Funny, amusing competitions will allow you to have a good rest and have fun at new year party. For presenters tasked with organizing the entertainment part, we offer original selection games, competitions and quizzes for a festive corporate party scenario!

To New Year's celebration was more successful, we have made for you a selection of the most interesting competitions and fun.

Table

To begin with, we propose to include in the program New Year's corporate party At work there are cool competitions at the table.

What will Santa Claus give?

Attributes: small pieces of paper, pens (or pencils).

Before sitting down to the festive table, guests receive a small piece of paper and write down what gift they would like to wish for themselves in the new year. This could be, for example, a new apartment, a car, a dog, a trip, money, a lover...

The leaves are rolled up and placed in beautiful box, a hat... At some point in the evening, the presenter asks everyone to pull out a random piece of paper and find out what good Santa Claus has prepared for him for the next year. Everyone has different desires, so it will be fun! And your wish will come true if you save the piece of paper until the next holiday, and then tell about what came true.

You can attach the leaves with threads to a rope/fishing line and then, as you did in childhood, blindfolded and using scissors, cut off your wish. Another variation is to tie notes to balloons and hand them out to those present.

I want, I want, I want!... Branded want

Another game about wishes. But this time without attributes.

5-7 volunteers are called. They take turns naming their wish for next year. You need to speak quickly, without holding up the line! Stopping for more than 5 seconds means the player is eliminated. We play until we win - until the last player! (Small prize possible).

Let's raise a glass! New Year's toasts

When guests get bored in the midst of a feast, invite them not just to fill their glasses, but to make a toast or congratulations to everyone present.

There are two conditions - each speech must be one sentence long and begin with the letters of the alphabet in order!

For example:

• A - I am absolutely sure that New Year will be the best!
• B - Be healthy and happy!
• Q – In general, I’m glad to be with you today!
• G - Pride bursts at the sight of those gathered at this table!..

Most funny moment, when the letters e, e, yu, y, s come into play.

Game option: each next toast begins with the last letter of the previous congratulation. For example: “I’m very glad if you support me with applause! “And all the best to you...” To complicate things, you can prohibit starting a toast with prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.

“I’ll sing about Frost!” Compose a ditty

Those who wish during the evening must write and then present to the audience a ditty, which contains pre-set New Year's words or topics. It could be “New Year, Father Frost, Snow Maiden.”

You can compose awkward songs - with the last line unrhymed, but maintaining the given rhythm of the ditty. Example:

Hello, red Santa Claus
you brought us gifts!
The most important thing is ten days
Let's just relax.

Snow news

Attributes: Cards with word-nouns. There are 5 completely unrelated nouns written on the cards. It is advisable to include at least 1 winter word there.

The participant draws out a card, reads out loud the given words and within 30 seconds (although if those present at the party are already, well, very tired, then 1 minute is possible) comes up with a news story from one sentence. And all the words from the card should fit in it.

Nouns can be turned into other parts of speech (adjectives, verbs, adverbs...) and changed as you like, and the news must certainly be interesting and funny.

You can start the news with the words “Sensation!”

For example:

• 1 card – “road, chair, roof, bicycle, snowman.” Sentence - “Outside the city, a huge snowman with a broken roof was discovered on a road bike with a chair instead of a seat!”
• Card 2 – “fence, sound, ice floe, shop, Christmas tree.” Sentence - “Near the store, under the fence, someone left a Christmas tree with sounding pieces of ice.”

Try this: it will be even more interesting if you prepare a lot of cards, where one different word will be written, and the players themselves will draw out the 5 words they get.

Fun guaranteed!

I like/don't like my neighbor

The game does not require any improvised means! But requires a sufficient degree of emancipation or relaxed relationships in the team.

The presenter invites everyone present to name which part of the body (can be clothing) they like about the person sitting on the left, and which they don’t like. For example: “My neighbor on the right, I like his left ear and don’t like his bulging pocket.”

After everyone has named and remembered what was said, the presenter asks to kiss (or stroke) what they like and bite (or spank) what they don’t like.

Not everyone can play, but only 6-8 brave ones are called into the circle.

Our friend is orange!

This game can be played at a New Year's party in the office only if all colleagues know each other well. Or at least everyone has a friend or girlfriend in the team.

The presenter thinks of a person from those present at the table. And the participants, with the help of leading questions, try to guess who it is.

But questions are not simple - they are associations! Whoever guesses first wins.

The questions are something like this:

• — What fruit/vegetable does it look like? - For an orange.
• — What food is it associated with? - With pies.
• - With what animal? - With a mole.
• — With what music? - With choral singing.
• - With what flower?
• - With what plant?
• - By car?
• - Color?
• — Part of the world?

Yin-yang cones

Attributes: 2 cones – one painted White color, the other in black. If you have nothing to paint with, you can wrap them with colored ones. woolen threads the desired color.

The course of the fun: a host is selected from among the guests, who will have these two cones. They are signals of his answers, because he is not allowed to speak at all. He thinks of a word, and the others, with the help of leading questions, try to guess what he has in mind.

The whole secret is that he can only silently show: YES is white bump, NO – black. If neither this nor that, he can lift both at once.

The first one to guess correctly wins.

Instead of cones, you can take multi-colored ones Christmas balls. But you need to be careful with glass ones, especially if the presenter has already drunk a couple of glasses of champagne.

Associations on paper. Broken telephone associations

Attributes of the players: paper and pen.

The first person writes any noun word on his piece of paper and speaks it quietly into his neighbor’s ear. He comes up with his own association for this word, writes it down and whispers it to the next person.

This is how associations are transmitted along the chain... The last one speaks out loud the word given to him. It is compared with the original source and it is fun to find out at which link in the chain of associations the failure occurred: everyone reads out their nouns.

funny neighbor

Any number of guests can play.

We stand in a circle, and the driver begins: he performs an action with his neighbor that will make him laugh. He can take him by the ear, pat him on the shoulders, tap him on the nose, flick his arm, touch his knee... That's it, those standing in a circle must repeat the same movement with your neighbor/neighbor.

The one who laughs is eliminated.

Then the driver makes the next movement, everyone repeats. If no one laughed, new movement. And so on until the last “Nesmeyana”.

New Year's rhyme machine

The driver reads out little-known New Year/winter quatrains. But he only says the first 2 lines out loud.

The rest are invited to take part in a competition for the best rhymer.

Guests come up with and rhyme the last two lines. Then the funniest and most original poet is selected, and then the original poem is read out amid general laughter and joy.

Drawing competition “I see, I see New Year!”

Those who wish are given A-4 sheets of free-form lines and felt-tip pens. Everyone has the same image (copier can help you).

The task is to complete a picture on a New Year's theme.

Of course, everyone knows who in the team is best versed in painting. So he or she will evaluate the results. Whoever is more interesting is the winner! There can be many winners - it’s a holiday!

Movable

Nimble bump

Attributes: pine or fir cones.

Progress of the game: guests can either sit at the table or stand in a circle (if they have been sitting too long by this time). The task is to pass the pine cone to each other. The condition is that you can transmit it only by holding it on the back of your two palms. Try it, it's quite difficult... But also fun!

You can also divide into equal teams, and whichever one hands over its cone faster wins.

My Frost is the most beautiful!

You will need various items such as: garlands, funny hats, scarves, beads, ribbons. socks, mittens, women's bags... Two or three ladies who want to be in the role of the Snow Maiden for a few minutes each choose a man to turn him into Father Frost.

From items prepared in advance on the table, the Snow Maidens create a cheerful image of their hero. In principle, you can end here by choosing the most successful and funniest model...

The Snow Maiden can take snowflakes for herself, which will help with the “design” of Santa Claus and with advertising.

Snow paths

This is a very good game to match matches for later New Year's competitions.

Attributes: colored ribbons in winter shades (blue, light blue, silver...). Length 4-5 meters. It is necessary to cut the ribbons in half in advance and sew them together, mixing up the halves.

3-4 pairs of players are called. The presenter holds a basket/box, to which lie multi-colored ribbons, the ends of which hang down.

Presenter: “On New Year’s Day, the paths were covered with snow... The blizzard mixed up the paths in Santa Claus’s house. We need to untangle them! In pairs, each grab the end of the tape that you like and pull the track towards you. The couple that draws their ribbon before the others will receive a prize!”

Players choose a pair and the color of the ribbon, expecting that there will be a single ribbon at the ends of the same color. But the fun is that the ribbons are sewn in different ways, and completely unexpected pairs are formed.

Happy people train

Everyone loves round dances: both small and large (and those who are embarrassed to admit it)!

Give your guests a round dance-train. It is clear that vacationers at a party may find it difficult to motivate themselves to participate in an active competition, so come up with something for them branded slogans.

— Now those who are attached to the train are
a) desires great wealth for himself,
b) wants to be loved,
c) who wants a lot of health,
d) who dreams of traveling to the sea, etc.

The host drives the train around the hall, it fills and fills with guests. And when it is clear that no one else can be pulled out from behind the tables, train dances are arranged (the host can show them) to daring music.

New Year's fixed deposit

Attributes: candy wrapper money.

Two pairs are selected, each with a man and a woman. It is advisable for the men to be dressed approximately the same (if one has a jacket, then the other should also wear a jacket).

— Dear women, the New Year is approaching, and you need to have time to make a fixed-term deposit in the bank. Here's some money for you (each of the women is given a pack of candy wrappers). These are initial payments. You will put them in the bank on a super fixed deposit. Your men are your banks. Only one condition - each “bill” is in a separate cell! Pockets, sleeves, collars, lapels and other secluded places can become cells. Contributions can be made while the music is playing. Just remember where you put your money. Let's start!

The task is given 1-2 minutes.

- Attention! Intermediate check: whoever managed to make a full investment (not a single candy wrapper left in their hands) receives an additional point. All the money is in business!

- And now, dear depositors, you must quickly withdraw cash - after all, we know that it was a super quick deposit. Each of you will be filming blindfolded, but you will always remember what you put and where. Music! Let's start!

The trick is that the men are swapped, and the women, blindfolded, “search” someone else’s partner without knowing it. Everyone has fun!

We are actors no matter what!

Those who wish to participate are given cards with tasks. None of them knows in advance what they will have to face.

The presenter announces that the participants need to take a walk in front of everyone, depicting what is written on the cards. Here is a sample list:

• tightrope walker over the abyss,
• duck in the yard,
• teenager with a stalled bike,
• shy girl,
• shy Japanese woman in a kimono in the rain,
• baby starting to walk,
• heron in the swamp,
• Joseph Kobzon at a performance
• policeman at the market,
• hare along the path,
• model on the catwalk,
• arab sheikh,
• cat on the roof, etc.

The tasks can be supplemented and expanded with any ideas.

Funny joke “Bear in a den or slow-witted spectators”

Attention: only played once!

The presenter invites someone who wants to perform a pantomime, takes him to a separate room and gives him a “secret” task - portray without words bear (hare or kangaroo).

Meanwhile, the presenter's assistant negotiates with the others NOT to understand his body movements.

The volunteer returns and begins to show the selected animal with movements and gestures. The guests pretend that they do not understand and call anything but the person they are shown.

- Does he waddle around? Yes, this is the platypus (lame fox, tired boar)!
- Licking his paw? The cat is probably washing itself.
Etc.

It happens that the person portraying is surprised by the guests’ lack of understanding and begins to get angry: “Are you so stupid? It's so simple! And if he shows hellish patience, shows it again and again - he has nerves of iron! But this also amuses the employees gathered at the party. There is no need to delay. When the player begins to run out of imagination and patience, you can guess the correct animal.

3. Music competitions

Can you imagine the New Year without music, songs and dances? That's right, no! For additional entertainment and fun, many music competition games have been invented for the New Year's corporate party.

Scene “Clip-song”

This is the most creative musical fun for a New Year's corporate evening.

Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Father Frost, the Christmas tree, the Snow Maiden... and simple attributes that will help the players dress up (beads, hats, felt boots, scarves...)

The task is to make a corporate video for the song “The Little Christmas Tree Is Cold in Winter.” We need an operator who will shoot a video clip on camera.

Participants, to the accompaniment of songs, begin to depict all the actions that are sung about: “the little gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree” - the hero is jumping, “they hung the beads” - the team hangs the beads on an improvised living “Christmas tree”.

You can divide into two teams (employees and female employees) and each will shoot their own video. It is advisable to display the results on a large screen and compare them. The winners will be awarded with branded souvenirs or applause.

Competition "Lazy Dancing"

The players sit in a circle on chairs and begin to dance to the cheerful New Year's music and song. But these are strange dances - no one gets up from their seats!

At the command of the leader, they dance with different parts of the body:

• First we dance with our elbows!
• Then shoulders
• legs,
• fingers,
• lips,
• eyes, etc.

The rest choose the coolest dance.

Upside down song

This is a comic game that you can play at any time during the holiday. The presenter recites lines from a New Year/winter song, but with the words in reverse. Everyone's task is who is faster guess the original and sing it. The person who guesses correctly is given a chip (candy wrapper, candy, cone...) so that later it will be easier to count the winner in the entire competition.

The lines might look something like this:

— The birch tree died in the steppe. - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree.
- The old month is slow, nothing will happen for a long time. - The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon.
— White, white steam rose on the ground. — Blue-blue frost lay on the wires.
- One gray donkey, one gray donkey. - Three white horses, three white horses.
— A brave white wolf was sitting on a baobab tree. - The cowardly gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree.
- Keep quiet, Santa Claus, where are you going? - Tell me, Snow Maiden, where have you been?
- Read me a book about 1 hour. - I’ll sing you a song about five minutes.
— The huge palm tree is hot in the summer. – The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.
— The weights were removed and left the chain. - They hung the beads and began to dance in a circle.
“I was running away from you, Snow Maiden, and wiped away a few sweet smiles.” - I was running after you, Santa Claus. I shed a lot of bitter tears.
- Oh, it’s hot, it’s hot, warm you up! Warm you and your camel. - Oh, frost-frost, don’t freeze me! Don't freeze me, my horse.
- Your worst acquisition is me. - My best gift is you.

Song competition “Musical hat of Santa Claus”

Attributes: put words from New Year's songs.

The players pass it around in a circle to the accompaniment of music. When the music stops, the person who received the hat at that moment takes out a card with the word and must remember/sing the piece of the song where it appears.

You can play in teams. Then the hat is passed from representative to representative of each team. You can limit the time it takes to complete a task and reward the team for every guess they make.

If you’re not sure that your guests are so quick-thinking, write not just one word, but a short phrase. Then it will be easier to remember the song!

Dance by candlelight

A dynamic, but at the same time very calm and gentle dance competition.

Play slow music and encourage couples to light sparklers and dance. The couple whose fire burns longer wins and will receive a prize.

If you want to add spice to your dance, choose tango!

An old song in a new way

Print the lyrics of famous (not even New Year's) songs and prepare musical accompaniment without words (karaoke music).

This could be Karabas Barabas, the Snow Maiden, an evil policeman, a kind Baba Yaga, and even your boss.

Quietly loud

A well-known song is chosen, which all guests begin to sing in chorus.

On the command “Quiet!” sing a song to themselves. At the command “Loud!” out loud again.

And since everyone sang at their own pace, the loud choir begins with different words. And this is repeated several times, amusing everyone.

4. Team

Team games for the New Year's corporate party will once again strengthen team spirit and solidarity, serving as unscheduled team building.

Competition - relay race "Felt boots of Santa Claus"

Attributes: 2 pairs of felt boots big size(or one).

This game is played around the tree or around chairs in teams.

Those playing, at the driver’s signal or the sound of music, put on large felt boots and race around the tree (chairs). If you only have one pair of these winter shoes, then let the teams compete against the clock.

With felt boots you can also come up with many different relay races: divide into teams and run, passing them on to each other as a team; carry with outstretched arms so as not to drop; put on felt boots and run backwards (it’s difficult to do this in big ones), etc. Imagine!

Don't drop the lump

Attributes: “snow” balls made from crumpled paper; large spoons (wooden possible).

Progress of the relay competition: two teams of equal numbers gather. At the command of the driver (or the sound of music), the first participants must quickly run around the room back and forth, carrying a lump in a spoon and trying not to drop it. Don’t choose too long routes - just make a circle around the tree.

The difficulty is that the paper is light and tends to fall off to the floor all the time.

They play until the last person running in the team. Whoever is first wins!

The office wishes you a Happy New Year

Attributes: 2-3 sheets of whatman paper (depending on how many teams are playing), newspapers, magazines, glue and scissors.

In 10-15 minutes, teams must cut out words from the paper publications offered to them, glue them onto a sheet of paper and compose original congratulations those present for the New Year.

It should be a small, funny text. You can supplement the poster with clippings of pictures from the suggested magazines.

The most creative congratulation wins.

Beads for Christmas tree

Offer teams paper clips at large quantities(it is advisable to choose multi-colored plastic ones). Task: in the allotted time (5 minutes, no more), long chains are assembled to the accompaniment of pleasant music.

Whoever ends up with beads longer than their opponents, that team wins.

Gather a team or “Friendly Mosaic”

The competition requires little preparation. You need to photograph the teams, print the photo on a printer and cut it into small pieces. The teams' task is to put together a photo of their team in the minimum amount of time.

Those who complete their puzzle faster win.

Preferably so that the photos are large.

The snowman turns...

Two teams. Each has 4 participants and 8 balls (blue and white are possible). Each one has the large letters S_N_E_G_O_V_I_K written on it. The snowman “melts” and turns... into other words.

The driver asks simple riddles, and the players build guessed words from balls with letters.

• Candles are made from it. - Wax.
• Prepared for the winter. - Hay.
• Orange is preferred to tangerine. - Juice.

The fastest players get points, and those with the most points win.

5. Bonus – competitions for an all-female team!

These games are suitable for a New Year's corporate party for doctors, teachers, or for a kindergarten.

Rope for the brave

This is a competition exclusively for adult company. The guests are divided into two equal teams.

At the driver’s signal and to the accompaniment of lively music, the players take off parts of their clothes in order to knit a long, very long rope from them.

When “Stop!” sounds, the visibly undressed participants begin to measure the length of their clothing chains.

The longest one wins!

Let's dress up for the New Year! or “Dark Outfit”

Two participants stand near their chest/box/basket, which contain different items of clothing. They are first blindfolded, and then they must put on everything from the chest as quickly as possible.

Speed ​​and accuracy are valued. Although everyone has more fun because things get mixed up between the players.

Reverse Snow Queen

Inventory: ice cubes from the freezer.

Several contenders are selected for the crown of the Snow Queen. They pick up ice cube and on command they must melt it as quickly as possible, turning it into water.

You can give one at a time, or several ice cubes, putting them in bowls.

The first one to complete the task wins. She is awarded the title of "The Hottest Snow Queen".

Will Cinderella go to the New Year's ball?

In front of the two participants, mixed beans, peppers, rose hips, and peas are placed in a heap on plates (you can use any ingredients). The number of grains is small so that the game does not flow for too long (can be checked experimentally before the holiday).

After the players are blindfolded, they begin to sort the fruits into piles by touch. Whoever manages it first will go to the ball!

To make the New Year's celebration interesting and joyful, hold a couple of competitions for guests. The article contains entertainment that is suitable for events of various formats.

For the whole family

Guests young and old will be able to take part in family competitions for the New Year 2019. Each game is designed to bring loved ones closer together on the eve of the holiday.

Memory Relay

You will need a symbolic baton. It can be any object, for example, a chocolate bar. The purpose of the competition is to spend the outgoing year kind words and pleasant memories.

A person with a baton in his hands must quickly remember the most wonderful event that happened to him over the past 12 months. He tells the crowd about it. Then he passes the wand to any of those present.
If someone hesitates and cannot quickly remember anything positive, then he is awarded the comic prize “Lucky of the Year 2018”. Among New Year's games and entertainment for the family, this relay race is one of the most heartwarming competitions.

Balloons with wishes

You need to prepare for this entertainment in advance. Write wishes for your household on pieces of paper, then place them inside inflatable balloons. You will also need a hat or cap. Leaves with the names of different parts of the body (elbow, heel, knee) are placed in the headdress.

Guests choose their favorite balls. But they shouldn't just eat them. This must be done with the part of the body that is written on the piece of paper from the hat. As a reward for their efforts, everyone will receive good wishes for next year.

New Year's Oscar

The New Year's Oscar is awarded for the best performance in the role of the symbol of the New Year. The mascot of the upcoming holiday is a pig. Everyone has a specific role. One will be a “sad pig”, another will be a “mysterious”, the third will be a “piggy dreaming of rolling in the mud.”

From those who did not want to try on the role of the symbol of the New Year, you can assemble the “academy jury”. All “actors” are given props – toy snouts and ears.

Over the next 15-20 minutes, each player behaves according to their role. At the same time, you can continue to communicate with each other, but this must be done in the manner of the pig that the participant received.

At the end, the jury deliberates and writes the winner's name on paper. The leaflet can be placed in a pre-prepared envelope so that everything is like at a real ceremony. The winner receives a prize for the most artistic pig.

For children

These entertainments will appeal to kids who do not yet go to school and elementary school students. All children's competitions are active and aimed at uniting the children.

Snowballs

The competition consists of two parts. The first is making snowballs. The children are divided into two groups and a pile of newspapers is dumped in front of each of them. In a minute, the guys must “blind” them into snowballs.

After the children make “projectiles”, you can move on to the second part of the competition - the accuracy competition. Teams line up in two rows. Colored tape is glued to the floor in front of them. It marks a line that participants must not cross.

A few meters from the markings, baskets are placed - children should aim snowballs there. Time is noted again. Participants one by one approach the “firing line” and throw snowballs into the basket. The team whose catch is greater wins.

Decorating the Christmas tree

Ideally, for this competition you will need two small New Year's trees. But you can show your imagination and choose “Christmas trees” from children. The remaining players are divided into two teams. They are given safe, unbreakable toys on strings. The goal of the competition is to hang as many as possible on the “spruce” more decorations in a minute. In this case, the child in the role of a tree should stand motionless.

You can complicate the game by placing “Christmas trees” at a distance of several meters from the teams, so that the participants take turns running up to it with decorations.

Tinsel

Two teams stand opposite each other. Each participant is given tinsel. The competition begins to the New Year's tune. The first player must tie his tinsel around the hand of the second child, and the latter must tie the hand of the third. When it’s the last participant’s turn, he runs to the first and puts his tinsel on his hand.

After this, the children raise their hands up together. The team that does this first wins.

Table

Sometimes you want to have fun without leaving the table. Below are competitions that will give guests a good mood without taking up a lot of energy.

Remember the alphabet

“Remember the Alphabet” is an entertainment that is ideal for that moment when guests have already drunk and eaten, but are still cheerful and cheerful. For this competition you will need filled glasses and a sense of humor.

The presenter says that he forgot the entire alphabet due to alcohol. In order for him to remember it, the guests must take turns making toasts. The first participant begins his speech with the letter A, the second with B, the third with C, and so on in a circle. For example: “Shouldn’t we drink to your health?”, “Be happy in the new year!”, “Money and good luck to everyone.”

At the end the most original toast, and the guests drink to the winner.

Song from the hat

For this game you need to write on pieces of paper words on a New Year's theme (winter, blizzard, Snow Maiden, snowflake). The papers are sent to the header.

Guests take turns taking out pieces of paper and singing songs that contain the word they come across. To make it even more fun, you can include karaoke videos from the Internet as an accompaniment.

And again about gifts

For this game you need to prepare a bag of small comic gifts. The presenter turns to the guest sitting on the left and says: “I have wanted to give you this thing for so long, but I couldn’t give it to you because of...”. Here you need to come up with a funny reason, for example, “I myself was sorry to part with this item” or “this thing cost a fortune.”

Then the presenter blindly pulls out a gift and hands it to the guest. After this, the person who received the gift takes the bag and makes a speech for his neighbor on the left. The more ridiculous the reason why the gift was not given, the merrier.

For adults

Competitions for adults require the use of strong drinks. However, there is also fun non-alcoholic entertainment.

Drink and snack

Guests are given two pieces of paper. One sticker says “drink”, the other says “snack”. Everyone must supplement the first piece of paper with an object from which to drink, for example: “Drink from the palm of the neighbor on the right” or “drink from the pan.”

On the second piece of paper, guests write what the person will have as a snack: “salt”, “sniff with hair”. The stickers are then placed in two hats or boxes and taken turns being pulled blindly.

Kinosecret

An A4 sheet is hung on the wall. One person names another character from any New Year's movie and hands a marker. The player will have to explain to the guests who they wished for him using a drawing. Artistic skills do not play any role here. The one who first guessed the hero becomes the explainer himself, as in famous game"Crocodile".

Festive cocktail

For this game, the participant is blindfolded with thick cloth. After a person “loses his sight,” one of the guests prepares a cocktail for him from any drinks that are on the table. The miracle potion is then given to the player to try. He must determine what components his New Year's cocktail consists of.

Guests write down his result, for example, “Igor - guessed 3 out of 5.” Then the same thing is done with the next participant. The one who correctly names all the ingredients wins. The current prize in this competition will be a hangover pill.

For a group of adults who don't drink, you can hold a similar competition, in which instead of a cocktail, the participants are given a sandwich. It can include any food that is on the table.

We are holding a lottery

The main condition for the lottery for the New Year 2019 is that it is win-win. On this holiday everyone should go home with gifts and good mood. Therefore, you need to know the exact number of guests in advance. Just in case, you can prepare two or three more presents.

You have to prepare not only gifts, but also lottery tickets. Since the year of the pig is coming, you can download a funny image of a pig from the Internet and print out many copies of it. Place numbers on the pictures according to the number of participants.

You can simply hand over tickets to guests before the start of the party. But it’s more interesting if you show your imagination. For example, attach pictures with numbers under the chairs. If the company is small, then you can call guests one by one to the center of the hall and ask them to sing a song, tell a poem or an anecdote. As a reward for the action, the person dips his hand into the ticket hat and pulls out his lucky pig.

Any little thing can be used as prizes - from a pin to a chocolate bar. It will be very funny if you accompany the presentation of a gift with a comic couplet. For example: “To be like in the picture all year round, get ascorbic acid!”

For schoolchildren

Competitions for schoolchildren are suitable for students of any age. Both fifth-graders and graduates usually enjoy running and jumping.

Whoever managed it sat down

The chair game is a timeless classic for schoolchildren. Before the entertainment begins, count the number of participants. Chairs must be placed one number less. Children run around them to cheerful New Year's music. As soon as the melody turns off, the guys must sit on the chairs. The one who does not have enough space is eliminated. Despite the fact that this game has been around for many years, it always causes a lot of excitement among teenagers.

Jump into the New Year

The competition is based on an old German tradition. On New Year's Eve in Germany it is customary to stand on a chair and jump from it. It is believed that the further you jump, the happier you will be over the next 12 months. To avoid injury, you can avoid using chairs. The one who jumps the furthest from a standing position wins.

Hand to hand

All players are divided into pairs. The presenter turns on fiery music, to which the guys begin to jump and dance. During the fun, all couples must separate and mix. Then the music stops abruptly, the presenter shouts: “Hand to hand!” Everyone must quickly find their partner and touch hands. Whoever is last is eliminated. In each round, the presenter gives different tasks: “Heel to heel”, “forehead to forehead”.

For the New Year 2019, the game can be complicated. To do this, you will need themed items, such as snowflakes made of cardboard, toy piglets, and candies in the form of Santa Claus. They must be placed in the room where the holiday is taking place. In the next round, the presenter announces: “Snowflake to snowflake,” after which everyone must take a snowflake and touch them. The last one to find the item is eliminated.

For young people

Below are several cool competitions that are perfect for celebrating the New Year in the company of young people.

Unloading the Christmas tree

Two volunteers are selected who will have to remove candies from the Christmas trees with their eyes closed. And as a New Year's tree all the other guests perform. They are lined up and candy is attached to each one. You can do this using clothespins. Participants are blindfolded, given a basket and taken to different ends of the “guest tree.” On command, players begin by touch to remove candy from people and put it in their basket. The competition ends when the participants collide with each other in the middle. Whoever has the most candies wins.

Firecrackers and girls

At the beginning of the holiday, all the boys are given a cracker. Then the rules of the competition are announced. Throughout the evening, each guy must "blow up" his firecracker without warning. And the girls, hearing the next “bang-bang”, jump into the arms of anyone standing nearby young man. Anyone who gets confused or forgets about the competition will have to complete some fun task from the guests.

Tangerines of Friendship

The guests are divided into two teams and lined up. You need to prepare two bowls of tangerines and two large empty plates. The first participant takes the tangerine with his teeth and passes it to the other person’s mouth. The last player must place the tangerine on the plate. You can't help yourself with your hands. The team that manages to collect the most citrus fruits in two minutes wins. Don't forget to wash the tangerines before the competition.

For a corporate event

Competitions for corporate parties include both outdoor games and entertainment that can be arranged without leaving the table.

Decorating the Christmas tree

Participants in the competition will have to blindly decorate a Christmas tree. But before you hang the toy on the tree, you still need to find it. Everyone who wants to is taken to the center and given a piece of jewelry. Then the guests are blindfolded and forced to spin around their axis several times.

After this, everyone begins to move forward until they come across some object or living person. The participant must hang his toy on the obstacle he encounters. The one who is lucky enough to stumble upon the Christmas tree wins. While moving, you cannot change its direction. Another prize is given to the player who “found” the most original place for his toy.

Dance Marathon

For this competition we will have to select several diverse musical cuts. Participants are divided into pairs. Each of them will have to perform a dance to music that absolutely does not correspond to it. For example, the presenter announces: “The first couple is dancing Lezginka.” And the song “The color of mood is blue” sounds.

The more inappropriate dance and music turn out to be for each other, the merrier. As tasks, you can recall ancient genres such as minuet and waltz.

Promises

Everyone is given stickers on which guests write three things they will definitely do in the coming year. These leaves are then rolled up and thrown into the hat, where they are mixed. After that, each guest blindly draws a promise and reads it out loud. Funny coincidences cannot be avoided.

You can complicate the entertainment so that the one who reads “his” promise guesses who it actually belongs to.

Funny contests

In the entertainment presented below, everyone will be able to show their artistry and imagination. All competitions are aimed at making others laugh and having a good laugh.

New Year's crocodile

To play the festive crocodile, you need to prepare a lot of stickers with the names of New Year's films. For example, " Real love", "The Irony of Fate", " Carnival Night" The first player draws a piece of paper at random. The participant must perform such a pantomime so that the other guests can guess the name of the film.

The first one to name the correct answer is the next to draw a leaf from the hat. At the end, you can give out a prize for the most artistic performance.

Snowman T-shirt

Prepare three men's t shirts big size. Before the start of the holiday, they need to be rolled up and placed in the freezer. Select three men to participate in the competition. They get to wear these T-shirts. Whoever does it the fastest wins. Considering the condition of the T-shirts from the freezer, the task ahead will not be easy.

Read my lips

Two players are given a pair of headphones that play music. The volume should be at such a level that people cannot hear each other. Then one player is given cards with questions about the holiday. For example: “How much do you usually drink in New Year's Eve? or “What do you like to do on the first of January?”

The second participant must try to understand the question being asked and answer it as accurately as possible. After a few minutes, the question cards are passed to the other pair of players. Those who answer correctly win greatest number questions.

For relaxed guests

Not every company likes noisy or lively competitions. The next three entertainments are just for those who like calm but fun games.

Funny fortune telling

On pieces of paper, guests write questions about what awaits them in the coming year. The stickers are then rolled up and thrown into the hat. After this, guests are given new pieces of paper on which they need to write answers, for example: “this will definitely happen” or “you’ll have to wait another year.” They are thrown into another hat.

Guests take turns pulling leaves from first one, then from another headdress and read out what they came across. The more creative the questions and answers, the merrier.

Chrismas story

During this entertainment, guests will feel like real writers. Everyone is given 8-10 pieces of paper on which they need to write different words.

Half of them should be related to the New Year, and the other part should be an unlimited flight of fancy. Then all the leaves are placed in a hat and mixed thoroughly.

New Year...Even the name of this holiday exudes incredible freshness and magic, because with this holiday we associate new hopes, make new plans, expect new gifts and unforgettable meetings. And therefore many New Year's entertainment are directly related to these expectations, to fortune-telling and endless wishes to each other for all the best in the new year.

New Year's games at the table, those presented here help you plunge into this magical atmosphere.

1. Game at the table "Next year I..."

Behind festive table You can arrange an auction: the last guest to come up with a rhyme for the phrase: “Next year I promise...” receives a prize. In this case, it is not truthfulness that is important, but the speed of invention, the first thing that comes to mind. For example,

“Next year I promise-

I’m going to give birth to a lot of kids!”

Next year I promise

I’m flying to the Canaries,” etc.

You can tighten the conditions of the game: let the guests sitting at the table come up with ideas one by one (if they don’t have time for “one, two, three”), they drop out of the game, the winner is the one who has the richest imagination and the fastest reaction - he gets a prize.

If the conditions of the feast allow, then this game can be based on predictions. For example, everyone receives three pieces of paper on which they write their wishes or dreams, then all the pieces of paper are collected in a hat, mixed, and whatever one draws out will come true.

2. Distribution of gifts at the New Year's table "Win-win lottery"

Each guest draws (or receives for participating in games and competitions) a lottery ticket with a certain number, each number is a certain prize.

3. General toast "New Year's alphabet".

To add a playful touch to the proclamation of toasts, the toastmaster, in the midst of the New Year's celebrations, may, for example, doubt that the cheerful guests remember the alphabet. Then he invites everyone to fill their glasses and take turns saying a toast to the New Year, the first one starting with the letter “A”, like: “ A x, what a fabulous night! I suggest we drink so that it never ends!” The second person begins his toast accordingly with the letter “B” and so on.

The most interesting thing is when it comes to “Y” or “Y”. Here the presenter can suggest that you can start with the exclamation: “Yoh! How good!” or “Wow, what ladies have we gathered here!” etc.

Of course, letters that do not represent sounds are skipped. A comic medal goes to the guest whose congratulatory toast was especially liked by the public.

4. Decoy to dance “Both boys and girls are all very good”

This table game can serve fun entertainment and the host announces that there is a New Year's sign that whoever celebrates the New Year cheerfully, dances a lot, can "get out" from all problems and leave them in the past, then suggests doing a little warm-up. As soon as the word “boys” is heard, all the young people quickly get up and spin around their axis and sit down again, and when the word “girls” is said, the girls spin around, respectively. And so - for every word heard, “boy” and “girl”. Ready, let's start.

On New Year's Day in our country everyone gives gifts, and everyone feels hot with fun and love. Boys often give girls flowers so that all their dreams come true. And the Girls kiss them back and say that there is no better person in the world. The girls raise their glasses behind the young man and wish the young men joy and health. The boys, of course, do not lag behind them; today they dance and sing for the Girls. The gathered Girls are very good. And young men with such people will dance from the heart.

5. Activation of the New Year's Bells hall.

Leading. In Central America, as soon as the clock strikes midnight, all the sirens and bells begin to ring deafeningly. Before the final summing up, it is time to ring a deafening New Year's bell.

(The presenter approaches the 1st sector.)
You will perform the part of a large bell, preferably ringing it low, loudly and slowly: “Boo-um! Boo-um!” Rehearsing...

(The presenter approaches the 2nd sector.)
You have a middle bell part, your sound is higher and shorter: “Bim-bom! Bim-bom!” Let's try...

(The presenter approaches the 3rd sector.)
Your part is the part of a small bell, the sound is even higher and more frequent: “Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!” So…

(The presenter approaches sector 4.)
You got a batch of bells, the sound is the highest and most frequent: “La-la! La-la! La-la! La-la!” Picture...

So, pay attention! The big bell begins to sound... The middle one comes in... The small bell joins in... And the ringing bells flow in...

Each sector plays its part - this is the ringing of the bell.

Option 2.Salute to Santa Claus.

The same game to activate the hall can be organized before the arrival of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, offering to arrange a fireworks display in their honor. To do this, the presenter divides the hall into three teams, the first, when Santa Claus appears, shouts in unison: “Hurray!”, the second applauds loudly, and the third stomps their feet. Any game either in honor of Santa Claus or with him will be very useful.

6. Game at the table "New Year without debts."

The summary of the game is something like this: “Everyone knows the sign that in order to live the whole next year without debts - you need to pay them off in the old year. I suggest performing a ritual for those who have not yet managed to do this. Here I have a magic casket (shows a piggy bank or casket). Anyone who wants to part with their creditors once and for all can throw any amount into it, while internally they need to very strongly and sincerely wish themselves wealth and prosperity. And remember, the more generous you are in repaying debts, the more favorable the coming New Year will be to you!”

Then the “casket” goes in a circle to the song “Money, Money.” When everyone who wants to repay their debts “replenishes the treasury” and the piggy bank returns to the host, you can arrange an auction, saying that one of the guests will become richer right now, it will be the one who most accurately guesses the accumulated amount. Let special people write down all the proposed versions along with the names of the “predictors”. Then, together, the people must choose a “banker” who will “break” the piggy bank and conscientiously calculate how much money is actually in it and hand it over to the winner (discrepancies of five to ten rubles are allowed).

7. Game "Magic Bag of Fortunes".

A list of inexpensive little things that you can take as gifts from Santa Claus: a box of matches, a ball, chewing gum, a tennis ball, a lighter, lollipop, a disk, a brush, a pencil, glasses, an adapter, a bag, decals, paper clips, a bag of tea, calendar, notepad, postcard, bag of coffee, eraser, top, sharpener, bow, magnet, pen, thimble, toy, bell, medal, etc.

New Year's games for children and adults at home

Home New Year's holiday is a long-standing good tradition. The older members of the family want to give the younger ones a fairy tale, miracles, joy... On New Year's Day, the younger members of the family have a wonderful opportunity to learn folk customs, try themselves as a host (after all, you need to welcome guests and come up with an interesting program together with the adults), and also - this is the birth of family traditions.

Mysterious flags

Prepare a garland of flags, write a riddle on the back of each flag (if the guys are familiar with rebuses, then draw a rebus). During the holiday, remove the garland, distribute flags to the children and conduct a “Guess-Ku” (if the children cannot read, read the riddle). The guys can take turns reading riddles out loud; you can hold this competition before lighting the Christmas tree: after the last riddle guessed, the Christmas tree is lit.

Guess

Santa Claus suggests putting your hand into a bag in which various small objects are hidden, feeling for one of them and, without removing it from the bag, say what it is. If the item is named correctly, the player takes it for himself. You can put a chocolate bar, a wrapped gingerbread, a pencil candy, a lollipop, an eraser, a coin, a pencil sharpener, a calendar, a tennis ball, an apple, etc. in the bag.

Circle of wishes and predictions

Turn off the lights and light the candles. Sit your guests in a circle and place a chair in the middle of the circle. Guests take turns sitting on a chair. The presenter blindfolds them. The rest of the participants speak new year wishes sitting in the center. This exchange of wishes creates a friendly atmosphere and adds a little magic to the New Year celebrations.

Inversions of proverbs and sayings

Invite the participants in the game to decipher the inversions of proverbs, book titles, lines from poems and songs. You can offer to guess three shifters (one of each type). Points are awarded for the correct answer. Time to think is limited - 10-20 seconds.

Glowing ball

Show the audience a table tennis ball. Count to three and light will appear inside the ball. The light is moving!

Achieving this effect is very simple. There should be a light source about three meters from the ball, for example, a simple light bulb. And in the ball there is a round hole with a diameter of up to one centimeter. When you show the ball to the audience, you cover the hole with your finger. Counting to three, turn the ball with its hole towards the light bulb and, removing your finger, open it. This is where the audience gets the impression that light has appeared in the ball. And for the light to move, you just need to move the ball up and down and left and right, but do not turn it.

Each player (or a player from each two or three) takes one item from his card, raises it up and loudly says the name of the item to those present, for example, “telephone”. All players who have a phone on a cell remove it from their cards. The next player repeats everything again, and so on. This continues until someone with certain squares left shouts, “Bingo!”

Guests are invited into a room where photographs are hung or laid out. They must “identify” each guest from a photograph and write down the photo number and the guest’s name on a piece of paper. No more than eight minutes are allotted for “identification”. The one who gives the most correct answers wins.

Winter is coming, which means it's time to think about how to properly prepare for the New Year. And it is important, in addition to the menu and outfits, to think through competitions for the New Year and entertainment, because they are the ones who will enliven the company, not let you get bored, and fill the holiday with joy and laughter.

Every home will soon begin to bustle, someone will rush to choose gifts for their loved ones, someone will go after the forest beauty to then decorate her with all kinds of ribbons, balls, bows, crackers and garlands, and someone will create a menu New Year's table.

A funny and mischievous game for the New Year's feast. All participants line up like a train, that is, everyone grabs the waist of the person in front. The main presenter begins to tell that his caterpillar is trained and follows any commands.

If she needs to dance, she dances beautifully, if she needs to sing, she sings, and if the caterpillar wants to sleep, then she falls to the side, curls up her paws and snores. And so, the host begins to play disco music, to which everyone begins, without letting go of their neighbor’s waist, to dance, then you can sing karaoke or even while watching TV, and then sleep. The game is funny to tears, where everyone shows themselves in all their talents. Noise and din are guaranteed.

Afterwards, the presenter secretly calculates how much money is in the jar and offers to guess how much money is in the piggy bank. The one who guesses correctly gets the contents at his disposal.

By the way, on a fabulous evening you can tell fortunes. Therefore, the following entertainment is for adults:

Fortune Telling Game

To do this, we will prepare a lot of airy, multi-colored balloons in advance and put various humorous prophecies in them. For example, “Your constellation is under the influence of Queen Cleopatra, so all the years you will be charmingly beautiful” or “The President of New Guinea will come to visit you” and so on.

Each participant chooses a balloon, bursts it and reads his humorous note to those present. Everyone has fun, we celebrate New Year 2018 with games and entertainment, it will be remembered by everyone.

Game "Funny Adjectives"

Here the presenter tells all participants the adjectives they have prepared in advance, or writes them down on a piece of paper so that everyone can see. And after the words, in the sequence in which those sitting at the table call them, he places them in a specially prepared text. Words are added in the order in which they were pronounced. Here's a sample.

Adjectives - wonderful, ardent, unnecessary, stingy, drunk, wet, tasty, loud, banana, heroic, slippery, harmful.

Text:“Good night, most (wonderful) friends. On this (ardent) day, my (unnecessary) granddaughter Snegurka and I send you (stingy) greetings and congratulations on the Year of the Rooster. The year that remains behind us was (drunk) and (wet), but the next one will certainly turn out to be (tasty) and (loud). I would like to wish everyone (banana) health and (heroic) happiness, I will give (slippery) gifts when we meet. Always your (harmful) Grandfather Frost.” Something like this. The game will be a success for a slightly tipsy group, believe me!

The game will be called "Racer"

Great fun for the New Year. So, we borrow toy cars from the kids. On each of them we place a glass filled to the top with sparkling sparkling wine. The cars must be pulled carefully by the string, trying not to spill a drop. Whoever gets the machine first, and whoever drains the glass to the bottom first, is the winner.
