Men take a spoon or fork and take turns trying to perform something musical on this non-standard one.

Musical competitions for the New Year can and should be very different and their number can hardly be counted. Competitions should be selected in accordance with the number and age of guests. You can come up with your own competitions, spending a little time on it. But one thing is certain: the most anticipated holiday of the year will definitely be fun and unlike any other New Year, all guests will be happy. And all this thanks to music competitions.

Proposed New Year's music games universal, suitable for a company of any age and composition.

1. Musical game "Let's portray a New Year's song"

Basically, any song can be turned into funny scene, where people will represent each object, plant, phenomenon or person mentioned in the song. Consider simple accessories that will replace players' costumes.

For the New Year, “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter” is suitable. Roles for the players: Christmas tree, Winter, Beads, Little Coward, Little Gray Bunny, Gray Wolf, etc. Thus, everything that is sung about in the song is depicted: if it is sung that “the beads have hung up,” it means that “Beads” will have to on the neck of the “Christmas tree” and hang.

You can also take other New Year-themed songs, where there is a lot of action in the text.

2. New Year's competition "Musical Hat".

This is also a song competition. We put a lot of cards in a hat with individual words from New Year's songs (“icicle”, “frost”, “winter”, “Father Frost”, “Snow Maiden”, etc.). The hat goes in a circle, the music has stopped, the one from whom the hat takes out a card, reads and performs a passage of the song (or simply names it) where this word appears.

If you want this entertainment to be more dynamic, then write on the cards, not just one word, but a whole phrase, then it will be easier for the guests to remember and there will be no pauses in the game, because the main thing is to amuse, and not to test the memory of the guests

3. Musical game: New Year's "Apozh"

New Year's games for children are the main entertainment of the holiday. No matter how wonderful the scenario turns out to be, until the children play with the kind Grandfather Frost and receive at least small souvenirs from him as a reward, they will not feel real fun. New Year's games and competitions for children are held near the large Christmas tree in the square and at school at a matinee, at home and in the yard. If you have been entrusted with preparing these children's entertainment, you should approach their selection with caution. It's no secret that many adults are ready to offer their children the same fun every year. Such a holiday is quickly prepared, but it is boring. We offer new New Year's games that will amuse children of all ages on New Year's days.

New Year's game with a hall for young children What grows on our Christmas tree?

Many adults used to play this game with pleasure during a holiday, now it’s time to teach it to our children. The host of the game is Santa Claus. He asks the small children sitting in the hall: “What grows on our Christmas tree?” And then he continues a series of words, trying to confuse the children, but they must quickly answer him “Yes” or “No.”

So, try playing:

What grows on our Christmas tree? Pink needle? A bright toy? Delicious cheesecake? Huge bump? A clumsy bear? Sounding thin ice? Children's round dance? White snowflake? Bright picture? Father's car? Torn picture? Icicles, tinsel? Fun game? The series can be continued indefinitely, naming new objects each time. It is advisable to be able to name the words in rhyme, then the game will be fun and the children may make mistakes.

Musical New Year's game Chasing a toy

An arbitrary number of children are invited to the game, which is held at a New Year's party. They form a circle, in the center of which a small table or stool is placed. There are Christmas tree decorations on the table. Their number is one less than the number of participants in the game. Music is playing, children are running in circles, dancing. As soon as the music stops, you need to take a toy from the table. Those who don't have enough leave. The number of toys on the table is also reduced by one. The one who takes the last toy wins. To prevent children from injuring their hands, toys should not be glass.

Children's New Year's game with songs

For this New Year's game, an arbitrary number of children from the audience are invited who know many songs or New Year's ditties. The leader of the game can be either the Snow Maiden or Father Frost. Children line up in one line. Santa Claus calls out any New Year's word, and children must raise their hands if they know a song where this word is present. Whoever names the song correctly moves one step forward. The one who gets to the target line faster wins. You cannot repeat the names of songs. Approximate words that the presenters can name: Christmas tree, snowflakes, holiday, New Year, needles, balls, firecrackers, cones, round dance.

New Year's round dance games for young children

Kids love to dance and play in round dances. We offer to amuse them with the new round dance game “Snowball”. All children dance in a circle near the Christmas tree. They pass each other a white tennis ball or any other object that resembles a snowball. The presenter reads a short poem: “The snowball is rolling forward, and now my surprise awaits you. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 you will sing a song.” Whoever has a lump left sings a song, receives a prize from Santa Claus and goes to his place in the hall. Tasks need to be constantly changed. Instead of the words “Perform a song,” you can add “read poetry, dance, laugh loudly, entertain the Snow Maiden, ask a riddle.”

Children's New Year's outdoor mass games at home or school

New Year's mass games usually held outside next to the Christmas tree. Do you want to have this kind of fun near your school or home? We offer to play the outdoor game “Snow Biathlon”. Two teams of children are organized. They choose a captain. He stands at the line and will shoot snowballs at the intended target. You can use a baby bucket as a target. Team members take turns running up to the captain and bringing him snowballs. The team that fills its bucket with snowballs in a certain time wins.

Happy child 27.11.2016

Dear readers, New Year and happy holidays are coming soon. I suggest preparing for them in advance! Today on the blog we have made for you a selection of New Year's games for children. What to play with the whole family? What to do with the kids of different ages? How to properly organize the playing space? What secrets exist in this matter? We will try to find answers to these and other questions in the article.

The presenter of the column, Anna Kutyavina, will share her thoughts and ideas for games for the New Year for children. I give her the floor.

Hello, dear readers of Irina’s blog! Do you feel what the frosty air outside the window smells like? Snow, Christmas tree, tangerines... Although according to the calendar there is still a whole month until the most anticipated holiday of the year, many of us are already expecting a miracle in our souls. After all, in New Year's Eve not only our children, but we ourselves often make the most cherished desires, sincerely believing that they will certainly come true! And from January 1, as in a fairy tale, a new life will begin...

So, are we starting to prepare for the holiday fun? In order not to sit through the last hours of December on the Internet, frantically searching for new ideas for games, let's take important steps towards a joyful New Year right now. As long as there is time, strength, energy and desire. And there are a lot of delicious and unusual ideas for fun! Go?

For your convenience, we have divided all the games into age categories. This will make it easier for you to navigate and choose what is best for your child. There are games near the Christmas tree, games with rhymes, New Year's musical games. A separate category includes games for the whole family - a creative space in which there is a place for everyone: moms and dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and kids!

New Year's games for children under 2 years old

Let's start looking at the fun with the littlest heroes of the holiday. Usually children begin to actively participate in simple games from 1.5-2 years. For even younger toddlers, we offer only the simplest things: round dances around the Christmas tree in mother’s arms; funny rhymes and songs with parents. We remember that infants should under no circumstances be overloaded with emotions, including positive ones! The “Christmas tree” for such children lasts no more than half an hour, and we certainly look at the child’s condition. If he is tired, we give him time to rest.

It’s great if mothers love to sing, write poems and fairy tales. It's time to fantasize and little by little include the baby in the creative process. The main thing is the emotional involvement of parents, the desire to play and create. Even with one-year-olds, you can make small crafts together, glue together a New Year's toy - boots from two cardboard parts, and then paint them with colored sparkles. The baby just sits in his mother’s arms, and the mother does everything herself using the “hand in hand” method. Then the toy is solemnly hung on the Christmas tree, and each guest is told who made such beauty. And everyone is happy and satisfied.

It’s good for kids to play short New Year’s songs to which they can clap their hands, stomp their feet, and twirl their butts. Remember first of all about safety precautions: if there is a toddler in the house, the Christmas tree should not stand on the floor, especially not hung with glass toys and garlands with lights.

New Year's games and competitions for children from 2 to 6 years old

Now we move on to the most “grateful” age. Preschoolers love games and fun; they are active and sociable. We present to your attention a selection of games for preschoolers:

Game "Guess the gift"

Place many different items and toys in a large bag. Invite your child to determine by touch what came into his hand. If the child guesses the name of the item, he receives a gift.

Game "Owl and animals"

One driver is selected - “owl”. The rest of the children show various animals: birds, mice, butterflies, frogs, bunnies, etc.
The driver gives the command: “Day!” - and all the “animals” run and jump merrily. On the second command: “Night!” - everyone freezes and doesn’t move. The owl flies to "hunt". Anyone who laughs, moves, or changes position becomes the owl's prey.

Game “It’s boring to sit like this...”

We seat the children on chairs near one wall. The presenter reads the poem:

It's boring, it's boring to sit like this,
Looking at each other.
Isn't it time to go for a run?
And change places?

With these words, the children quickly run to the opposite wall, trying to occupy the free chairs. There are one fewer chairs than players. The one left without a chair is eliminated from the game. The chairs are also removed one by one. The game is repeated until the winner takes the last chair.

Game "Fox and Hares"

Children move according to instructions in the text:

Along the forest lawn
The bunnies ran away.
These are the bunnies
Running bunnies.
(Children-bunnies run around the hall)
The bunnies sat in a circle,
They dig the root with their paw.
These are the bunnies
Running bunnies.
(“The bunnies” sit down and “dig” roots)
Here is a fox running -
Red-haired sister.
Looking for where the bunnies are,
Running bunnies.

(The fox runs between the kids. When the song ends, she catches up with the kids).

Game "Winter Mood"

The leader divides the children into 2 teams. Each team receives a small fishing rod with a hook.

Near each team there is a large blue hoop - a “pond”. In the pond there are toy fish with loops at the mouth, according to the number of participants. To the rhythmic music, the captains go to the pond, hook a fish with a fishing rod, and put it in the buckets of their teams. Then the fishing rod is passed on to the next participant. The winner is the team that finishes fishing first.

And what would a holiday be without music? Pick it up in advance, music always creates a festive atmosphere. And children always like such musical games.

Game “We are funny kittens”

The presenter turns on cheerful music. Children break into pairs and dance.
The presenter says: “We are funny kittens,” and the couples are separated. Each one shows a dancing kitten.

It is also very good to offer children various winter riddles. Children enjoy reciting poems and singing songs to Grandfather Frost. And they love to receive gifts.

Let's watch a video of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden playing various interesting games with children! There are a lot of ideas here.

Progress of the master class.

Good afternoon, dear colleagues and leaders of school government! Today I would like to present some practical aspects of my experience on the topic: “Kaleidoscope of New Year's games.”
- The purpose of the master class is to demonstrate and master games and game exercises,
which will help you effectively develop communication and social skills in schoolchildren during the New Year holidays.
- Today we will talk to you about mass music and round dance games in a circle and about New Year's games with the audience.
- On the eve of the New Year holidays, when there will be New Year's events in order to have fun and not harm your health, I want to talk about mass musical games in a circle and playful round dances. Musical games and round dances are faithful helpers in organizing New Year's holidays for children. They unite, bring together, and foster a sense of collectivism.
-Game round dances are a closed ring of children and characters holding hands, performing a whole range of game exercises, including music, singing, free movements, expressive reading poetry, pantomime.
- Game round dances are very diverse in their formations, but the initial form is a circle. The most common is double circle-circle in a circle. Let's form an outer and inner circle and face each other. The number of people in the inner circle must be equal to the number of people in the outer circle. Such round dances are held to get acquainted with big amount children.
Music sounds - you walk clockwise, as soon as the music stops sounding, you stop opposite each other, pronounce words accompanied by movements.
Hello Friend! (we shake hands)
What is your name? (put hand on shoulder)
Where have you been? (tugged her partner's ear)
I missed? (put your hand to your heart)
You came? (hands to the side)
Fine! (hug)
- We repeat this several times.
The game is being played.
- Next music game in double circle. Music sounds - you walk clockwise, as soon as the music stops sounding, you stop opposite each other and say your name or New Year's wishes. Since we have already met, let's tell each other a New Year's wish.
The game is being played.
- We remain in our places. Another musical game in a circle.
-Let's try to dance game round dances, in which the tempo of the music and the speed of movements gradually increase. Your task is to listen to the music and repeat the movements. Let's say the words and learn the movements.
Performance of musical New Year's round dances:
1. "We'll hang the balloons."
Lyrics of the song.
We will hang the balls, (connect fingers one by one to form circles)
And then the flashlights, (flashlights)
And then more rain (we draw the index fingers from top to bottom)
Let's not forget about snowflakes. (open palms)
Gilded fish, (two palms together)
Cheerful lights (sun)
Let's sketch out the tinsel (smooth hand movements in turn)
We continue the game. (clap our hands)
2. Second round dance. “We shovel snow with our hands...”
Lyrics of the song.
We rake the snow with our hands: we sculpt it, we sculpt it into a big lump.
And once again we rake it up: we sculpt, we sculpt into another lump.
We sculpt arms, sculpt legs to run along the path.
We sculpt eyes, sculpt eyebrows and a long nose with carrots.
3. Third round dance. "We'll go left now..."
Lyrics of the song.
We'll go right first one, two, three
Now let's go left one, two, three
Let's quickly get ready for the Christmas tree one, two, three
Let's disperse just as quickly, one, two, three
We'll sit down quietly one, two, three
And let's stand up slightly one, two, three
Dance our feet one, two, three
And clap your hands one, two, three
Musical games in a circle are a must. Despite their apparent simplicity and the main game point, their importance is difficult to overestimate. They develop a sense of rhythm and ear for music, help improve motor skills, and facilitate the adaptation process: they make children feel good about each other, liberate them, teach them to act together and cooperate.
I suggest you play. I will demonstrate the movements to the music, and you repeat after me.
Lyrics:
We took a large handful of snow (take a handful)
And they began to form lumps. (make lumps)
Let's squeeze the snow tightly in our hands and start playing snowballs!!! (compact the lumps, throw)
Lyrics of the second song
Introduction – holding hands, they walk in a circle.
1. We stomp our feet like bears one - two - three
We dance around the Christmas tree like bears one, two, three.
They spin around like cubs.
2. We will happily jump like bunnies one - two - three
We dance around the Christmas tree like bunnies one, two, three.
They make ears and make a spring.
LOSS - holding hands, they walk in a circle.
3. We will twist our tail like squirrels once - two - three
We dance like squirrels around the Christmas tree once, twice, three times.
Tails, hands - plates.
LOSS - holding hands, they walk in a circle.
4. We will clap our hands at the Christmas tree once - two - three
We dance around the Christmas tree like children once, twice, three times.

Flashlights with a “spring with a twist”
LOSS - holding hands, they walk in a circle.
Lyrics of the third song:
Losing: going in circles
1.2.3.4.5 let's start dancing
Music plays louder
Helps all the kids.
We stopped. Performing the movements
Everyone clapped their hands,
They stomped their feet.
Right leg 1.2.3
Left leg 1.2.3.
And let's spin around a little.
Let's go in circles
Let's take each other's hands
And come to me quickly.
Everyone smiled, everyone was pleased.
Now let's go back.
1.2.3.4.5, let's continue dancing.
Let's jump high
We kick our legs.
Everyone clapped their hands,
They stomped their feet.
Right leg 1.2.3
Left leg 1.2.3.
And let's spin around a little.

Let's take each other's hands
And come to me quickly.
We laughed, everyone enjoyed it.
Now let's go back.

I offer New Year's games in a circle, which are accompanied by music.
- In a circle to the music you pass specially prepared “SNOW BALLS”. As soon as the music stops playing, the one who still has the snowball in his hands goes out into the circle and starts dancing.
The game is being played.
-There is also a wonderful game called “Snow Fortress”. I invite 10 people. You need to stand in one line along right hand from me. I invite 10 more people. You need to stand in one line along left hand from me. You need to throw through the “snow fortress” to the music. As soon as the music ends, we will count down whose side has the fewest snowballs left, the winner.
The game is being played.
- There is another interesting game. Here at DDT, the children love her very much. It's called "Dancing Rubber Band". I will ask 10 people to come out into the inner circle. Music plays, you walk clockwise in a circle inside the rubber band. As soon as the music stops, you need to jump out of it. The last person to touch the rubber band or get tangled in it is eliminated from the game.
The game is being played.
- An arbitrary number of children are invited to play at the New Year’s party “Chasing a Toy.” I invite 10 people. You form a circle with a small table or stool in the center. There are Christmas tree decorations on the table. Their number is one less than the number of participants in the game. Music is playing, you are running in circles, dancing. As soon as the music stops, you need to take the toy from the chair. Those who don't have enough leave. The number of toys on the table is also reduced by one. The one who takes the last toy wins. To prevent children from injuring their hands, toys should not be glass.
The game is being played.
- Game "Entertainers". Children stand in a circle, with an entertainer in the center. Children walk in a circle saying:
"In an even circle
One after another
We are going step by step.
Stand still
Together together
Let's do it like this"
The children stop, the entertainer (fairy-tale character) shows the movements. The children repeat it, the entertainer changes. Rule: movements should not be repeated.

Games with the audience help to lift the spirits of the children and set them up emotionally during the holiday, remove noise in the hall, and also fill an unexpected pause during any event.
Game “Christmas trees happen”
We decorated the Christmas tree with different toys, and in the forest there are different types of Christmas trees, wide, short, tall, thin.
Now, if I say “high,” raise your hands up.
“Low” - squat and lower your arms.
“Wide” - make the circle wider.
“Thin” - make a circle already.
Now let's play!
(The presenter plays, trying to confuse the children)

Game “What grows on our Christmas tree? I will ask you questions, and you answer in unison
What grows on our Christmas tree?
Pink needle? A bright toy?
Delicious cheesecake?
Huge bump?
A clumsy bear?
Sounding thin ice?
Children's round dance?
White snowflake?
Bright picture?
Father's car?
Torn picture?
Icicles, tinsel?
Fun game?
The series can be continued indefinitely, naming new objects each time. It is advisable to be able to name the words in rhyme, then the game will be fun and the children may make mistakes.
- Or this is a game. The words are spoken, and you repeat the movements after me.
We clap our hands, stomp our feet to the beat
We will give up on everything. Let's clap once over our heads.
Let's take our neighbors by the hands, raise our hands to the sky
They swayed to the right, to the left, froze, and stayed there.
They stood up, sat down, stood up, sat down. You didn’t sit down together, you need to do it all over again.
(The game starts over, until the words “Get up, sat down”)
I immediately wanted to scream.
It’s impossible not to know these words; everyone in this room (together) is friends.
The game is being played
- Next game. The children answer the host’s questions in unison with the phrase “Because it’s New Year!”
Why is there fun all around, Laughter and jokes without worries?..
Why are cheerful guests expected to arrive?..
Why does everyone make a wish in advance?..
Why will the path of knowledge lead you to “A” grades?..
Why does the Christmas tree playfully wink at you with its lights?..
Why is everyone waiting here for the Snow Maiden and Grandfather today?..
Why do children dance in a circle in an elegant hall?..
Why does Santa Claus send good luck and peace to the guys?..
The game is being played
-Game "Snowball". We pronounce the words and repeat the movements after me. The words are repeated several times with an increased tempo.
We made a snowball (we dance in a circle). I follow him one step at a time. The lump grew larger and rolled faster. The lump became larger and larger and rolled faster (we are accelerating both in speech and in movements) The lump became larger and larger and rolled faster (we are still accelerating) It hit the gate! Bang! Collapsed! (we carefully fall) We get out of the snowdrift (we get up) And shake off our clothes.
- What a New Year without competitions! I offer several options.
Competition "New Year's Chest". A chest is passed around in a circle accompanied by music, from which multi-colored ribbons are visible. As soon as the music stops, you choose the color of the ribbon you like and receive a gift or task.
The game is being played.
- Game “Gift Auction”, usually held by Santa Claus
(Santa Claus places a large elegant satin bag in the middle of the hall.)
Santa Claus: Here is a bag - it’s elegant! Let's hold an auction! Whoever actively responds receives the gift!
(The satin bag contains 7 multi-colored paper bags. The bags are placed one inside the other (like a nesting doll), and tied with bright bows. On each bag, one letter is large marked, making up the word “gifts.” During the game, Santa Claus unties the bow and takes out the bag from the bag, holds an auction for each letter and gives a gift to the child who gave his answer last - gifts begin with the corresponding letters.
Santa Claus: The letter “Pe” asks everyone to name Winter songs now!
If you want to sing, sing
After all, it’s time for fun! (Children name songs about winter.)
Santa Claus: Winter is good with snow. But the song is also good! I give you the gingerbread, eat it slowly! (Santa Claus unties the bag, takes out a gingerbread, hands it over, then takes out the next one from this bag - with the letter “O”; he places the previous bag on the other side of himself, thus, the winning bags will be placed next to each other and at the end of the game the children will read the letters with all bags into a single word “gifts”.)
Santa Claus: The letter “O” notifies - Festive lunch has been served
And he invites friends to the table! What’s not on the table!
What will you treat your friends to? Name the treats! (Children list holiday treats.)
Santa Claus: You are a scientist for a treat,
The prize is a gilded nut! (Santa Claus unties the bag, takes out a walnut in gilded foil, and then a bag with the letter “D.”)
Santa Claus: Letter "De" trees remember
He really asks for you, kids!
I’ve dressed them up in silvery frost more than once! (Children say the names of the trees.)
Santa Claus: You are an exemplary student,
I'll give you a diary! (Santa Claus unties the bag, hands him the diary and takes out the bag with the letter “A”.)
Santa Claus: The letter “A” is about an orange. He wants to ask the kids! Come on, tell Grandfather, what kind of person can he be? (Children describe the appearance and taste of an orange.)
Santa Claus: How beautiful the tree is, Its outfit beckons the eye! Orange for health
I am very happy to give! (Santa Claus hands over an orange and takes out a bag with the letter “R”.)
Father Frost: The letter “eR” brings joy to everyone:
Let everyone remember
The fact that it brings joy to the mood, without a doubt! (Children remember everything that makes them happy.)
Santa Claus: Today is a joy for me
Deliver the school prize to you
- Write with this pen
You can do something with an A! (Santa Claus hands over a pen and takes out a bag with the letter “K”.)
Father Frost: The letter “Ka” speaks of carnival and costumes; Asks you to name the Carnival appearance! (Children call carnival costumes.)
Father Frost: All the masks were good,
Okay, you know the fairy tales!
I remember this one (names the last answer)
Get some candy! (Santa Claus hands over candy and takes out a bag with the letter “I”.)
Father Frost: The letter “I” wants to hear Games of winter snowy days! You know them guys, speak quickly! (Children list winter games.)
Father Frost: I must admit, I like these winter fun!
I want to give you a toy
- There’s nothing more! (Santa Claus unties the last bag, takes out a Christmas tree toy from it, hands it over, then turns the bag upside down and shakes it, thereby showing that it is empty.)
Father Frost: My bag is empty and light
- Our auction is over!
I gave away my gifts
It's time to have a carnival!
- There is another one interesting competition game"New Year's box"
The presenter reads 3 clues to the children, with the help of which they should guess the surprises lying in the elegant box.
The smartest ones receive sweet prizes.
Not a Christmas tree, but an elegant one; Not a musician, but loves to play; It’s not the baby, but “mom” who speaks. (Doll)
Not a watermelon, but a round one; Not a hare, but jumping; It's not a bicycle, it's rolling. (Ball)
Not a gnome, but in a cap; Not a car, but refueling; Not an artist, but a painter. (Felt pen)

Not a ladle, but scoops; Not a door, but with a handle; Not a cook, but a feeder. (Spoon)
