Participants are divided into pairs of two. Each pair is given a roll toilet paper, baby bucket, peeled carrots.

In each pair, one "sculpts" a snowman from the second participant of the competition, using all the proposed materials. Whoever "blinds the snowman" faster, and most importantly, better quality is the winner.

Dress up the Christmas tree!

(variant of the previous competition)

In this case, each pair participating in the competition is given tinsel, Christmas tree decorations, stars, fir branches and a pack of clothespins.

Exercise: who will "dress up the Christmas tree" faster and more beautifully.

Best shooter

Produced under the ceiling of the hall inflated with helium Balloons, one of which contains confetti. The participants of the competition are given slingshots. The goal is to shoot down the balls. Naturally, the most accurate wins. The participant who knocks down the balloon with confetti will receive a special prize. This prize can be the kiss of the Snow Maiden (Santa Claus).

Help Santa Claus

The presenter says that in the coming year there was not enough snow in the city, and since, due to a misunderstanding, a certain amount of snow flew into this hall, he asks volunteers to help Santa Claus. Preliminarily scattered throughout the hall paper snowflakes... Participants are given baskets (as an option, thick darning needles with threads for stringing snowflakes on them are possible). the largest number snowflakes for a given time, a medal "For the invaluable contribution to the cause of Santa Claus" is awarded.

Am I drunk?

The host calls one volunteer and offers him a sobriety test. Champagne bottles are placed in a straight line at a step distance. The participant is offered to step over them blindfolded without knocking them down. Given the complexity of the task, the participant is allowed to first walk the distance without a blindfold. After that, the subject is blindfolded, and the presenter, having made a sign to the audience, quickly removes all the bottles from the distance. After that, the subject, amid general laughter, walks, raising his legs high, through non-existent obstacles.

Who is the slimmest here?

Two gymnastic hoops are on display. Two barkers (ideally, Santa Claus and Snegurochka) are trying to invite the largest number of participants into their hoop, while they themselves are also inside the hoop. The presenter counts the number of people in each hoop, declares the team with a large number of fit participants as the winner, but gives sweet prizes to the team with fewer participants (explaining this by the fact that the winning team must take care of their figures in order to continue to win such competitions!)

The game was sent to the Piggy Bank by Corinna Chebotareva: "We made this game on our new year's eve... The aim of the game is to test the participants' knowledge of the Bible story (in this case Rozhdestvenskaya history) and also to amuse everyone present. When choosing people for interviews, you need to consider their quick wit and courage to respond unexpectedly. questions asked... It is advisable to select people to interview in advance. "

It is advisable to shoot the game on video, and then show the video. Good memory of Christmas Eve!

Host: Good evening, dear viewers! Welcome to (host name) with the Concord youth news program. Today with us live the events of Bethlehem, during which we will sum up the results of the past year. I present to you our special correspondent, who will interview eyewitnesses of the events that took place. They say that some time before the birth of Christ, the priest Zachariah, during his service in the temple, lost his speech.

Correspondent:
To Elizabeth: Did you immediately believe Zechariah's words that your family will soon have a child?

Host: During all the events that were taking place, the Magi from the East noticed strange manifestations in the sky.

Correspondent:
Magus 1: What were the significance of the gifts that you brought for the Son of God?
To Magus 2: How did you know that it was this star? (what was your trust in the star you followed based on?)
Magus 3: Who did you turn to to find the king?

Correspondent: To make it a little clearer for us, let's disturb the king.
To Herod: Why did you look for the Child that people from the East told you about? Did you manage to kill Him?

Correspondent: There are also executors of the law here.
To the Warrior: The Bible says: "Do not kill ...". Why did you obey the order of King Herod to kill the children?
In the future, history tells us about amazing discovery during the excavation of the burial of the bodies of murdered babies. Scientists, while excavating, discovered two colors of bones. Some of the bones were black, others were white. Surprised by this discovery, archaeologists could not determine which bones were girls and which were boys. Which bones do you think belong to which gender? (this is a provocative question as only baby boys were killed)

Host: (reads from the Bible Luke 2.25) "Then there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon." Oh, He was also an eyewitness, but let's ask Him too?

Correspondent:
To Simeon: Simeon, what inspired you to come to the temple? Did you expect the coming of the Mission? How did you recognize the Child in the temple?

Host: There are rumors among the people that the shepherds heard the most beautiful singing in the world.

Correspondent: Shepherds, where are you?
To the Shepherds: What was the night? Tell us about how the Angel announced the birth of Christ to you? Have you believed the angel's words that Christ should lie in a manger?

Host: Let's see what was happening in the city at that time.

Correspondent: Here we see the owner of the hotel. Quite interesting to know from the innkeeper why they were overcrowded.
To the Innkeeper: Did you know and expect the coming of the Messiah? How did you feel when you learned that you had refused the King of Kings a favor?

Host: Now let's turn our attention to an unusual young couple

Correspondent:
To Joseph: Why did you not want to take Mary as your wife at first? Why did you like Maria? What qualities were there in Mary?

Correspondent:

To Mary: Tell me, how did the Angel appear to you? Why do you think God chose you to be the mother of the Son of God?

Correspondent: News of Bethlehem. There was a special correspondent with you (name). Thank you for attention.

Christmas games for preschoolers

Target: to maintain children's interest in the origins of Russian national culture; reveal the meaning of the holiday Christmas Christ and the importance of this event in the life of every person.

Tasks:

Instill love and respect for the traditions and culture of your country. To intensify speech through oral folk art.

To cultivate friendly relations with each other, love for one's neighbor, creating a positive mood.

They will help to make the holiday unforgettable and fun for children christmas games... In the old days, a lot of time was devoted to games, many of which, unfortunately, have been forgotten by our generation. Let's remember some of them.

Good afternoon, fun hour!

Glad to see you again!

Congratulate everyone on the occasion -

Happy New Year, with Merry christmas!

Happy days have come

Lights are burning on the tree

Ringing laughter is heard everywhere -

It's time for fun!

For jokes and fun

Cool mood

For funny carols

Such is christmas order!

The game "Pie"

(to the Russian folk melody)

rules games: children stand in two lines opposite each other. In the middle - the driver "pie"... Everything sing:

Yes, he is so tall,

Yes, he is so wide,

Yes, he is so soft,

Cut it up and eat it.

After the words "Cut it and eat it" To "Pie" run one participant from each line. Who will be the first to touch "pirogue", takes him to his team, and the loser is left to portray "pie". Group wins taking more "Pies".

The game "You roll, roll the snow".

The guys stand in a circle, betray the snow to each other with in words:

We will stand together in a circle

We will roll a snowball

Who will freeze the snow

That one will dance for us.

Whoever has a snowball comes out and dances.

"Tryntsy-bryntsy, bells".

We blindfold one participant. We stand around him. We pronounce:

Tryntsy-bryntsy, bells.

The daredevils rang:

Digi-digi-digi-don,

Guess where the ringing comes from!

After these words, the “blind man” should guess by the sound of the bell and catch the participant with the bell who dodges him. When the participant with the bell is caught, he becomes "Blind man's buff" and the previous one "Blind man's buff" turns into a regular player.

What doesn't happen on the tree?

To conduct this game, the presenter must learn the following simple rhymes in advance and address them to the players. Task so: when you hear the name Christmas tree toys, you need to raise your hand up and to tell: "Yes!" When they name something that does not happen on the tree, one must restrain and keep silent. And this is not always easily: Someone is bound to make a mistake, causing everyone to laugh. The presenter reads, not letting the players especially ponder:

So the holiday is coming

Everyone decorates the tree.

Who guys will confirm:

Hangs on its branches:

Soft toy,

A ringing firecracker

Petenka-parsley,

Old tub,

White snowflakes

Bright pictures,

Torn shoes

Chocolate bars,

Horses and horses

Bunnies made of cotton wool,

Winter tents,

Red lanterns,

Bread croutons,

Bright flags

Hats and scarves,

Apples and cones

Colin's panties,

Tasty candy,

Fresh newspapers ?.

Manage to convey

The players stand in a circle. To the music, they pass from hand to hand a small toy (for example, a plastic Snow Maiden)... As soon as the music stops, the transfer of the toy is stopped. The one who has the Snow Maiden in his hands is eliminated from games... After that, the game continues. Music should be cut off often and suddenly, but at different intervals. The one who remains the last wins.

You can make this change to the game.

Whenever the music stops, the one who has the toy in his hands, as well as the one who handed it over to him, take a step forward, put the toy in front of him on the floor, stand with his back to each other next to it, and, at the sign of the leader, each run to your side. They run around the circle and try to catch the toy in time. The one who succeeded takes his place, the unsuccessful one drops out of games... This option is used when few children participate in the game.

What changed?

This is a game that develops visual memory. Drivers take turns offered this exercise: for a minute, examine the toys hanging on one or two branches of the Christmas tree and remember them. After that, those who will guess: “What has changed?”, You have to leave the room. At this time, several toys (three four) outweigh: some can be removed, some can be added. Entering the room, you need to examine your branches and say what has changed. Depending on the age of the children, tasks can be either complicated or simplified.

How is the number known?

Numbers are pre-written on paper cards. The cards lie at the driver in a small bag or laid out on the table (numbers down, like exam tickets. Players take turns drawing cards and quickly try to figure out what number known: in what stable phrase, biblical dictum, proverb, riddle it is mentioned.

For example, drawing out a card with the number “3”, you can recall the three wise men who brought to the newborn Savior his gifts, remember the three-times crowing of the rooster and the denial of the Apostle Peter, and then about the three-time questioning of him Savior: "Simone Ionin, do you love Me?" - and the apostle's threefold affirmative answer.

Taking out a piece of paper with the number “4”, you can think of four evangelists, four days of fasting throughout the year.

And looking at the card with the number “7”, say about the Seven Days of Creation, about the seven sacraments of the Church, seven days of the week, seven colors of the rainbow.

However, it is worthwhile to think in advance which numbers are better to exclude from the tasks, since quickly coming up with an answer to them may be too difficult.

(From folk games recorded by V.I.Dal)

Children sit down to play. One of them puts a basket on the table and says neighbor:

- Here's a box for you, put what you have in it, if you mention it, you will give a deposit.

Children take turns speaking words in rhyme on OK: “I'll put a ball in the box; and I am a scarf; I am a lock, a knot, a box, a boot, a slipper, a stocking, an iron, a pie, a bun. ”Anyone who cannot name the words or is mistaken puts a pledge to the basket - a small object (handkerchief, candy, ring or something else).

At the end, are played out pledges: Taking them out of a basket covered with a handkerchief, the children assign a ransom to each pledge - to make a riddle, read a poem, and sing a song.

Relay race "Collect a snowman" with parents

Two teams participate in the relay "SNOWFLAKE" and "ICE", are built in columns one after another. Each of the members of the two teams is given paired pieces of a snowman cut out of cardboard. (Three circles - large, medium and small, arms, legs, eyes, nose - carrot, bucket, broom). At the command of the leader, the players of both teams, in pairs, run up to a certain place, put their part and return to their team. Team wins, who collected the snowman the fastest and gets a token.

Well done mischievous

Lights shine in my eyes.

For the year to go well

Let's remember the winter fun!

(speaks and shows movements and asks children to repeat)

Snowflakes are quietly falling (Children clap quietly at palms)

Santa Claus freezes ice (Clap loudly)

It covered a large snowdrift.

In it - jump-yes-jump! (Jump)

Prepared skates

Do "Swallow" could ... (Show)

And now we get up on skis.

We can race to Paris. (Move to the tree and back)

We continue to have fun

You need to take a ride down the hill. (We got up as a train and ran)

Who's got cold feet?

Mash them up a little! (Jumping in place)

"Golden Gate"

Two players stand opposite each other and, holding hands, raise their hands up. It turns out "Collars"... The rest of the children stand one after another and put their hands on the shoulders of the one in front, or simply hold hands. The resulting chain should go under the gate.

"Vorotiki" pronounce:

Together:

Golden Gate

Not always missed!

The first time he says goodbye

The second time is forbidden

And the third time

We will not let you pass!

After these words "Collars" drop their hands sharply, and those children who were caught also become "Collars"... Gradually the amount "Gate" increases and the chain decreases. The game ends when all the children become "Gate".

Fun is called -

"We will go to the right before ..."

Let's stand together in a round dance,

Repeat after me, people!

All get up in a round dance and repeat the movements after words.

Together:

We'll go right first. One two Three!

And then let's go left. One two Three!

Let's get together in a circle. One two Three!

And then we'll go our separate ways. One two Three!

We'll all sit down quietly. One two Three!

And we'll lie down a little. One two Three!

Let's all slap in palms... One two Three!

Dance our legs. One two Three!

(Any fun music sounds here and everyone dances.)

Light christmas star

Gives a holiday again

Congratulations from the bottom of our hearts

WITH Merry Christmas!

“During my student days, I very cleverly performed one trick with everyone who wanted to know the name of their betrothed, which I, in turn, learned in the company of the same curious girls, friends of my older sister. And the whole trick is actually very simple, like everyone else For the success of this event, you need a bathroom or just a sink with a small bar of soap, preferably completely flat, although any will do for lack of another. After all, you need to light the candles, so buy them in advance. And when all this is ready, everyone gathered, everyone has already exhausted their knowledge in the field of Christmas fortune-telling, you, as if by the way, can ask: “And I can tell you how your husband will be called any of you. ”In response, you can hear anything: surprise, mistrust, etc. But surely someone will be interested in it. This is where it all begins. You can even before you say your intriguing phrase, writing be on the inside of your forearm (from hand to elbow) with a prepared remnant of any male name. This should be done with the edge of slightly moistened soap so that the hand remains dry. If you did not have time to do this in advance, then after you have interested everyone, do something in such a way that you need to go out (get matches, comb your hair, eventually go to the toilet), just do not say that you need to prepare for fortune-telling, this can alert the most suspicious, and there are such always and everywhere. When you retire, you need to write any male name or the name of the prospective groom of the one who first volunteered. When you return to everyone, you must seriously invite everyone to concentrate and in no case laugh, in general, let the fog go. Then offer the girl, for whom the fortune-telling will be carried out, to burn 5-20 matches (as much as your heart desires, but not less than 5) and spread the completely burnt matches on your prepared forearm. When a girl burns matches, she should completely focus on her future, as she sees it (or come up with something interesting yourself again for the same fog). Then, with no less concentration, you need to grind the burnt matches right on your hand (cruel, but you can't do it for a laugh), while with every movement of it, the name that you previously wrote will be visible on your hand. You can believe that even the most skeptical people will believe and want to do it themselves, and maybe more than once. For the second and subsequent time, you will no longer need to look for an excuse to go to the coveted water and soap, to write the coveted name for next girl... It is desirable that no one except you knows this joke, but it is not so important if that person is your ally. It is also important to be absolutely serious and even, perhaps, indifferent, in no case should you laugh. When everyone is satisfied, you can tell about everything, unless you want to keep the monopoly for the next year. In my case, there were most skeptics from the very beginning, and they started out of curiosity. And in the end, even the most ardent skeptics were so infuriated and seriously believed in everything. They had doubts even after I honestly told them everything. But in general, everyone was satisfied, and, what is most interesting, even after my confession, everyone was told that their betrothed would be called exactly as I predicted. I wish you all good luck in carrying out this fortune-telling! "...

Event progress

Leading: Hello kids! Do you know what holiday is today? What joyous occasion do people celebrate on this day? Today ! Let's take a short trip to this wonderful holiday in order to understand why it is needed. And we will start with a very interesting story... Now we are becoming spectators. Imagine that you are in puppet theater... Watch the performance of the actors carefully, and then tell us what exactly we are happy about this day.

The presenter arranges a Christmas nativity scene for children in order to explain the essence of the holiday to children in a playful and accessible way.

Leading: What happened on this day many, many years ago? That's right, the baby Jesus was born, who saved all mankind from destruction. In some countries, Christ was greeted with cheerful bells ringing. We're going to be the bell ringers now! Tell us what we need to do our job?

Children: Bells.

Leading: Everything is correct. But since you are still small, your bells will be small too (handing out bells). Let's celebrate the birth of Jesus together.

Children are ringing bells.

Leading: Guys, remember who predicted the birth of the future savior?

Children:

Leading: Well done! Do you know that every person has a guardian angel?

And in order not to forget about it, let's make our own angel. To do this, we now need to turn into masters and go to the workshop.

They go to the table on which required material for the manufacture of angels (cardboard, scissors, threads, glue). The host conducts a master class on creating angels.

Leading: Guys, look what beautiful angels you have turned out. Now you can hang them on the Christmas tree so that everyone can see your work. Now we will become decorators who are engaged in decoration.

Children go to the tree, hang the resulting figurines of angels.

Leading: Guys, not only people are happy that Christ has appeared. All living beings on this day try to share joy with each other. We must not forget about our smaller brothers - birds and dogs. They should also have a holiday today to make the house fun. Do you remember what you need to feed the birds?

Children: Bread, wheat.

Leading: Let's prepare a rich table for our birds.

In a pre-prepared feeder, children gradually pour grain, dress, go out into the street, and help the presenter install the feeder.

Then the Christmas games are held

and contests on the street:

• "Making a Christmas Snowman" - children sculpt a snowman, decorate it with tinsel, rain, Christmas decorations.
• "Sanya in a sleigh"- kids ride each other in turns on a sled, avoid obstacles.
• "Angels"- children make figures of angels in the snow (lie down on the snow, wave their hands, "drawing" wings in this way).
• "Snow tags" - to grease, you need to hit a friend with a snowball.

After the snow fun, the children enter the house.

Leading: Guys, you know that you can congratulate others not only with words. How else do you think this can be done?

Children: Make a postcard!

Leading: That's right, and now we will be artists. We will make our own postcard. We need to go to the workshop again.

Children go to a table on which there are the necessary attributes: white cardboard and pencils or felt-tip pens, and a ready-made coloring card. First, a conversation is held on the topic of what can be drawn on a postcard, and then the children start to work.

Leading: Well, here we have done very much beautiful postcards... Now we will congratulate each other. Let's give memory cards to each other. Guys, who delivers postcards and letters to the right addressees?

Children: Postman!

Leading: Right. And now we will play postmen.

Children sit on chairs in a circle. One child is a driver. The driver calls the names of two children. Those whom he named should quickly switch places. The driver at this time is trying to take the place of one of them. The child who did not have time to take a seat becomes a driver. After the game, the children exchange postcards. The facilitator should make sure that each child gets a card.

Leading: On Christmas Eve, people dress up in different costumes and they go caroling, wishing happiness and good. And in response, the owners, who were presented with congratulations, give various gifts. Let’s also be a fan of ours. But first you need to change.

Prepared for children in advance bright clothes larger or smaller: T-shirts, hats, mittens, socks and so on. Each child is given the same amount of clothing. On command, they have to put on all things on themselves - who will cope with the task faster?

Leading: So we got dressed up! Now you can make a splash! Do you know any Christmas carols? No? We'll have to learn. So now we will be actors. We will have to congratulate the owners so that they do not doubt our sincerity!

The leader reads the carol line by line, the children repeat the words and movements behind him.

Leading: Now you can go caroling!

Children come up to their parents, sing a Christmas carol to them. For this they receive treats.

Leading: Well, now - a Christmas tale. Guess what role you need to play now?

Children: Role of listeners.

Leading: Everything is correct. A miracle can happen on Christmas Day. Even if it seems that there is nowhere to wait for help, it still comes from where it was not expected at all. This is what the Christmas tale tells about. Are you ready to listen? Then sit back and listen.

The host reads a Christmas tale. Asks questions about the content, understanding of the work.

Leading: Guys, remember who we did today at the very beginning of the holiday?

Children: Angels.

Leading: Do you want to become angels for a while? What do you need for this?

Children: Wings!

The presenter distributes wings to the children and conducts the torch of the angels:

• "Fly over" desired distance.
• Collect snowflakes fallen to the floor.
• Light up everything around - glue as many rays as possible to the yellow circle to make a lush sun.
• Remove all clouds from heaven: clouds and a sun made in the previous competition are attached to a sheet of whatman paper, the children in turn run up and remove one cloud at a time.
• Finish painting - stick on whatman paper beautiful snowflakes that were collected.

Leading: All good things come to an end someday, and it's time for you to land. Take off your wings and turn into children!

Children take off their wings. They sit down on the chairs.

Leading: Guys, do you remember who showed the way for the wise men to the baby Jesus?

Children: Star!

Leading: Right. And now we will try to find such an asterisk in the room. Carefully inspect the room and try to determine where it is!
