In this material, we present New Year's fun with which you can entertain your guests. In order for the participants to be enthusiastic about participating in games and competitions, let them first get used to it a little: chat, sit at the festive table, have a drink. And only then invite everyone to participate in entertainment program evenings.

"This item is needed to..."

The host calls the participants any object (for example, a blanket, a pen, etc.), and they must take turns saying how the hidden thing can be used, starting the phrase with the words: “This item is needed to ...” The game becomes interesting, when all the obvious functions of a thing end and you have to invent them on the go. The one who could not come up with a use for the thing lost.

over bumps

This game is suitable for the moment when the feast is coming to an end and the guests want to warm up a bit. Two or three participants are given two sheets of paper. These are “hummocks”, and the floor in the room is a “quagmire”. It can only be crossed by stepping on each sheet in turn, and moving the other forward. Players must cross the "bumps" to the other side as quickly as possible without stepping on the floor.

Fanta

An old and familiar game that you can change a little. Participants can get puffballs out of the "hat" with funny tasks: depict an animal - a symbol of the coming year, sing new year song, loudly call the Snow Maiden, etc. This, so to speak, is the traditional approach to this game.

But you can slightly modify the meaning of "Phantoms". Write on the pieces of paper various states of a person, but try to pick up only original and funny ones. For example, “puppy delight”, “stormy raskolbas”, “languid thoughtfulness”, etc. The player who pulled out the phantom must depict what was written without words, and the rest of the participants must guess what he is showing.

color kaleidoscope

This game is movable and can be played by at least 5 people. Children love this kind of entertainment. After the facilitator calls out the colors (for example, yellow, then red, etc.), the players must grab some object of the named color. The host at this time counts to three. Who does not have time - leaves. The pace of the game can be increased, and its complexity increases.

blind artist

The players are divided into pairs in random order, one of the two partners is blindfolded and given a pen, pencil or felt-tip pen. "Blind artists" should hold their drawing device in an outstretched hand. The second participants are given sheets of paper, the topic of the future creation is reported. It can be from the simplest (draw a geometric figure) to quite complex (create a New Year's landscape). Then the "sighted" partners return to their pairs and begin to draw, moving the sheet around the writing object held in the hand of the second participant. At the same time, the “blind artists” themselves should not move their hand. After the end of the competition, their eyes are untied, and the winners are determined by the best and most accurately reflecting reality drawing.

football players

The host announces to the guests that a competition for the best football player will be held, and everyone can participate in it. Then balloons are distributed to the players. The task is to prevent the “ball” from falling to the floor for a certain amount of time (for example, 3 minutes). Someone will "mint" the ball with his head, and the most ingenious will simply blow on it from below, thus supporting it in the air. If it is not possible to identify a clear winner, then the game can be complicated: give the “football players” one more “ball”. The winner is the one whose balls do not fall on the floor.

Oh those fairy tales! Oh those storytellers!

This competition develops oratory skills and Creative skills participants. Names should be written on the cards. different fairy tales(for example, you can take "Kolobok", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Sleeping Beauty", etc.). Each player pulls out one piece of paper and remembers the plot of the fairy tale he got. Then the participants should tell what they remembered to the audience, but at the same time they should adhere to a certain genre (which can also be written on a card). For example, "Little Red Riding Hood" will sound differently in the detective genre, "Sleeping Beauty" or "Snow White" - in the melodrama genre. The most inventive storyteller wins.

Fair-selling men

To conduct this competition, at least three men will be required, for each of them “sellers” are selected: one or more women. As props, you need to provide participants with bright scarves, pieces of fabric, various jewelry, and cosmetics. The first task of the girls is to dress up their "product" as best and original as possible. You can create some recognizable image: for example, Casanova. This task will take no more than 3-5 minutes to complete. Then the "sellers" must advertise the "product" to potential buyers, they may even hold an impromptu auction. The team that does the best job wins a prize.

Too touchy and impressionable in this game is better not to participate - it's a shame when they don't share with you! Participants stand in a tight circle facing each other, while their hands should be behind their backs. The leader becomes the center. The players begin to imperceptibly pass an apple from hand to hand (with other culinary preferences, it is possible to replace an apple with a banana, cucumber, a piece of sausage, in the end). A person who has fallen into the center of the circle must guess who has the fruit in this moment. The difficulty is that you also need to bite off a piece of an apple - naturally, when the driver does not see. If the lucky owner of the fruit is "caught red-handed", then it is his turn to stand in the center of the circle. And so it continues until the main subject of the game is eaten entirely.

"Show Elephant"

Very funny, but quite a tough prank. The host starts a well-known game: you need to guess the animal, depict it without words, and all those gathered must understand who the participant is portraying. The facilitator leads the unsuspecting victim out the door and explains that an elephant (or any other animal that is easy enough to depict) will need to be shown. At the same time, you need to have time to inform the rest that the player will portray such and such an animal, and their task is in no case to name, “not to guess”, offering any other versions. Then, for some time, you can enjoy the sight of a surprised participant who cannot understand in any way whether he himself depicts an elephant poorly, or whether no one has ever seen this animal. The main thing is not to torment the victim for too long.

Two halves

The players are divided into pairs. The host announces the simplest, at first glance, task: cut a snowflake out of paper. Participants are given scissors and paper. If you are afraid that guests will cut themselves with scissors, then distribute bundles, wrapping paper and a bow. In this case, you will need to wrap the "gift". Then the partners should hug each other, hug, leaving only one arm free. Thus, the "halves" interlock into one two-armed whole. And now they must complete the task. Those who do their job faster and better than everyone else win.

New Year's Dictionary

It is necessary to prepare in advance cards with all the letters of the alphabet, except for Ъ, b, b, s, th opaque container. The host announces the preparation for printing of the Special Holiday Dictionary. Each participant in turn takes out one card and immediately names the word of the New Year theme, starting with the extracted letter. It is also desirable, together with all the players, to come up with a funny interpretation of this word. All concepts are written down so that later it would be possible to create a Dictionary in memory of the celebration.

New Year's songs

The host puts the words related to the holiday written on separate pieces of paper into an opaque bag or into a hat: “herringbone”, “icicle”, “snowman”, “hoarfrost”, “frost”, “snow”, “dance”, “gift” and etc. Participants take turns pulling out cards, and then trying to remember and sing lines from a song with a given word, receiving points for this. The winner is the one who scores the most points, i.e., remembers more songs.

snow shooting range

In advance, you need to prepare as many "snowballs" as possible - balls rolled from paper, cotton wool or, better, made from papier-mâché. You can use ping pong balls as snowballs. Participants are divided into two or more teams. Several people (one from each group) stand on chairs - now they are "targets". Opponents are trying to hit the target with "snowballs". At the same time, players on chairs can move, in every possible way dodge "enemy projectiles". The most accurate team wins.

In winter conditions

As you know, in order not to freeze in winter, you need to dress warmly. Invite your guests to see if they have a chance to survive the harsh winter frosts. Participants put on the given warm mittens and bathrobes. Their task is to fasten all the buttons as quickly as possible. The one who completes the task the fastest is the winner. The rest must be saved from the cold in another way - pour a glass of something intoxicating.

Leap into the future

Draw a “scale” in advance: you need to turn a long strip of paper (you can use wallpaper or toilet paper) into a kind of large “ruler”, that is, mark it in centimeters.

Now connect your imagination and write some New Year's wish or prediction near each mark.

It will be great if you write something humorous.

Participants will have to jump from a place in the long jump, see how much they jumped, and find out what awaits them next year.

Understand me

This game is similar in essence to the television show that was on our screens a few years ago. The participants are divided into two teams (at least 4-5 people in each). Teams line up in two rows. The facilitator passes to the first participants the cards on which the phrases are written, preferably more intricately. It is necessary to quietly and quickly transfer the contents of the card to the next player's ear. He tells the next one, and so on. The last participant must say out loud what he heard. The team that completes the task the fastest and, of course, does not lose the meaning of the phrase during the transfer wins.

Sensation

The host will need to prepare for this game in advance. It is necessary to cut out various phrases from newspapers, preferably funny or ambiguous, and stick them on cards. Then these cards are distributed to the guests, and they will need to make a coherent story out of them.

It will be fun, especially if the prepared passages concern politics, show business, and many other areas of life; You can even take the endings of jokes.

And the further development of the game will depend entirely on the imagination of the participants.

Who said "woof"?

All participants stand in a circle, in the middle stands the blindfolded driver. At the command of the "blind" the round dance begins to move in a circle, at the other command it freezes. The participant standing in the center must point blindly at any other player, who barks once. After that, the driver must guess who he pointed to. If he is right, then the "barking" takes his place, and the game continues. The task may be too difficult, because short word difficult to identify the speaker. Then "Wow!" can be replaced with the phrase "Happy New Year!".

Now prove it!

The facilitator writes down the intended word on a piece of paper in advance (for example, “Santa Claus”, “Christmas tree” or something else on the New Year theme). All those gathered must, without knowing what was hidden, say what this object looks like. Then the host announces the word, and now each participant must prove that the hidden thing really resembles what he compared it with. For example, "Santa Claus is like a sofa because he is just as big and soft."

Long before coming New Year holidays many of us start thinking about how to spend the holidays, but most often it's about outfits and venues. You should not forget - the feast will be much more fun and provocative if you organize funny contests who will become out of place in a noisy company with friends and in the family circle.

When choosing contests for the New Year, you should pay attention to the temperament and shyness of the company members so as not to put people in an awkward position. Alternate active competitions with intellectual ones - it will be interesting for all guests.

Competition "Pass the ball"

Cool competition for a fun company. Before the competition, stock up and inflate long thick balloons. Thin balls used in the creation of figures are also suitable, but they are much more difficult. Next, we collect two teams of men and women. The more diverse and numerous the team, the more interesting it is to participate and observe the competition. The players of the team stand one after another, forming a line.

The host gives the ball to the first player, it should be clamped between the legs and, without the help of hands, with one foot pass it along the entire line to the last participant. It is possible to complicate the task and limit the time of the competition - to transmit only at the moment when the music is playing. New Year's contests such a plan always goes with a bang.

Bon appetit game

Games and contests for the New Year are also being developed on the basis of already known ones. This game is based on the rules of everyone's favorite children's fun about edible and inedible, this is a suitable game for the New Year. You can, as in childhood, throw the ball to the player, or you can just walk around and ask.

There are no teams in the game, everyone plays for himself.

In advance, the host thinks of a few unfamiliar words and calls them mixed with frequently used familiar nouns.

For example, unfamiliar edible words are:

• kassule - bean stew with meat;
• shpundra - pork in kvass;
• ahoblanco - cold Spanish soup;
• Kalya - an old Russian soup made from fatty fish with the addition of pickles;
• rosetta - thin, deep-fried biscuits.

• demitasse - 80 ml coffee cup with thick walls;
• Musle - a wire on a bottle of champagne;
• curvimeter - a device for measuring the length of winding lines on paper;
• decanter - a vessel for serving wine;
• pendeltyur - a door on canopies that opens in both directions.

The presenter in turn calls the words to the contestants and if he answers correctly, then the guests wish him a pleasant appetite and the competition is considered successfully passed.

Creative skills competition

Instead of active competitions, it is worth holding a calm new New Year competition, which allows you to unleash the creative potential of the contestants. Guests should be divided into teams or distributed among tables, and the teams should be invited to compose an autobiography of some fairy-tale hero.

Texts should be read in the first person. That is, as a result of the competition, frank facts from the biography of Thumbelina, Spider-Man, Snowman and many other New Year's characters will be revealed. Games for the New Year are always fabulous and interesting.

New Year's recipe for happiness

Will you make a wish for the New Year?

YesNot

A fun competition for the New Year is the next one. Several participants in the competition are selected, each is given a few minutes to compile an exciting and interesting recipe for happiness. The recipe might look like this: take a pinch of happiness, add two scoops of luck and wealth, deep-fry health and serve on a plate, putting luck and family happiness next to it. The dish is served with white sparkling understanding.

Here in such a comic form, the participants read out their recipes for happiness, and the guests decide with applause whose recipe was the best. As you can see, the ideas of New Year's contests are sometimes very creative.

Redemption from Baba Yaga

The host, before the New Year's game, dresses up in the costume of Baba Yaga or some other malicious character, goes into the hall and starts to scare the guests and children. He jumps up, says that he will eat all the children at the holiday and generally behaves not in the best way.

For this game, the costumes of any villains are suitable.

Yaga tells horror stories about how she will hide the children in a swamp in a hut on chicken legs, they will be guarded by crocodiles, and the children will cry and ask to go home. But there is always a chance to escape and Baba Yaga will demand a ransom. Many small items should be requested as ransom, such as glasses, watches, ties, purses, lipstick, slice of sausage, fork, tomato and more. The guests should start the competition together and in as soon as possible find things and give Yaga at the mercy.

Bottle for close company

This is a funny New Year-themed contest, but it is worth holding it in the company of close friends who understand humor and are not afraid to seem ridiculous. 3 participants are selected, preferably men, a rope is tied around their waist with a pencil hanging from it, which ends up just above the knees. The pencil should hang down from the back.

An empty bottle of champagne is placed between the legs and further, to the cheerful music, the men try to get a pencil into the neck of the bottle. The competition is New Year's and quite funny - it will cause a storm of delight among the guests.

Competition for the best Santa Claus

For a funny contest, those who wish are selected from the hall and dress up as Santa Clauses. If there are no full-fledged costumes, then they put on something symbolic, such as hats, beards or mittens. Participants are invited to pull out a piece of paper from the box, where their phantom is written, describing the abilities of the hero.

Abilities are chosen as follows:

If there is no costume, you can wear something symbolic.

• the fastest;
• bravest;
• smartest;
• strongest;
• most kind;
• shy;
• Invulnerable;
• wielding magic and more.

Several minutes are given for preparation, during which the participant must come up with and then tell everyone a story from the life of the character, revealing his abilities. The best hero is chosen by applause and awarded with a prize.

“Dolphins in a snowdrift”

What would you choose?

Elite alcoholWatch box

The host recruits two teams of participants and puts two chairs with basins for the company. In the basins at the bottom are sweets, the number corresponding to the number of participants in the team. Pour on top in a basin a large number of snowflakes made of paper, cotton wool or other material.

When the start command sounds, the participants take turns running up to the chair, dipping their heads into the basin and taking out their candy with their teeth. The use of hands in the process is strictly prohibited. All participants must get the candy and the fastest team is declared the winner.

Game “I never…”

A very interesting game that came to us from the West, where it is very popular. A distinctive feature is its mass character, that is, all participants in the feast play. The participant rises and says a phrase beginning with the words:

I never. And then follows any fact from life. For example, I have never flown an airplane. And those guests to whom this phrase also applies take a sip from their glass. Then the second participant gets up and says: I have never slept naked on a train. And so on in a circle, however, it is worth remembering to be careful and inadvertently not give out the innermost secrets.

Competition "Who is cooler"

If you crack eggs without using your hands, it will be even more fun.

Men are selected as participants, a plate with eggs is placed in front of them according to the number of participants. It is announced that now men must choose an egg and break it on their foreheads, but at the same time one of the eggs is raw, and the rest are cooked.

The highlight of the competition is that in fact all the eggs are cooked and not raw. It is better to take no more than five participants, otherwise the guests begin to guess about the catch.

Competition "Superfluous overboard"

Any number of participants sit in a circle, and the host tells a story about how they fly in a balloon, but an overload has formed and one of those present should be thrown off. Further, the contestant must reasonably prove that he is a valuable individual and cannot be dumped. Arguments are recruited based on the profession, the special skills of the participant.

The weakest is poured a glass of vodka, which he must drink in one gulp, and in this way, as it were, they throw him off the side of a balloon. But you can also pour water, but only so that no one guesses.

Game "Drunken checkers"

Non-alcoholic drinks can also be used in this game.

A real checkers board is taken as a board, and stacks of white and red wine are used instead of checkers. They are placed on the field by color, and the game begins.

The process is no different from classic checkers, only the knocked out piece of the opponent should be drunk. Really complicate the competition by pouring vodka and cognac into shot glasses - such a game will not last long.

Game "Loved Neighbor"

The essence of the comic game is as follows: the host informs that the participants should say which part of the body of the neighbor on the right he likes and why.

When everyone has already told about such intimate details in a circle, the host happily announces - now you need to kiss your neighbor exactly in the place that you liked.

Competition "Christmas tree beads"

Did you learn something new from this article?

NotYes

Several teams gather and they are given paper clips, preferably multi-colored plastic ones.

In the allotted time, they must collect the paper clips into a garland and the team whose Christmas decoration will be longer will win.

Game "Podium"

Several participants are selected, the more, the better and more interesting. The facilitator distributes cards with the written names of the characters. For example, a bunny, a fox, a wolf, a Snow Maiden, a snowman and other famous heroes.

The task of the participants, without saying aloud who it is, is to walk around the hall and portray the gait, facial expressions, gestures of the one indicated on the card, and the guests from the hall must guess who they are shown. The participant who is exposed the fastest will win.

Bunny Squat Game

A company of people is chosen, in this case also, the more, the merrier. The facilitator whispers in his ear the names of two animals to the participants. For example, a fox and a bunny, a lion and a bunny, a bear and a bunny, and the like. Then the players stand in a circle and hold hands. When the leader announces the animal, the person to whom it belongs must sit down, and the task of the rest is to hold his hands, preventing him from doing so. It should be played at a fast pace so that the participants enter the rage.

Every second participant must be a bunny.

But the main secret of the competition is that absolutely everyone has a second animal - a bunny. And when all the animals have already been named in a circle, the moment comes to name the bunny and the participants try to sit down at the same time and prevent the neighbor from doing it. Get ready to see a group of serious people rolling on the floor and laughing merrily.

Competition “Hot News”

The game is calm, it is possible to play it without leaving the table. Participants are given cards with 5-6 words that are completely unrelated to each other in meaning. The task of everyone is to quickly compose hot New Year's news using all the words from the card. Laughter and applause will determine the winner. What to write on the card? Yes, anything, for example:

• China, rose, snow, scooter, Celentano;
• notebook, village, post, Wimbledon, zoo;
• pig, bed, chess, dress, health;
• fan, snowman, mat, winter, carrot;
• glasses, lamp, cat, stapler, barrier.

And how to make news, the presenter will show by his own example. The competition is very fun and will bring a lot of joy and good mood.

Conclusion

picking up competitive program for the New Year, it is worth remembering its diversity, so that each guest finds something interesting for himself and does not get bored all evening. To keep memories for a long time - take a photo and video of what is happening.

Believe me, later it will be very interesting to look at the shots where serious-looking people have fun like little children.

Shooting can be entrusted to shy people who do not want to take part in the games. And most importantly, take care of the prizes in advance, because it is much more interesting for guests to compete even for a small gift. This adds excitement to the game and is nice in itself!

New Year's entertainment for kids

For children, New Year's holidays are often held separately. Under the chiming clock, most often the kids are already sleeping or very naughty. Arrange a children's celebration separately.

And then it starts like on the TV program “Field of Miracles”, guests sitting nearby, friends, relatives, etc., shout “... a prize”, and the presenter offers to take the money (only in which case do not say that the money is from a joke store or otherwise the prize will be taken away very quickly and it will not be interesting to play). The task of the presenter is to keep the intrigue and hint that the gift is very chic, but the money has not bothered anyone yet, that you need to take it. The choice of a player can be made in different ways, whether it is a children's rhyme or according to some individual criteria. In order to make it interesting for all the guests, so that no one is offended (why they chose this or that player), you can play several prizes like this, but you will have to stock up on a large amount of money (even as mentioned earlier, you can not real money).

The most sensitive

Only women participate in the competition. Participants stand facing the audience. Behind each is a chair. The facilitator discreetly places a small object on each chair.

You can guess the number of identical objects placed on the chair (caramels, tangerines).

The task of the chosen one is to depict the hidden word without making a sound, only with gestures, facial expressions and plasticity of movements, so that his team can guess what was intended. After a successful guess, the teams switch roles. After some practice, this game can be complicated and made much more interesting by guessing not words, but phrases.

Whale

Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands. It is desirable that there are no beating, sharp, etc. nearby. items. The facilitator speaks the names of two animals into each player's ear. And he explains the meaning of the game: when he names an animal, the person who was told this animal in his ear should crouch sharply, and his neighbors on the right and left, on the contrary, when they feel that their neighbor is crouching, should prevent this by supporting the neighbor under the arms . All this is desirable to do at a fairly fast pace, without giving breaks. The joke is that the second animal, which the leader says to the players in the ear, is the same for everyone - “KIT”. And when, after a minute or two after the start of the game, the host suddenly says: “Keith”, then everyone must inevitably sit down sharply - which leads to prolonged wallowing on the floor. :-))

Masquerade

Various funny clothes are stuffed into the bag in advance (national hats, clothes, underwear, swimwear, stockings or tights, scarves, bows, diapers for adults, etc. Balls can be inserted into the bra). Selected DJ. It turns the music on and off at different intervals. The music began to play, the participants begin to dance and pass the bag to each other. The music stopped. Whoever has a bag left in his hands, he pulls out one thing and puts it on himself. And so on until the bag is empty. In the end, everything looks very funny.

"What do you like about your neighbor"

Everyone sits in a circle and the host says that now everyone should say what he likes about his neighbor on the right. When everyone tells these intimate details, the host happily announces that now everyone should kiss their neighbor on the right exactly in the place that he liked the most.

The participants of the game are given leaflets with the text of Nekrasov's poem

New Year's wall newspaper

A newspaper is hung in a conspicuous place on which, any of the guests,
can write what was good and bad in the past year.

Many of us think about how exactly to celebrate the New Year long before its onset - but often this only applies to the choice of outfit and 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 which company you plan to celebrate the New Year - in the family circle or with friends - after all, fun is appropriate everywhere.

Of course, it should be taken into account that there are very shy people, and participation in such events causes them to panic - treat other people's desires with respect, and if you see that a person is not inclined to take part in active competitions, then do not insist, believing that he will "get involved". In addition, in addition to active and mobile competitions, there are others that do not require special movement - for example, riddles for ingenuity. Choose a varied program in which any participant in the celebration will find something interesting for themselves! 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" - this way 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 by all guests for a long time!

Cool contests for the New Year

Competitions for the family at the table

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 hats), in which you should put papers with notes. So, put pieces of paper with the names of the participants in the prediction in one bag, and with the prophecies themselves in the other. The bags are passed around the table in a circle, and all the guests take a piece of paper from each. First, the name written on it is read from the first piece of paper, and then the prospects that await the owner of this name in the New Year are voiced from the second.

2. Honest recognition. 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 laughs, then the neighbor picks up the baton, and this continues in a circle until someone laughs. After that, the fun starts again laughing.

3. Phrases-congratulations. This is a very funny competition in which it is better to know when to stop. Fill your glasses and make a celebratory toast. The congratulation phrase should be pronounced in turn by each person sitting at the common table, but it is important that they begin with 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 spoken). The next round of toasts is allowed to start with the letter where you left off. Prepare small prizes in advance - each time one of them should be received by the person who came up with the funniest toast "for the circle".

4. Guess the riddle. For this competition, you should stock up on ordinary balloons, as well as small notes with funny riddles. Roll up the papers and put them inside the balloon, subsequently inflating it. The participant needs to burst the balloon and guess the riddle. If the answer does not sound from his mouth, 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?” (The ability to get rid of the “tail” in time), “How many pairs of shoes does a woman need to be happy?” (One pair more than already available), "What goes from one city to another, but remains without movement?" (road) and so on. You can either come up with such riddles yourself or download them below.

New contests for 2018 for adults

1. Drunk checkers. For this entertainment, you will need a real checkers board, only the checkers themselves are replaced by stacks. How to distinguish between white and black new-found "checkers"? Blacks are replaced with stacks of red wine, and whites with white. The rules are the same as in regular checkers, but if you get your opponent's checker, you will have to drink it! Of course, it is not necessary to use wine - it can be any alcoholic beverage, just different in color.

2. Carried. For this competition, you will need two radio-controlled cars. Play, respectively, two people, each of which puts on his typewriter a pile of alcoholic beverages. Now a certain point is randomly selected in the room, which will become the final destination for the cars. The goal is to drive your car to the finish line without spilling your drink. The winner drinks their stack. Then the baton passes to the next pair and so on.

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

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 napkins or paper towels (this material should be stocked up in advance). You will also need chairs according to the number of players, who, in turn, should be divided into two teams. The contestants of one team stand in a line on their chairs, and the participants of the second, in turn, try to hit the opponents with a snowball. By the way, the "targets" have the ability to dodge the snowball. When all the opponents on the chairs are defeated, the teams change places. The team with the highest performance will win (more snowballs reached the goal).

2. Roll the ball. Competition for several couples. Each team is given two balls, which are usually used to play 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 right leg of the partner to the left. The team that manages to cope faster wins.

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

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

5. Pop the balloon. For the game, heterosexual couples are chosen, who are given balloon. The “props” of the couples must be squeezed between their bodies, and at the sound signal the balls must be “bursted”. The couple that gets it right first wins. This is followed by the second round with a complicated task: the balls need to be “bursted” 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 the principle of this rather simple and exciting game. Participants are divided into two teams, each of which selects one person. The host says a word to the chosen ones, and they must “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 guesses first wins. To avoid suspicions 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 the meeting of the New Year, it is advisable to come up with words on this topic.

2. Bows. Funny and funny 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, on a 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 bows by touch and unties them. In the second command, similar actions occur. The company that completes the task first will win.

3. Blind drawing. The competition is played by two people. So, the participants are tied hands 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 draw 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 player who manages to more accurately portray the cheerful guardian of 2018 will win. Then the next pair of contestants enter the game, and the competition follows a similar principle.

4. Hat. Another exciting competition, in which absolutely everyone celebrating can become participants. The essence of the entertainment is quite simple - the players must pass each other a hat, putting it on the head of a neighbor without the help of the palms (you can use your elbows, mouth). The one who drops the hat is out. The winner is the participant who ends up alone. Of course, this game is unlikely to appeal to ladies who decide to make a complex hairstyle, but, as you know, New Year's hairstyles in 2018 imply simplicity and carelessness, so there should not be any particular difficulties.

5. Song in a hat. A very funny and memorable competition, which will especially appeal to people who love 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: Christmas tree, Olivier, cold, snowflakes, reindeer, and so on. Put all these candy wrappers in a hat, and invite each guest to take out a piece of paper in turn. Now the contestant must perform a small song, invented personally on the go, be 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 the symbol of the New Year

As you know, children like to portray various characters, so, for sure, they will take part in this competition with special enthusiasm. Tell the kids that the symbol of the upcoming New Year 2018 is a dog, and invite them to depict this animal, as well as talk 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, do not forget to prepare some sweet incentive prizes for the most diligent guys.

sweets

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

round dance

This game has many variations. For example, "Mice lead a round dance." First, with the help of a counting rhyme, you need to choose a “cat” among the children. "Cat" sits on a chair or directly on the floor, closing his eyes. Other participants turn out to be "mice", who begin to dance around the "cat", saying:

"Mice lead a round dance,
The cat is sleeping on the stove.
Hush mouse, do not make noise,
Don't wake cat Vaska
How Vaska the 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 its 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, all children will like such entertainment, but for it you should stock up on pieces 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 you don’t need to write anything in it - you just need a drawing. In this picture, invite the children to depict how they see the coming New Year and what they want. We can talk about some trips, gifts and the like. Immediately specify that, most likely, Santa Claus will not be able to fulfill all the desires, but he will still take some of them into account.

Making a snowman

Building a snowman is fun and exciting, even when it's not about winter activities on the street. 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). Now these players must act as one. Let the right hand of one kid and the left of the other act as if it were the hands of one person - the guys will have to make a snowman out of plasticine in this way. The task is quite difficult, but if the kids start acting 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, those very snowflakes will first need to be made. You can show yourself a master class on exactly how to cut these snowflakes, or just set the general direction and let the little ones do their thing. Even if the result is far from perfect, in no case do you need to declare it - together with the children, decorate the room with the snowflakes that they made (stick them to the window, hang them on strings to the chandelier, and so on). Also encourage the most beautiful works with sweet prizes.

Contest - guess the hero

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

hide and seek

Perhaps it is difficult to find a person who has never heard of such fun. However, the principle of this entertainment is quite simple and is already hidden in its name alone. So, while one kid counts, for example, up 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 again already on this one, or you can continue to search for other participants. The child who was discovered first, subsequently takes up the search himself, also counting to ten.

Fun entertainment for a corporate party

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

1. Mandarin relay. We offer a very interesting version of this entertainment, which requires two teams with the same number of participants. From each team, a player is put up, who puts a tangerine in a spoon, and holds the spoon itself 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 the spoon returns to the starting point. Having reached the landmark and back, the participant passes the spoon to the next player. The team that manages to complete the task first will win. Note that when transferring a tangerine, nothing can hold it.

2. Bottle. It's pretty famous game, which laid the foundation for many office romances. Whatever it was, but it's true 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 lying in the center of the circle clockwise. As a result, the player who set the bottle in motion will have to kiss the person whom, like an arrow, the stopped neck of the vessel will point to (or the person of the opposite sex closest to the pointer). After that, it is proposed to twist the bottle to the one who fell under “its sight”.

3. Comic forfeits with predictions about work. Many of us have a positive attitude towards 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 comic form. How exactly to give forfeits, it's up to you. Anyone can take a note with a prophecy from the bag. In addition, you can make a special fairly simple cookie with such predictions. Write only positive predictions related to work - about a salary increase, about new ideas, and the like.

4. Lottery competition. A very interesting lottery, which, for sure, will cause positive feelings among its participants. Having made a list of participants for the upcoming holiday in advance, ask each guest to come with their craft, packed in a colorful wrapper. However, for this draw 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 bundles, 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 never ...". A very popular and exciting game that you could see in some foreign films. Each member festive evening must utter a confession phrase that begins with the words: "I have never ...". Example: "I've never slept in a tent." People to whom this statement does not apply take a sip of wine. Further, a certain confession is made by the next participant in the party, and those guests, to whom the next confession is not related, again take a sip of wine. Phrases can be fun, but each time they should be more personal, such as: "I never slept naked." However, you should not get too carried away, so as not to give out your biggest secrets.
