long live the translator!

For this quiz game, you need to spend an hour or two in advance preparation. Have you ever tried to translate the words of a familiar song or poem into an exotic language with the help of a google translator, and then back again? It turns out, of course, a non-rhymed phrase, but so unexpected that it takes your breath away!

For example, guess what it is? “A snowstorm sang a song for her, a fishy red dream, buy and sell, snow-covered snow, unfrozen” ... This is the phrase translated into Vietnamese and back, “A snowstorm sang her a song:“ Sleep, herringbone, bye-bye, ”the frost wrapped up with snow : "Look, don't freeze!"

Try experimenting, and you will find such options that everyone will laugh continuously! Prepare a dozen or a half of such translations in advance, and then read them out. Whoever guesses what it was will receive a prize. You can, of course, google all this right at the table in your smartphone, but then there is a danger that the rest will crawl into their gadgets.

New Year's screenplay

In this game, all participants write a joke together New Year's story... You can even without interrupting the feast. This is how it is done. The participants agree on what exactly they write: the script of an action-packed thriller, a magical New Year's fairy tale, tragicomedy or melodrama. The first author writes the opening line and passes it on to the second. He finishes the continuation below, and wraps the sheet so that only its line remains open. Each subsequent player does the same, wrapping the sheet all the time. It turns out that everyone ascribes their part, not seeing the entire previous heartbreaking work. You can even agree that each player is trying to turn the plot in an unexpected direction. Finally, the sheet is covered. We unfold it and read our New Year's script with expression. Better not all at once, otherwise you can get tired of laughing. We alternate this intellectual activity with raising glasses.

Like- I do not like

When everyone has already gotten a little tipsy, then the game goes with a bang, for which it is better for the guests to sit alternately: a young man - a girl. Everyone names what he likes and what he doesn't like in the neighbor on the right (or on the left, or both there and there - as the presenter wants). For example, you like the ears, you don't like the top of your head. When everyone has announced their preferences, the presenter offers to kiss what they like and bite what they don't like. Several minutes of screeching, squeaking, fussing and laughter at the table are guaranteed!

Associations

This is a psychological, sometimes even sophisticated game - to contrast with the previous one. The driver is chosen, who leaves the room for a minute. The rest "conceive" someone from the people present in the company. Next, the player enters the room and tries to guess who has been chosen. To do this, he asks leading questions. The question should be structured according to the type: "Masha, if it were a chair, what would it be?" “Sasha, if it were a piece of music (tree, house, flower, weather, curtains, book, dog ...), what would it be? The players think, weigh their associations with the person they have made up their minds, and answer. For example, "It would be an elegant chair with twisted cast iron legs." "It would be a classic medieval minuet." The one about whom all this is said, and everyone who listens to the answers, gets pleasure. The game goes on until the presenter guesses (it is better that he has no more than five minutes for this). Then, in his place, the one who was thought of is sent.

Relatively outdoor games

When everyone has already had a good meal and practiced their creativity in the process of drinking games, you can leave the table. At this stage, everyone has already become liberated, which means that those games in which you need to slightly pump your acting skills are perfect.

Director's findings

Choosing a reader. We thrust into his hands the text of a short fairy tale (you can take the smallest ones, like "Turnip", "Teremka", "Kolobok", or specially written, New Year's). We write out all the characters of the fairy tale from the text on sheets of paper, and these include inanimate objects (teremok, breeze, trickle, draft and even that ...). Then we fold the leaves, the actors blindly pull out a role for themselves, scratch their heads in puzzlement and figure out how they will play it. The presenter slowly, with expression reads the text. Actors come to life ...

Living sculptures

Remember the children's game "The sea is worried"? This is its logical continuation. All players stand in a circle, and one of them comes out in the middle. He takes a certain pose, getting used to a role known to him alone. The expression on the player's face, all facial expressions and appearance must correspond to this role. It is forbidden to speak and laugh to him and to the rest of the “sculptures” going into the circle. In this form, the first player freezes. Others are trying to figure out what this could mean. Then they go out one by one, completing the sculptural composition. At the same time, each subsequent player tries to destroy the idea of ​​the previous one, to put a new, unexpected meaning in the sculptural group. This is a very dynamic and vivid action, causing the audience to burst into laughter. The main thing is not to think too long. Ideally, the next player should be completed every ten seconds. After about a minute or a half, when there are already several players in the center and the others are in no hurry to finish building the composition, the presenter stops the game and invites the participants to tell what they imagined and how they completed the plot. This game is played with the same passion by teenagers and uncles over forty, there would be a desire to "show themselves."

Crocodile or Understand Me

All guests are divided into two teams. The first one thinks of a word or expression - as you agree. It is better to think of something well-known, for example, proverbs, sayings, or catch phrases from Soviet films. For example, related to the New Year and winter. The phrase is spoken in the ear to the messenger from the second team. And he, without words, exclusively with gestures and facial expressions, must explain this expression in such a way that friends can understand it and guess the phrase. The teams guess in turn.

Hat

This is a very popular guessing game. Papers with words written on them are folded into the hat. For the sake of the New Year, you can start the game with words associated with it, with winter, or with fairy tales. The first pair of players enter the center. One of them pulls out a note and tries to explain the word read to the other. However, he does not use single-root words and translations into foreign languages... The second has to guess. The rest are watching and also trying to understand what it is, but silently. The trick of the game is that it must be very dynamic. A round is given only half a minute, or a minute - as agreed. Then the next pair comes out. The highest aerobatics is achieved when guessing begins to take 10 seconds or even less. Time flies by and cheerfully.

Games with an erotic component

If the company is well-known and relaxed, then playing something frivolous and frivolous is not a problem. Yes, at some point, any company slightly warmed up with alcohol becomes quite suitable for such games, unless you are celebrating the New Year with your parents and grandparents.

Forgetful washerwoman

Several couples are invited to the center of the room. Each participant in the game is blindfolded. The pairs stand opposite each other, and the presenter (or better, several assistants to the presenter) attach 5-6 clothespins each to different parts of the players' clothing. Then the music turns on and, at the signal of the leader, the players must remove all the clothespins from each other. (Viewers should not be prompted for where to find them.) The couple who complete the task faster wins the competition. To increase the degree of relaxedness, you can attach five clothespins, and say that there were six of them. And let them look!

Sweet woman

Pairs are selected again. The girls lie with their backs on a horizontal surface (on a carpet, or chairs drawn together). Small cookies, or grapes, or mandarin slices are carefully laid out on it. Young people are offered to collect them with their lips without using their hands to romantic or erotic music. Further, the success of the competition depends on the artistry of the performers and the advice that the audience will give. Excitement and bursts of laughter are guaranteed!

the Forbidden fruit

The beginning of the game is the same. The girls lie with their backs on a horizontal surface (legs together, hands at the seams). We take an apple and put them as close to the girls' feet as possible. The task of the partners is to roll the forbidden fruit to the chin of the participant dying with laughter with their nose, without touching either the girl or the apple with their hands. If at some stage the apple rolled away, we start all over again (we take a new, clean apple). It turns out to be a lot of fun, because immediately after the start of the competition, the players have a lot of advisors, strategies for overcoming obstacles are developed, and so on. Whoever was the first to go all the way won. At the end of the game, you can add a final trick: the man must take an apple in his teeth and give the girl a bite of it. During the game, partners are not allowed to touch each other.

Oranges

Participants are divided into two teams with the same number of players. Each team is lined up in a chain, alternating: a boy-girl and so on. Now the first player in each chain takes an orange and holds it, pressing his chin against his collarbones. The task of the team is to pass the orange to each other along the chain to the very last player as quickly as possible, without using hands or dropping it on the floor.

Another variation of the same game is to pass the ball between the knees. It's fun too.

Princess on the Pea

This competition involves girls who have to determine by touch what is in front of them. More precisely, what is behind them, since they "feel" the object with a soft spot. There are two options for the game. First: the girls are put with their backs to the chair, their eyes are blindfolded and a small object is placed on the chair (a lump, an apple, a ball of thread, etc.). Gently and sensitively sinking onto it, they listen to their feelings and determine what it is. Of course, you can't use your hands.

Touching competition

The second version of the previous game: men sit on the chairs with their backs to which the girls are standing, and the girls, sitting down, must determine who is on their knees. At the same time, it is better to turn on music so that the sounds and rustles that the players make when changing seats do not make the task easier.

Adult naval battle

The next game is a fun and gambling mess with wrestling and kissing. You will need number cards and letter cards. Young people receive cards with numbers, and girls receive cards with letters. You cannot show them to each other.

The game takes place on the carpet. All players sit in a circle. And the driver lies on his back in the center. He calls an arbitrary combination of letters and numbers. For example: B2, or D6. If a guy is lying, then the girl under the letter B should have time to run up to him and kiss, and the guy with the number 2 should prevent her from doing this and kiss the girl himself. Obviously, if a girl is lying, then everything is repeated exactly the opposite. The one of the players who did not have time to complete their mission lies down on the floor and everything starts all over again. You can expand the rules of the game a little. For example, introduce the rule that you can kiss wherever you can reach. It will be even more fun.

Merry, active and not boring New Year to you!
