Comic New Year competitions for adults. Outdoor New Year's games and competitions for a large company

Have you already started preparing competitions for New Year 2018? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and competitions for the New Year, and found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Dog cheerfully and joyfully.

How to prepare for competitions and games: fun and interesting competitions for the New Year will help save even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company of a TV, not to mention a party for fun company. However, it is best to prepare a little.

1. Make a plan for games and competitions. A group of adults will need to eat, raise their glasses to the New Year, and dance, so game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.

2. Prepare your props. Having decided what you will play at home for the New Year, make a list of what you will need for this or that competition. It's best to organize props and prizes into themed competitions (I use small gift bags for this).

3. Stock up on prizes. People really like to receive small funny prizes - candies, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It’s better to take extra prizes.

4. It is better to make supporting materials on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on regular cards in advance, this is much more convenient than using one large script.

5. Select music, identify your helpers, prepare a place for games.

COLLECTION OF COMPETITIONS AND GAMES

A. "WISHES"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of competitions where guests don’t have to do anything - for example, they can be asked to burst balloons with wishes inside.

You need to prepare in advance a large bunch of balloons (their number should be greater than the number of guests, just in case), inside which notes with wishes are inserted. For example, you can give a guest scissors and invite him to cut off the ball he likes, and then read it aloud to all the guests - such a simple but cute entertainment helps the company have fun and unite.

B. “NUMBERS”

New Year's games and competitions based on the question-and-answer model always receive a lot of applause. It’s no wonder - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the host hands out small pieces of paper and pens to the guests and invites them to write down Favorite number(or any other number that comes to mind). If you wish, you can record some sequence and play several circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the presenter says that now everyone present will be able to learn more about each other - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them, holding up a piece of paper with the numbers written down, and loudly announcing the answer.

It is best to choose simple questions - how old is this or that guest, how many times a day does he eat, how much does he weigh, how many times has he stayed for a second year, and so on.

C. “NOT A WORD OF TRUTH”

My favorite pastimes are funny competitions for the New Year. Of course, for a group of pensioners you will need to choose something more decent, but in your circle you can always have fun - for example, by playing the game “Not a Word of the Truth”.

The presenter will need to prepare in advance many New Year's questions, such as these:

What tree is traditionally decorated for the holiday?
. What film in our country symbolizes the New Year?
. what is customary to launch into the sky in New Year's Eve?
. who is sculpted from snow in winter?
. who on TV addresses Russians with New Year's speech?
. The outgoing year is the year of whom according to the Chinese calendar?

It’s better to write down more questions, you can ask about New Year’s traditions different countries, or the habits of guests. During the game, the host will have to quickly and cheerfully ask his questions, and the guests will answer, without saying a word of the truth.

The one who makes a mistake and answers truthfully, based on the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various wishes - you can use wishes to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to put several tangerine slices in both cheeks and say something like “ I’m a hamster and I eat grain, don’t touch it - it’s mine, and whoever takes it is the end!” Bursts of laughter are guaranteed - both during the game and during the “punishment” of the losing participant.

D. "MAINT SHOOTER"

As entertainment for the New Year 2018, you can play snipers. It’s most fun to play this game when the participants are already a little tipsy - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it’s a little more difficult to hit the target.

The essence of the game is as follows - the guests are divided into two teams, and in turn each player throws “snowballs” into a bucket. The bucket is placed at a distance of five to seven meters from the players; as “snowballs” you can use lumps of cotton wool, crumpled paper, or just take a couple of sets of simple Christmas balls made of plastic, which are sold in any supermarket.

I decided to improve this game for a New Year's party 2018 for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a “goal” - hitting them with a soft ball of cotton wool is even more difficult than hitting a bucket.

E. “NEW YEAR’S DECORATIONS”

Certainly, New Year's competitions for adults they may be less athletic.

All those present should be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The teams are given the task of building a New Year's ball. For production, you can only use toiletries, accessories and jewelry that the team members are wearing. The team that makes the brightest and most beautiful ball wins.

By the way, a small life hack - in every company there are people who do not actively participate in competitions and try to just sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint them to the jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to make a short speech into an improvised microphone. This way they will be simultaneously involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled out from the table.

And of course the view dear mother, who speaks soulfully into a glass of champagne instead of a microphone about how grateful she is to Mikhalkov and the Film Academy for the opportunity to see the ice battle in her own living room - priceless. :))

F. "COME, FOREST DEER"

By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a corporate event for the New Year or for a party that will not take place in a city apartment, then be sure to play Santa with his reindeer. There is no need to divide the guests into teams; it is enough to simply invite them to split into pairs.

Each pair has a “reindeer” and a “Santa” (you can give one improvised antlers, and the other Santa hats - both are sold for mere pennies in a fixed price store before the new year).

The “deer” needs to be blindfolded and made into a harness - no need to split hairs, a simple clothesline or cord that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his “reindeer.” A track is built from the pins, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. Those participants who reach the finish line earlier than others and do not knock down the pins win. Instead of skittles, you can use empty bottles, cardboard drink cups or paper cones (we made them in the shape of Christmas trees, it was very cute).

G. "COLLECTIVE LETTER"

When it comes to New Year's games at the table, I always remember how my parents and friends wrote a collective New Year's greetings for everyone present. You can use a ready-made text (as in the image), you can create your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - the guests should call them.

The host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say a big and beautiful toast - and waves a postcard on which he has already written a congratulation. Only he didn’t have enough adjectives, and the guests must suggest them. Everyone randomly offers adjectives related to winter, New Year and holiday, and the presenter writes them down and then reads out the result - the text turns out to be very funny!

H. “TURNIP: NEW YEAR’S VERSION”

If you love New Year's competitions for the whole family, then turnip is what you need!

So, you need to prepare the participants - they need to match the number of characters in the fairy tale. Each participant gets a role in an impromptu performance. It's simple, the participant needs to remember the key phrase and movement that he must act out when mentioning himself.

1. The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation “Both-on!”
2. Grandfather rubs his palms and grunts, “Yesss!”
3. The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, “I would have killed him!”
4. The granddaughter dances and sings “I’m ready!” in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
5. The bug itches and complains of fleas.
6. The cat wags its “tail” and mannerly drawls “And I’m on my own.”
7. The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says, “We’ve finished the game!”

After everyone has tried themselves new role, the presenter reads the text of the fairy tale (no changes here), and the actors act out their role whenever they hear about themselves. The grandfather planted (rubs his hands and grunts) a turnip (clap-clap, both of them!) and further according to the text. Believe me, there will be enough bursts of laughter, especially when the fairy tale comes to the end, and the presenter will list all the participants in turn.

I. “STRICTLY ALPHABETICALLY”

During one of the pauses, the presenter takes the floor and reminds everyone present that the New Year’s celebration is just beginning, but it’s already difficult to remember the alphabet. In this connection, the presenter offers to fill the glasses and raise a toast to the New Year, but strictly in alphabetical order.

Each guest must make a short toast to his letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second one should start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:

1. It is absolutely necessary to drink to happiness in the new year!
2. Let's be healthy in the new year!
3. Let's drink to old year!
4. If we don’t get drunk, we’ll have to eat!

The task for everyone present is to make toasts for each letter of the alphabet, and then choose the winner - the one who came up with best toast, which is worth a drink!

J. "BUNNIES"

Do you want to pick up outdoor games for the new year 2018 - play bunny. On New Year's Eve, it is best to play this game at home when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.

Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands, the leader walks around all the players in a circle and whispers to everyone the names of two animals - a wolf and a bunny, a fox and a bunny, and so on. Then he explains the essence of the game - when the presenter says the name of the animal out loud, the person for whom it was given crouches, and his neighbors on the left and right, on the contrary, pull him up, preventing him from crouching. You need to play at a good pace so that the participants get into a frenzy.

The main joke of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people have taken turns squatting to the names of other animals, the leader says “Bunny!”, and the whole circle suddenly tries to sit down (trying to overcome the possible resistance of neighbors, as was the case with other animals).

Naturally, everyone starts laughing, and a pile of small things gathers on the floor!

K. “NEWS FROM THE NEW YEAR”

A great competition that you can play without leaving the table.

The presenter will need to prepare cards on which unrelated words and concepts will be written - five or six words, no more needed. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with the hottest news from the New Year's issue, using all the words from the card. What to write on cards? Any set of words.

China, dumplings, roses, Wimbledon, lilac.
. Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, bag.
. New Year 2018, fan, tights, pan, scabies.
. Santa Claus, dog, herring, stapler, barrier.
. Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.

How to come up with news? Set an example for your guests by showing them that all words need to be used, and the stranger the news, the more interesting it is.

Well, for example, from the last example I gave, you can build something like this: “In the Moscow Zoo, during winter washing, a rug was discovered in a boa constrictor.” There will be a reason to be surprised, and laugh, and drink to the fact that all the news in the new 2018 will be just as positive.

L. “LEAPING INTO THE NEW YEAR”

We are in family circle As a form of entertainment for the New Year, we often arrange jumping, and 2018 will not be an exception, I’m sure - this is already a kind of tradition.

So, how it happens: after drinking for the outgoing year, the presenter brings markers and pencils (the brighter the better) and a large sheet of paper (Whatman paper A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump - so that it passes dynamically, energetically and brightly!

And for all your wishes to come true, you need to draw them. On large sheet everyone draws their desires - some manage to draw several miniatures, for others it is enough to sketch what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually completed or the finishing touches are remaining. After the president’s speech, the presenter invites everyone to join hands, count out the chimes in unison, and solemnly jump into the new year and into the success of their own desires!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and next year checking who has what has come true is also a topic for table conversation, by the way.

M. "MOST - MOST"

Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. Good way keep the guests busy - give them unique tasks, but few people want to just compete, right?

Therefore, we do the following - we hang sweets or small gifts on the Christmas tree. It is best to opt for figured chocolate or other sweet Christmas tree decorations. We provide each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we write not names, but some definitions that the guests will have to think about and get to know each other better (ideal when there are newcomers who need to join the existing company).

What to write on labels:

1. The owner of the brownest eyes.
2. To the best jumper in height.
3. To the biggest hooligan (here you will have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
4. The owner of the best tan.
5. The owner of the highest heels.
6. The owner of the most dangerous job.
7. A couple whose number of buttons on their clothes is 10.
8. To the one who is wearing more yellow today.

I think you understand the main message. Guests will independently begin to find out who vacationed where, who has a brighter tan, measure the length of their heels and discuss work.

N. “SONG FROM A HAT”

By the way, almost all New Year's competitions at the table involve playing with a hat - some notes are thrown into the hat in advance, and then they are pulled out and carried out tasks for relatives or colleagues.

In the New Year 2018, we will play with our family a popular variation of this game with songs. You need to scribble notes with winter and New Year's words into the hat, each guest blindly takes a note out of the hat and sings a song in which this word appears.

By the way, you will be able to have fun even if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will have a great idea to compose a small song on the go to the most popular tune, or somehow remake one of the famous New Year's songs previous years.

By the way, this game is also suitable for non- big company of any age - of course, a schoolchild is unlikely to recognize Soviet songs, but the result will be funny, and different age groups will be able to get closer while playing - after all, cool New Year's competitions unite!

O. "MITTENS"

Naturally, New Year's competitions for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?

So, the girls put on robes or shirts, and the guys are given thick winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to quickly button up the girls' shirts so that they don't freeze!

By the way, my friends, who love various New Year's competitions for teenagers and young people, wanted to do this competition in reverse - freeing the girls from their shirts, however, they were forced to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even with mittens it is convenient to pull the hem of the shirt and tear off all the buttons at once. Therefore, it is better to fasten it; it is not easy to do this in mittens.

P. “LET’S DRAW GRANDFATHER CLAUS”

Creative New Year competitions for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.

So, holes are made for the hands in a thick sheet of cardboard. We give the players tassels, they must stick their hands into the holes and portray Santa Claus. At this moment they cannot see what they are drawing.

At work, you can divide the team into male and women's team, and give the task to some to portray the Snow Maiden, and to others - Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to a fairy-tale character.

By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to find funny music - I use cuts from Soviet children's cartoons for the 2018 New Year's competitions, this usually evokes the warmest emotions.

Q. "LET'S ASSIGN ROLES"

Begin fun competitions For the New Year, your family can enjoy this kind of entertainment.

Prepare more attributes of fairy-tale New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty Kinder capsules (you can simply wrap them in wrapping paper like candy) and start games at the table for the New Year with an offer to find out who is running the show.

Everyone present must play their part. These could be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the Snow Queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his reindeer. Provide small attributes to all guests that will be relevant to their role that night - e.g. snow queen a crown is suitable, Santa Claus can loudly knock with his elegant staff, and a company of oversized bunnie boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as Grandma Winter or Mikhailo Potapych, who specially woke up for competitions for the New Year 2018 and New Year's dances, begins to speak a toast.

R. “PHOTO TESTS”

Which cool competitions for the new year without photos?

Make an area for photography and collect some props in this corner - guests will be able to take pictures in different images, and then you can arrange photo tests. So, you will need to determine who is suitable for the role:

The most decrepit snowflake;
. the sleepiest guest;
. the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
. the hungriest Santa Claus;
. the most generous Santa Claus;
. the kindest Santa Claus;
. the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
. the most overfed guest;
. himself cheerful guest;
. the most cunning Baba Yaga;
. the evil Kashchei himself;
. the strongest hero;
. the most capricious princess;
. the biggest snowflake;
. and so on…

By the way, you can hold this competition a little differently - stock up on props, and invite guests to draw, without looking, the role in which they will be photographed, and the rest of the participants should help with advice and deeds to better embody the image. You can laugh during the process, and when you look at the pictures - fortunately, you can do this in just a few minutes.

S. “LITTLE THINGS FROM GRANDFATHER COLA”

Tell your guests this legend about how Santa Claus was walking through the forest with gifts, fell with one foot into a snowdrift and spilled gifts from the bag. The big ones remained in the bag, but the small presents fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.

Wrap all kinds of nice little things that you bought in advance in opaque packaging or a home-made box, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of fabric, like miniature bags, tied with a thick thread or ribbon.

Pleasant little things can include: calendar cards, candles, keychains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.

Every time it surprises with what trepidation guests wait for these gifts... Not only children, but even adults :-)

Well, and finally, be a good magician and predictor, one more thing New Year's entertainment:

Now you know how my holiday will go, and what games you will have for New Year's corporate party or home party? Share your ideas, because it’s better to prepare table games for the New Year and interesting competitions in advance, and 2018 is just around the corner!

These games can be played at a home party, at a holiday work party, or at a New Year's corporate party.

These games will amuse all the guests and make the New Year's holiday fun and interesting.

Games and entertainment for the New Year for adults

New Year's game. What will Santa Claus give?

This team game. It is necessary to divide the guests into teams of several people (you can form family teams, teams of brunettes and blondes, teams of girls and boys, teams based on the letters in their names). Assignment: depict the presenter’s story with facial expressions and gestures. Actions must be performed simultaneously by all team members.

“Every New Year, Santa Claus comes knocking on our door with a whole bag of gifts. He gave dad (a hat, a comb, glasses). Let all right hand They will show you how dad (combs his hair, puts on a hat, tries on glasses). He gave his son (skates, skis, rollerblades). Show how your son walks (skis, skates, roller skates), but don’t stop combing his hair. (Hereinafter each new gift- a new movement added to the previous one.) He gave his mother a meat grinder - rotate it with your left hand. He brought his daughter a gift (a bear, a doll, a dog), who bats her eyelashes and says “mom” (“woof”, “meow”), and he gave his grandmother a Chinese dummy that shakes its head.”

The winner is the team that managed to show everything without faltering.

New Year's game. Calendar

For this game you need to prepare tear-off calendar sheets in advance. This game will help guests get to know each other better and form pairs for the evening. Girls can be given pieces of paper with an even number, boys - with an odd number. Throughout the festive evening, the owners of the leaflets are given various tasks.

Tasks should be offered during the break between dishes, after noisy games: for example, gather by month, by day of the week, find yesterday (for example, September 25 is looking for September 24, etc.).

The host of the evening can offer a story that uses different numbers, all guests must listen to the story carefully and respond to their number.

For example: “Exactly 3 hours are left until the minute the clock strikes 12” (the owner of the number “12” or “1” and “2”, etc. comes forward.” The story can be thought up in advance, or you can improvise.

New Year's game. Let's dance in pairs

This game is played during a dance minute. The presenter calls any two-digit number, and the players gather in pairs so that the sum of the numbers on their sheets is equal to this number. For example, 26. This means that a pair is made up of players who have calendar sheets with the numbers 10 plus 16, or 20 plus 6, or 25 plus 1. The first one to form a pair wins.

New Year's game. "Spruce" words

Assignment: everyone sitting at the table takes turns naming the words that contain “a spruce tree.” Condition: used only common nouns nouns in the nominative case. The one who could not name the word gives his forfeit, which will be played together with others.

We offer possible word options: blizzard, caramel, jelly, dolphin, orange, writer, driver, delta, teacher, carousel, furniture, gorge, bum, drops, briefcase, stranded, goal, panel, rail, new settlers, potatoes, mill, dumpling , Monday.

If the players find it difficult to name the words, the presenter can help them by coming up with an explanation of the word. For example: a delicacy that children adore is “caramel”..

New Year's riddles

If you need to fill a pause, New Year's riddles are suitable. They can be easily solved by both adults and children. You can wrap candies in leaves with riddles and hang them on the Christmas tree; each guest chooses his own riddle and receives a sweet prize. You can cut out snowflakes from thick paper, write riddles on them and hang them on the Christmas tree. You can make it snow by throwing snowflakes on your guests. Whoever catches it guesses. You can put leaves with riddles in balloons and inflate them. Guests catch the ball themselves with their own riddles.

You can use another option - smart dominoes. To do this, you will have to prepare cards in advance.

To draw a festive fun lotto, you need to prepare props. On one card is written the word that needs to be interpreted, on the other - the interpretation. The presenter places a card with a word that needs to be interpreted on the table, and the guests lay out an interpretation card next to it (all guests are given the same number of cards). Thinking time is 5 seconds, then the card is put aside or someone tries to come up with the answer themselves. The winner is the player who gets rid of his interpretation cards the fastest.

An example of word cards for the presenter: loaf, barrel, misfortune, limestone, lower back, fermented baked milk, starving.

Interpretation cards. New Year's cracker; sharp winter wind; carnival mask for a dog; famous singer; gift instructions; Christmas tree; foreign guest.

For example, the Dwarf's cap, Pinocchio's nose, Hottabych's turban, Cinderella's slipper, Little Red Riding Hood's hat, Malvina's blue wig. Each guest takes turns guessing fairy-tale characters and receives these things. Task: the guest in the appropriate image must wish everyone a Happy New Year. The one who finds the most accurate image wins.

New Year's game. Snowman

Guests are divided into pairs. Each pair is given a piece of Whatman paper with a drawn snowman and a carrot nose made of plasticine. One player from the pair holds a sheet of paper with a picture of a snowman, the other, blindfolded, tries to stick a plasticine carrot nose on the snowman. The one who attaches the carrot correctly and quickly wins.

New Year's game. "Let's sing, friends"

Cases for Kinder surprises are hung on the Christmas tree in advance. Inside each there is a note with the word winter theme: Christmas tree, snowflake, frost, snow, winter, frost. Guests remove the Kinder Surprise from the tree and take turns singing a verse from a song whose lyrics contain the word that appears in their note. The winner is determined by applause.

Have you already started preparing competitions for the New Year 2019? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and competitions for the New Year, and found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Pig cheerfully and joyfully.

How to prepare for competitions and games: fun and interesting competitions for the New Year will help save even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company of a TV, not to mention a party for a cheerful company. However, it is best to prepare a little.

Make a plan for games and competitions. A group of adults will need to eat, raise their glasses to the New Year, and dance, so the game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.
Prepare your props. Having decided what you will play at home for the New Year, make a list of what you will need for this or that competition. It's best to organize props and prizes into themed competitions (I use small gift bags for this).
Stock up on prizes. People really like to receive small funny prizes - candies, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It’s better to take extra prizes.
It is better to make auxiliary materials on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on regular cards in advance, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
Select music, identify your helpers, prepare a place for games.

Collection of competitions and games

"Wishes"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of competitions are those where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be asked to burst balloons with wishes inside.

"Tsiferki"

New Year's games and competitions based on the question-and-answer model always receive a lot of applause. It’s no wonder - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the host hands out small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and invites them to write down their favorite number (or any other number that comes to mind). If you wish, you can record some sequence and play several circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the presenter says that now everyone present will be able to learn more about each other - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them, holding up a piece of paper with the numbers written down, and loudly announcing the answer.

It is best to choose simple questions - how old is this or that guest, how many times a day does he eat, how much does he weigh, how many times has he stayed for a second year, and so on.

"Not a word of truth"

The presenter will need to prepare in advance many New Year's questions, such as these:

What tree is traditionally decorated for the holiday?
What film in our country symbolizes the New Year?
What is customary to launch into the sky on New Year's Eve?
who is sculpted from snow in winter?
who on TV addresses Russians with a New Year's speech?
The outgoing year is the year of whom according to the Chinese calendar?

It’s better to write down more questions; you can ask about New Year’s traditions in different countries, or the habits of guests. During the game, the host will have to quickly and cheerfully ask his questions, and the guests will answer, without saying a word of the truth.

The one who makes a mistake and answers truthfully, based on the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various wishes - you can use wishes to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to put several slices of tangerine in both cheeks and say something like “I’m a hamster and I eat grain, don’t touch it - it’s mine, and whoever takes it will be finished!”. Bursts of laughter are guaranteed - both during the game and during the “punishment” of the losing participant.

"Accurate shooter"

As entertainment for the New Year 2019, you can play snipers. It’s most fun to play this game when the participants are already a little tipsy - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it’s a little more difficult to hit the target.

I decided to improve this game for a New Year's party 2019 for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a “goal” - hitting them with a soft ball of cotton wool is even more difficult than hitting a bucket.

"New Year decoration"

Of course, New Year's competitions for adults can be less sporting.

By the way, a little life hack- in every company there are people who do not actively participate in competitions and try to just sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint them to the jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to make a short speech into an improvised microphone. This way they will be simultaneously involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled out from the table.

And of course, the sight of my own mother, who soulfully speaks into a glass of champagne instead of a microphone about how grateful she is to Mikhalkov and the Film Academy for the opportunity to see the ice battle in her own living room is priceless. :))

"Come, forest deer"

Each pair has a “reindeer” and a “Santa” (you can give one improvised antlers, and the other Santa hats - both are sold for mere pennies in a fixed price store before the new year).

"Collective Letter"

When it comes to New Year's games at the table, I always remember how my parents and friends wrote a collective New Year's greeting for everyone present every New Year. You can use a ready-made text (as in the image), you can create your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - the guests should call them.

"Turnip: New Year's version"

If you love New Year's competitions for the whole family, then turnip is what you need!

The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation “Both-on!”
Grandfather rubs his palms and grunts, “Yes, sir!”
The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, “I would have killed him!”
The granddaughter dances and sings “I’m ready!” in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
The bug itches and complains of fleas.
The cat wags its tail and mannerly drawls, “And I’m on my own.”
The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says, “We’ve finished the game!”

After everyone has tried themselves in a new role, the presenter reads the text of the fairy tale (no changes here), and the actors act out their role whenever they hear about themselves. The grandfather planted (rubs his hands and grunts) a turnip (clap-clap, both of them!) and further according to the text. Believe me, there will be enough bursts of laughter, especially when the fairy tale comes to the end, and the presenter will list all the participants in turn.

"Strictly in alphabetical order"

During one of the pauses, the presenter takes the floor and reminds everyone present that the New Year’s celebration is just beginning, but it’s already difficult to remember the alphabet. In this connection, the presenter suggests filling the glasses and raising them, but strictly in alphabetical order.

Each guest must make a short toast to his letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second one should start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:

A It is absolutely necessary to drink to happiness in the new year!
B Let's go healthy in the new year!
IN Let's drink to the old year!
E If we don’t get drunk, we’ll have to eat!

The task for everyone present is to make toasts for each letter of the alphabet, and then choose the winner - the one who came up with the best toast, which is worth drinking for!

"Bunnies"

If you want to pick up outdoor games for the New Year 2019, play bunny. On New Year's Eve, it is best to play this game at home when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.

Naturally, everyone starts laughing, and a pile of small things gathers on the floor!

"News from the New Year"

A great competition that you can play without leaving the table.

China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, bag.
New Year 2019, fan, tights, pan, scabies.
Santa Claus, pig, herring, stapler, barrier.
Nettle, tinsel, Kirkorov, fishing rod, plane.
Football, shovel, snow, Snow Maiden, tangerines.
Snowman, beard, tights, bicycle, school.
Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.

How to come up with news? Set an example for your guests by showing them that all words need to be used, and the stranger the news, the more interesting it is.

"We're jumping into the New Year"

As a family, we often organize jumping as an entertainment for the New Year, and 2019 will not be an exception, I’m sure - this is already a kind of tradition.

And for all your wishes to come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - some manage to draw several miniatures, for others it is enough to sketch what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually completed or the finishing touches are remaining. After the president’s speech, the presenter invites everyone to join hands, count down the chimes in unison, and solemnly jump into the new year and the fulfillment of their own wishes!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and next year we check who has achieved what - also a topic for table conversation, by the way.

"The best"

Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. A good way to keep guests busy is to give them unique tasks, but few people want to just compete, right?

What to write on labels:

The owner of the brownest eyes.
The best high jumper.
To the biggest hooligan (here you will have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
The owner of the best tan.
The owner of the highest heels.
The owner of the most dangerous job.
A couple whose number of buttons on their clothes is 10.
To the one who is wearing more yellow today.

I think you understand the main message. Guests will independently begin to find out who vacationed where, who has a brighter tan, measure the length of their heels and discuss work.

"Song from a Hat"

In the New Year 2019, we will play with our family a popular variation of this game with songs. You need to scribble notes with winter and New Year's words into the hat, each guest blindly takes a note out of the hat and sings a song in which this word appears.

By the way, this game is also suitable for small company of any age - of course, a schoolchild is unlikely to recognize Soviet songs, but the result will be funny, and different age groups will be able to get closer while playing - after all, cool New Year's competitions unite!

"Mittens"

Naturally, New Year's competitions for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?

So, the girls put on robes or shirts, and the guys are given thick winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to quickly button up the girls' shirts so that they don't freeze!

"Let's draw Santa Claus"

Creative New Year competitions for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.

At work, you can divide the team into male and female teams, and give one the task of portraying the Snow Maiden, and the other - Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to a fairy-tale character.

By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to find funny music - I use cuts from Soviet children's cartoons for New Year's competitions 2019, this usually evokes the warmest emotions.

"We distribute roles"

You can start fun competitions for the New Year for your family with this kind of entertainment.

Everyone present must play their part. These could be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the Snow Queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his reindeer. Give out small attributes to all guests that will correspond to their role that night - for example, a crown is suitable for the snow queen, Santa Claus can loudly knock with an elegant staff, and a company of oversized bunnie boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as Grandma Winter or Mikhailo Potapych, who specially woke up for competitions for the New Year 2019 and New Year's dances, begins to speak a toast.

"Photo tests"

What are some cool competitions for the New Year without photos?

the most decrepit snowflake;
the sleepiest guest;
the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
the hungriest Santa Claus;
the most generous Santa Claus;
the kindest Santa Claus;
the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
the most overfed guest;
the most cheerful guest;
the most cunning Baba Yaga;
the evil Kashchei himself;
the strongest hero;
the most capricious princess;
the biggest snowflake;
and so on…

"Little things from Grandfather Frost"

Wrap all kinds of nice little things that you bought in advance in opaque packaging, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of fabric, like miniature bags, tied with a thick thread or ribbon.

Pleasant little things can include: calendar cards, candles, keychains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.

Every time it surprises with what trepidation guests wait for these gifts... Not only children, but even adults :-)

Well, and finally, be a good magician and predictor, another New Year's entertainment from the site:

Now you know how my holiday will go, and what games will you have for the New Year’s corporate party or home party? Share your ideas, because it’s better to prepare table games for the New Year and interesting competitions in advance, and 2019 is just around the corner!

Competition "Tomato"
Two volunteers are called. They stand facing each other on opposite sides of the same stool. The presenter puts a banknote on a stool and announces that on the count of “one, two, three...” “Whoever puts his hand on the bill first wins (for more excitement, the bill can be given to the winner). Further, the task becomes more complicated: a new bill is placed, the players are blindfolded (blindfolded, they check whether it is in place) and on the count of “one, two, three...” they unanimously clap their hand on ... the tomato, which during the counting the leader put instead of the bill .

Competition "Twins"
Two people approach each other and hug with one hand (one takes the partner’s waist with his right hand, the other with his left). It turns out that each of them has one free hand. Then they are given a task that they must complete as if it were two hands of one person. For example, cut out a shape. The 1st participant holds a sheet of paper with his left hand and guides it correctly, with the second right hand he cuts it with scissors. I like the following version of the task better: lace up the shoe, put it in a box, pour flour from the bag into a jar, close it with a lid, put it back in the box, close the box and tie it with a ribbon. For successful completion of the task, 2 candies are given.

"Telegram to Santa Claus"
The guys are asked to name 13 adjectives: “fat”, “red-haired”, “hot”, “hungry”, “lethargic”, “dirty”, etc. When all the adjectives are written down, the presenter takes out the text of the telegram and inserts into it the missing adjectives from the list.
Telegram text:
"… Santa Claus!

Decorate the Christmas tree
They make several Christmas decorations made of cotton wool (apples, pears, fish) with wire hooks and a fishing rod with the same hook. You need to use a fishing rod to hang all the toys on the Christmas tree, and then use the same fishing rod to remove them. The winner is the one who manages to do it in set time, for example in two minutes. A fir branch mounted on a stand can serve as a Christmas tree.

Tangerine football
They play on the table, each “player” has a pointer and middle finger one of the children, the ball is a tangerine.

Catch a snowball
The game involves two teams. One child from each team has an empty bag in his hands, which he holds wide open. Each team has several paper snowballs. At the signal, everyone begins to throw snowballs into the bag, and partners also help, trying to catch them. The winner is the team whose package contains large quantity snowballs.

Snowball
Redemption of New Year's prizes from Santa Claus's bag can be arranged as follows.
In a circle, both adults and children pass a specially prepared “snowball” made of cotton wool or white fabric.
“Kom” is passed on and Santa Claus says:
We're all rolling a snowball,
We all count to five -
One two three four five -
Sing a song for you.
Or:
And read poetry for you.
Or:
You should dance a dance.
Or:
Let me tell you a riddle...
The person who redeems the prize leaves the circle, and the game continues.

The two tallest participants or two adults stand and join hands. They hold their hands up (like a mini round dance) and say:

The remaining participants - mice - run between the hands of the catchers. On last words hands give up, the “mousetrap” slams shut, whoever is caught joins the catchers. The mousetrap gets bigger and the game repeats. The last mouse wins.

A game of attentiveness. We answer yes or no. It turns out pretty funny.

The first participant to become free wins.

The cash register is closed, there is a large lock and a notice on the door.
It explains that due to renovations to the box office, tickets for the event will be issued at such and such a location. Those gathered find the cash register. It is unusual: it is made in the shape of a large birdhouse located under the ceiling (in a park it can be placed on a tree).
There is a sign on the birdhouse: “Cashier”. A cashier in a fancy dress sits there and invites those who want to see a wonderful performance, for which only he has free tickets. You can get a ticket by climbing to the ticket office using a rope or pole hanging in front of it.
But not everyone who dares to climb the rope manages to get tickets. Before issuing tickets, the cashier asks everyone who comes to the box office to sign for their receipt.
For this purpose, there is a black wooden board nailed to the cash register and a chalk hanging on a string. This turns out to be the most difficult, and for many simply impossible, condition...

Snipers

To play outdoors, you need a playground measuring 3x9 meters.
In the middle, across the site at a height of 1.5 meters, a rope or net is stretched, and on each side of it, 9 towns are placed in squares drawn on the ground (3x3 meters).
The players are divided into two equal teams of 3-5 people.
Having played out the “cities” and the right to first strike, the teams take turns throwing plywood rings through a rope (or net) from the center of their square, trying to throw them on the towns located in the opponents’ square.
Each team player throws two rings. When it is possible to put a ring on a town, it is considered knocked out and is removed from the field. The winner is the team that knocks out all the enemy towns.

Cities

This is an old Russian riddle game.
Children can play it themselves in small groups. Each player takes several cities, for example ten. In order not to forget your cities, you can write down each city on a separate piece of paper and keep these sheets of paper in front of you. (The names of the playing cities should not be repeated, otherwise there will be confusion and disputes will begin.)
One of the players is appointed as a riddler, he must guess ten riddles. Guess the first one.
The players take turns approaching him and quietly, so that others do not hear, they say the answer.
Those who fail to guess give one of their cities to the riddler.
When all the participants in the game have given the answer, the riddle is new riddle. After the tenth riddle, they see who has how many cities left.
It also happens that some players surrender all their cities.

After ten riddles, the second riddler offers his own riddles. Game continues. The one who guesses correctly gets the city he passed. Then the third riddle comes out with new riddles, and everyone guesses them.
After this, they count how many cities they have left. The one with the most of them wins. The one who surrendered all his cities and failed to return them is forced to do something funny.

Prohibited movement

This game is played to music.
The participants of the game stand in a circle. The presenter goes to the middle and agrees with the players that they will repeat all his movements after him without delay. But one movement, for example, “hands on the belt,” cannot be repeated. Anyone who breaks the rule leaves the game.
The game begins with a general signal. The presenter does various things to the music gymnastic exercises or dance movements in place or moving in a circle, but at the same time “fines” everyone who makes mistakes.

Who is first?

The game is played with gymnastic wooden rings.
Three people are called and take this ring with their right hand.
At a distance of two meters from each of the players is placed matchbox. At the signal, the players pull the ring towards their box, trying to get it. Everyone will pull in their own direction, so this will not be very easy to do. Whoever gets their box first will be considered the winner.

Handshake

Place two players next to each other with their backs to each other, blindfold them and ask them to take 3-4 steps forward, and then turn around twice in place, take the same number of steps back and shake hands.
Players and spectators must remain silent.

Offensive

The players are divided into two equal groups. The participants of the game line up on opposite sides platforms facing each other.
A line is drawn in front of the line. At the leader’s command, players in one line join hands and walk forward to the other line, which remains in place.
When the attacking team approaches the other by three or four steps, the crowd member gives a signal (two claps, a whistle). The attackers separate their hands, turn in a circle and quickly run away beyond their line. Players from the other team catch the runners. It is not allowed to pursue the enemy beyond the line, the spotted players are counted, and they go back to their team.
After this, the second team goes on the offensive, and the players of the first team catch them at the signal.
The game is repeated four to six times. The team that manages to tarnish more players from the opposing team wins.

Raffle

The clown approaches a group of guys, holding an ordinary stick in his hands.
This stick is enchanted,” he announces. It’s clear that everyone will be interested in what the miraculous properties of the stick are.
- I can hold it as long as I want, but any of you will throw it before I count to three! - declares the clown.
Someone will certainly try to hold the stick while the clown counts. The clown agrees to give the stick, but sets a condition:
- If you hold the stick while I count to three, then I will have to jump around this room on one leg. And if you don’t hold on, then you’ll have to jump.
Then the clown passes the stick to the one who is arguing with him and begins to count:
- Once! Two! I'll finish the count tomorrow morning. Will you hold the stick until the morning? No? Then jump!

Prizes (lotteries)

First option.
Tie the prizes to strings and hide them behind a high, blank partition or screen so that only the ends of the strings come out.
A lottery participant can draw a prize using a string.
Of course, he is not allowed to try to pull first one string or the other. Whichever one you touched, pull it.

Second option.
The prizes are packaged in bags of different sizes, but in such a way that a large bag may contain a miniature trinket, such as a toy soldier, and a small bag may contain a fountain pen, a bottle of perfume, or a beautiful notebook.

Third option.
Selecting a lottery from a list (without seeing the items themselves).
The Secret of the List: Things are named so intricately that it's hard to guess what they actually are.
Let’s say the list says “Pocket vacuum cleaner”, and behind this loud name there is a clothes brush; The “writing apparatus” turns out to be a simple pencil.

Fun relay race

The first stage of the relay is sledding. Distance - 30-35 meters. Then the skiers take over the baton and must climb the hill. Here the guys on sleds take up the baton.
Their task: while going down the hill, at full speed, collect as many flags as possible, placed on both sides of the slope. Then the baton passes to the skaters. They need to rush between towns without hitting them.
The next step is to roll four snowballs and throw them in a circle to create eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

New stage: go down the mountain, standing together on one pair of skis.
The relay passes again to the guys sitting on the sleds. Now they must move by pushing off with sticks.

At the final stage, you need to drive as far as possible on the ice on one skate without losing your balance.
Of course, tasks in stages can be alternated in a different order.

Skiers, take your seats!

Guys on skis with poles slowly move in a circle in a column one at a time, with a distance of two or three skis between them.
The driver (without sticks), approaching one or the other skier, commands: “Follow me!”
The person called, sticking his poles into the snow, follows the driver at a distance of two or three skis.
Each next summoned person is positioned behind the head of the previously summoned player and follows him.
Gradually, the driver takes all the skiers with him at a distance of 50 meters away from the circle, now marked with sticks.
At the same time, he can go up and down the slides along the way, changing direction.
Suddenly the driver commands: “Get to your seats!”
Skiers run to the circle and take any place between the poles, holding them.
The driver does the same.
Whoever is late and left without a seat becomes the driver, and the game continues again.

"Day and night"

Two teams walk in two columns, one at a time, at a distance of two steps from each other on both sides of the middle line of the site, two meters from it.
One team is called “Day”, the other is called “Night”. 25 meters from the middle line on each side are the sites of the “Day” and “Night” teams. The areas are limited by lines parallel to the middle line.
The presenter calls one of the teams: “Night!” The called team turns towards its court and runs beyond its line. Players from the other team are trying to catch up with them. The one who is caught up stops.
The leader counts those stopped, and they join their team.
After a few runs the game ends.
The team with the fewest stopped players wins.

Sled relay

The participants of the game form two teams and line up in pairs in columns. Each team has a sled with a rope installed at the starting line. Flags or snowmen are placed 15-25 meters from it.
At the leader’s signal, one of the players of the first pair of each team quickly gets into the sled, and the second takes him to the flag.
Here they change places, and the player who was previously sitting on the sled drives the sled to the start.
The returning pair becomes the last in their column, and the second pair also quickly takes the sled, leads it to the flag and back and passes it to the third pair, etc.
The team whose players finish skating first wins.

Snowmen

It is better to play the game on a warm winter day outside, when the snow is falling well. It involves several units of equal numbers.
At the first signal from the leader, each link rolls up large snowballs and makes a snowman out of them on the target line, located 10-15 steps from the throwing line.
The heads of the snowmen are made small and not attached to the body with anything.
Then each link prepares a supply of snowballs and places them at the throwing line.
At the second signal, the teams begin to throw snowballs at their snowman, trying to knock his head off. However, they do not cross the throwing line.
The team that knocks off its snowman's head first wins.

Catch up!

Two teams line up in columns at a distance of three meters from each other and face the judge.
Thirty meters to the side of each column a straight line is drawn - the “city”.
At the judge’s command “First, run away!” the players of the first team turn their faces to their “city” and run, trying to cross its line as quickly as possible. And the players of the second team run after them, trying to catch up with those running away and touch them with their hands.
The judge counts how many players were caught up and spotted before they crossed the line of their “city”.
Both teams then return to their seats and play resumes.

The judge gives the command “Run away!”, alternating it at his own discretion, so the players do not know in advance which team will have to run away and which will have to catch up.
The winner is the team that, after several runs, manages to tarnish larger number playing from another team.
Of course, the number of runs must be the same.

Dash

At one end of the site, the “city” line is drawn or marked with flags, and at the other - the horse line.
The distance between them is up to 20 meters.
A line is also drawn between the lines on the side.
One team stands behind the “city” line, the other - behind the side line.
Each member of this team makes three snowballs for himself (no more).
The referee takes a seat on the side and gives the signal to start the game.
At this signal, the members of the first team try to run one at a time to get out of the “city” and beyond the horse line.
And the second team, throwing snowballs, tries to incapacitate as many of those running across as possible.
Each player who is hit by a snowball must immediately go to the side - outside the playing area.
After the first team finishes running, the judge counts the number of those remaining in the ranks. Then the same team one by one runs back to the “city”, dodging snowballs.
The judge again counts the number of “survivors.”
Now the teams change roles and the game resumes.
The team with the most players left at the end of the game wins.

Quick dashes

The players stand in a circle and are counted in numerical order. In the middle of the circle is the driver. He approaches one of the players and asks if the seat is free.
The player names any two numbers at his discretion. For example, he may answer: “No, the place is taken, but the third and twelfth will be available soon.”
At this time, the guys whose places are named quickly change places with each other.
The driver takes advantage of this moment, trying to quickly take one of the vacant seats. If he manages to do this, then the player left without a place becomes the driver. Otherwise, the driver remains in the center of the circle and the game continues.
This game can also be played indoors.

Puck per circle

Players with hockey sticks in their hands form a large circle.
The driver with a hockey puck or wooden ball stands in the center of the circle. By hitting the puck, he tries to bring it beyond the line of the circle, and the players hit the puck, exposing their sticks and trying to direct it back to the driver.
The player who passes the puck beyond the circle to his right becomes the driver and takes a place in the center of the circle, and the driver takes his place in the circle.
Game continues.
